Park-Zone is an innovative precision-parking device for the home that's easy to use and even easier to install. After a simple one-time setup, the Park-Zone uses its ultrasonic sensing mechanism to measure the distance from your car to the garage wall as you park. When you pull into the garage, you see the green light illuminate, then midway it changes to yellow, and when the light turns red you're right where you want to be. In our book, this beats a tennis ball hanging on a string because it's a lot easier to set up, it's much more precise, and, unlike the tennis ball, it looks good in a garage. Anyone who parks in a small or crowded garage will appreciate the accuracy this gadget offers. The Park-Zone operates on AC power or on batteries that last an entire year. Stop bumping the back wall and get into the Park-Zone. --Brian Trinen ... Read more

Very Useful Device For Safe Garage Parking
I ordered this item, it was delivered very promptly by Amazom.com. It was easy to install, but took longer than 90 seconds, as indicated by the manufacturer. Park-Zone can be installed in any garage, and simply guides you to the exact distance from the wall that you determine. It operates on 4-AA batteries (which are said to power the unit for a year) or the AC adapter included. As you drive into the garage, a green, amber, and red light guides you to the right spot. I'll be ordering 2 more for our other cars !!

It Does Exactly What It's Supposed to Do...

I was skeptical when I first purchased this item because I didn't have any confidence in it's ability to accurately gauge the distance of a bumper to the bumpee (a.k.a. the wall). But, after installing it my confidence was immediately buoyed by the unerring accuracy with which it issues its green-yellow-red sequence.

The setup and installation took about 10 minutes. Anyone can install this thing! The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the provided templates make sure your installation goes easier.

The ONLY complaint I have about this device is the number of wires it leaves exposed. Depending on the distance from an AC outlet, it can be aesthetically unpleasant. There's a wire from the signal light down to the sensor (the wire that's shown in the photo), and then another from the signal light to the AC outlet.

Overall, though, I love the device. And... it works with multiple cars and doesn't seem very sensitive to bumper height.

5 Stars!

park zone car parker
the park zone is a good product but the one that i ordered said i could park my vehicle up to 0.5ft. from the wall the ones that i recieved will only let me get as close as 1.3ft. that is not close enough for me to get it in the garage. i had the old units but i had to replace the batteries about once a month on one of them so i wanted to replace it with one with the ac power outlet i had the model no pzx-9901 i have one more of those and it works great .the new units i have are pz-1500 .
i just tried anothewr way i moved the sensor up to 4ft now i can park as close as i want the sensor hits the winshild now it works perfect.

Parking on a dime
I purchased two units a year ago. One for each of my garage doors. Love 'em both. Have no problems. Work as advertised. Takes the risk out of guessng when to stop my car. And I could take down the stupid tennis ball I have been using for years. Another plus is my wife likes the blinking colors. Go figure. Extreme change in seasonal tempature does not adversly effect the opeation of the units. Still just keep on working.

Don't Do it!
I am very disapointed in mine.
I was expecting it to be very accurate, but it doesn't work if you try to park closer than a foot from the wall.
I have a large vehicle, and I need to get within 6 inches of my wall. This device WILL NOT work with that close of a range.
Also I have been having to reset it alot (maybe because I am pulling up too close.)

I think I'll just keep pulling up until I hear it crunch! ... Read more

Not for medium-size wheels
What I like about this stand is that it's sturdy. Also, the size is pretty good for standard bikes.

I had two problems with this stand, but they are likely the exception rather than the rule:

1. My box contained two "left" racks. Picture this:
Symmetrical: U--U
Two left racks: -U-U
Oops.
The problem with simply reversing the U-shaped rack on the left is that the front/top of each U contains recessed holes that allow the heads of certain screws to sit flush with the tube. If you reverse a U, you lose that cosmetic benefit (and you need longer screws). This is a minor problem and it's probably an exceptional case. If you're the one who got the box with two "right" Us, feel free to propose a trade :)

2. A standard-size road bike fits adequately. On my non-standard bike, the 24" wheels are too small to fit into the U-shaped racks. The problem is due to the angle of the U-shaped racks with respect to the floor, the size of the tube at the base of the rack, and how those factors impact the rear derailleur. (It's a long story. I won't try to explain it.)
The wheels don't fit in the "alternate direction" either, due to insufficient clearance between the arch of the U and the rear base tube of the rack.

