Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of CDN Audio Visual Freezer Alarm
Customer Review: A great alarm system for your freezer at a reasonable price.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great alarm system that is very easy to install. The only problem that I can see with this system is its rather low volume audible warning sound system. The audible warning sound "beep" is OK for inside the house but if you have a freezer in an attached garage, as my wife's mother has, you can't hear the "beeps" from inside the house so you'd never know there was a problem unless you entered the garage proper.
Still, from what I've seen, this is still the best freezer alarm on the market for the price.
Customer Review: Knock on Wood
Summary: 4 Stars
So far so good. I am in the basement alot, I have a studio/office there so we would be able to hear it down here. I hope we never have to test it. I learned the hard way that for under 20 bucks, it could have prevented a lot of head aches. Ours was about for a week before we noticed it...I had open it to get dinner out.....but we were in that room every day! to feed the cats and dogs. Had there been an alarm we could have saved hundreds of dollars worth of meat. Get it now before you fill your freezer!Customer Review: Does not do well with auto-defrost freezers
Summary: 2 Stars
Auto-defrost refrigerators/freezers cycle their temperature between 0 degrees F and above 25 degrees F. Unfortunately, this alarm doesn't accomodate the cycle resulting in false alarms. The owners manual offers a cop-out solution, "wrap the sensor in foam". OK -- so how does one calibrate the sensor and know that it is set properly? It would take a lot of trial an error, adding foam, removing foam . . . who has time for that? It needs a switch where the consumer can pick the alarm temperature.Customer Review: Not loud enough to be useful
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought 2 of these for the basement deep freezers. They work OK, but unless you are very close to these units, you will not hear the alarm, i.e., you'd have to be in the same room to be able to hear it. Much lower volume than an avarage alarm clock, which is usually even closer to you when it sounds. I'd not buy this product unless you know someone will likely be in the same room as the freezer.Customer Review: Not bad for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
This alarm has already saved us from a frozen food melt down a few times. Only draw back is that there is no setting other than off or on. You can't ajust the temperature the alarm will come on or how much time until it comes on. I had to experiment with placement of the sensor inside the freezer to avoid having the alarm go off for no reason. Once I found the right spot it works fine.
