I was sent this by a company to test. I was so delighted because I just moved to Florida and I really have been battling mosquitoes being I don't Have a screen door at this time . I put it outside on my porch and I like the fact that it's very quiet. The instruction diagrams were very easy To follow. I like it you don't have to plug it in or use a flame. I will definitely be purchasing more of theperiod I like that it came in different colors when I looked in the website.

I received this product in exchange for an honest review. I was pleasantly surprised how easy this was to set up and use. Our yard has a lot of mosquitos and worked really well at keeping them away. We noticed maybe a couple of mosquitos while using this when we would normally be swarmed by them.

I bought this product to use on my patio. I thought it looked nice, pleasing color and shape, unobtrusive, and not messy. After unpacking, I read through the instructions and thought, seems easy to use. Screwed in the fuel canister, turned it on, clicked 3 times and nothing. I tried again, nothing. Turned it off, waited a bit then tried again. Clicked what seemed like forever and finally I saw a glow in the sight glass. After about 3 minutes I noticed there was no glow. Started over trying to get it to light. It finally did and we used it for 30 min or so. It did keep Mosquitos away for that time. When we were done, I shut it off but didn't remove the fuel canister. A couple day later, I tried to light it again and couldn't get it to work. I checked and the fuel was empty. I am very disappointed in this product and would not recommend it. My advice, get something that is rechargeable/battery operated.

I bought this product a week ago. It’s definitely a quick relief for a small patio. To me it uses the butane too quick. I used it Twice for a total of 4 hours and used the refill mosquito repellent pads. Not worth it because we live in the country and need something for a larger area.

The mosquitoes literally landed on the device. I left it running for over half an hour and even had a mosquito come right up into my face and land on my nose sitting 1 foot from the device. Awful waste of money that I hope I can find a way to get back.

We used this on our back porch last weekend for the first time, where we are usually either reeking of bug spray or beyond eaten alive. Nobody put on any bug spray because we wanted to see if this thing really works.... Well... After the first fifteen minutes or so, the mosquitos just went away... And they didn't come back!!! The only bites we had were the ones we got before we turned it on! It will definately be getting another one or two to space around our deck and cabana.!

I love this thing, it is a must have. We live in the country with a pond and a cow pasture. The mosquitoes here are not normal mosquitoes they are teenage mutant ninja mosquitoes!! I have spent so much money on every kind of torch fuel, citronella candle, citronella incense, citronella plant, and bug spray just the works and none of them have worked they will bite you through bug spray and through anything you can throw at them. THIS is the only thing that keeps them away and lets us enjoy the outdoors as a family!

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!

We full time travel in an RV. Mosquitoes are a problem everywhere! We've used Thermacell's portable devices for some time, and still do. Dislike sprays and wipes, although you use them when needed. These... to date, we've not found a better option - they work. Our hope is that the Patio Shield casts a somewhat bigger coverage area than the portable. As we've only used it a few times thus far, that verdict is still out. Rarely give a 5 rating since there is always room for improvement. Nevertheless, the devices are our "go to" solution! (tip - instructions do not explicitly state it, but cover must be left off when in use!)

I bought this Patio Shield Repeller last summer and I couldn’t believe how good it worked. I can’t be outside without having it on (about 15 minutes before I need it) because mosquitoes love me! When I get bitten it makes a huge swollen welt so without my Thermacell I can’t be outside at all.
