Helpfulness
Works well when it works. Has a poorly designed power supply that will surely fail sooner rather than later. A redesign is greatly needed.

I have owned three of the M792 repellers for about a year now. The LEDs have gone out on all three of them. Two of them are still making sound and seem to be effective, so I have kept them in service. The third one makes no sound. I discovered that the device uses a diode bridge full-wave rectifier circuit that uses four diodes. In series with one of the diodes is the two red LEDs that are in paralllel with each other. Those two LEDs both failed open, which, of course, disables the device's power supply. This design of conveniently putting the LEDs in one branch of the diode bridge rectifier circuit is an extremely poor design that greatly reduces the reliabilty of the device. In theory it works but it will never last long.

Had this for 2 months and it quit working. After the first month i noticed the red LED went out
but it was still producing sound. A month later, it quit altogether. I have 2 cheap Truevalue hardware

You have to give it time to work.
Even when you put poison or traps down it takes time to get rid of them. There are no immediate problem stoppers when it comes to mice. The 1 star reviews mostly complain because it doesn’t work right away. It’s does make a noise similar to that of an old light or ceiling fan but it’s quiet enough that it doesn’t really bother you

ZERO STARS, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, IT DOESNT WORK. Put 1 in my garage and had it running for a month. 1 found a mouse living in a car cover that I had taken off the car for a weekend. Set up a spring trap and killed 2 while this thing was still plugged in.

We are sorry to hear about this John! For best results, we recommend using traps to remove any rodents that may already be in the area, and the PestChaser to help prevent others from moving in. Please feel free to contact us directly for additional assistance! - Susan
ZERO STARS!

ZERO STARS! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT, IT DOESN'T WORK!. I put one in my garage on the floor and had it operating for several weeks. I bought a classic car and didnt want mice chewing wires and living in it. When I went to put the car cover back on the car after two weeks of being off, a mouse had chewed thru it in several places and made a nest. Went back to old school spring trap and killed 2 so far.

We are sorry that you didn't see better results John! For best results, we recommend placing the unit in open, unobstructed areas. The sound waves are not able to pass through objects, so this type of placement will work best.
Please give us a call directly with any additional questions. - Susan

Have a parrot and had a lot of mice activity. I bought this product and at first it appears nothing was happening. It took about 4 months then I realized there was no activity. I have this product just over year now. House is furnished and it still works. Recommended it to a friend and she has similar result. Took about 3 months for the activity to stop. Very happy.
