 Works well. March 9, 2010

Works well - I have a small 1 car garage and a long car, so it helps me park the car in the right spot. It's inexpensive. The base is quite light, but I haven't had a problem with it moving backward when I park - but then I stop when I barely it it. So, take that into account. It is MUCH better than a model by Emerson which is less expensive - that model falls over with the slightest touch.
Works as designed...but... March 8, 2010

This product works as designed but is quite flimsy in execution. The base should have some additional weight added as it is very light and easily moved. For the price it should have been manufactured of heavier and stronger materials.
NO NEED for a REAR BUMPER CHECK NOW. March 4, 2010

This is a really neat, cute gismo that works well with a few modifications. I have a large 2 car garage with only one car in it, the rest is used for lawn stuff and storage since I have no basement and little room in the attic. There was generally no problem with the side room when parked. But even than on occasion I had to move my vehicle for extra door clearance. My main problem was my SUV is fairly long, which does not leave much room in the front and rear when parked. My main concern was the back since I have a automatic garage door. But since I got this set up, there is no need to walk back to make sure the garage door is going to close without hitting my vehicle.
There where two things that had to be corrected on the Park N Place. One was where the antenna pole goes into the base. There fit was loose and the pole would lean to one side or another. I wrapped a piece of a paper hand towel around the lower part of the pole and shoved it into the hole. Just like magic the pole stood up straight and erect. " No Viagra Needed Here ".
The other problem is the base is to light and tends to move when you bump the pole a little harder than a slight nudge. I pretty much cured that by placing three round cement sprinkler head rings over the pole and resting on the base. These rings weigh about a pound and 1/2 or so each, and can be bought for a $1 or $2 at Home Depot. Of course you can use anything heavy, like bricks or a cinder block. These rings just happen to look nice and neat. ( Check out my photo under customer images on the product page )
After the adjustments that I made this thing works great. I would have given this 5 stars if it was not for these two problems. When driving into the garage I now aim my approach to the pole with the window washer squirter on the hood, for pin point accuracy. The light works with the slightest touch, and I can see it day and night. My wife thinks it's the cutest thing in the garage, and it IS if she says so. Funny; I always thought my generator was the cutest, oh well.

I read all the reviews and they were 50% pro, 50% con. True skinny on this deal is it is fantastic. No difficult setups like the laser products. This is a 5 minute put together item. Ensures the wife pulls into the garage far enough, but not too far. Great low cost, low technology product that works and brings tremendous value! Much cheaper than many of the similar procducts, much easier than trying to line up the tennis ball from the ceiling.
