It looks like a regular doormat, but when you push your feet down it emits a 105 decibel alarm, big enough to wake up your neighbor or run a robber. LIDL’s latest low-cost gadget, EasyMaxx pressure sensitive alarm mat, is now available for 19.99 euros. It has already created waves across Spain as a simple but effective way to stop intruders. Many families are on vacation this summer. Lidl’s Mat is cheap, portable and offers answers that you can’t miss. No installation is required. Place it in the entrance or hallway. The moment someone is not invited or stepped on it, it will sound a huge siren and encourage rethinking.
With summer robberies on the rise, and more homeowners rely on everything from smart locks to WhatsApp neighbours groups, even budget-conscious households are looking for an easy way to feel vulnerable away from home.
How Lidl’s mat works
Lidl’s alarm mat has a built-in pressure sensor that triggers a loud 105 decibel sound when someone steps on it.
- Powers three AAA batteries
- No wires, Wi-Fi, or setup.
That’s why it’s so fascinating for now for Spain, especially for holiday homeowners, who are residents who don’t want the complexity of smart technology or hidden cameras.
The biggest part of all of that is that it’s under 20 euros in the summer, and the price of a home security gadget can easily rise to 200 euros. Lidl offers no-frills solutions to ensure security is accessible to those who only need two weeks a year.
Spain summer robber spikes
Spain is generally safe, but summer changes things. Invasions tend to increase, especially in busy coastal areas, as tourists arrive and the second home remains empty.
- All over Europe, intrusions rose nearly 12% between 2021 and 2023, and Spain was not ruled out.
- In Javea, one of Spain’s summer summer towns, home robberies more than doubled in just a year, and robberies weren’t too late.
- In places like Girona, Tarragona and Alicante, locals tell the same story. Summer surges, burglars are targeting empty rentals and second homes.
That’s where Lidl’s gadgets get that keep – noisy, jarring, and enough to make the burglar think twice. It’s cheap, easy to pack and ideal for those who enjoy Spain without worrying about what’s going on at home.
This added layer of noise is everything you need to switch worries. Sometimes, security isn’t about high-tech, smart timing, or hidden buzzer, but knowing that your front door is no longer completely silent.
