MaxxmAlarm SOS Alert Personal Alarm - 130dB Alarm - Safety & Security Emergency Device - Matte Black

I purchased 3 of these for family because of a huge influx of crime (car jackings, assault, armed robbery, home invasions - to the point the police parked a mobile command center in the middle of the community). They are loud, BUT it is only loud enough to be an attention-getter. If you point the speaker at the attacker and hold it that way within 2 or 3 feet of the attacker, it would make their head throb and ears hurt, but other than pointing it at them from close range, it's just a loud notification.I asked my wife to let me know how much she is able to hear from inside when I activated it by my car in front of the house (about 30ft away from the house), and she said she definitely heard it but only because she was listening for it, and that it most likely would not have gotten her attention normally. She said the volume is similar to a car alarm from her perspective, inside the house.Better than nothing, but not quite what I'm looking for. It technically works as advertised though.

This alarm is great! It is the perfect size; it is not so small that you can't grab it, yet is not so large to make it stand out. You can grip it pretty easily with one hand and pull it away from the clip. The clip comes out with a tug and is neither too easy to pull out or too difficult. Highly unlikely that you will pull the clip out accidentally, but it isn't difficult to pull it out when you need to. I bought this because it came with a strap to wear around your neck and I was surprised to see it also came with a Carabiner in case you wanted to clip it onto something instead. I am purchasing more for friends and family. I just bought another in the rose gold for my niece, and I like that you can choose different colors to personalize it. 130 decibels is LOUD, it not only startles someone but it also hurts! To compare, 150 decibels will repture your ear drum. It's loud enough to encourage someone not to stick around because it's painful and attention getting!

I bought this for my sister as she is starting her first semester of college. I wanted to get her one of these keychain alarms (along with pepper spray, but that's for another review), but I hated how every other one looked. Every other one has an obnoxious Easter egg look to them that looks hideous. This is a very easy- to- use product. You put it on your key chain, pull the whole thing off of the D- ring part, and then put it back when you need to. Also, the sound is very loud and audible. I am glad that I bought this for her. She is too, but I'm the one writing the review here.

I have these alarms since March of 2018. I had it in a pocketbook. We started hearing "chirping noises" in our bedroom and at first thought we had a cricket or some other living creature. We could not find where the noise was coming from. after days of trying to figure it out, I moved the pocketbook and it chirped at me.I assume the chirping means the battery is dying. It is really annoying. What is even more annoying is I spend over $22 dollars on 2 alarms that could only be functional for two years. It does say it in the questions section, but the non-replaceable battery statement should have been made clear up front.

My fault for not looking closely at this unit before purchasing, and I've purchased similar items in the past. But this one does not have an attachment loop anywhere on the main body of the device. That means you cannot secure it to two surfaces (like a zipper and a handbag and use it to trigger when pulled apart. This is not a luggage alarm. You have to manually pull it apart for it to do its job. To me, that's a blind design flaw because a simple hole or loop on the main body would make this a true full featured personal alarm.

It makes me feel safe and hopefully I don’t have to use it in the future.I tested and it’s loud. But I don’t know if that’s the right volume to get people attention especially in the morning or in the crowded places. However, easy to use and work perfectly.

This device definitely makes me feel safer. The alarm is easy to activate and packs a punch when it comes to the sound it emits! I was impressed by the quality. When I tested it out, my ear drums were pounding. There is no way anyone in the same area could not hear this thing go off. I think it might actually be louder than my car alarm lol! I purchased the black version. The black finish is very grippable, which made it easier to detach the pin for activation. The alarm comes with a lanyard and a carabiner - so you can wear it or attach it to your purse or keys.

I love this product. Works right out of the box, and last at least a year. Comes with lanyard and clip hook. Only thing is this note I sent to the seller:Truly brilliant product. One note though: I received this package with a brand sticker on the out side. Upon opening I found another brand sticker assisting the tape that held the bubble wrap together. My note is, in the future maybe send a sticker that’s still on it’s backing for promo use. I would’ve love to put that sticker on my car. But great product all in all. Thanks for reading my feedback.
