Received this item from Thermacell to test. It has worked as great as all other thermacell products. Would like to see a change made to have the top clip onto the base during use so it does not get misplaced. Already had to look for it a couple of times after someone moved it.

Bought one for my cousin during the Calgary Stampede, based on a friend's recommendation, and it worked 100% after being eaten alive the evening before! Bought 2 more for myself and LOVE them. No more irritating visits on my deck next to the pond. I had no problem registering them in Canada. If it is windy, it has to be upwind, but you will get less coverage. Impossible for mosquitos to be landing on the device, as the repellent works like a charm, and the top gets quite hot. I think some people forget to read the instructions, and don't know how to use it! I highly recommend it!

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!

- The repellent blue squares don’t last as long as I’d hoped- even when they first start turning white, they don’t keep the mosquitos away- which cuts down on the amount of time they actually work. - The refills are expensive for having to change them out often So, yes it does work, but for the amount of time and money, it doesn’t add up well.

I have the old patio lanterns and bought this recently. It looks much nicer on my patio table and is easier to operate as far as switching the butane cartridge and the ignition. On the old lantern, it was hard for some people to get their fingers in the slots to open the bottom to change the cartridge. This model is much easier as you unscrew the base. It works just as well as all Thermacell products I've tried which are the only things that keep the mosquitos off of me, except for spray-on repellant, which I'd rather not use constantly. I love the design and that there is a lid, so I can leave it outside even if its raining, which happens most afternoons in our part of Florida.

We have used both this patio version and the hand held units. They all have work so well. We have purchased multiple as gifts, always well received. Taken outs to many events, and friends are always interested and amazed at how immediately the bugs get gone! Perfect for around the camp fire, fishing, and while enjoying dinner outdoors. Highly recommend you try this piece of tech out!

To the reviewer who is belly aching about supply .... you do realize that we are in the middle of a pandemic and many manufacturers are still experiencing supply chain difficulties. There are hundreds of products which have yet to rebound. Get a grip 1st worlder.

This product was used while car camping. It was very easy to used and look pretty on the table. I would not hesitate to use this for a backyard picnic. I love that it came with multiple refills. Overall, I thought this was a great value. It worked well to keep the mosquitoes away. There was no weird odor. I would buy again.

I was was really excited to give this a try(The 15ft zone) so that my youngest would be able to enjoy outside without getting but up as he is a bit allergic to mosquitoes and can't really enjoy without getting sprayed down, but It honestly did not work. Once we sat it nice and high, made sure it was lit and staying on and waited to see if it would work we did notice a slight decrease in them but they were still pretty much biting us and we were hoping for a mosquitoe free zone, we've only been able to try a few times due to weather but we will try once more and who knows maybe 3rd time is a charm :)

I’m on the edge of woods with a stream running through. We have standing water when it rains. When I take the dog out I feel like I’m eaten alive as soon as I open the door. I bought one of these devices and have been sitting on my back deck for 1/2 hour and not a bite. this is amazing and I hope it lasts because I’m sold at this point. I wish I could find one that covers a larger area for the pool area.
