An excellent product!
Pros:
-Colorful and easy to spot transmitters
-Transmitter signals are very loud (when the speaker isn't covered/muffled)
-Remote is a good size, easy to hold and the buttons are nice and big
-The remote stand has non-slip padding on it
-Batteries for the transmitters are provided
-Keyrings are provided for all transmitters
-Four small adhesive dots are provided for the transmitters
-Transmitters are lightweight
Cons:
-Transmitters are rounded on the top and bottom and this makes them difficult to stick to things
-Transmitters are not phone-friendly (I would not be able to easily attach a transmitter to my smartphone as the transmitters are rounded, curved, and twice the width of my phone)
-Difficult to attach the keyrings to the transmitters
-I wish there was a convenient place to put a small sticker so I could mark each color on the remote ("car keys", "truck keys", "wallet", etc.)
How It Works
You receive a lightweight package (easy to open) and slide out the contents on a see-through, plastic casing. The only thing you need to buy to for this product is two AAA batteries for the remote. Everything else is included (e.g., transmitter batteries).
Push open the battery casing on the back of the remote and insert the two AAA batteries - this is very easy and doesn't take much strength at all. I used a quarter to open the transmitter backs (this is the easiest thing in the world and I don't understand why others have had trouble with it). You only need to turn the battery compartment cover a few millimeters to the left to open it and insert the transmitter battery. When you turn the battery cover closed it will give a little click, letting you know it's closed completely. I took a close up picture to show three remotes: one's battery backing is closed; one is in the unlock position; and the last is open.
After putting in all batteries, I attached the keyrings to each transmitter. This was more difficult than I had bargained for. You need the keyring attachment if you're going to put a transmitter on a keychain, though. Although there were only four adhesive dots provided (one for each transmitter), I used two to apply one of my transmitters to a small DVD player remote. On this particular remote (which is about 2/3 the size of the Key Finder remote) the transmitter sits awkwardly. I wish the design of the transmitter were not rounded and curved for this reason.
I put one transmitter on the aforementioned DVD player remote, one in my purse, one on the car keys, and one on the truck keys. I tested all four remotes and they worked perfectly. They emit a very loud BEEP BEEP BEEP every time you press the corresponding remote color. If you use the adhesive dots to stick the transmitters to anything, make sure the transmitter is facing downward, so the speaker is facing up allowing for louder location beeps. Also, a little red light flashes. The little red light isn't very useful, I find, and I wish that the whole transmitter would light up (perhaps in a later design?). One of my pictures shows the red light flashing on the blue transmitter (the picture is slightly blurry - sorry).

Her friends call her Clyde.
She likes to go wandering
And then likes to hide.
A remote little corner,
A tortoise-sized nook
Maybe under the dresser
Or nestled with books.
The darker the better,
A good place to snooze.
All quiet and comfy
Is where she will choose.
It's all well and good
'Til it's time to come home.
You'd think I could find her,
But this time ... heck no.
Will she come when called? She's a tortoise, so ... no.
Will she make any noise? She never has. (It's the boys that tend to make noise, and then under very ... special ... circumstances.)
Will she snooze for the better part of THREE OR FOUR DAYS (or more) because it's winter and that's what she does? YES!
So, given the above, after a couple of cursory searches, did I then crawl around on my hands and knees with a flashlight at 11 PM? Yes.
Twice?? Yes.
The second time, did I break out my professional-grade knee pads because nobody over the age of twelve should be crawling around on hardwood floors, AKA, I'M TOO OLD FOR THIS CRAP?? Yes.
Did I spend a restless night dreaming of turtle-gobbling house-coyotes and turtle-sized holes in my walls where she could fall into the crawl space and get trapped and starve to death? Yeah. She owes me big for that.
The next morning, did I begin to methodically tear up my house, moving every piece of furniture that she could conceivably hide behind, looking in places that a baby mouse couldn't squeeze into, much less a 1.5-lb. tortoise? Why, YES. Yes I did, and thanks for asking.
Did I drag out the vacuum cleaner because OMG it's astonishing how much dust accumulates under there? Sigh. Yes.
Halfway through, did I enlist the assistance of a highly-amused friend? Yes. HIGHLY amused.
And did we find the errant tortoise five minutes later in the VERY NEXT CLOSET? Of COURSE we did.
The same closet that I had looked in THREE times already? At LEAST three times.
(Do I have any clue how she got in there, because I don't remember that particular door being open at any point the day before? Nope, still no idea.)
Do I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PRODUCT?? Seriously? At this point, do you have to ask? Yes. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product, especially for anyone with a small, house-roaming tortoise.
P.S. Right, the actual review. I like this particular product because it's small and light enough not to bother the tortoise, you can replace the battery, and there are four fobs in case she gets another friend or three (her current friend has exactly two hiding places, and I know them both). I also like that it's "base" oriented and not "app" oriented. Apps can get updated past the phone's OS, get deprecated, or otherwise just go away (e.g., the company gets bought and tanked by a competitor). This thing worked Day 1 and will work after the zombie apocalypse takes out the internets.
P.P.S. Kiddies, don't use anything permanent to attach - no glue, or velcro, or even super-sticky tape. Your tortoise can definitely feel it (her shell is a lot like your fingernail, and her spine is actually at the very top). I used low-adhesive masking tape, then stuck it to my sweatshirt once or twice for good measure. Worked like a champ.
P.P.P.S. Her name isn't really Clyde, but I'm claiming poetic license (I'm an Amazon reviewer, not the poet laureate).
