Patriot PE10 Electric Fence Energizer, 0.30 Joule

Deer Domination over winter did a lot of damage to my plants! Now I have the Patriot PE2 and PE10 protection.....they work Great !! Bird Feeder PE2 Protection from Squirrels and Raccoons….. Weather Proof, I extra protect any electrical device like this that is exposed to direct sun, rain & snow. So after I wire it, put the unit in a Ziplock Bag.….then put in Tupper Ware container, cut to fit wiring. Any openings I tilt down for water drainage if any gets in….. My bird feeder PE2 unit has been on 24/7 for 4 years (I just replaced Ziplock Bag and Tupper Ware worn out by the sun.) Now back on line. My Patriot PE10 (with a timer) is on a porch so I leave it exposed. Deer protection PE10 now on line and plant is already coming back to life !! Shrubs were protected by PE10 over the winter, they came back to life as well...... A High Quality Product that Works !!

This punches you. I tested with my shoes on, it felt like rubbing feet across the carpet, but a consistent surge through my arm. Took my shoes off and I felt like i got punched in the chest. I literally got a chiropractic adjustment. My back popped, neck popped, shoulder popped. I feel great! My German shepherd who loves to jump the fence got a bit too close.. needless to say, I think my neighbors are safe from anymore loose dogs from my yard. Both my husky and shepherd can enjoy long playtime outside again!

This fence charger works very well. I thought it was supposed to charge a fence with 5,000 volts, but my fence tester says it charges it with over 9,000 volts. The voltage seems to fluctuate. Tonight it was 9,640. Last night the tester read 10,000. It won't test any higher than that. Animals have tried to get into my sweet corn twice over the last week, as evidenced by what they left behind outside the fence. They changed their minds. Please, please do not use this charger to keep dogs (or any pet) in the yard. You will end up with a terrified, neurotic pet. I use a three-foot copper grounding rod and a four strand fence using 17-gauge aluminum wire.

I bought this unit (based and the price point and reviews) to protect the group of 3 Pecan Trees from squirrels on my 1 acre homestead. I am pleased with my purchase (5 star rating) and I believe the unit is as advertised and is producing enough power to energize my system. The squirrels decimate my Pecan crop each year by munching on the pecans and throwing them to waste, before they even ripen!. And these squirrel aren't even all mine. Like clockwork, the squirrels arrive from the entire neighborhood to feast on my crop each year . The Patriot PE 10 is hooked to the long insulated-wire underground-run up each tree to a height of ten feet to a circle of electric-fence wire on insulators and then down and underground to the next. Time has proven that my design might not be adequate for the emboldened squirrels I am trying to keep out of the trees. After installation, I watched closely as the storm of hungry squirrels marched over and up the trunks of the trees, unscathed. Since this is a pulse unit, the squirrels climb right over the energized ring of wire without being shocked. Maybe they are being shocked, but not enough to deter them. I am going back to the drawing board to add an additional band around around each tree so the squirrels can't get by. I have decided to install a hardware-cloth-ring on insulators on each tree as well. I hope I'm not too late. I haven't gotten a single pecan to eat in the 17 years I've lived here and this is WAR! All I've been allowed to do is grow gorgeous, nutritious nuts; watch as squirrels pluck them, take one bite, and toss them down on me (laughing); and repeat. And then I'm allowed to pick up the ruined nuts by the bucket-load, and throw them away before I mow each week. I'm discouraged but not beaten. Yet.

The product failed after 2 months, but carries a 2 year warranty. When the company was contacted, they are requesting the seller (J&M Collectables) handle any warranty claims, but there is not way to contact them, as the return and product support windows have closed. The LED "Fence On" still illuminates about every second, but no shock is delivered, even with the electric fence disconnected.

This was a pretty easy product to set up. It doesn't sit really nice flat against the wall as it is so light. Also.. My main problem with it is that the post were super big/wide and my electric connectors could not go over them to tighten down. I had to strip the wire and wrap around posts instead. They should have used thin posts like most models do and this would be more user friendly. But, overall, it seems to be a decent unit. Time will tell in the elements.

Used to contain very a furry Akita and a Chow in a medium size backyard. Once they "discovered" the new fence they stayed away permanently...no more climbing over to the neighbors. Seemed to be the right power for this application. Used heavy duty cable and a good grounding rod. Don't cheat on the install to get good results.

Es el tercero que compro y todos me han salido muy buenos, funcionan muy bien. Tengo un 4to de refaccion y no lo he tenido que usar. Los tres trabajan a la orilla del mar, por lo que las condiciones son aun mas severas que en otros lugares y han funcionado bien.

Muy bueno.

Se que el producto es de marca reconocida PATRIOT. Sin embargo, NO encendió y se devuelve. Además parece usado, ya que le falta una tapa a la envoltura.
