I've tried a number of these. This is by far the best built, most reliable, easiest to set up. The alarm is lound and goes off even for small amounts of water (that connect 2 electrodes on the bottom). battery easy to install. Look cute.

Was looking for a sensor that fit the molded area on the Xtreme mats that had batteries that could be replaced. These fit the space well and I expect they will work fine. Would have been a five star review if they were just a little louder. That said, they are just about as loud as the Flood Buzz sensors I was looking to repplace.

I had an intermittent leak in my bathroom over the past couple of years, with several folks 'fixing' it only to have it come back a few months later. I bought this package of water alarms and tested each one first (first on the hand, as suggested on the package - and then on the counter, dripping some water near the base). Testing came back that all worked. I put two under the plumbing in my bathroom (after a plumber had repaired it 3 months prior - no leaks to that point - but I wasn't convinced that it wouldn't be back, as before). The next morning I took a shower - dang if I didn't hear this squealing sound; I knew that the leak was back! I was very impressed with this alarm! I put the others near the water heater and clothes washer. Now, the sound is not super loud or anything - but it is distinctive enough that if you were in a quiet room you would probably hear it, even between floors - you would know it wasn't a normal sound; so it will catch your attention. As far as I can tell it will keep sounding until you remove it from the moisture and dry the contacts - or the battery runs out. Other reviewers mentioned that getting to the battery was difficult. I tried that with all of them, and had no problem (just hold the bottom twist the top) - and I'm a senior female. They are a unique battery so you may want to have some on hand. Testing on the hand only takes a second or two so I plan to test them monthly so I can figure out how long the batteries last with no activations.The amount of damage that could have happened from that one leak alone was well worth the very reasonable cost of these little things - especially since I was just getting ready to leave the house for a few days.

Small but mighty. The water sensors are loud and this is good. The battery was included. I had these for almost a year now and I have not had to replace the battery yet. I tested them by placing them in the sink with a small amount of water and they work. If I get a leak while I’m sleeping the loud sound will wake me up. I plan to purchase more for under my sinks.

Well, there's not much of a choice in this product type. However, this one jumped to the top of my list. They are as they appear, what I'd say is heavy duty. They do what's described, and well. I wish I'd known of these years ago, - if even existed. So, I use three, two for groundwater rise that comes from water shed, so, we get wet from the ground up, not surface and not a high water level, "normally".Also, since have a water heater that needed T-stats changed, we stuck one in the overflow catch bucket to let us know of any issues, possibly prior to it's overflow. We're not sure how it may hold up to the water heater hot water, circa 110F ish but we guess it may be okay. And, if works as an early alarm, I'll guess, it will be fine.So, at this quality and price point, - good value.

I've had Watchdog water alarms in my homes for many years...and they have saved my bacon twice...and if you need a thin alarm to fit in a tight space...or you need to locate the sensor several feet away from the alarm, the Watchdog is a good choice.But, if you are looking for an alarm with a really loud and annoying signal that you can put in a bathroom sink cabinet and still hear...or if you are looking for an alarm with an attention grabbing flashing light...then without a doubt the Shackcom Basement Water Leak Detector Alarm should be at the top of the list. You make think the alarm itself is kind of cute...like a little robot, or you make think it ugly like it belongs in a plumber's box...but the volume and the flashing light really carry the day.The alarm is small...about 3" in diameter. Screw off the top (which opens easily), plop in the 9v battery and you are good to go. You can test it by moistening your finger and touching both electrodes...remove your finger and the alarm goes silent. Just a tiny bit of water on the floor and the alarm goes off...and if you want to enhance its ability to go off, just place it on a small paper towel cut to size. The towel will quickly absorb any water and voila, the alarm goes off...and did I say it is really LOUD (which is what you really want).Very highly recommended....in fact, I will buy a few more of them for other locations in the house. I've included a photo of the instructions that come with the alarm.Final note, The alarm I'm reviewing is the 9volt model. Shackcom also sells a floating alarm in a multi pack without the light...I'm not sure how well this product performs although others have said it can be difficult to screw the top off)

These are inexpensive, easy to use, and work perfectly. I was able to alert my upstairs neighbor to leak from their unit into mine before the damage became disastrous. It saved us both.

They work, they are loud, and they are reliable. I have recommended these to others and have been quite happy with them as well. For added security, these things are excellent.

This works very well and has saved my laminate flooring when the washer started to leak - the alarm went off long before there was enough water to cause any major damage.

Loud enough to hear when in different room. Alarmed when it detected mouthwash that was spilled.
