I purchased two of these mats. They work very well to keep cats off the sofa (one of mine kept peeing on the cushions). However, I should warn you that the craftsmanship of this product is very poor. I have had to repair the wiring twice now. The first time the wire severed as the manufactorer pinched the wire in the control bar (in both mats!). Second time, the wire broke off from the connection, requiring that we had to sodder it back into place. This was all a bit of an ordeal, as we had to take the mats apart.
I would have returned the product but as it took 5 days to ship I couldn't be bothered. I wrote HighTech Pet an email about their poor craftsmanship, and never heard back which infuriated me.
I saw an advertisement on TheCatSite today, so thought I should put out a buyer-beware warning. If you do make the purchase, handle the mat very very gently, and never fold it up as the cheap wiring can not handle ANY strain whatsoever.
