This devise is really an amazing devise. It will allow you to park your car anywhere in your garage you please. It has green, yellow, red (stop) lights on it just like a typical red light. It works the same every time you park.

I have had one of the cheaper version (other brands) that only allow you to park a certain distance from the wall and that is not always handy. With this one you set you car any distance you want it in the garage and push a button to set it, and you are done.

My dad had one of these in the battery powered only, worked well, but every time battery went dead you had to reset it. This one work well and is powered by 120 volt so you never have to worry about a battery or having to reset it. *THIS IS A GREAT UPDATE TO THE BATTERY ONLY MODEL*

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2006
I tried this unit for about two weeks, and had to switch it to another location. Okay value at $23; but rather like the ceiling mounted laser idea.

PRO
Easy to install. Easy to use. Pretty accurate (+/-2inches).
Comes with a AC power adapter that I wasn't planning on using.

CON
Needs plenty of space around echo locator or their "ultrasonic transducer" (Also ping'g is audible and may by annoying if you're sitting in front of the sensor). I have it next to a garage/home entry door with a little traffic. This is a major problem, i.e., unit does not like things left in front of unit- like a bike or box. In fact, shoe-high boxes or other items placed unwittingly in the sensing range or left under the subject car may throw off the accuracy of this device. Unit is suppose to revert to "Default-Mode to check against such nuisances". It definitely does not like much people traffic in front of unit.

Batteries were suppose to last a year. I was in fact planning on running just on batteries; but, they can drained unexpectedly (<1wk) probably due to a mix-up of the four modes- Home, Away, Park, and Default. Caution- current is spec'd at 60ma average. (Don't know how that works out to a year.) Luckily, it came with a AC power adapter.
Area around transducer needs to be clear by roughly 2x2ft in front of unit.

Conclusion:
I had to buy one of those laser systems for greater reliability at a comparable price. Also like the fact that it's more accurate. Almost guaranteed of a AC outlet on the ceiling.

Product: Park-Zone PZ-1500 Precision Parking Device, Dual Powered, 110V or 4AA Battery Operated (Not Incl'd)
Mfr: Measurement Specialties
Distance transducer to car: 3 ft (recommended 1.3-16)
Distance btwn transducer to floor: 1.8ft (recommended 2.3-3)
Times device had to be recalibrated: too numerous to count
Approach speed: <5 MPH
Input power: AC Adapter

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2010
This is the second Park Zone I have purchased for my aging mother who still drives. It makes her task of entering the garage and getting close to the end but not too close. The first one worked well for a number of years until she had a lapse and crunched the lower sensor with her bumper. It has saved numerous dents in the garage wall from her getting too close as had been the case prior to the Park Zone. The lights (green, amber, red) that are easily seen from the drives location make it easier to get close to the end wall without hitting the wall. I personally have driven her car into the garage and use the Park Zone myself to get close but not too close.
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2005
This comes with a surprisingly long "instructions" pamphlet which mostly just goes on and on and on about how this is so easy to install. And it is very easy. Just put it up, plug it in, and it calibrates automatically.

The trouble is, if that doesn't work, the complete lack of things you can do renders it entirely useless. I wasted hours trying to move the car, change the position of the sensor, unplug and replug to get it to recalibrate, etc. and no matter what I did, it consistently proved useless. Most of the time the lights don't even come on, or it gets to yellow when I'm all the way in the garage, but sometimes it goes to red while I'm still barely with the nose in.

The only really useful suggestion they offer for how to correct this kind of problem is to change the height of the sensor, but they provide very little by way of guidelines of what height to move it to. I followed their guidelines, then tried various other heights. For my efforts, I now have a lot of unnecessary screw-holes in my wall. None of them helped, though.

For all I know, I got a bad unit somehow, but in their quest to make this easy to install by removing all control the user has over it, they made it impossible to even tell. If you get lucky and it happens to be able to find your car like they intend, you'll get great use from this. If you don't, there won't be a single thing you can do about it. Feeling lucky?

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2009
This product could be a great aid in parking your car in your garage without hitting the back wall but, it does not work at distances closer than 1 foot. I need to bring the front bumper of my car to within 1 to 2 inches of the device. The Park-Zone turns red when I come closer than 12 inches. I had to resort to a block of wood that I feel as I come within 2 inches of the back wall. Bottom line: if you have more than 12 to 15 inches from your bumper to the back wall when your car in completely in the garage, the product is reliable. If you need to come closer than 12 inches, this product is not for you.
