Motion Activated Sprinkler Outdoor Waterproof Repellent for Yard

I've had this Yardeen sprinkler in place for a month and a half now and it's working perfectly. But of course, this is the kind of thing that many people just are not going to be able to master. If you would have trouble, say, changing an ink cartridge on a printer or resetting a tripped circuit breaker, then this is probably not for you. I would advise following the instructions carefully. Also I'd recommend using a brand new high quality hose as it will be sitting in the sun under pressure for months at a time. I'm using an RV-type pressure regulator as we have very high pressure here (90 psi). Note that the unit can be easily turned off temporarily by setting the sensitivity dial to zero. All in all, nicely designed and well constructed.

I’ve bought 4 of these to keep raccoons and stray cats away from my sunroom. They have worked without fail for many many months. It would be nice if they had a timer though, but they don’t. As they are, they are effective at what they were designed to do. The only down side to them (which would be helped if they had a timer) is that I often forget about them which results in a cold wet shock from time to time.

This item is made from cheap plastic and leaks everywhere. Even after using the plumbers tape provided, it still leaked because it’s made from cheap plastic. There is no metal on this contraption and all the connectors, and there are several, leak. I live in California and can’t afford to waste water. Now I understand why on other reviews I see broken parts. Because consumers are trying to tighten the connections down so it doesn’t leak, and then the parts break.

See below for my original review about a week after installing it. FYI in response the manufacturer reached out to me offering a full refund. I declined saying that I bought it, I own it. But thank you...****************Now a month and a half later....... I really do think its effective and worth the money. There is a trick to success which I have learned...... learn exactly where your pests enter the garden and/or where they go to steal your veggies. The device must be put in a location that easily "sees" that location. You might even have to get sprayed to learn the right place. When you are successful (it took me 4 tries) the device will do a good job. I apologize for my earlier review which was premature. I am now picking tomatoes and enjoying the show when those pests get scared and wet!!*******************What I said a week after I installed it.......I bought this to deter squirrels from picking my small patch of 10 tomatoes. The unit does not leak like some other reviews claim, it does recharge the batteries with the solar cell and it does not waste water since it times out at 5 seconds. BUT it does not "see" the squirrels and therefore does not spray them. Further, if I walk by it quickly (fast walk) it does not "see" me either. To trigger it you must be large and stay in its "view" for a more than a few seconds. I wont return it since it was my choice to try.If you are looking to deter small animals such as a squirrel walking through your garden, look elsewhere for a solution.Perhaps future upgrades of this one will work better. Or you can try one of the other more expensive products.

Was good the first year, got a little leaky towards the end of the summer but cracked over winter the sprinkler was empty and hose off detached but kept outside and became an explosive water fountain. I disabled to find the small crack in the middle.

It worked for a very short time period. It did have leaks but fixed most of the leaks with teflon tape. However now the sprinkler seems broken and appears to go off randomly. I switched the batteries out in case that was the issue but nothing changed. I’m pretty upset that I bought this thing to help fix my issue and it only worked for a week.

Good quality and works great to keep animals away!

I have been using this for a few months now, and it has worked great at keeping the deer away from my apple trees! You have to check it occasionally to make sure grass or weeds don't grow up in front of the sensor, but so far it has been very reliable!I just wish there was an off switch on the back of it, the only way to work around it, is to turn off the water, or it will spray you every time you move.
