Pet Deluxe Auto Coop Door

[KaelaM]

Has anyone tried this Pet Deluxe automatic coop door from amazon? It's well reviewed but the $60 price tag seems suspicious.

You get what you pay for. I did look at it on Amazon.
First,,, I don't like that style of operation. I don't see it secure enough from Rocky Raccoon being able to open it. Also would not take much for things to create a total closing jam.
I have an Ador1 myself. It is considerably more cash. Am satisfied with it. Has worked for me since 2017. I do replace the battery each year. I opt for the Alkaline instead of the cheaper Zink.
It is a guillotine style, so more predator proof in my opinion.
Since I had it (2017), have not had a break-in. I do have Raccoons, and Opossum in my area.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

60 bucks is too low. Materials has to be cheap to stay on that price limit.
Also, LCD displays tend to not last long out in the weather, in general, they're the first thing to die. Direct sunlight especially is an LCD killer.
I chose a Run chicken. It was my only option in EU. I had doubts when I bought it because it was still too cheap for my liking, but I have to say, it's worth every single penny.
