Let me start by start by stating that I have been a fan of Thermacell products for years. I use one hunting, and I have several for home and camping use. I was visiting my family down in South Florida this last week. With all the "social distancing" going on, we did a lot of sitting around my sister's patio to converse. The first night I was there, the mosquitoes would not leave you alone. The area had just recently been deluged by rain for a solid week, and the mosquito larvae were just starting to emerge from any standing water. Even though my sister has a screened in patio, it was full of mosquitoes as the dogs have a dog door they are constantly coming in and out of. On the second night of my visit, I purposely went to a retail store that I know carries Thermacell products and picked up the Patio Shield repeller. I set it up immediately upon arriving at my sister's house at 7 PM. We sat around until past 11 PM, and both my sisters commented on how amazing that neither of them had been bothered by mosquitoes all night long! My older sister was going out the next day to get 2 more her her house so she can enjoy her patio for the entire summer. Way to go Thermacell!

We bought this hoping, but, knowing it would not work, and, guess what it did not work. We have a cottage an hour north of the Muskoka's and we tried it there. Twice! Not even in the worst part of the mosquito season and it is a joke. Waste of money...

I can’t say enough about these products. I purchased several different styles of these repellants. We had a trip planned for the North woods of WI and wanted to be able to enjoy outside with layering my skin with chemicals. I really didn’t think they would work, boy was I proven wrong. After the first night our family dubbed the protected area as “The circle of trust”. As long as you were in the radius of the Thermacells no flying bugs of any kind. Walk away from the circle of trust, you were fair game for the war of human and mosquito. The mosquitos were out almost all day, so the circle of trust or a single unit would travel from cabin to cabin, while on a walk or fishing from the pier. I did purchase twice as many as recommended for a 40 square foot area. We had 17 in our group for that week in WI. Not one bite on anyone as long as they were near a Thermacel unit. They REALLY WORK!

I saw the patio shield advertised on sale a few months ago. I had never seen the product before, so I did some research. Despite the praising reviews, I was skeptical. Mosquitoes love me. Whenever I am outside during the summer, I inevitably get swarmed and end up with several bites that itch for days. But despite my skepticism, I decided to try the product since it was on sale. Using it for the first few times, I thought maybe we weren't having as many mosquitoes this season since we weren't getting "bugged". But then we took it to a party across from a park. Not a single mosquito bothered us the entire humid evening (until the propane ran out...oops!), then we noticed the mosquitoes immediately. I have yet to receive a bite while using this product. It definitely works and I have recommended it to anyone who will listen.

This product works very well in repelling mosquitoes as do all the thermacell products I've tried. There are some significant improvements to this model. * This ignition system is more robust and appears to get hotter, quicker than previous model. This is really important because until the mat heats up your're being eaten by mosquitoes. * No batteries. Excellent. Previous halo requires several AA batteries. * Lightweight and a bit smaller than previous version. * Viewer window to make sure burner is lit is better positioned to give a clearer view. * Good use of space with mat storage underneath. Now unlike the previous halo version this product only holds 1 butane cartridge as opposed to 4 like the previous version. Personally I like the fact this model only uses 1 cartridge at a time. The single cartridge at a time will prevent you from wasting butane if you forget to turn it off. Also you wont waste time checking the butane levels constantly as I currently do on the previous version. Overall this is an excellent product that will get used almost daily, year round, in my mosquito ridden hometown of Miami, Florida.

I live in new Mexico and we have mosquitos especially in the mountains and by the water. This helps to keep them away from us and our campsite and well as our backyard. Very easy to use. Really like that it works 15ft around the device so we can set it on the table.

This is simply the best product ever. It really does keep the mosquitoes away and living in Florida that's important! The range is extremely accurate. We're planning an LED Easter egg hunt soon and plan to buy more to strategically place around the yard. Works perfect.

We rec'd & tested yesterday. Mosquitos were in the shop, & biting, until we lit it. The dogs & we were unmolested afterwards. Convenient features: A free-standing unit; mat storage in the barrel of the unit; weatherproof; same lighting mechanism as the hunting Thermacells. I'm sold!

We finally cam go outside again!! The Thermocells have been AMAZING! We live in the southwest where mosquitos are abundant and dangerous. You walk outside and you are swarmed! Our pets suffer from heart worms from mosquito bites and people fear outbreaks of Zika virus and West Nile Virus. The Thermocells have allowed us to go outside again! We are able to grill, swim in our pool and not cover ourselves with stinky dangerous sprays and we are not smelling the overpowering scent of citronella. Let's face it... citronella candles and torches only help a little bit. Plus, we don't carry them into the house on us, anymore. I use two in my yard and they allow us use of our deck and pool. Where were these when we were in Boy Scouts?! They are easy to use, attractive and they WORK AMAZINGLY! BUY THESE! GO OUTSIDE AGAIN!

This is the 3rd Thermacell product I've purchased. The mosquitoes have been horrendous this year. I've spent most evenings and weekends outside rebuilding a boat this summer. My choices were spraying myself with stinky stuff or using the Thermacells. It was a no brainer. I place 2 units - one on each end of my work area and am able to work until dark rarely ever seeing one of those nasty buggers.
