Nothing bad to say
For this price, who can complain. It's simple to use and quite effective. Worked great on both my wood floors and laminate wood floors with no problem - both as a door stopper and as an alarm. The alarm is piercing, which hopefully combined with the resistance from the door stop feature is enough to deter a break-in. Just don't expect your neighbor in the next house to come running it's not loud enough to draw much attention 100 feet away. Still, this is one of the best products I've ever bought and I would recommend it to anyone who cannot afford a professional or more sophisticated system.

!!! - Product pictured is not the GE 50246 - !!!
I was excited to receive this product until I opened the box. What arrived was a totally different design than what is pictured and (my main issue) just a fraction of the size. I should have been more suspicious when the link attached to the picture in the Amazon.com Product Description could "no longer be found". As a security doorstop, what arrived is just too small to actually stop someone from getting the door to open. It will definitely IMPEDE an intruder, but because of what it's lacking in size, I'm not confident that it alone will keep a door between me and them. It's just too light, too short, too narrow, and it doesn't have a versatile grip. The bad guy will be forced to work a little harder, but if the alarm fails then the doorstop won't stop them. However, the alarm does work "ear-piercingly" well and I would recommend this strictly for traveling uses due to its compactness, but I personally wanted something larger for a less-travel-minded application.
Google "GE 50246 Doorstop" to see what this product actually looks like.
If anyone knows where I can find the actual product that is pictured on this ad, please let me know ASAP so that I can return the GE 50246 and still get my money back.

Easy-to-use, inexpensive and LOUD!
What a great idea -- a doorstop alarm that requires zero installation. Just add a 9-volt battery and you have an instant burglar alarm! Perfect for apartment/condo dwellers, travelers and the mechanically disinclined. It's also great for interior doors (e.g. bedroom) for an extra layer of security, or as a supplemental night-time alarm for the main entry door and for other exterior doors, especially French and other glass doors. It would be all but impossible to open the door more than an inch without setting off the alarm.
From here -depending on your floor surface -- the grip-bottom on the door stop may prevent the door from opening further at all, or would at least require extra time and effort (with the alarm still squealing away), buying you a few more seconds to respond. The hope, as with any forced entry, is that the alarm will (a) draw ample attention to the intruder, who will hopefully flee the premises, and (b) alert you to the intruder, so that you can call 911 and take whatever defensive measures you can.
Other reviewers reported that the bottom did not grip their floors. In some cases, I suspect the culprit for this may be an incorrect placement of the battery. The terminals MUST face the small end of the battery compartment, or it will cause the base plate to bow out ever-so-slightly -- just enough to keep it from making solid contact with the floor. (It took me a few minutes of head-scratching to figure this one out.). Once I got the battery correctly installed, I tried it on 3 different wood floors, a tile floor and a linoleum floor, and it gripped like a charm. The only surface I didn't try was carpet. Before buying, I would suggest measuring the gap under your door, because this door stop would probably not work with a tiny gap of less than 1/4" or on a large gap (I'm guessing anything over 1"). My door gaps ranged from 1/2" to 3/4" and this size range was just right.
I think one review complained that it was too sensitive. We tested ours to see if it would go off with misc. household vibrations (stomping on the floor, bumping against the door) and it thankfully didn't. The only caveat I'd offer is to be sure to turn off the alarm before picking it up in the morning, as handling it will set it off in a heartbeat.
Some reviewers complained that it wasn't loud enough. We found the alarm to plenty loud for our purposes. It's reportedly 120 decibels, which is probably about right. For comparison, a smoke detector is about 85 decibels, a car horn about 110 decibels. As security goes, this is a real bargain for $9 and change.

Wonderful Black Cast Iron Frog Doorstop, New 
People on shorter trips don't even bother with guidebooks any more, whereas those on the six-month long trip will come through the door with a general guide
