Amazon.com Review
Park-Zone is an innovative precision-parking device for the home that's easy to use and even easier to install. After a simple one-time setup, the Park-Zone uses its ultrasonic sensing mechanism to measure the distance from your car to the garage wall as you park. When you pull into the garage, you see the green light illuminate, then midway it changes to yellow, and when the light turns red you're right where you want to be. In our book, this beats a tennis ball hanging on a string because it's a lot easier to set up, it's much more precise, and, unlike the tennis ball, it looks good in a garage. Anyone who parks in a small or crowded garage will appreciate the accuracy this gadget offers. The Park-Zone operates on AC power or on batteries that last an entire year. Stop bumping the back wall and get into the Park-Zone. --Brian Trinen

 It Does Exactly What It's Supposed to Do... February 4, 2002

I was skeptical when I first purchased this item because I didn't have any confidence in it's ability to accurately gauge the distance of a bumper to the bumpee (a.k.a. the wall). But, after installing it my confidence was immediately buoyed by the unerring accuracy with which it issues its green-yellow-red sequence.
The setup and installation took about 10 minutes. Anyone can install this thing! The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the provided templates make sure your installation goes easier. The ONLY complaint I have about this device is the number of wires it leaves exposed. Depending on the distance from an AC outlet, it can be aesthetically unpleasant. There's a wire from the signal light down to the sensor (the wire that's shown in the photo), and then another from the signal light to the AC outlet. Overall, though, I love the device. And... it works with multiple cars and doesn't seem very sensitive to bumper height. 5 Stars!
Very Useful Device For Safe Garage Parking November 22, 2001

I ordered this item, it was delivered very promptly by Amazom.com. It was easy to install, but took longer than 90 seconds, as indicated by the manufacturer. Park-Zone can be installed in any garage, and simply guides you to the exact distance from the wall that you determine. It operates on 4-AA batteries (which are said to power the unit for a year) or the AC adapter included. As you drive into the garage, a green, amber, and red light guides you to the right spot. I'll be ordering 2 more for our other cars !!
 Do not buy two of these!!! January 14, 2004

I purchased one of the parkzone in March 2003. It worked fine. I was so impressed that I ordered another for the other side of my garage. It too worked for a period of a month, then started acting up. I reset it changed battery to no avail.I then called
Measurement Specialties to find out what was wrong and was inform that you can't used two in the same garage. I informed them it had worked for a month. They said that some when tested did for awhile. So I'm stuck with it. No refund by Amazon.com because of the 30 day policy on returns and no refund from Measurement Specialties.For this reason I gave it a one!!!
Very accurate for tight garages; a must have! May 24, 2002

I've used the Park Zone for two years (I bought them when they were much more expensive) and love it. My car barely fits into my garage, so this is a great device. Contrary to some other reviews here, I've found it to be pinpoint accurate day-in and day-out. Even though I have the AC adapter, I've never used it. Mine is still running on the original batteries I installed two years ago. It's easy to set up and dead accurate (and just plain cool). It's a must for every garage.
Great Product ! February 5, 2002

The product works great. Suggest buying the model with the AC plug in, well worth the extra dollars. Manufacture suggests a 90 second installation. What world are they living in? It took me 90 seconds to pull the car into position.... It took me about 1/2 hour to install and set up. Also the screws supplied with the unit are way to short. I guess they want you just to screw them into the drywall. Me, being a perfectionist installed longer screws into the studs or wall plugs. Beside the screws and the fictitous installation time, the product works very well.
