Great concept, if it worked. We paid over $300 for this and in less than 6 months, the plug in failed, the battery runs out fast, and then it got an obstruction error with no obstruction present… and no way to close the door manually. If app doesn’t cooperate, you are your chickens are out of luck and they are left vulnerable to predators. Just use a regular door & save yourself the headache
Overly expensive and false advertisement. They advertise a sale which I added item to my carton the 16th, Everywhere says sale is extended to the 17th, then proceed to get the deal on the 17th to checkout and the item is no longer on sale like stated. Everything is ridiculously expensive. Will be going somewhere else going forward. Don't falsely say your sale extended and then it doesn't.
The chicken products we've purchased, both now and for years, (an eglu, a small run, feeders, and waterers) have been sleek, tough, easy to clean, durable, secure, and... perfect! The reliability alone has been worth it's weight in gold. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!
I have a lot of Omlet products and love all of them! We have both the original and current hamster cages, a large coop for our chickens, a small one for our small breed chickens, a small coop for our ducks, a rabbit hutch + plus playpen, dog bolster beds, and scratching posts. Everything has held up well for the most part. My only issues have been plastic clips on the runs breaking, the tarp ripping, and I wish the dog bed covers were easier to remove and wash. Minor issues compared to how easy the coops are to keep clean.
I love my Eglu Cube! It has protected my hens well from predators, keeps them warm in our Pennsylvania winter, is easy to clean and light enough for me to move by myself. The only negative was putting it together which took the majority of a Sunday afternoon and a bazillion little plastic clips. I’ve had it for four years and it has only needed a new clip or zip tie or two so once it’s together it’s easy to maintain.
Overall the system is okay for a very small flock but there are more bad points of the Eglu system than good.Good: Cleaning is easy; parasitic bugs are not an issue.Bad: Cleaning must be done daily to reduce moisture, especially in winter since moisture can cause frostbite for combs and wattles.Good: Pretty well insulated.Bad: No room for more than four regular sized chickens.The vent facing the run cannot be cleaned!The pen add-on is nice but once added the system can’t be moved. We tried with our tractor and skid and I thought it was going to fall apart!Pen add-on is expensive and must be cleaned regularly. The pen is truly essential because the run is too small.Just four hens can destroy the grass in a few days. I bought it so I could move the chickens around the property!The biggest downside is if sub-zero weather with ice comes, as it did last winter, you cannot keep the hens in the Cube for days!! I had to move the Cube and Run into the barn for a week and build a cardboard box pen for them because I could not put the pad heater in the Cube and close it up! That would be cruel!It’s too small and has zero light/electric outlet available.I only have four hens. I started with eight but had to give half away!! This reduces our desired egg output and I spent the money to buy and raise them to adulthood.I have the middle model.If I were to do it over, I would have an old fashioned hen house.
Love the innovative products that Omlet offers. When we found a latch on our 4-year old Omlet Cube coop was loose, I expected needing to order an entire new door. Happy to find the retrofit, 2-step latch option! Easy to install and effective. Also added a slew of clear tarps to our order in anticipation of winter coming (Midwest US). We liken the tarps to creating a greenhouse effect - helping block wind and snow, while allowing in sunshine and ease of chicken viewing.
Had my Eglu coop for almost two years now. Six chickens. I live in an extreme weather area and it has held up great. We get crazy 60-70mph winds and snow and ice that gets well below zero. Chickens were nice and toasty inside the coop and I was shocked that it stood up to the wind also. Coop stays cool in the summer also. I like that I can take the panels off and leave it open all day for extra ventilation during the warm months. Super easy to clean. You don’t have to use bedding, but I put wood chips in the tray for some extra dryness and warmth. Also love that I can shut the nesting box so my ladies don’t sleep in there and poop all night like they did with my old coop. 100% happy with this purchase and highly recommend it.
