I read in reviews this product is fickle or does not work at all when mounted on stucco?

Not sure what stucco has to do with it. I mounted ours in a corner near the door (on stucco), and it works great. Much better than our old one that required me drilling a hole through the wall for an external antenna attached to the interior light switch.

I've found it to be fickle, it worked well for a while but stopped working after a few months. I don't have any stucco, but because stucco has a metal mesh inside it, that might block the wireless signal and prevent the unit from working. My advice would be to try it, and return it if it doesn't work.

Worked on my stucco house but was mounted near glass door. Some fickle reviews may be caused by interference from other motion light sensors or infrared radiation from security cameras with night vision. I had the camera interference issued. I resolved it using dip switch built into to this device to change frequencies.

I had ours installed by a professional using the screws into our cultured marble wall and have not had any problems so far. Been using it for about a month now. Not sure how it would be if you use just the tape though.

We just installed this last week. so far it is sticking to our lightly textured walls. You just have to be very slow and patient when installing it.

Maybe. It might work on drywall, but stucco, brick, or other rough surfaces might be problematic. Also, be sure to use a thick layer (4-6 coats) of spray-on polyeurethane to protect the finish.

One should work just use a good size screw and molly or if its stucco on block a tapcon.

A normal dry wall is no issue. The small bumps don't prevent it from sticking since the sticky bit is on a foam like material that can mould to small bumps and depressions. However stucco type irregular surfaces might be a difficult.My new home has normal drywall and my pictures have been up for two months now. No problems so far!Cheers ...

The surface must not be textured. I've used mine on tiles where the two contact areas don't exactly make it all the way onto tile without hitting some part of the grout and it still works. I imagine it should work on glass surfaces (although, why would you risk that) and other surface that are smooth. You can always send it back it if doesn't work.

it may work intermittently. I dont think it would be reliable. The walls will definitely cause problems at that distance.

That's what I bought it for was posters. Works well as long as the wall is not real rough and porous. I found it didn't work well with cement or stucco walls.

I have only tried Rusterizer on my concrete foundation and it did not work so I can't honestly tell you if it would work on stucco but it does seem to work on everything else.

I have not personally tried any of the bits from this set on stucco. The best bit to use on stucco (my opinion) would be any carbide tipped masonry bit. These are "stone carbide" so they should work and the tips should hold up.

If I recall, the kit comes with instructions and materials for mounting on just about any surface. If you do not have experience in drilling into masonry, please consider professional help. If water gets behind your stucco it can cause the wall to deteriorate. The hard part is getting the numbers on straight, make sure you work carefully and use the template and the right glue.

I imagine the texture will reduce its effectiveness some. Also depends on how textured the wall. The small orange peel would not be too bad, stucco would be almost useless.

sorry but my house is stucco. I have no idea about cinderblock wall reception.

I have not tried it on stucco, so I don't know how to answer your question in that regard. I have only used it to clean kitchen cabinets covered with synthetic cover, stove and oven, on tiling all over, and on bathroom pieces and wall, and it really takes grease and lime away from all surfaces. I like it VERY much, it is much better than the previous ones I have owned.

Did you try moving it around, it has to be completely square with the wall or it will slope. If this is not the problem, then perhaps yours is defective.
