Review on ๐Ÿ”Š Vantamo Personal Alarm for Women: Extra Loud Double Speakers with Strobe Light & Low Battery Notice - Rechargeable Safety Alarm Keychain in Deep Lavender by Jeff Perez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It would be nice if it featured a switch to allow the LED light to also act as a flachlight

I ordered this Vantamo personal alarm, in color Misty Teal, for my daughter who works at a hospital in Boston. Although the hospital is not in a โ€˜badโ€˜ area I will feel better knowing that she has this alarm. I had a concern that the loop โ€˜PINโ€™ could easily accidentally detach from the alarm body and set off the loud ear-piercing alarm sound at an inappropriate time (like in the hospital near a patient). I performed a pull test using a calibrated โ€˜fishโ€™ scale and it took 4-1/4 pounds to pull the pin out of the body so although itโ€™s not totally accident proof, it should be accident resistant.Iโ€™m not a good person to make a statement regarding the sound as I lost my high frequency hearing a long time ago. But I trust the literature that says itโ€™s about 130 dB at close range. The strobe is annoying but I donโ€™t think itโ€™s going to prevent somebody from making bodily contact. I think the alarm would best serve the purpose of getting the attention of nearby persons.The battery is charged using a six inch long (kind of short) USB-A to USB-C cable. The USB-A plugs into a standard USB 5 VDC charger and the USB-C plugs into a port on the front of the alarm that is securely covered by a flexible cover. The alarm will make three short beeps every four hours to let you know the battery needs to be recharged. There is another personal alarm currently on Ebay that is similar in function and specifications to this one. And it is selling for literally half the price of this Vantamo alarm. And that one also has a switch to turn on the LED light for use as a flashlight (nice bonus feature). And that one comes in the same varieties of color. So although I like this alarm it is overpriced. Iโ€™ll give it four stars because of its price.
