Tools and Hardware Reviews of GE 50487 Ultrasonic Sensor Parking Alert
Customer Review: It will save your bumper!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this b/c I recently purchased a really expensive car and didn't want to keep guessing the correct position or bear the guilt of putting dings in the bumper if I guessed incorrectly. So far so good...It works perfectly. I ordered this versus the laser devices since I need to back in, so there would be no way to position a laser to hit the dash with the garage door overhead. I positioned the LED light unit on the back wall at a height that allows me to see it in the rearview mirror. I pull in slowly, it flashes green at 5' than yellow at around 4' and finally red at 3', and I'm done parking. Perfect alignment each time. The sensor is positioned a foot lower, so it allows forward or reverse parking. With the GE name, I expect this thing to last a while.Customer Review: Lasted 19 months, then it died.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this item on 1/3/09. As of 8/15/10, it no longer works. Fresh batteries did not do the trick; the device is dead. :(
Sad. Everything we buy is made in China. But, we hold China manufacturing to such low standards. And, American corporations don't want to take any responsibility, either. They won't stand behind their products.
There's no reason a device like this should die so quickly. It should last 5, maybe 10 years. How can it break down? There is no moving parts.
Sad. Junk. Don't buy it. :(
Customer Review: Never Worked
Summary: 1 Stars
I just spent the last two hours trying to get this product to work with no success. I installed it per the manufacturer's instructions and it will not recognize my vehicle no matter how I configure the transmitter. I've tried every conceivable trick and can not get the LED to light up at all. The batteries are fresh and have been tested with a voltmeter and are installed correctly. It simply does not work and will be returned for a refund.Customer Review: No good

I tried two of these and both do not work. The concept is great, but just would not work properly. I set it up to register At three feet. Not sure if it would work better at a shorter distance.Customer Review: No more door dings!
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this product after buying a new vehicle. Our car was larger than the last one and when the kids quickly opened the door it often hit the stone beam of our car port. This product has helped the driver move up just far enough for both doors to open without a major paint scraping. The only down side is making sure we are far enough to the left so our right doors don't hit and still leaving room for the right side to be far enough away for foot traffic. That would be a perfect world! Great product for what it is designed to do.
