Does not work. Junk!
Waste of money. We tried everything to make this work. I will be contacting customer service for a refund. What junk! You should not sell this to anyone ever!

Best product I’ve bought
Best purchase I’ve made! It chases the deer away and even birds from eating my strawberries. I’ve had it for about a month and just had to replace the AA batteries (x2) for the first time. My blueberries, grapes, tomatoes, snap peas, etc are are intact! I am grateful. I got the idea from a stranger growing tomatoes out in the open, and asked him how the deer stay away from his garden and he showed me his motion sensor sprinklers. Last year, the deer ate everything in my garden until I put some makeshift netting around, and even then the deer would work around it. Buy it!

ABCOSPORT WATER JET animal repeller review and hints.
Reviewing the Abcosport Water Jet Animal Repeller:I received it quickly and on time. It included everything listed in the ad. It also included a plastic hose-barb-to-male-garden-hose fitting, which I didn't need. On the plus side, everything was precision manufactured and operated as you might expect. The instructions were brief and understandable in English. On the negative side--and this isn't something that should turn you off entirely to the product for home use--the plastic parts could be a little more robust (The sprayer part is plastic, also. If I were running a commercial operation, I'm sure the sturdiness would have to be better.)I have had the jet installed for several days now. There a few things I have learned about this type of repellent, and they might be helpful to you before you can understand it entirely. It detects motion by sensing heat moving perpendicular to the sensor. Set on a very low setting, it won't detect anything more than your hand passing in front of the sensor. On higher settings it senses things you don't think about beforehand, such as the sunrise changing the heat signature and tripping the device, or warm plant leaves moving in the wind.I'll explain how I tested and set the sensitivity. I placed mine at the end of a short garden I was guarding. Initially, I had no idea how sensitive it would be to guard against rabbits and raccoons, inasmuch as I couldn't sit there 24 hours a day and wait for a critter to show up. So after a few days of fumbling around, I came upon a notion to fill a water bottle with warm water and cast it across the path using a fishing rod, and then drag it back. BINGO! That did the trick.I still have to see if it trips accidentally too often and drenches my garden. [My garden is a little different than most. I put down a soaker hose, cover it with soil, cover that with plastic, cover the plastic with cedar mulch, and plant my plants in slits. With this method I can adjust the water and food more precisely and not worry as much about over-watering, etc. I do have a regular portion of the garden with herbs, however, and they could easily become overwatered.]Time will tell, now, if this was the solution I had hoped for. Good luck with yours.

Cheaply made and servicable, but you're going to have to work
This is a cheaply made device seems to work, motion detector is crude but effective for deer for me. the sprayer is fine... the problem was it comes with a cheap plastic quick connect that isn't going to work from your hose unless you have a quick connect socket that matches up. Even if you have one, likely the provided connect is still going to leak. I bought plastic "good" ones from amazon and replaced the unit's provided connect. after a day under pressure is started to leak. Because I'm insane, I'm going to replace them with a brass socket/connector and see if it holds together.More than likely, if you're buying this you dont want the pain in the butt which is fair.

They work!
Purchased the two pack for our backyard gardens. These deterrents shot a strong stream of water which is fully adjustable. Works well at keeping the deer away from my garden buffet.

Only partially works after modifying device
First attempt, I tried with 2 different hoses but the thread to hook up the hose is not correct. As others suggested, I ended up filing down some of threads on the device so my hose would connect to it. Second attempt, water leaked out of everywhere. As others suggested, I glued and duct taped every connection and any place water could leak out of. Third attempt, no leaks but the sensor does not always pick up those pesky raccoons eating all of my bird seed. About 50% of the time they get sprayed, which is great, but in the morning the seed is all gone. Maybe another device would be able to get the other 50% and I will have bird seed left over. I would have thought that $50 bucks would have gotten me a better system.