Quality Control...
I received my Racor PBS-2R bike rack today and was quite disappointed the minute that I opened the box. The rack was shipped in its original packaging and the box was mildly beat up. Most of the hardware was floating around in the box not in the bags like they should have been. Most of the pieces were scratched as well.
Once I started putting it together I realized that I had two left U's. Flipping over one of the U's works, but the screws will no longer be recessed like they should be. It works, but I am not the only person to have this problem. There are other people who have complained about the same problem here on Amazon. After reading the other reviews I decided against ordering two, and ordered only one to be safe. I am glad I did. I won't be ordering the second one unless they improve their Quality Control.

Great for the money
I had the same issue as another reviewer - the same "U" brackets (i.e. two "left" brackets) - I called the company - this is intentional (probably to save money). You will need to use two longer screws for one of the "U"s and two of the shorter ones for the "U" with the recessed holes (none of this makes sense now - but it will when you put it together). But it will fit together. Once done - it works great - holds my Specialized Rockhopper very firmly - and looks good (second bike - no problem). For the money (29.99 at amazon plus free shipping) - was best price around.

missing pieces
Can't rate the product 'cause I can't put it together. Box was not taped for shipping and arrived without the bag of hardware. If you're going to buy one, find one in a store if you can and inspect it carefully before taking it home. Shame on Amazon.

great for kid and adult sized bikes
We have four bikes - 2 adults and two kids. So, I bought two stands, and they work great. I turned it around for the kids' bikes and put the front tire in first. We have had no problem with them falling over. Even my four-year old is putting his bike away now! I was very tired of tripping over bikes - its nice to (1) have a way to keep the bikes upright, and (2) have a desginated place to park them.

Bonus - two scooters fit nicely in the front side of the kids bike rack - we just leaned them two opposite ways, and they stay fine.

The price for two was comparible to many four bike systems, but we like the flexability of locating two racks. ... Read more

Arrive unfunctional
This rack seems like it'd be a good idea. I bought it to free up some space inside my apartment. However, when I received the rack, I was unable to fit the pieces together.

I called the customer support people at Racor and they were very friendly. They are going to ship out a new piece for the middle which should fit.

If this works, it'll be a nice rack. Mine's not scraped up like the other reviews. However, I have yet to see if this will work.

Only holds one bike, doesn't stand up straight.
1. The packaging was poor and the base was badly scratched when I received it.

2. I'm 6'2" and I have two tall bikes. The rack is too short for both of them. With the top bracket at the highest setting, the bottom bike won't fit below it. I paid a welder $30 to change the angle of the top bracket so that it goes up 45 degrees. Now there is room for the second bike. Now the rack costs $80.

3. The joints in the rack are wobbly, so my rack tilts to the right about 5 degrees. I think it's ugly. I'm going to screw the top of the rack into the wall to fix this. That kinda defeats the purpose of a "gravity" rack.

Now that I've got it fixed up, it does what it's supposed to. Kind of a pain but it works, and it's still pretty cheap at $80.

It works and it's a deal
like other reviewers my box arrived a bit beat up, i was half expecting to find parts missing. unlike others i had no problem assembling it and it seems very sturdy. for the price you aren't going to find a better deal.

i've got way too many bikes in too small of an apartment. the lower half seems a bit useless (all my bikes are pretty big though). it's not tall enough to get the bottom bike off the floor so you can't store anything there. i'm thinking about removing the lower arms and just leaning a couple of bikes there. it's already getting my apartment into shape.

Just what I wanted!
I've been wanting a bike rack like this for years. I've tried products that seemed similar, and they just didn't work for me. This one's exactly what I was looking for.

APPEARANCE
The rack arrived with no scratches. This was a surprise, given that two of the sections that make up the vertical post were loose in the manufacturer's box, and the box was a bit battered.

