Customer Reviews:

Excellent Product [Posted on 2008-06-12]
This product is pretty good in that it can be set to different sensitivity. It does keep all types of animals out of my garden without harm to them - which I particularly like.

The only problem I have come across is that the top of the nozzle gets loose and starts too drip water. Tightening needs to be done often to ensure there is no wasted water.

Otherwise, awesome product.

Even good on small dogs! [Posted on 2008-06-18]
My dogs love to charge the fence to bark at the neighbor's dog. We just moved in and don't want to get off on the wrong foot...so, I bought this fun little toy. Day one, immediate results! The corner where the dogs used to frequent is now protected with a barrier of water. It went off once or twice and that was enough to learn. The other good benefit out of this is it waters my grass! A definite must.

motion sprayer from china [Posted on 2008-06-28]
The product came in assembled wrong. It sprayed all the time. I had to disassemble it and change the valve spring assemble position on the electric valve piston.

This is GREAT!! [Posted on 2008-07-08]
I installed the repellant to protect my fish pond. It works wonderfully!! No raccoons have had fish dinner at my house since I installed it!!

Works fine, but has a narrow "view" [Posted on 2008-07-10]
I bought two of these just over a week ago. At the maximum sensitivity setting it will spray water to you if you walk 30+ feet away, so that is a positive. However, at maxmium sensivity one or the other will go off (every 1/2 hour or so) without any obvious trigger. I will look out at its coverage area in the morning and the ground is slightly damp (which is fine for my purposes, since I'm trying to get grass to sprout). I haven't had it long enough to know the effect on battery life. I'm also suspicious of the effect of cottonwood "fluff" in the air, falling leaves, or rain. I do know that if water from a sprinkler falls within the detection range, the motion detector will go off (at max setting).
I had just tilled and grass seeded an area about 35' by 50' and there are lots of deer which pass through my yard (I've seen 14 at one time). I should have put the motion sprinklers in place a couple days before seeding and raking, as it seems to take a day or two for the deer to start avoiding the seeded area. Because I put the sprinklers in after seeding there are a number of deep hoofprints in the ground, but I don't think there are any new ones lately.
Notice: The detection range (a fan shaped area maybe 90 degrees wide) allows deer to wander up behind or beside the sprinkler, get detected when they enter the detection zone, then bolt when the sprinkler goes off. I suspect a number of the deep hoof prints in my newly seeded area are a result of deer wandering onto the seeded area from behind the sprinkler, then digging in their hoofs when running away after they entered the detection zone. The sprinkler covers 180 degrees or more (like any pulse sprinkler), but the detection zone isn't that wide so you would have to have a number of sprinklers to overlap detection zones to keep deer from "sneaking up" behind a sprinkler.
In any case, I haven't seen any deer anywhere in my yard for the last week, when I usually see at least one a day, so they appear to be avoiding my whole yard entirely now.
Note to Havahart: Since the sprinkler is about 2 feet off the ground so it covers a big area, how about having a setting where you can just water the ground like any other sprinkler, then reset it to "detect mode" after watering.
