First off, let me just say—this little gadget is a GAME-CHANGER for anyone who values security, especially when traveling. I’ve tested it in my apartment, a sketchy Airbnb, and even a hotel with questionable locks. Here’s the real deal:

The Good Stuff: The alarm is LOUD—like, ‘wake-the-dead-and-scare-off-burglars’ loud. I accidentally triggered it while testing, and my dog still hasn’t forgiven me. The metal alloy build feels sturdy; no flimsy plastic here. It genuinely stops doors from budging—I had my skeptical partner push against it, and nada. Plus, it’s lighter than my makeup bag, so tossing it in my suitcase is a no-brainer.

Real-Life MVP Moment: As someone who travels solo often (hello, female traveler anxiety!), this stopper gave me peace of mind in a dodgy motel. Hearing the alarm blare when housekeeping tried entering without knocking? Priceless. At home, I use it as extra backup for my front door—because why not?

The Quirks: Batteries aren’t USB-C (annoying but replaceable), and the wedge takes a few tries to position *just right* on uneven floors. Pro tip: Test the fit before relying on it at 2 AM in a panic.

Final Verdict: If you want affordable, portable security that actually works (and doubles as an intruder alarm clock), this is it. Flight attendants, solo travelers, and paranoid apartment dwellers—meet your new BFF.