The rack itself looks great in my garage.

STABILITY
When positioned against (or near) a wall, the rack sways mildly when a bike is removed or replaced. The base is big enough and the overall design is such that removing the bottom bike (gently) doesn't seem to cause the whole thing to fall over--as long as the wall is there for backup. The manufacturer recommends anchoring the rack to the wall and includes hardware for this purpose.

ASSEMBLY
The central post is delivered in three sections: The base is the curved "T" that you can see in the picture on the Amazon site. The other two sections form the vertical tube.

These main sections fit very tightly together. As far as I'm concerned, this makes the whole thing more internally stable. To assemble the central post, I relied on a many squirts from my trusty can of WD-40, some wiggling, gravity, and patience. Without all that, I would've been stuck (and the sections would've been too).

The four arms that hold the two bikes attach into slots on either side of the vertical tube. I used a small block of wood to knock the arms in and out of the slots (I don't have a mallet, and it seemed like a hammer would dent/scratch the finish). Each bike is held by resting the top tube in cradles (at the end of each arm). The cradles easily rotate as needed to adapt to the angle of the top tube. Nice touch.

It definitely took some effort to put this rack together. However, I'm pleased with the results so far. It really frees up space! Taking it apart will be an interesting challenge some day.

Is it worth the price? Well... Even with the Amazon price, it seems a bit more expensive than other garage-quality bike racks. However, over the years I've spent more in total on other racks that didn't work out for me at all. This one is just what I wanted!

worst purchase ever
The pieces would not fit together, after hours of trying lube, force and then the hammer, nothing worked. One of the tubes finally split and now there is no hope of making it work. It seemed like a good idea, but I was just taken for $60.00.

Finally, a reliable driveway monitor that actually works!
I have spent several hundred wasted dollars and many trial-and-error hours over the past few years trying to get a reliable driveway monitor. Problems encountered in past have included short-range/unreliable wireless transmitter function, many false alarms caused by animals, wasps, wind moving tree branches, even fast moving clouds causing rapid sun heating changes, etc. Finally, got one that works satisfactorily. This specific unit (don't know about their other models which ARE different), the DesignTech "Deluxe Driveway Monitor model 33370," is excellent. Well designed, well constructed, very simple/easy/quick installation, unique patented technology (different from all other motion sensors I've tried); and most impressive, it really does what it is advertised to do. Plenty of reliable range between the transmitter and receiver, zero false alarms, and always detects cars in the driveway. I could not be more pleased. I plan on buying a couple more to give as gifts. Some suggestions for anyone purchasing one of these: 1) If possible, install the transmitter/motion sensing unit on the side of the driveway nearest your house so that the passing car will not tend to block the path between the receiver and transmitter. 2) Don't unfairly judge the unit by testing it inside the house; nearby indoor metal (stove, conduit in walls, overhead lights, nails, steel springs in sofa, etc.) will distort the magnetic field, and result in a negative (false) impression that it is not as sensitive as it should be. Just install it per the manufacturer's instructions, and it will detect passing vehicles as advertised. 3) The outdoor sensor is waterproof, but just to be safe I put a zip-lock bag over mine. The only question still open is battery life. I'll update this report if that (or anything else) proves to be a negative in the future.

Really didn't work
We tried to get this to work for almost 6 months and finally gave up. With fresh batteries, sensetivity set to high and receiver close to transmitter it worked only about 50% of the time.

Better than nothing but...
This unit is confusing. It ignores the UPS truck. It ignores small (Tacoma) sized pickups. It always picksup my larger Tundra truck or my wife's Dodge Van. Still, it is better than nothing but it is also disappointing and NOT worth the $90 price... Cheaper technology from other vendors would also prove to be as unreliable as this one!

New Christmas present
I mounted it 6ft high and about 50 ft from the receiver, with the receiver in sight. It has only detected one vehicle in front of it in about 25 times. Sensitivity is set to high, new batteries in it. I tried pointing it right to the receiver or away, nothing helps. Its a very worthless item.

