Discover ultimate peace of mind while traveling

This gadget is something James Bond would use to sweep a hotel room for bugs. Except now, it’s your turn. It looks scary and intimidating, but it’s simple to use.

Before you even unpack your bags, because you don’t know how long you’ll be staying, sweep the room:

1. Switch the power on and increase the sensitivity to pick up devices from far away.

2. Move around the room, getting closer to things like lamps, frames, mirrors, and smoke detectors.

3. If the bug detector makes any noise or vibrations, lower the sensitivity to narrow down a more precise location.

4. If there’s no activity, your room or Airbnb is clear.

You’ll probably find nothing, but you’ll sleep better knowing for sure — especially if you plan on devouring an entire chocolate cake and don’t want anyone to know about it.

Pick up one of these hotel room scanners for $32.97 (reg. $59.99) during Cyber Week. The sale ends December 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT and no coupon is needed.
