Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)So the cat and I have been "discussing" whether the laundry basket can also double as an impulse-use litter basket or not for about 6 months. No amount of screaming, ranting, bathroom time-out time, etc seemed to get through to him, but apparently it is hard to "do your business" with a 100db alarm whooping in your ear. I mounted the alarm directly over the laundry basket looking straight down at it and hung the remote on the bedroom door a ways away from it (so that I don't have to have my eardrums violated trying to turn it off).
It is very sensitive--clothes you have just worn dropped in the basket will set it off, so I'm having to remember to disarm to use the basket myself, but other than that it's great and it gives me a definite peace of mind to know that I won't be doing yet another emergency load of laundry.
Final notes:
- Operation is a bit confusing at first because the instructions are wretched. But essentially, you hit the power button on the alarm and then tap the remote button. The alarm will beep 4 times. Wait 30s more (alarm has to "warm up") and then hit the remote button again. Alarm will beep once to tell you it is now armed. Pressing again will disarm it (alarm beeps twice), and so forth.
- They don't mention it on the website, but in the manual it notes that it self re-arms. It goes off for 20s, checks if there has been any activity in the last 3s and either continues to sound or re-arms if the cat is no longer in the vicinity. So essentially, I plan to leave it on 24/7. We'll see how the 9v battery lasts--I bought a lithium one @ Batteries Plus though, so I suspect I should get fairly long life out of it. (And it's still a lot cheaper than extra cleaning products!)