Design Tech Monitor 33370
Am real happy with the unit, but I must say it's set up under ideal conditions. The receiver is on a window sill and has a direct line of sight to the sensor which is right at 100 feet away. Our driveway is fairly wide and the sensor sometimes did not detect our smaller car, changing the unit to high sensitivity cured this. Haven't taken the time to set the receiver down on an end table so it has to detect the sensor signal through our metal sided house wall to see how that goes. As stated, the way it's performed so far is great, especially since not too long ago various monitors were way over $150. I expect it to work intermittently when the weather gets extremely cold, but that's not the units fault, alkaline batteries quit working while they're super-cold, however the sensor sounded this AM when it was 12 above. ...

Clicker did not work for me
I have an older model Sears garage door opener, and the Clicker had the same dip switches, but this Clicker opener would not work with my Sears Garage Door Opener.

Be careful
This "universal" remote does not work with Overhead Door Co. systems. Buyer beware!

Had to call technical support to make it work.
After 30 minutes of trying with no result, I called Technical Support. We re-tried everything, and then they suggested putting the switches in the opposite positions as documented. It then worked. They might spend an additional $0.02 on documentation and save everyone time. It worked flawlessly after that.

Works on both my Openers!
I have two Garage Door Openers in my house, a new Chamberlain Belt Drive we bought a few months ago, and an old LiftMaster Chain Drive that was here when the house was built. We primarily use the Garage Door with the new opener, but have had to have two remotes in each car for those times when I want to open the other garage door. What a pain! We bought this remote to solve the problem, and it did!

The remote was pretty easy to program for both openers. Now both my wife and I only have to carry this "Clicker," instead of the two different remotes on the visor. Great & simple product!

how does it work?
would be very cool and i think smart to show how it might work.

i shouldn't complain about its site. i have yet to go to one to
really know if it would work.

probably would be a good idea to set up the site by letting
about 50 "normal" people figure out how they should try and buy one. Give each a different remote.

It works for about a year
This thing worked flawlessly for about a year. In the beginning, the only thing I didn't like was the sound of the chime (had I written this review then, I would have given it 4 or 5 stars). It would be nice if you could change the chime to a more-plesant doorbell-like tone rather than a warning-like tone. However, the functionality was so good we bought another one for my mother-in-law. After about a year, ours stopped working consistently. It would miss about every third car. I tried moving it, I tried increasing the sensitivity jumper, I replaced the batteries and nothing worked. I was convinced of some kind of "user-error" until my mother-in-law's started to become inconsistent as well. Now hers doesn't even work at all. Ours still misses quite a few cars but it does work on occation.

I'm currently looking for a replacement.

It works well enough
For the price it can't be beat. This unit works as advertised but don't expect more than about 250 foot of range. Keeping the unit on the default detection range I get about 1 year out of the batteries. Just remember to change them in the fall so the batteries are fresh going into the winter months. I had no problems keeping water out of the unit. Anyone who experiences moisture problems can probably put a piece of duct tape over the seam between the two halves. Overall, a good product for the price. P.S. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that a repeater was available to extend the range.

Driveway Monitor Does the Job!
I used these reviews to purchase a monitor for my mother and am glad that I chose to ignore the 'highly educated engineer'. This monitor meets the needs of anyone who has a driveway and needs to be alerted to incoming guests. Perhaps the guy who underrated this product needs to spend big bucks to meet his needs. Well satisifed and thanks for having this site to help me make a decision.

We had previously purchased a cheap $29.95 monitor and it goes without saying 'you get what you pay for'!

DOES NOT MEET TWO IMPORTANT SPECIFICATIONS
I've been a quality control electronic tech all my life. So I am very thorough about testing.

SPEC 1. WATERPROOF. The outdoor Sensor/Transmitter implies it is waterproof. But water got inside the unit with the first rain test. Wet battery acid vapors will eat up a circuit board and battery connections in only a few days. Although the instructions do not tell you this, a temporary solution for this is to coat the rubber gasket with silicon grease like DC-4. I said temporary because once the sun warms up the unit, the grease will ooze out and you are right back to being NOT waterproof.

