Tools and Hardware Reviews of Reliance Controls THP207 Plug-In Power Failure Alarm with LED Flashlight
Customer Review: Works basically as advertised, but make sure you know its limitations!
Summary: 3 Stars
This device works basically as advertised; however, make sure what it does is what you really need before purchasing it.
I bought it to monitor an electrical circuit with a trip-prone GFCI safety device. One outlet on the circuit powers a chest freezer out in my garage. I plugged this unit into an indoor outlet connected to the same circuit. If the GFCI trips, cutting off the power to the freezer and creating a nightmare if the situation remains undetected, the alarm goes off inside.
In my case, this works out perfectly. When triggered, the alarm is just loud enough to attract attention.
There are two significant "catches." First, and as others have noted, the alarm is not very loud. It is about as loud as the beeps of a small alarm clock, or perhaps the more powerful alarm watches. You can hear it fine in a nearby quiet area. You can't hear it through moderately thick walls or from very far away. I can hear it OK inside my single-story house, but I couldn't hear it when I tried connecting it in the garage.
Second, while the unit is fairly unobtrusive, it does tie up an outlet without providing a pass-through socket, and it may interfere with plugging something into the adjoining socket. This could be a problem if you need the socket it occupies, or if you are trying to connect a transformer brick, GFCI plug, or similar bulky plug-in into the remaining socket of a typical outlet.
If these two issues aren't a problem, then this device will do the job just fine.
