Good but does not work well outside
By regency reader
In the past 4 months, I have lost my car keys 3x while walking the dogs at the park. My car key has a chip in it so replacing them is very expensive not to mention time-consuming. After the 2nd time losing my keys, I figured it was time to invest in a key finder. I chose this one because I liked that each finder could control all the other finders. Most products on the market have only a single remote to control multiple receivers, and knowing me, I'd probably just lose the remote.
So in fact, I bought 6 of these. One for car keys, one for cell phone, one to keep in my car (in case I lost the other remotes while out with the dogs), one to keep at home as the last resort, and 2 more for things I hadn't decided on yet.
So today I was out with the dogs again at the park and guess what, I dropped my car keys. We were at an open space, but I stayed on the paved trail the entire time. The space is not large, maybe an acre. We had only walked about the equivalent of 3 blocks when I realized I no longer had the keys in my hand.
"Boy," I thought, "I sure am glad I bought the key finder!" Well, it ended up not working as great as I was expecting.
I actually had 2 of the other remotes with me. I backtracked, pressing 1 remote and then the other the entire time. I had walked the entire trail (not that big), and still I couldn't locate my lost keys. "That's impossible," I thought. "I stayed on the paved trail the entire time, and I've walked the entire trail."
So then I did a little test. I put one of the spare remotes on the ground and then walked about 3 feet away. Then I pressed the appropriate button in the remote that I was still holding. Well crap, the remote on the ground wasn't recognizing it. It just lay there. So I started walking closer to it. At 2 feet, it recognized the signal sporadically. If I was right in front of it, then it consistently recognized the signal. A far cry from the "up to 30 ft" that the seller states on their website.
I rewalked the trail again, this time going very slowly trying to visually locate my lost keys since by now I realized the key finder was unreliable. At the same time though, I continuously pressed the appropriate button on BOTH remotes non-stop.
This story has a happy ending because lo and behold I did end up finding my keys, and it was because of the key finder. That's why I gave it 3 stars instead of 2. When I rewalked the trail again, I actually walked right over the lost keys (they were camoflauged beside a patch of green weeds right in the middle of the trail). The finder attached to the keys FINALLY recognized the signal from one of the 2 finders I had in my hand--after I had walked about 2 feet PAST it--the SECOND time.
Needless to say, I am thrilled that the finder did actually find my keys -- eventually. But I'm sorely disappointed that it missed it so often in the first place. It was really a close call. I have to think about whether to return this purchase because it really didn't work as well as I was expecting.
Note: When I got home, I tried using the finders from different rooms. They were able to recognize each other from a decent distance (definitely more than the 2 ft that seemed to be required when we were at the park). If you're using the finder within the house, I'd recommend this product for you. But if you're using it outside, like I am, I'd have second thoughts about whether the signal is strong enough to really work.
As it is, even if I keep these, I'm still going to be looking for another key finder as backup because I no longer trust this one.
UPDATE: I eventually tested this product in my backyard and it did work consistently from a good distance (around 20ft). As a commenter mentioned, I think the radio signals, or lack of, at the park might have contributed to it not working properly there. I ended up just buying a lanyard to wear the keys around my neck and have never lost my keys since.

OK!
By Asian Dude
This is a nice product! Works just as described. The only negative is the wallet locator. Its bulky thus impractical to insert onto wallets and its really wide to hang onto key chains.

Good Deal, no downsides
By jonathin
Brilliant idea, pretty small footprint [i.e. it's not very large in size ],only 1 time it didn't work - don't know why, but it's been flawless except that one time i have used it 30- 40 times since i purchased it about 2 months ago, i find i'm needing it less and less as this 3rd month goes on. Now my wife wants 3 [ i have 4- 2 pair, 1 for wallett, 1 for cellphone, 1 for keys, 1 in work vehicle ] i may also get one for my eyeglasses. THE BEAUTY AND MAJOR SELLING POINT OF THE FOFA [ FIND ONE FIND ALL ] DEVISE IS THAT ANY ONE OF THE DEVICES CAN FIND ANY ONE OF THE OTHER DEVICES. YOU DON'T HAVE TO RELY ON ONE BASE UNIT- WHICH COULD ITSELF GET MISPLACED- THEN WHAT DO YOU DO? FOR EXAMPLE SAY YOU HAVE THREE DEVICES A, B, & C. DEVICE B CAN FIND A OR C, C CAN FIND A OR B A CAN FIND B OR C... NONE OF THE OTHER DEVICES I LOOKED AT CAN DO THAT - THEY ALL HAVE ONE MASTER AND TWO TO TEN SLAVES, SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MASTER YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING. Amazon Prime got it to me much more quickly than if i'd ordered it srtraight from the retailer. Thank GOD i didn't need it, but it 's nice to know Amazon would stand behind me if i needed a replacement or had a problem. Keep up the good work.
Too bad it's not made in America.