SPEC 2. 1000 FOOT RANGE. This one is clever wording by DesignTech's marketing people. They state a distance "up to 1000 foot range covers most driveways" on their website. Further into their website patter they claim "up to 600 feet away". Then further in, their test results state "up to 500'". Well which is it? 1000', 600' or 500'? None of my test results ever reached 500 feet. Another reviewer here on Amazon also stated "about 300' feet, 500' was too far". Under perfect conditions, and using a surveyor's measuring tape, I consistently got 240 feet, direct line of sight, seven feet off the ground. Any distance further than 240 feet would not set off the alarm 100% of the time. Because I live on a ranch and my home is about 500 feet from my front gate, I needed something close to 400' to 500' distance.

On another website that sells DesignTech products, they advertise a $40 DesignTech Long Range antenna (including shipping) that will "approximately double the range" of the Driveway Monitor. Well that would have at least given me 480 feet. NOT SO. The best consistent range I got was 260 feet with their range doubler antenna. Funny I thought doubling 240 would give me 480 feet. By the way, their ad claims that the antenna will double the range, but the 1/2 page instructions that come with the antenna only claim to increase the range by 50%. Go figure.

I have returned the Driveway Monitor to Amazon.com with "no questions asked". I am still in the process of returning the $40.00 Long Range antenna to the "other" website and they are asking a lot of questions. They also won't pay for return shipping and may insist on a 15% restocking fee. As biased as this sounds, be prudent about purchasing products marked "Made In China". If you are really serious about security, pay the higher money to get a quality product from companies like ADT, AT&T or Wells Fargo. The $120 spent on this product is risky.

It actually works on my farm
I needed a monitor for a rural area where motion sensors would likely have many false alarms from deer and other animals. This uses a sensor to detect metal objects in motion -- cars, tractors, 4-wheelers, etc.; and it works. I have had no false alarms and the range is good - about 300' feet, 500' was too far. The monitor is beside a wide dirt road - a farm road wide enough for tractors, and with the sensor set on 'high sensitivity' it has picked up every vehicle, so far.

I didn't give it four stars, because I am still wondering how long 2 'C' batteries can power the external wireless monitor. For the price, this was an excellent value.

The lamp monitor is essential for when you are watching a loud movie, listening to music, or using power tools, or maybe 2 of the 3. You may not hear the unit's chime - but you can plug in any light or siren with a normal household plug and it will turn it on when the chime goes off. It is a really nice addition to the monitor. ... Read more

Much better than a hanging string.
What can I say other than 'it works great.' Very easy to install and setup. Simply park you car where you want it and press a button -- the park-zone will remember this location and signal you to stop whenever you pull in to that spot again. Took about 4 minutes to hang and setup. Batteries last a long time -- and in a very hot garage, too. I love it.

A "toy" that really works!
My son bought me this more-or-less as a joke, because I had a tennis ball (me) and a small doll (wife) for parking. I put it up and I LOVE IT. I am buying two more (wife and SON). I have had no problems with batteries to date and resetting is easy if you need to do it. If you have a tight fit... try this one.

TOTALLY COOL!
Purchased for my husband for Christmas. I knew he wanted, but I was skeptical (just another toy). I was wrong, sure am glad I got him two!

high battery usage
In two months the product has used 3 sets of batteries.

This device has ended a problem of the correct positioning of my wife's car in the garage. If it was pulled in too far, I couldn't swing the door open on my vehicle without hitting the mirror on her car. If the wife's car was pulled in too far, we couldn't walk around the front of it.

Now I get a good nights sleep
With 2 teenage boys who use the garage door as the main entry in the house, I now know when they get home and that the door was closed behind them. Great product, easy to install.

Disappointed
This item is not dependable. I needed a device that worked as this one is described however after numerous false readings over 2 days it became clear that this item is not effective. Save you money and manually check to see if the door is open, this item is sure to disappoint.

