Thermacell E-ZoneGuard Radius Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller 5.5-Hr Battery

First, I want to say that I am one of those people that attracts mosquitoes like nobody's business. There could be 10 people in a room that don't even notice a mosquito, but it will go straight to me and I'll have a dozen bites while everyone else isn't even bothered... I guess it's my body chemistry or something, probably how much CO2 I breathe out? Lucky me. I have been doing yard projects and even with layers of Deepwoods off Cutter bug spray, they still come for me. I even sprayed insecticide all over the yard and used a bug zapper. It limits the number of mosquitoes, but they are still a problem in the summer. I bought this and I think it works so well if you follow the directions. You have to let it warm up for about 15 minutes to get that full radius effect, and you won't get all the protection if it is a windy day and you are upwind from it. Today, I was painting the deck for about two hours in the evening (because that was the only time I could do it to avoid rain)... dusk is the worst time for mosquitoes. I only got one bite, and that was an exception because I was squatting in the grass as I was painting the side of the deck, and the thermacell was on the other side. Still, only one after two hours… That is amazing for me. Normally, Even when I wear long sleeves and pants, they bite me through the fabric. If I wear bug spray, they still come and bite me in the spots in between or wait for the spray to wear off. This is the only thing that has worked for me. Now, I just want to take this little unit everywhere! I can't believe I went camping without this thing for so many years. I already bought another unit and plenty of refills. Very excited to no longer have to hide indoors just because of these tiny terrorist vampires. PS: There is almost no scent. I know it's advertised as scent free, and it is very close to scent free. It just has a very light burning scent which is not unpleasant. It's similar to a very small citronella candle scent.

This product works fantastic. We were outside at night and there was no wind, no light, no fire no smoke. When one was within 15 feet or so from the device there were no mosquitos. When walking 30 or 40 feet away we were getting eaten alive. Sure it's emitting chemicals - that's the point - but I'm not having to spray chemicals all over my exposed skin which I find MUCH preferable. None of us detected any odor and everyone there is buying one as it worked so well. I get a kick out of some reviews that show photos of insects next to the device as evidence it doesn't work -- but the insect pictures are NOT mosquitos. As it's a vapor being released it would probably be less effective with a breeze - but mosquitos are not so much a problem with a bit of wind -- so there is that. I put my money where my mouth is. This worked so well I bought a second to increase the coverage area when we fly our radio control planes at night. One for the pit area which we did this time -- and buying a second for the flight line which is where we were getting attacked tonight.

The Thermacell mosquito repellant is a tiny rechargeable device that uses disposable cartridges to repel mosquitos. It's supposed to work in a 15 to 20-foot zone, but outside, with or without wind, we found that the effective radius was less than 3 feet. For us, it works best when placed at seat-level., and my wife places it between our chairs that are practically touching. This unit emits a small stream of 'smoke'. The refills are expensive, and they last about 40 hours for the new series. My wife loves this, but given it's small radius of effectiveness, I'm not sure I'd buy it again, especially given the cost per hour of use (three pack of 40-hour refills are currently $38.59, which equates to $0.32 per hour).

First it worked great but then after two charges, it didn’t work any longer so giving it the benefit of the doubt it was just a defective item but when it did work, it worked pretty well

This is great for mosquitos. I have a porch, put it on the porch and let it work for 15 minutes as recommended, and I sit out there uninterrupted by any mosquitos. It states it will create a 110 feet mosquito free area. I am not sure about that, but I know that I can sit on the porch with a friend and there are no mosquitos. It will work for about 6 hours before it needs to be recharged, which I do not find long enough as it takes several hours to recharge. More like I need to just remember to charge it regularly at night. The refill is expensive, about 20 dollars but it boasts 40 hour coverage. I feel the device is pricey but worth the mosquito free experience. I am hoping once the novelty of it wears the cost will come down.

Wanted this to work so badly. I get eaten so bad by mosquitos, I cant go outside for roughly 7 months were I live during that "magic hour" for mosquitos. Ive had my yards sprayed for pests, bought citronella tiki torches put the all around the deck, big zapper in the corner of the yard, tried a dynatrap, tried every bug spray you can get (including pure deet), dryer sheets in the pockets, bracelets on my wrists and ankles, everything short of a beekeepers uniform. I've read alot of good things about this company, the main complaint being the cost of continually buying fuel and refills. So when the electric version came out I figured I'd give it a shot. It's smaller than I expected, easy to charge, easy to operate, portable, what's not to love right. Well it doesn't work, not even a little bit from what I can tell. I replaced my sliding screen door with one of those magnetic mesh screens, took about 30 mins. I took this unit outside and set it directly next to where I was working, turned it on, and left it to run for a while before I started. Withing 2 minutes of being outside, my legs were attacked, I thought maybe the slight puffs of wind I can barely feel on my cheek may be enough to blow the vapors away, so I out in on the deck directly between my legs and got back to work. Within a couple minutes I felt the familiar tickle on the leg hair and look down to see the biggest damn mosquito I've even seen in Oregon going to town on my inner calf, maybe a foot directly above this unit. So dissapointed I wanted to cry, yet another "miracle" machine that doesn't do anything. That disappointment quickly turned to anger resulting in this machine learning to fly. Save your money.

This device absolutely rocks. It repels mosquitoes in even the buggiest areas without any odor and without killing the bugs themselves. We use it on our patio and our deck, even putting it near us while working in the yard. It takes 15 minutes to set up its “bubble” but once it’s done, it gives you a peaceful, mosquito-free zone. One word of caution, be careful while moving or transporting it, as the repellent oil can leak. I keep ours in a zipper bag for safety.

Keeps the skeets away.
