Rating: - DO NOT BUY !
I bought one of these online , when it came back I inserted the batteries and nothing . Contacted the manufacturers by phone , they said there must be a fault with the unit . Sent it back , it was out of stock so I had a refund . Reordered with another firm , it came back , inserted batteries it worked OK . However , after a couple of weeks started making an audible noise , constantly annoying the neighbours . I think basically , they are not weatherproof . Because the unit was on constantly the batteries lasted no time at all . In short a waste of money .

Rating: - I've had a few replacement units
I originally bought this from B&Q and loaded it with batteries. It was great for a week but then started squarking. I got a replacment from B&Q but this was no better. I spoke directly to the company (STV) and they were very good, they exchanged and sent me a replacement, this was OK but I could hear it - they told me that I should definitely not be able to and have sent me yet another replacment. This time it appears to be OK but it has only been on for an hour, we'll see how it goes.
I have a feeling that it becomes audible when the batteries get low - anyone having problems should try loading new batteries.
Even though I could hear them they did appear to be effective.

Rating: - This product is brilliant !!
This product does exactly what it says on the box !!
My decking area has lots and lots of large tubs that were used by several local cats as their own personal toilet area - disgusting!!
The day I installed this product is the day the cats gave up on my decking - brilliant.
Whatever the high pitched sound is that comes from this product, the cats DO NOT like it.
The product can be heavy on batteries if you forget to turn it off when you are in the garden - as it detects any movement.
However, I found that after several weeks, I could switch it off and the cats still don't come round - they've learnt where not to go !!!

Rating: - Mega-Sonic Cat, Dog & Fox Repeller
Mega-Sonic Cat, Dog & Fox Repeller [Latest Model]- Motion activated sensorThe signal is clearly audible and antagonised the neighbours but not the local cats. Requests to the company to return product have been ignored - I assume this is because it is outside their seven day returns window so apparantly there is no guarantee with the product.

Rating: - Fails
It seemed to work for the first 5 days, but then the cat(s) must of gotten used to it - They left a couple of messages 2m & 3m in front of the repeller. Also it is oversensitive and scares away birds as small as starling. It is not in-audible to humans either.
