Customer Reviews for VEVOR Automatic Chicken Coop Door Opener (Door Included)Timer Auto Light Sensor

This is certainly a life saver for those days that you just arent home in time to lock the chickens up but want to ensure they are safe from foxes. Absolutely worth having and amazing how quickly the chickens learnt how to use it.

Excellent product. Easy to install and operate. I am getting ready to run it completely off solar power. It did kill one of my chickens, because they were sleeping in the doorway below the level of the sensor. Make sure that you lower the sensor or raise the floor of the doorway as high as possible so that your chickens can't get lower than the sensor. Aside from sensor height issues, I would recommend the product to anyone that didn't want to have to wake up early to let you chickens out. Best value for the price, and as good as the more expensive models. The last thing I might change is the door is split in the middle for no plausible reason besides saving on shipping. I would make it one piece, but I will probably replace it with a single piece of steel. ~NJ

It was easy to assemble took about 30 min. The only problem is the timer runs slower than expected. It will close at a certain time but wont open at the time we set up the timer for. Clock started to run slower than the time that was first put in. Other than that it works great.

We purchased this automatic coop door early in the year, 2020. It was pretty easy to install and setup.After several months with ZERO issues it stopped working and would not move at all or make any noise like it was trying. The support folks sent me a new circuit board to try and that did not fix the issue. They then said it would take a few weeks to get another motor/rod assembly in due to the demand. I mentioned it would be freezing here soon and "Dolly" said she would see what she could do. A week later I received the part and it worked!Now, after thinking about it I believe the chickens bumped a small block of wood into the path of the door as it closed and just blocked it a tiny bit at the bottom., over a bit of time I think this caused the motor/gear/rod to fail. Soooo, keep that in mind when you install the unit, make sure the door way stays clear with a bit of room at the bottom.We love this product and the support was great. I rarely do reviews but this one deserved it.

Item arrived quickly and well packed. Instruction were will written and easy to follow. Programming the control panel was slightly cumbersome but manageable. Once the door was installed and programmed, a test revealed that the ram is extremely quiet and closed fairly slow and safely, which didn't seem to bother the chickens at all. The safety light also worked well and as it should.

It seems very sturdy. My only complaint is that the remotes do not come with batteries so I had to run out to the store to finish installation.
