I received this as a promotional item. It worked for an hour or 2 by then it seemed like the mosquitoes broke through the invisible barrier this created and started to enjoy a fest on the humans that were sitting outside. I'd possibly try it again, perhaps when the mosquitoes aren't so active.

I bought this a couple months ago and thought that I'd take a chance - that it might end up with all my other ineffective repellents - in the trash - but was tired of being eaten alive by mosquitoes so it was worth a chance. I AM SO GLAD I DID! I carry this little bugger with me every where I go. I NEVER has mosquito bites when I use this. I just bought a huge pack of refills so I'm prepared for the rest of the season. I even sent one to a friend who complained she could not get any use of her patio because of mosquitoes. She was thrilled with it too.

I did not think I’d get a chance to review this as it’s late November in Texas , but sure enough we were sitting on the patio and started get bit , got out the Patio shield and in s few minutes no more mosquitoes were bothering us . Great product, easy to use and it works !

I live in the south where its hot and humid. Perfect for pesky mosquitoes. This device is amazing and covers a big area. Now we can sit out side at night and relax instead of fighting the Jurassic mosquitoes in south Florida. Iykyk. Now we grill and enjoy summer nights out doors more. We love it.

Purchased this item to help with the HUGE mosquito problem in our back yard. We back up to a wildlife area with a pond and marsh which is beautiful but a nursery for mosquitoes. This rendered our deck off limits as dusk began, that is until we tried Patio Shield. We were able to relax "bite free" for a little over 4 hours last night. We are telling the neighbors to get one of these!!!

Got the new Patio Shield in red. Have been using on my back and front porch. The Thermacell I have have always been solid.The features are simple and effective. I also like the internal storage for the mats! I've got some buddies that are amazed and stated they got to have one or more. Here in Louisiana we can be attacked with mosquitoes 8 months out of the year. Thanks for the attractive, functional design. I've got several of the handheld, two of the lanterns, and now the porch shield.

I didn’t even know solutions like this existed, you don’t want to have to deal with mosquito bites, smelly sprays, horrible smelling candles, mosquito spray/poisons coming in contact with children and/or pets! This amazing solution allows you to have fun outdoors, mosquito free I’m good with none of the usual stuff associated with mosquitoes.

I live in Florida around tons of fresh water, meaning lots of mosquitoes! I used this patio shield on the outside table while we had an outside dinner and it worked well for the immediate area around the area. I did find the protection seemed to go up and not all around and had to place one on the ground to cover our legs. 15 ft of coverage seemed more like 10 but still worth it. Not having to use a smelly citronella was great. These did not put off an odor.

Purchased the Patio Shield Repeller last month. I have other lantern products which I am happy with but wanted to have something to set on a table by pool chairs. Product worked well even with my Florida mosquitoes and is heavy enough they can't fly off with it. Colors are great and fit in with the sunshine and decor. I like the cap feature that I can put on after use to avoid rain/sprinkler damage. The cap closes the unit up nicely. But, I still don't recommend taking it with you on a pool float though!! :-)

This review will likely never be posted because I found therma cell useless I bought this 2 weeks ago and used it according to directions. After allowing it to warm up for 30 min I was quickly swarmed by mosquitos with them even landing on the unit. I do not recommend this product as it does not work as they promised .
