Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The QueenMew Anti Barking Device is a handheld ultrasonic repeller: you point it, press the button, and it emits a 15–25kHz variable-frequency tone intended to interrupt barking. It is the #5 pick in our guide to anti-bark devices, priced at £19.99, with a 5.0 rating from 41 ratings — every one of them 5-star — and a claimed range of 16.4 ft (5 m).
The reason it makes the guide is not the rating but the way its own numbers pull against each other. The bullets describe a built-in 1800mAh lithium battery that charges over USB in about five hours and runs for up to 15 hours. The specification table directly underneath says "1 12V batteries required. (included)" and answers "Yes" to Batteries Required?. A 12V cell and a USB-rechargeable 1800mAh pack are not the same thing, and the listing never reconciles them. The same table answers Item model number, Part Number, Included Components and Specific Uses with the single character "1". On range, though, this listing is one of the modest ones: 16.4 ft is an exact conversion of 5 m, and it is the shortest figure in a category where other ads quote 33 ft and 40 ft. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as it stands — we have not tested the device ourselves.

Questions people ask
How long does the battery last?
The bullets claim up to 15 hours of use from the 1800 mAh battery after a 5-hour USB charge. The specification table below them lists "1 12V batteries required. (included)", so the same listing describes two different power sources.
What is the range?
16.4 ft (5 m), given in both the title and the handheld-control bullet. Those two figures match each other, and it is the shortest range stated anywhere in our guide, where other listings quote 33 ft and 40 ft.
What do the reviews say, and how many are there?
The listing shows 5.0 from 41 ratings, all 5-star, with four written reviews. One of those reviews says the unit takes two AAA batteries, while another says its built-in battery tops up over the same USB lead as a phone — so the reviews themselves disagree about the power source.
Which dogs is it for?
The listing says it is optimised for dogs aged 6 months to 8 years. That bullet is cut off mid-sentence at "under 50 l", so the weight limit is never actually stated in full in the advert.
Is it safe for people and for the dog?
The listing states the sound is inaudible to human ears and 100% harmless to pets, with a green LED lighting while it emits and a description of it as a humane, non-contact training aid.
Why do several specification fields just say "1"?
Item model number, Part Number, Included Components and Specific Uses are each listed as "1" rather than a name or quantity. The listing gives no further detail in those fields.
