EZ-FIND! 25 Item Wireless Electronic Locator
EZ-FIND! 25 Item Wireless Electronic Locator
EZ-Find ….. A real winner!
On Monday I misplaced my car key ……. again. My wife finally located it in a most unlikely place in the basement and by then I was already thirty minutes late for an appointment. The key must have fall out of my pocket when I removed something else. Right then I decided it was time to get some kind of locator gadget that would put an end to all this foolishness.
I spent the next couple days researching the available products (see note below), and finally boiled it down to two. One was the FOFA and the other the EZ-Find. After some deliberation I ordered the EZ-Find. My decision to order it was predicated on the following:
1. The tags for the EZ-Find are much smaller than any other. That’s a big advantage if you’ve got a couple of them in your pocket.
2. Their web page provided more complete details including video instructions for programming the unit and an Acrobat Reader file of the owners manual.
3. The EZ-Find can be programmed to read out in alpha numeric characters, not just numbers. My car key is identified as, “Dons Car Key”. After all, if I can not remember where my key is how in the heck am I going to remember what number is assigned to which item. I could make up a list of numbers and their respective items, but then I’d probably misplace the list.
4. With the FOFA, each tag can call any of the other five. If I had two of them in my pocket and one accidentally set off the other in Church or at the theater it would be pretty Embarrassing. The EZ-Find, on the other hand, has an on off switch on the tag.
After having received the kit, I found the following:
1. Very quick delivery. Just a couple days.
2. Easy to program. I had installed all tags and programmed in about fifteen minutes or so.
3. The tags are light as a feather and do not take up much pocket room.
4. The system works just as good as advertised.
I strongly recommend this product for anyone having a penchant, as I do, for losing their “stuff”.
Note: Yes, I read the review by fellow who claimed to be an ear doctor and a skilled micro-surgeon did not yet possess the dexterity necessary to digitally insert a nickel-sized battery in an appropriately sized hole, could not see a back -lighted screen that is clearly visible to me and could not figure out that one button turned it on and the other two were the Up-Down keys for programming. It appears to me that he might have done better had he read the owners manual before blundering in. It was all in the manual. If nothing else, he could have watched the on-line video which explained it very clearly. Oh, and by the way, I’m a seventy four year old Retirees, I had no problems, how come a skilled micro-surgeon could not do it? Maybe he should be retired and I should take up micro-surgery.
