Short lived
I bought a 2 pack of these sprinklers. They worked well at first. One of them quit working after 2 weeks. I changed the batteries and it worked, for 1 spray cycle. Now it does nothing. The other sprinkler still works.

Keep pests away
Effective in discouraging pesky deer who eat our flowers.

Effective but leaky
The media could not be loaded. I like this motion activated sprinkler. It definitely has deterred the deer. This video shows a raccoon who got confident around the camera. If you look closely, he approaches the sprinkler, triggers it, and does a rapid u-turn. I bet this happened to the deer too but they just never came back. It’s hilarious. But it does leak a lot so I have to look for a different connector or look for one that does not leak profusely.

I was going to give this product all "1" except for one reason...
First the instruction that came with this device were worthless (I think they assumed anyone buying it would know how to assemble and use), I didn't! I discovered I needed a quick disconnect to connect to my hose since it only came with one half of a quick disconnect. After getting a couple of quick disconnect I could not make any of them to work (the water pressure would force a disconnect. I discovered I could simply attach it directly to my hose. Success! No, it leaked, badly. Took everything apart and used teflon plumber tape on every screw attachment. Success, well yes partly. All joints still leaked but now at a tolerable level. I finally got it set up to cover the area where the cats came into the yard and let it do it's thing. I placed a camera on it so I could see if it worked. Amazingly it did. After just two nights the feral cats quit coming into our yard at night. I turned off and packed away the device and it has been two weeks and no visits. Overall I would not buy this brand again. Although it ended up doing what I wanted it was way too difficult and trouble to set up.

Did not work for rabbits although I got sprayed several times
First thing that someone should know is that Abcosport doesn't seem to support these. When I was having problems with installation, (where/how to connect the hose?) I followed the Amazon links for support which took me to the Company website, which offered no support. I did put in a question through another place in Amazon and the answer wasn't helpful. (Just connect the hose...) Although I rated it as such and asked a follow up, that was it.The problem was yes, it does come with one half of a quick release already _tightly_ installed in the stake. Only one part of an item that is purchased as a two piece set. I saw reviews by people trying to buy something that fit to it without success. It took a lot of trying and the right wrench, as well as risk to the plastic part, to remove it.Then I installed it where my last old dead Contech Scarecrow (no longer sold) used to live. It sprayed at me as I was 100 feet away so I knew batteries worked, etc. But even at the highest sensitivity, it ignored the rabbits tearing up my broccoli, 10 feet away. I tipped it and pointed it right at the place the rabbits liked to work. Nothing. I think the lens opening may be too small.Last, after just a couple of days of testing, the metal stake was already corroded. I cleaned it up the best I could and it's all going back. I have one more brand to try. This will be #4. Replacing an old product that worked for me should be easier than this.
