Pros & Cons
Pros
The chickenguard is an automatic door for hen coops. It has a light sensor, timer and mix of the two. The light sensor is a useful function for complete freedom.
Very reliable, lifts my metal door with ease. The cord is of good quality. Worth every penny.
Replacement for slightly cheaper competitors. Seems virtually maintenance free. Manufacturer warranty gives extra peace of mind.
Cons
Customer services admit there is a firmware error effecting all the amazon stock. They expect customers to enter the hidden menu and re-calibrate the firmware. When this doesn't arrive i call up to discover that he's forgotten!
Highlights
Quality
I am absolutely delighted with the outcome
Im very pleased with it so far
Having to get up at dawn to let my chickens out was causing severe sleep deprivation especially with the earlier sunrises of summer
Competitiveness
It’s expensive but appears worth the money
I have another one with a different brand
