I've gotten virtually no benefit from this. The tags aren't reliable. I recently walked around my house carefully pressing all of the remote buttons, even though nothing was lost, and it located none of the tags. The batteries in the remote were new. I've found that I need to reseat the batteries in a given tag whenever it stops working - annoyingly, randomly and frequently - which ironically I don't recognize I need to do until I, ummmm, locate the tag. They do get points for customer service - one of my tags arrived DOA which Sharper Image did politely and promptly replace free of charge.
