    Mighty Mule Wireless Driveway Alarm (FM231)

    • this thing works well
    • My wife love this thing
    • Love this thing
    • Then the next thing you know it's not working again.
    • This thing has been pretty much useless right from the beginning only works about half the time even though it is set up correct
    • I can't say enough good things about it
    • The bad thing is the sound that is put out when activated is barely audible
    • This things super sensitive.
    • THIS THING WAS NOT WORTH THE MONEYWE
    • Right now I'm dreading going out there to dig it up for the nth time and tinker with the thing yet again, hoping for more reliable results.***UPDATE: The thing is now totally dead (and it's too late to return it, only 1.5 months after purchase).
    • This thing is working very good so far
    • This thing only works when it wants to
    • This thing works great and the range i am using it at is about 100 feet.
    • One thing I don't have to worry about are false alarms since is hardly ever works
    • One point, I use 240 volts, so an option for this would be a good thing.
    • Love this thing
    • This thing is junk, ZERO stars (but I have to leave at least one).The good news
    • I love this thing.
    • You just can't hear the damn thing go off.
    • Wow, this thing really works!Easy to install (requires some minor digging)
    • This thing is not ready for distribution
    • The bad thing is that you must be with the product to troubleshoot, so I was outside for three hours
    • This thing is great
    • only thing wrong is that the cable from the sensor to the transmitter is to short
    • I've fiddled with every variable imaginable, and this thing just sort of gives alarms when it feels like it, without rhyme or reason.
    • I'm wondering if this thing is worth it.
    • This thing has been pretty much useless right from the beginning only works about half the time even though it is set up correct
    • The thing works every time when someone pulls in the drive...
    • This is just about the best thing ever
    • Checked this unit out on the workbench before installing it and it was a good thing I did
    • Only weird thing is the cable between the sensor and post uses a USB connector (but it is definitely not USB) - adding an extension requires using a USB extension cable, and waterproofing it by Running it in pvc pipe (which is not a bad idea anyway).
    • I wish Mighty Mule would have used a different 'ringtone' for low battery though instead of having the thing go off every 15 seconds which could be annoying in the middle of the night
    • I love this thing.
    • This thing has been a pain to get "tuned"
    • These things are great
    • The real bad thing when we leave the home in our own car, we have to go back into the house and reset so it can detect a visitor while we are gone
    • I can't say enough good things about this Mighty Mule, Driveway Alarm!
    • Moved the entire thing about 100 feet closer and it did not work there either
    • That's the other great thing, runs forever on just 2 basic double A batteries.
    • I recalibrated the darn thing many times and the unit would work for a few days then stop detecting reliably and eventually totally
    • With NO evidence whatsoever, the man kept blaming me for doing about a dozen different things wrong
    • i like this product very well so far,lets me know when i have a visitor coming up the driveway.
