Great product. Highly recommend it.
June 29, 2023

Great personal safety device. Our employees were very appreciative about our company caring about their safety while working and on their non-working time. The strobe light was a great feature. I would have liked that the Hootie to be louder than 130db.

Not quite as advertised
April 24, 2023

Not pleased that the colors I wanted were not available, They are not as loud as the website states they are. I honestly don't believe that IF anyone heard it, they would think it was a child's toy instead of true safety device for women. However I guess it is better than nothing

The colors I wanted were not in stock, purple and white. I was unable to check out for days because the continue to shipping button would not work. Problem was resolved after I emailed for help.

Gifts
December 2, 2022

These are Christmas gifts for family and friends. Hoping they love them and that the Hootie alarm will offer each of them an added sense of security. I liked the choice of colors, the price, and the shipping was fast.

Delivery was prompt, I ordered them to be delivered to Canada so paid about seven dollars each for duty. They are Christmas gift so we haven't tried them yet.

Feel safer!
October 6, 2022

These are handy little safety devices (fortunately I've not needed to use mine yet and I hope I won't need to). I like that they aren't 'stun' devices, because we have grandchildren who are very curious, so they are a good choice for Moms and Grandmoms around young children.

Having lost some fingers years ago, I always had trouble opening my stubbies of beer. I received a KEYZMO key chain bottle opener as a Christmas gift one year, and it turned out to be the best prezie ever.

Good product, minor fiasco with ordering!
August 13, 2022
Updated review

I originally ordered and payed. Then I got duplicate shipments! I notified the company and they sent me a return label for the second, duplicate shipment. THEN they refunded my original, correct payment! So I had to notify them that they in effect never charged me and they needed to charge me for the original shipment! That required me to do the PayPal entry/authorization all over again! WAAAY to complicated for a simple, single purchase! Great product and someone apologized. The foul-up with duplicate shipping, return, refund, re-charge wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been pro-active. If I'd just ignored that they sent me twice as much product as I ordered, everything would have been fine. But I was trying to be an honest customer. All in all, a minor issue. I'd order the same thing again if I needed it.
