It’s similar in design to the manufacturer’s Tile Mate, but this one is louder and has a wider rage, of up to 400 feet. The Tile Pro is one of the best-known products in this space. This update brings in plenty of new brands, as well as newer versions of existing entries. We added the Tile Mate to our list - a budget-friendly version of the Tile Pro, which still strikes us as being the most capable model in the category.Īnd, to accompany the Tile Pro near the top of our list, we added the Chipolo One - which is available in six colors and boasts a 120-decibel alarm. Our picks below are a mix of top-tested items and highly-rated picks from brands our Lab pros know and trust.While many of the models we selected last year remain good choices today, we did end up removing a few choices due to availability issues, namely the DinoFire Locator, Click ‘n Dig E4 and Magicfly RF Remote. Our Lab pros have logged dozens of hours with these trackers, considering hundreds of data points that factor in things like how far the range is (how far can your phone be separated from the key finder before the app loses connection), the loudness of the alerts using a decibel reader, ease of replacing the batteries, and how easy it is to use the apps. While there's no one-size fits all for key locators, to find the best ones, we used feedback from Lab reviews, road testing of newer products, and real user feedback. Our engineers rigorously evaluate tech products like fitness trackers and waterproof speakers to make sure we're recommending the best products for your needs. That’s where the tech experts from the Good Housekeeping Institute come in. But with so many options for key finders, it’s tough to know which is the best key finder available. If you are using an app based key finder and you are out of range, simply open the app and it will tell you the approximate last known location of your keys. The small device attaches to keys or other belongings and works using Bluetooth (just like in Bluetooth speakers) to alert you by sound. Luckily, key finding devices make it easy to find those forgotten keys. We’ve all been there at some point: Unable to remember where we left our keys as we start retracing our steps to find them.
