Title: Varmint guard in title is only a part of that system.
Review: The title "and Varmint guard" could be misleading as my unit did not have that function because the transformer is not included. It is wired for it. So it does not have a functional varmint guard. It has part of it. You must buy the transformer separately to make it work.They might be calling the wire a varmint guard but both birds and squirrels know how to get past the wire if its not powered on. Fortunately, my old failed unit had a transformer and its not a real shocker so don't expect them to fly off with feet outstretched and hair raised. Its a bit uncomfortable for them but some squirrels still try to get the seed from the spreader and they do despite the shock.Other than those clever squirrels chewing on things like the solar panel and the barrel the unit works fine. I got 2 seasons from the first one before the clock failed. Old clock type.
Is the review positive or negative?
