Malem MO3 http://www.malem.co.uk/audio-range-maximum-performance-at-minimum-size-alarm (July 8, 2013)
Malem’s web site for its MO3 alarm is rather like its other alarm descriptions – concise, without significant exaggerations, and not particularly informative. The entire description is in seven sentences. Much of the page is dedicated to colors, sounds, options, and prices. We do not object to the contents of the page, but would have liked to see it more complete and answering obvious questions that arise when reading it.
“…have a choice of safety pin and a reliable clip.” We could not find any information about this clip, and wonder about its design, how and where it can be used, and its effectiveness.
Batteries are provided, but what is their “size” or model number, and consequently cost? If they are small and expensive, this can significantly raise the cost of using the alarm. Looking at http://www.urinealarms.com/Wired_Alarm_Chart.html three A76 batteries are needed. These are “button” type batteries. We found them online at Walmart at a price approximately double that of a brand-name AAA alkaline battery. The capacity of an AAA alkaline battery is much greater than an A76, which means that the relatively frequent replacement costs of the three A76 batteries can add up significantly.
This alarm does not have a vibration mode. We found that out, not by reading Malem’s description on this page, but by noticing that they had another model (alarm) which provides a vibration.
There is no mention of a low battery indicator, or a volume control (they are not in the alarm).
Malem places a great emphasis on sound in this alarm. "Malem Enuresis Alarms have loud sounds..." (the underline emphasis is ours). Surprisingly, we could find nothing on the MO3 site about the loudness of the sound. For an alarm focusing on and emphasizing sound, not providing its loudness is deceiving.