Quality Control Problems
Seems like a simple enough device, but the unit shipped to me simply does not work. I played with it for a half hour going thoroughly through the instruction manual, checking the battery voltages, etc, but the transmitter would never register with the receiver. Oh well, buyer beware.

never leave a garage door open by mistake again

1 star lost due to Chamberlain customer service...
My ex was a couch potato and we didn't have the money to hire people to fix things, so I learned to do more than the average woman would attempt, which is why I installed this opener myself, with the only help being when it came to lift and hold while I put the bolts in. I did run into a snag and had to call Chamberlain tech support. His diagnosis was that the mother board burnt out, and since I didn't have an Ohm meter, that I'd have to have a professional come out and look at it and that I WOULD BE THE ONE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY THE PROFESSIONAL! I was SHOCKED!! I just got the unit a few days before which turns out to be defective and Chamberlain expected ME to pay for the service! What kind of customer support is that!!? As it turned out, after I hung up with him, it was just a wire that wasn't in all the way, and the unit works Great! Love it!

Good manual for the "Do-It-Yourself". Smooth Operation.
The screw driven opener performs very well. Operation is quiet and smooth. The computer's logic and sensors ensures the opener will avoid "crushing" incidents. The lightweight rail is easy to assemble and stronger then expected. I used Locktite medium strength to ensure nuts would not vibrate off. The lack of vibration made the Locktite superfluous.

The manual was clearly written. Providing the installation steps are followed, the system is easy to install in a half a day. Please make sure your door is balanced as explained in the manual. You do need a 6 ft. "A" frame ladder. Manuals can be previewed (to see if you want to tackle this job) and additional accessories are available at Chamberlain's own web site.

Amazon's competitive pricing and inexpensive shipping made the purchase easy. ... Read more

While it worked, it was great...BUT
....But now both of my units have stopped working altogether because the connection no longer worked. It started with just an annoying little wiggle to get the thing to come on and gradually croaked. Personally, I have never had any luck with power cords that are not flexible. If the straight cords get stuck on something, off the dashboard they go. Just my 2 cents worth.

Very Handy
I decided to buy this because of the price. I've seem some of the really expensive ones they have out there, but it was out of my price range. I like what I have gotten for my money. It shows me the different bands and the strength of the signal. A problem that I have noticed with it is that sometimes it will go off when there is nothing there, usually the X band with a strength of 1 or 2. It also is hopeless if an officer hits you with laser. However, it is definately a good detector for $100.

Excellent detector for the money
....

I have been very impressed by this detector. It does what it's supposed to do and comes with no frills unlike the other more expensive detectors with voice, compass, GPS...etc

The only drawback I see from this detector (as with most detectors) is that it's pretty hopeless when it's up against Laser (Lidar) guns. When you hear the warning, it's already too late to react. It's not sensitive enough to pick up reflected/refracted laser signals from the cars ahead. And I doubt the rearward facing laser sensor is of any real use either.

And sometimes, it falses on the emergency services band (giving an ambulance-like siren tone).

But overall, it's a decent detector, and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a good radar detector without overshooting the $$$$range. ... Read more

Cheap and works perfect!!
Very good, easy to install. Easy to program. Works perfect!

It works - But only for a while
I've now purchased two of these openers and each went out after only a couple of years. When it was new, it worked well but be prepared, it will fail when you need it most. My most recent failure was when my wife went out walking and a storm came up. She was unable to get back in the house becasue "The Clicker" was dead.

I'm replacing mine today....but with another brand.

Clicker Corp (Chamberlain) Remote Garage Door Opener
Mine worked only a few days until the battery died. When I replaced the battery, the opener no longer worked, even after I reprogrammed it.

Handy
Handy. Kids and relatives can enter our home w/o giving them a key to loose. Can change the passcode anytime. When out of town, take the batteries out to prevent break-in. We don't need to use our door into the garage anymore.

It worked ok... but after 4 years we need to replace it
We've had this about 4 years. The last time the battery died, it would no longer work to open to doors. We're replacing it, but not getting another Clicker. There is no reason for it to die after so few years. ... Read more
