I bought one for myself and several other friends. So far everyone loves theirs. We have tried other bulkier hooter-like things, but they were just too big to carry all the time. One friend walks her dog and was very please at being able to attach it to her belt.
I purchased 3 of these for myself and two daughters but after testing one out, was very disappointed. The sound wasn't as loud as i thought it would be and the light was probably the most disappointing of all.

Glad I purchased it for my family members, but grateful no one has needed it. I tried it out and it is loud but someone said that they could not have heard it if they had been in their house. But that person doesn't have the best of hearing anyway.
I was quite surprised at the efficacy of the delivery and quality of the product that I received. Hopefully, my loved ones and I will not need to use this personal alarm however I feel assured that we'll be ready if something terrible would transpire. Please continue to market this essential product.
They arrived quickly and work as disproved. Just wish it was even louder. It could never be to loud to protect the ladies in my family. Got them for sisters and nieces. Will be ordering more as I have more people I want to protect
I got 3 Hooties, one for myself, my husband, and my daughter - we all love them! Hoping we never need to pull that top off but it feels really good to know our Hooties are with us and ready to blast if need be!
Not pleased that the colors I wanted were not available, They are not as loud as the website states they are. I honestly don't believe that IF anyone heard it, they would think it was a child's toy instead of true safety device for women. However I guess it is better than nothing
I work in an increaseingly dangerous area and need something to make me feel a little more secure.
Great personal safety device. Our employees were very appreciative about our company caring about their safety while working and on their non-working time. The strobe light was a great feature. I would have liked that the Hootie to be louder than 130db.
Good and responsive.
Responsive to my pre-purchase questions.
Device design, that it also included a strobe light.
I was somewhat disappointed at the noise level that the Hootie achieves, i expected a higher sound or at least an ever increasing noise factor... i used it at a shopping center parking lot and hardly anyone look my way...

These are Christmas gifts for family and friends. Hoping they love them and that the Hootie alarm will offer each of them an added sense of security. I liked the choice of colors, the price, and the shipping was fast.
Reviews, ease of use, price, and colors offered.
I am happy with my hoodie. I feel a lot safer having this device on me. With pepper spray if the wind blows toward you it will hit you instead of the attacker. I would rather use the hoodie, it is safer.
These are handy little safety devices (fortunately I've not needed to use mine yet and I hope I won't need to). I like that they aren't 'stun' devices, because we have grandchildren who are very curious, so they are a good choice for Moms and Grandmoms around young children.
Hello Kristin, we appreciate the 5 star review! We are so thrilled to know your ordering experience went well and was easy. Enjoy your product!
I originally ordered and payed. Then I got duplicate shipments! I notified the company and they sent me a return label for the second, duplicate shipment. THEN they refunded my original, correct payment! So I had to notify them that they in effect never charged me and they needed to charge me for the original shipment! That required me to do the PayPal entry/authorization all over again! WAAAY to complicated for a simple, single purchase! Great product and someone apologized. The foul-up with duplicate shipping, return, refund, re-charge wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been pro-active. If I'd just ignored that they sent me twice as much product as I ordered, everything would have been fine. But I was trying to be an honest customer. All in all, a minor issue. I'd order the same thing again if I needed it.
The customer service rep I corresponded with was 100% responsive to my issues, which she did not create. So I can't complain about customer service at all. My only complaint would be why did I ever need it in the first place?? The original glitch was in your shipping department, which filled my original order twice!!
Don't know who Hootie is. I chose the product as the result of a promotional email. The product is called Keyzmo. I'm not entirely clear WHO sold it to me!
William,
Thank you for the feedback.
We clearly have some things to work on as a business. We're grateful for your help identifying a few of them. We will be giving the areas you pointed out attention.
Enjoy your product!

The booties alarm is discrete and loud. A good deterrent if you feel safe refusing. Your safety is more important than almost all possessions, however.
Delivery was prompt, I ordered them to be delivered to Canada so paid about seven dollars each for duty. They are Christmas gift so we haven't tried them yet.
Having lost some fingers years ago, I always had trouble opening my stubbies of beer. I received a KEYZMO key chain bottle opener as a Christmas gift one year, and it turned out to be the best prezie ever.
It was a gift.
Thank you for the feedback from all the way down under!
Glad we could help you enjoy a cold one a little bit easier. Cheers!
The colors I wanted were not in stock, purple and white. I was unable to check out for days because the continue to shipping button would not work. Problem was resolved after I emailed for help.
Hootie had great reviews. The price was the best I could find for the number of alarms I wanted to purchase.
I have not used the Hootie because I gave them to family members and think they are great for safety because the all the crime issues circulating around our country.
Saw it advertised and understand a college has given them out to some students.
All was great. Thx. There is no problem with my order. I ordered three and they all came in the perfect color that I ordered. I was very satisfied with my service
One for each of my three daughters for safety.
Very happy with products, ordered for myself and two adult daughters, provides extra reassurance when out and about
Very happy, it was just around tracking of parcel, great explanation and resolved
Liked the sound of product, video online was good example of it, noise, light, size,
Original shipment never arrived. Now you are charging me for a shipping upgrade for the replacement. Not nice.
I want to get my original order for which I paid nearly $100.

My friends and I feel safer and more secure now when at night we have to walk to our cars in a parking lot alone.
Not loud enough, waste of my money, stupid me I ordered 2.
