Customer Reviews for Bird-X Hydro Critter Blaster Animal Sprinkler Repeller Scarecrow Motion Activated Solar Powered

This has been a good solar power sprinkler to keep birds out of the pool. I got a few extra because eventually they fail, but the first one is lasting and doing great!

Easy to assemble but leaks a lot … still have raccoons

Threads got cracked after trying to readjust, useless now.

Waste of money. I got it to keep cats and opossums out of my backyard but it didn’t work. It kept spraying for no reason. I had to adjust the sensitivity very low to prevent it from spraying all the time. But then when the animals were in my yard it would only spray them if they got really close to it. It’s also very unstable; the spray is so strong that the sprinkler wobbles and ends up tilted up or leaning to the side which prevents the motion sensor from pointing where you need it to for detecting movement.

It works well, however, I have too much wind where I live for me to use it effectively. The wind sets it off.

The product worked for maybe one day, then it would not respond to any activity around it, as it was supposed to. Very dissapointed.

Perfect for those neighbors who like to let their dogs go in your yard….

Worked ok for a short time. Batteries only lasted three weeks. Would not recommend this to a friend.

I thought it was supposed to have a 180° reach instead it turns completely around wetting more than wanted. Not worth the headache.

Has not met anyone’s expectations. I returned one and will be returning the second one if good rechargeable batteries don’t stop it from killing batteries in a day. I cannot recommend this product to anyone.

It seems to be either always on or always off, no control.

Trigger is unreliable and triggers on cars at 35' but not a person at 10'. Tried taping over sensor with no change. And the trigger reacts differently when Sun is shining on it versus cloudy. Many false triggers

It works ok, just alot of plastic, which is why we choose a cheaper one than last year, which was $65 and only last one summer. Since it's seasonal, you only use it for about 4 months, it should last for years, but today's gadgets are poorly made...it is what it is...

My dog thinks it's alive. Amazing product.

100 degree weather broke both units I purchased

Works ok except the sprinkler itself is a little cheesy

Hi I bought one of these and set it up in my front yard to scare away peacocks. It worked well so I bought another one (to cover more areas), however the original one (only a few months old) simply stopped working. I tried installing new batteries but it doesn't work. There is no phone number to call to complain to anyone (of course, its from China), so I am going to try to get a refund from Home Depot. If so I will try to buy another one but definitely NOT this one. It should definitely last more than a few months. Cheap plastic product from China - what was I thinking??

Stopped working after 2 days

It was defected when I got it!!!!

THEY WORK WILL BUT ARE POORLY MADE AND FLIMSEY

Just way too many things could, have and will continue to go wrong with this item

This little sprinkler has stopped my dog from pooping in my flower beds. She does not like water and it works great!

The deer, turkeys and squirrels that invade our gardens are deterred without chemicals AND it is humorous to watch.

Sprayer doesn’t stay pointed in the direction you place it and ends up spraying the wrong areas. Doesn’t last very long. Already not working.

Broken the first day by the dog

The body with the sensor does not stay in one place.
