Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've used 5 similar Heath-Zenith units over the last 9 years.
Too many reliability problems, but they're the only game in town and they're excellent when they work.
Buy the SL-5411 instead of this one. Why?
- Warranty: 10 year vs 2 year for the SL-5410. (You'll need it.)
- better range (70 ft vs 60 ft)
- 150 degree coverage vs 110 degree
- only a few bucks extra
Also, as of now, the SL-5411 is more likely to work with Compact Fluorescent bulbs. [SL-5411-xx-C (at Home Depot or anyplace with fresh inventory) does; older stock (SL-5411-xx-B) doesn't, according to the manual.]
There are also higher models (see below) with 10-year guarantee. Some of which work with CFL bulbs.Pro's:
- Thoughtfully designed
- Effective for security and convenience
- Way more energy efficient AND way more "alerting" than just leaving lights on
- Reasonably priced
Cons:
- Way inferior to the SL-5411. Buy that instead.
- Reliability roulette (buy local, save warranty and receipt)
- May not work with Compact Fluorescent bulbsModel Comparison:
