Fox Micron M Alarms

I've been using the Micron M's for a while now, so thought I'd do a quick review.
They're fantastic quality, and although the cheapest of all the Micron alarms, they're still great. The Micron M is 85% the size of the standard Micron range.
It has many features including:
  • 4 Magnet Roller Wheel
  • Volume Control
  • Red Latching LED
  • Slide Entry Batter Compartment
  • Output socket to operate the Micron XB1, XB4 Extension Box

One of the great things about the alarm, in my opinion, is the on/off switch. A simple button which is a lot easier than many other alarm switches. No need to turn a control or flick a switch that's in an awkward position, just simply press on or off.
Good sound quality too, with the batteries lasting a long time.

Advantages:
Good sound quality
Relatively cheap
Easy to use


Disadvantages:
No tone control!


Price: RRP £21.99 (I managed to pick mine up for £18)
Usability: 3-4/5
Reliability: 5/5
Build Quality: 4/5

Overall: 4/5
