Works well on Bluetooth. Hit-or-miss when out of Bluetooth range.
I previously had the “sealed unit” Chipolo, so when the battery ran out, I had to buy a whole new one.This time, I decided to try the Classic version, with the replaceable battery, a few pounds more, but hopefully more cost-effective in the long run.See photos - it looks pretty much the same size/shape as the sealed version, except that there are two tiny slits - one on each side of the unit, which you use for opening it up. I’ve (carefully) opened it, looked inside, then closed it again, with no problems.It’s quite secure when closed - it’s been jangling about on my keys, in my pocket, on my belt, for 3 weeks, and it hasn’t come open.USE: It works perfectly when it’s connected to my phone by Bluetooth, which is when I’m most likely to use it - using my phone to find my keys in the house, or using my keys to find where I’ve left my phone. It’s been used more than once, has a decent audible volume, and it’s saved me a lot of hassle.If I’m out of Bluetooth range, it’s definitely a hit-or-miss thing. Sometimes it shows, sometimes it doesn’t - I suppose it depends on the strength of the network and how many other Chipolas are nearby. For example, I attached it to my friend’s dog’s collar, but once the dog was out of sight, we couldn’t track him, not until he was back in Bluetooth range.So to sum up, I like it. I’m more likely to use it in the house on Bluetooth, and it’s worked every time that way. Out of Bluetooth range, it’s not so reliable.

Good colour choices
I like these devices as they have far better colour options than competitors and are good value for money. That way I can colour code my keys as I like.Have saved me hunting for my keys on a few occasions. Plus the added benefit of finding my phone, even if on silent.Battery seems to last quite a while (hasn’t been an issue yet after months of use).My partner has the app on her phone, which is nice; as I know if my keys are are home for example, whilst I’m at work.

Too quiet to be worth it
I had high hopes after reviews. The set yup with App is east.However, keys were lost on day 2. We used the app but we could not find the keys as the ringer is so quiet (too quiet).The keys were actually only about 9 feet away, but as the ringer is so weak we couldn't hear it (nothing wrong with my hearing). I had ordered a second but have cancelled it.I found the keys by chance.Don't bother - too quiet if keys under something.

Does way more than expected! Highly recommend
Bought this product to attach to one of my daughter's medical devices. Her blood glucose scanner would go missing all the time! Chipolo has been a blessing, does more than I expected and we absolutely love it!!! Will probably be buying more and I will be recommending this to all the other Type 1 parents!!

peace of mind
easy to use, very handy and saves me lots of time. The down side is, the alarm is very low compared to my first one. Great buy, though.

Good Price
Good Price. Difficult to connect ie pressing the Chipolo to activate

This does not work - Avoid
Thought we'd get one of these for the obvious reasons. It worked for about 2 weeks but kept losing connection.Of course tried to return it but missed the return window by one day £22.00 waisted.
