Customer Reviews for VEVOR Automatic Chicken Coop Door, Auto Chicken Door Opener with Timer & Light Sensor Aluminum Chicken Coops Door with Remote Control and LCD screen, 4 Modes Opening, Battery or DC Powered

This is a very nice automatic coop door. It has a very solid feel and comes with a better remote than my car. I found it very quick and easy to set up. I was able to figure out the programming without any instructions. It works as expected. I particularly like that it has a sensor and protects your chickens from getting caught in the door. It is a great peace of mind that I don’t have to rush home to make sure my chicken door is closed. We have a fox that has gotten a few of our chickens before. It’s a great piece of mind that my coop gets closed exactly when it’s supposed to despite my schedule. I also love that I don’t have to get dressed and rush outside on my days off too. It’s a great contraption! My only regret is not getting one sooner!

Works like a charm, easy install and setup. Comes with a remote control so you can open and close any time you’d like without adjusting the time. Comes with batteries as well. We’re pleased with the product and Vevor in general!

We have used it for a few weeks now. It was really easy to install and set up & seems hearty! Have used only with electrical power, and programmed to open/close at set times. These settings feel the most reliable for us but will maybe try the light sensor at some point. We used a different brand’s chicken door which lasted a year, then tried 2 different options from Amazon after that, which quickly failed, and I did not feel confident in finding anything reliable online. I was pleasantly surprised to come upon this one, as it didn’t come up in any other chicken door reviews and it’s also a reasonable price! Don’t drag your feet — it’s awesome!

Great chicken door. I have purchased more expensive doors in the past that weren't near as nice as this door

I've gone through several auto doors for our chicken coop. The first one was a roll-up garage door style and it worked for a couple months before it got bound up. It technically had a built-in \"pressure sensor\", but it was only a motor load sensor (meaning that if the motor loaded down too much it would think that the door was crushing a chicken. However, in practice that sensor prevented the door from closing because of dirt in side rails, and at the same time it wasn't sensitive enough to stop it from crushing a chicken. Anyway, I've gotten a few things from Vevor and while they aren't a \"Namebrand\", they are becoming a nambrand among the sea of offbrand companies and I've been moderately happy with their products so I decided to give this coop door a try. My main criteria for a door was that it needed to be battery powered and it needed to have an actual sensor to keep it from crushing a chicken. This door has both an IR sensor (that detects warmth) and a motion sensor. Each of the sensors has a dedicated LED indicator so that you can see when they detect something. I've been really quite impressed with how well it works to keep from closing on a chicken. It takes AA batteries but it does have a DC input plug if you have a power supply or a small solar panel to hook up to it. The structure itself is fairly lightweight and flexible and I wanted to attach it to the vinyl siding on our coop, so I put a couple of aluminum angles on the vertical rails to stiffen it up and help protect it from damage. Overall I'd give this a full 5 stars. While I've only had this for a couple of months, it's still going strong. If it starts acting up in the future, I'll plan on coming back to update this review.

In talking with my wife just before winter we decided that in the spring we were going to spring into the chicken \"business\" (for our personal use only). We have a relative that raises their own chickens for meat and eggs and they talked us into it. Then, all of a sudden, this great little automatic chicken coop door by VEVOR came available and I jumped on it. Since I'm new to this I can't really comment on it's benefits or potential drawbacks, but I did do extensive testing with it and it works exactly as described and appears to be really well made. I'm looking forward to spring and a new experience. Review for: VEVOR Automatic Chicken Coop Door, Auto Chicken Door Opener with Timer & Light Sensor Aluminum Chicken Coops Door with Remote Control and LCD Screen, 4 Modes Opening, Battery or DC Powered

Purchased two about a month ago and they both work great! They open and close on time leaving us worry free when we have to go out of town. Would purchase again!

Overall, I really like the unit, but it's absursed not to have a power off button. If you want/need to shutdown have to remove power. Seems to be built very study. Door very quit during operation. For my use remote functions well, but I can't speak to the remote distance. Would be nice to have a wifi or app mode to tell if open or closed from inside house. Price point a tad high. Installation was very easy. Hoping for longevity. I am running off batteries for now and they seem to still be holding good charge after 3 weeks of daily opening and closing. Would repurchase if I have the need.

10 years ago, I built a chicken coop with run and purchased an automatic door opener for coop to run. It worked fine but was much more expensive and didn't half the features this one has. This one has a remote. Various power sources including batteries (4 AA), plug or solar. It has a motion detector to stop it if a chicken is coming through. The instructions are simple. It screws on the side. Set the time for open and shut or leave to light. I love it.

The girls have a fully enclosed run with an attached coop that's always open. Currently in the process of building a larger outdoor run and needed an automatic door solution to let them out. This door has been well thought out with one exception that I'm not too fond of. The power connection is on the bottom of the control assembly making it completely accessible for the chickens and ducks to get to. I'll have to shield this from their curiosity. Otherwise it's a very smooth operating door with sensors for light and to detect the presence of something underneath it while closing. It'll actually stop and go back up, wait and once clear, continue on to close. I'll be using the time feature setting it to open and close since it will be mounted inside the run shading the photo resistor at all times. Overall it's a great automatic door but I do wish the power connector was on the top of the unit. Still, highly recommend getting one.
