My housemate keeps losing their keys, so I bought them these AirTag dupes that are better value
Bluetooth trackers have been life-changing for keeping tabs on my valuables — even for mundane items that I always seem to lose, like umbrellas — and I now can’t imagine a world without them.
<![CDATA[ <article> <p>Bluetooth trackers have been life-changing for keeping tabs on my valuables — even for mundane items that I always seem to lose, like umbrellas — and I now can’t imagine a world without them. Options such as the <a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/apple-airtag-review">Apple AirTag</a> (first and second generations) and Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 dominate the sector, but thankfully there are more affordable alternatives that work just as well.</p><p>So, when my housemate kept losing their keys, I felt compelled to reveal the benefits of owning a Bluetooth tracker. That's when I stumbled upon a deal on the <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0FRLWSGPW">Ugreen FineTrack Duo 4-pack on Amazon for 39% off</a> and immediately bought it so I could pair one of them with the newly cut house key before handing it over.</p><p>And my housemate hasn’t lost their keys since! Indeed, I’ve found the Ugreen FineTrack to be excellent value compared to Apple AirTag (which I also use), and I particularly appreciate the built-in notch that lets you directly attach it to a keyring without needing a separate split ring or any other accessory.</p><p>I was surprised to learn how loud they are as well — I can certainly vouch for Ugreen’s 80dB-100dB claim, which is louder than the AirTag’s 60dB (or 40dB inside a bag, which is barely louder than a refrigerator hum). When you’re at the other end of a house and need to find a mislaid item, that extra loudness is priceless.</p><div class="product"><a data-dimension112="e7f04066-a1e1-11f1-9c2b-abe5eb64e7a0" data-action="Deal Block" data-label="FineTrack Duo (4-pack)" data-dimension48="FineTrack Duo (4-pack)" data-dimension25="$41.32" href="https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0FRLWSGPW" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><figure class="van-image-figure " ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:500px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="mpdrRgyCLkbpEZpvvdCYYZ" name="ugreen-4-pack-finetrack-duo-for-ios-or-a-0a18094f-bb79-4cc0-a972-1c57fe0e8c13.jpg" caption="" alt="" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/mpdrRgyCLkbpEZpvvdCYYZ.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="500" height="500" attribution="" endorsement="" credit="" class=""></p></div></div></figure></a><p><strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0FRLWSGPW" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-dimension112="e7f04066-a1e1-11f1-9c2b-abe5eb64e7a0" data-action="Deal Block" data-label="FineTrack Duo (4-pack)" data-dimension48="FineTrack Duo (4-pack)" data-dimension25="$41.32">FineTrack Duo (4-pack): was $67.99 now $41.32</a></strong><br>At just over AU$10 a pop, the FineTrack Duo supports both iOS and Android, making it more versatile than the AirTags and Android-only trackers from Samsung, Google and more.

You also get a notification when the tag moves out of range, and there’s even a ‘Lost Mode’ that can be activated, whereby you supply your contact information, which someone else can view if they recover it.</p><p>The battery is rated for one year and charges via USB-C, so you won’t need a wireless magnetic charger, though the protective dust plug over the charging port isn’t attached to the FineTrack Duo and could easily be lost.</p><p>Amazon sells iOS-only and Android-only models that are slimmer, but there are bundles too, including <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/UGREEN-System-FineTrack-Android-Wallet/dp/B0GFVFNXTR" target="_blank">this one</a> with the <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/UGREEN-FineTrack-Bluetooth-Waterproof-Ultra-Slim/dp/B0FBWBDB1Q" target="_blank">card-shaped wallet finder</a> that’s also available for AU$82.12.</p> </article> ]]>
