What Do We Think About GetSafe?

GetSafe has a very modern feel to its entire approach with regards to its products as well as website design. 

According to us, GetSafe has one of the most affordable and streamlined products in the market. The self-installation process is extremely easy and comprehensible. What we love about GetSafe is that all their devices mount with a peel-and-stick tape mechanism. The user does not require any technician, mounting equipment and hardware, nails, or wire to set it up which means no installation charges whatsoever. If you need further assistance, their website has self-install videos which help you follow the step by step procedure. You can request a free quote on their website for any variant of your choice. There are multiple ways of getting help via the systems - you can push the buttons, pull the system cords, or even shout your command. With voice recognition technology-enabled, help will arrive immediately. The fact that all their plans have the same, standard monitoring cost is a great feature.

Their website comes with a live chat feature that enables visitors to clarify their doubts with a customer service representative and compare plans.

As they have a month to month payment module instead of long term contracts, it’s easy to stop the service as and when required. At the same time, we think a quarterly or annual option would be convenient if added to the plans. Since they put emphasis on home alert systems instead of wearables, it’s easier to convince elders to try the medical alert system. If you do wish to opt for wearables, they provide that as well. GetSafe has a good range of up to 1,300 Ft and you get a one year warranty on all their product offerings. The emergency operators have a response time of approximately 30-60 seconds. In our opinion, GetSafe for aesthetic conscious people who dislike wearables and want to maintain the decor of their homes.
