Works great but I liked the older model better. The spray was quieter.

Went to buy a replacement can for the old version which still worked after 12 years. I discovered that they’ve done away with the old model and replacement cans so I was forced to buy the new model for $75. The new version literally does not work. The only time it goes off is if I put my hand directly on the sensor. The old version could detect movement 3 ft away. It worked perfectly and kept my cat off of furniture. My new kitten now gets into everything because this Ssscat just sits there like an expensive paperweight. Very disappointed and angry about the waste of money.

I bought this to replace my older Ssscat which stopped working. I had high hopes as this was the new and improved version. First thing I noticed out of the box, the detection "eye" is much, much, much smaller. Also, you could not change the direction of the spray (up, down, left, right). So I set it up with high hopes. Its working is like a Glade mister and therefore I feel there is a lag time on the spray. I have a door dasher that I am trying to reform so the spray needs to be immediate. If using for counters or tables, it will probably work just fine. Also, the detection "eye" does not seem to be as sensitive. I have walked in front of it and it just sits there. I have had cats pass within a foot of it, and it just sits there. Also seems that the detection, when it does, is less than 3 feet. Then there are times when it does what it is supposed to do. The old one was MUCH more sensitive and worked MUCH better. I would recommend based on why it was needed.

I got one of these a while back. It was a lot better at seeing me across the room than my tiny black cat right in front of it, but it still worked at times - and it definitely deters my cat when she does get sprayed. Good enough that I bought another, and then another. But none of these two other units ever worked very well. One of them does a very slow spray, the other hardly worked at all. And after a few months of having all of them, the first one works on extremely rare occasion, the other two hardly ever at all, though one of them sometimes gets stuck in consistent sprayer mode where it just tries to empty the canister as quickly as possible. I'd really want these to work, as they seem to be the only things that deter my cats from the counter, but they just don't.

I bought this because the other one I bought years ago worked GREAT. Broke my cat from getting counters and tables. Had to get this new one, and this one is not as expected or advertised. It seems to have no problem spraying me when I get near it, but I have on the middle of my dining table to cover all areas to get up. It does not seem to detect the kitten for some reason. I set a grocery bag about 6 inches away, and it did not work. The kitten has no problem walking in front of this product. I have double checked to make sure the batteries are fully charged and nothing. I have also made sure that the product is turned on, nothing.

Just bought the cat SSSCat . I was super excited to get it.. unfortunately it only detects humans and not cats. Has gone off maybe once or twice with the cat but every time with a person. Detect my husband and I from 5 feet away. Can’t pick up the chaos from a foot away.. Very disappointed.

Years ago, I purchased a product under the same name (different looking can, etc...same name) and I used it to keep my cat off of the kitchen counter. At that time, the spray came out with force, had a bit of cloudiness to it so it was visible, and had a very startling sound. It was perfect! This version detects motion and triggers a spray just fine, but the spray is very weak and the sound it makes isn't in anyway alarming or startling. In fact, our cat thinks it's hilarious to trigger it for fun. She rolls around in front of it for a good time. More like a cat attractant.

Save your money. I bought this and set it up - and even though I read all of the reviews, I thought it was a bunch of people who just didn't know what they were doing. I'm pretty techie and was able to set it up easily. I was sprayed several times, as was my family members and dog. My cat was able to walk right up to it in the middle of the night and pee/spray/mark without it triggering the device. I got blasted when I went to check it to see if it was working. I regret purchasing it.
