My mom was thrilled with her doorstops. Anything to help parents stay safe is money well-spent.
Be aware of how all of your doors open since they won't do any good on doors that open to the outside. The 9 volt battery was a tad difficult to install but I'm not complaining. For my mom I had to write in big letters with a felt permanent marker ON and OFF so she could easily turn them off when not in use and not waste batteries or scare her by an accidental alarm. We'll be taking some of these with us on vacation. These are really great!
UPDATE: December 1, 2011 - I have bought several more of these because they are so practical and good at what they do. I've learned to pick them up by holding the sides of them lest I accidentally hit the metal plate on top and hear it's ear-breaking scream. I've taken at least one of these on overnight trips to put against the door in our hotel rooms. It makes me feel a lot safer knowing this thing will scream if someone tries to break in.
In conjunction with this alarm, we also use Master Lock 265D Door Security Bars, which act as an incredibly effective brace going from under the door knob to the floor. This prevents the door from being open inward from the outside.
These two items afford great peace of mind. And while some might think overkill, could be used even if you have an alarm system. Always better to be safe than sorry!
As you can tell by the picture that I provided it is a relatively straight forward design. It is about the same size, maybe slightly larger, than the usually door stops you would see at your school or office.
If you look at the picture of the bottom of it you will see that there is a piece of rubber on the bottom that helps to keep it from moving with the door when it opens. I have tested it several times and the rubber piece does a good job to keep it in place. However, I have had it slide across the floor one time when I was testing. Since that scared me a little bit, I now use an extra piece of tape on the bottom of it when it is in use. Works like a charm now!
The level of noise seems to be pretty darn loud. It is loud enough that when I go to test it before bed, and my wife is near it, I usually get a look of disgust from her annoyance. We can easily hear it from about 30 feet away through a bedroom door.
The battery life has been pretty amazing. We have had it for about a year and a half and we are just now having to replace the battery. (hence why I thought to write this review).
Overall: This is a great supplement to home security and very well priced! I give it 4 stars simply because of the rubber on the bottom not being sticky enough, but this is easily fixed with a small piece of tape. Otherwise I highly recommend!
I have also attached photos! Thanks.

I use it along with a security bar. Therefore, I have two independent items (the bar and the door stop) that actually block the door from opening, and the alarm feature of the door stop is an added bonus. Obviously, this only works for doors that swing into the room.
This is a very nice and inexpensive product that, if someone tried to come through the door, would at least slow them down, while simultaneously alerting me that something was wrong. Combined with a security bar, it will slow them down even more. I highly recommend getting both. I now feel much better about what I saw as a weak spot in home security. Again, this is not to suggest that it makes the door as strong as Fort Knox, and I have no illusions that a determined intruder isn't going to make it through.
However, any intruder is going to find his path to be physically more difficult, and is going to create major noise. That gives me time to react and call the police, if needed. Hopefully, there never will be an intruder, and if there is one perhaps he'll be more likely to run away once he sets the alarm off (and he WILL set it off).
In any event, I definitely sleep more soundly in part because of this inexpensive little gadget.
I should also mention that when I've tested it by putting pressure on the door stop, the alarm has worked every time. On the other hand, there have been zero false alarms, which is a problem that plagues some security products, but isn't a problem for this one at all. Highly recommended.
