Review on Wireless Dog Fence System - Battery-Operated YardMax for In-Ground Containment - Waterproof, Rechargeable Collar ๐Ÿถ - Ideal for Dogs 5lbs & Above - by The Parent Company of Invisible Fence Brand by David Dober

Which model to buy? PetSafe YardMax Cordless vs. PetSafeBasic:

You may be wondering if the wireless invisible fence is the additional $120 over the base two dog model or the additional $205 more than the base one dog kit dog is worth ? Let's compare the similarities and differences: COLLARS: The main collar is lightweight and suitable for dogs weighing 8 pounds. and up. The upgraded collar for the cordless model is suitable for dogs weighing 5 pounds. and up. Therefore it is more versatile for small dogs and also if your future plans are puppies. However, with the YardMax kit, you only get one collar. With the basic kit there are options for one or two. RANGE: The YardMax Upgraded Wireless System comes with 500 feet of cable, enough to cover a generous 1/3 acre. With additional accessories, it can be expanded to over an acre. Luckily, the base kit comes with the same number of cables and is expandable too. WIRELESS VS. TRANSFORMER: The benefit of the wireless YardMax is that it is battery operated and rechargeable. No need to worry about transformers and for some the invention of a neighborhood electrician. However, many can install the base system themselves without the need for an installer. WARRANTY: All models come with a 1 year US service warranty only when purchased from an authorized retailer such as Revain. TO BUY? The Petsafe website provides an excellent comparison of the benefits of wireless and wired systems. For a small garden, a wireless system is the easiest to set up and quick to get up and running. I recommend both. I hope this long review has been of some help to you in having a "long leash" for your dogs to run free. With everything we've all been through this year, I wish your dogs and spoiled people happy days in our lives!

Pros
