Makes my life less stressful :-)

Exactly what I wanted. Driving into the garage and positioning my car(s) perfectly is now very easy. Easy to assemble. At this time, when my car touches the pole, the light will be triggered. I have another one that needs the battery replaced, but it's not really necessary as I can see when the car hits the bar and moves the "I've arrived at my stop" sign. Easy to move around when you need to clean the garage. Sent to a friend, he loved it! There are other cheaper models but my original Park N…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • The list will be long.

High quality reflow design

I like the concept but it's kind of ridiculously bad design. First you need to screw two screws into the base, but the base is just plastic. The screw-in holes almost look like they weren't made for screws, and I found it extremely difficult to partially insert them. When I first pulled the tab to activate the battery, I was very pleased to see the stop sign illuminate. Then I realized that the stop sign doesn't turn off. It kept blinking until the battery died a few days later. I'm keeping it…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Surprisingly Good, Best in Garage & Shop

Some garages just aren't built big enough. I drive a Mustang and you would think it would fit in a two car garage with no problem. Well it is. I always gave it a little gas and hoped not to crash into the back of the garage. This little gadget worked for me. It is battery operated and easy to assemble. I placed it in the right place and it stood well in its base and didn't move. I just slowly move towards it and when I push it the lights flash and the bar bends and all I do is push back up…

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Electrical outlet required

Needs to be heavier but gets the job done

I bought this unit for anyone who has driven crates and cluttered garage walls with junk and I am happy to say that after 5 years it still does served its purpose. The sign is a bit flimsy and just touching it with a car bumper will drive it closer and closer to the wall, but I solved this problem by weighting it down with 2 pound dumbbells. The flashing lights also stopped working after a few weeks, but you really don't need them. If you touch the bar with the car's bumper, the stop sign will…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Great price

Don't rely on LEDs.

Batteries were DOA but I've had one of these for years and you don't really need it to light up. The rod is flexible enough that if you tap the bumper lightly, the sign will wobble and you'll know you've pulled far enough. Based on other reviews I used a weight to keep it from rolling forward and found that a terracotta flower pot placed upside down on a pole works well. Just make sure the pot is shorter than your bumper. Hopefully the weight will keep me from knocking it over when I'm lounging

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
  • Disappear

Good but could be better (didn't work in winter)

Works Good for the intended purpose of stopping the car at a certain point in the garage but I was a bit disappointed with the quality of it. The pole that the stop sign sits on could be a bit heavier as the stop sign swings into the garage with any wind. Although I checked the batteries and they are fine. But you can easily see the stop sign moving if you hit it with your car, so headlights are unnecessary in my opinion. For the price I was a bit disappointed and would have liked a little more

Pros
  • Nice design
Cons

Timely delivery and functionality, but quality problems

The product was shipped on time and got to me on time. I assembled the product and then pulled the tab that was supposed to protect the batteries. After pulling out the bulbs in the brake light, they should have somehow caught fire, but that didn't happen. I emailed the company yesterday and hope they get a response. The batteries look like watch batteries (round disks). It would be better if it used AAA batteries, which are cheaper and easier (more often) to replace. It should also be noted…

Pros
  • Quality assembly
Cons
  • Not satisfied with everything
