Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lentek Super Bark Free [Misc.]Customer Review: Barking Greatly Reduced Summary: 4 StarsNot perfect, but reduces barking enough that I've ordered a second Super Bark Free.
Pros:
My neighbor's three dogs bark at all hours. Fortunately for me, the physical layout is ideal for the Super Bark Free. I can hit them at almost point blank range, within 10 feet or less.
When activated due to boredom barking, the dogs react visibly when the Super Bark Free activates. They often seem to suddenly remember urgent business elsewhere.
They still bark when they think they have ample reason, for instance at the mailman, who passes them separated by only inches of distance (and a chain link fence). But even then they bark less.
The dogs no longer bark at me when I am sitting in my own back yard, which previously they considered to be a very offense activity. This greatly enhances the enjoyment of my property and makes the Super Bark Free worth every penny.
I have the unit set to two barks activation, with the sound sensitivity slider set to the middle of the slider dial. Otherwise, you risk the dogs getting used to the annoying (to them) ultra sonic sound and ignoring it.
The unit feels solid and well built, and except for the cap over the controls, the plastic is thick and good quality.
Cons:
Does not stop barking 100%. In my case I'd estimate an 80 to 90% reduction.
Based on other reviews, it is not rain proof. I bring mine in when rain is forecast. I intend to build a bird house type of enclosure to protect it from rain.
Does not come with AC adapter. The packaging says to check the Koolatron.com website to buy one, but they seem to have stopped carrying the adapter for the Super Bark Free. Leaving customers with 4 "D" Cell battery operation only.
The device calls for a 6 Volt 200mA adapter. Good luck finding one that matches voltage, amperage and has the correctly sized connector. I found an approximate match with a Nokia cell phone charger at Wall-Mart, but it will require an adapter or a rewire to get the correct size connector.
Batteries are VERY hard to insert.
The cap over the controls on the top of the unit has to be turned clockwise to remove and counter clockwise to tighten. Reverse threads with no good reason are stupid, stupid, stupid.
The Super Bark Free does not detect barks. It only detects sounds. So if you set the sensitivity too high it will false alarm due to wind noise, birds, car doors closing, etc. The dogs will get used to the sound, and will not associate it with a reason not to bark.
