Slightly larger than what I was looking for

This thing works but as others have mentioned it's LOUD, even on low settings it can be a bit noisy. Also, I would like it to be half the size. I'll have to see if I can fit it under the kitchen cabinet to keep the pup away from that area.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Legacy model

Noisy but they work!

I wanted to wait a bit to see if some of the world's stubborn cats would stay away from my kitchen counter. AND THEY WORK! They just sit and argue about jumping, but they don't. One of them still does, but descends as quickly as possible. Finally no more hair, no more cleaning the counter three times a day, no more food. SAVIOR! I have them at a low level. My family has more of themselves including me than cats!

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in black only

Works, but be careful

Works, but noisy. There is no tone duration adjustment. He squeaks loudly longer than necessary. There is no adjustment for the area covered by the thermal sensor. If only there was a volume control. If only you could control how long it screeches. It works and cleans the room. I'm still looking for a product that gives you more control over volume, duration, range and wall connection.

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • Boring packaging

This is the "cat meow " of deterrence.

We've spent a lot of money to find something that works. That's cool! Bought two for the dining room. The first night he left I heard a cat noise as I tried to evacuate the house. Then two days of silence and the same thing again. After 4 days of inactivity they tested it again and nothing but cat noises. They haven't left for 7 days and we got our dining room back after cleaning and steam sanitizing the carpet.

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • Not happy with everything

LOUD, INCREDIBLY LOUD, BUT SO EFFECTIVE

You're so loud it's actually a high-pitched, painful sound in your ears. It's been about 3 days and my cat doesn't even look at the stove and surrounding counters. It's amazing how fast it works. This would be great for other purposes e.g. B. to keep critters away from good plants/vegetables outside. I can't vouch for the water resistance, but under a canopy I think it would be great. can also be used in front of the patio door in the hotel room. Expensive but fully justifies the cost, veryโ€ฆ

Works great Sometimes

I bought a set of 2 and waited to review until I've used them for 3 weeks. The first week both worked great. 2 weeks one of them stopped working most of the time. My cat was able to walk past it without tripping over the sensor. I took out the battery, put it back in to reset and it seems to be working better. Week 3, another disappears for no apparent reason. This morning, very early in the morning, it started turning off constantly for no reason and didn't stop until I turned it off. Andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Volume

Alarm does NOT stop after activation

Bought these a while back when they were sold individually and worked fine. I liked them so much that I decided to buy more. I found them at Revain, they only sell in pairs. The first set of 2 units I recently bought didn't stop after the alarm went off. It had to be turned off manually. I requested a replacement (which I received today) and unfortunately they don't turn off even after activation. It's literally garbage and it's really sad because when they work right, they work well. I alsoโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • unreliable

Great if you want to seriously damage your hearing

I only gave this 2 stars (instead of 1) because it will get your pet to leave the area immediately BUT it will cause hearing damage to everyone in that range even at low settings. I would never put it on a high volume. My ears are ringing from the alarm clock and more than 5 minutes have passed. And one of the two devices won't turn off until I manually press the switch. One that eventually turns itself off, it seems like it will last forever. Seriously, a short, maybe 3 second beep at halfโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • The list will be long.

They're great for teaching cats to stay away from counters!

Well first of all I hate spending! The thought of spending $130 on an alarm to keep my cats off the counters was such a chilling thought. However, after I put my older cat to sleep, we adopted a kitten to fill the gap. Well, our other cat taught the kitten that there are tasty treats hidden in the garbage chute. (So gross) This obsession is out of control. They were at the sink 24/7. It was so stressful that I seriously hated my kittens. I was mad at them all the time and tired of seeingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and chunky
