My husband and I moved to a new home near to the river that has lots of mosquitoes. We were so disappointed that we were not able to enjoy our new beautiful yard in the evening because of the stupid things. I'm also an avid outdoor camper and have much experience with mosquitoes. In my lifetime I've tried torches, candles, sprays, smells, bracelets, EVERYTHING. I had yet to find something that actually worked to repel them and just suffered with always still getting bitten or smelling like a walking Deet bottle. By happen chance I ran across this Thermacell lantern that I've never heard of before. We can hardly believe it; THIS LANTERN ACTUALLY WORKS!! We have been so thrilled with it we've recommended it to everyone we know in our area with a mosquito problem (we're in Southern Oregon). As soon as the mosquitoes come out, one of us runs in to get the lantern and within 5-10 minutes of starting it up they are just GONE. The radius is probably not exactly 15ft, more like 7-10ft but we went ahead and bought 2 for when we have company over. I can't say enough how happy I am that we bought this, it has changed our LIVES being able to enjoy evenings outside!!! We eat dinner outside now as often as we can now since this thing makes it possible!

As I mentioned in my review of a different unit, after an AMAZINGLY successful experience with our first unit on a camping trip, we have bought several more for ourselves, friends, and family. This one comes out to the patio table and, when on a camping trip, picnic table to keep us pest free while eating or just sitting around chatting with our friends. I wouldn't give our Thermacell's up for ANYTHING!!

Bought the Cambridge lantern yesterday. I was a little intimidated by the price, but the swarm of mosquitoes in my backyard have made my deck completely unusable after dark. I followed the instructions, there was no wind, and I could even see some vapors coming off of the lantern, but the mosquitoes were undeterred. I eventually put it on the floor right under my legs and I still got 5 bites. It’s a nice looking unit, and the lantern is nice too but it just doesn’t keep the bugs away.

It works OK keeping mosquitos away but at most on an 8 feet circle, not 15 feet as advertised. The fuel cartridges dont last as advertised; they sell 3 pads per cartridge and I use max 2 pads per cartridge; giving about 8 hours of efficiency. Result is I have a bunch of pads left with no fuel... fuel cartridges are way too expensive. I am looking for a cheaper alternative... eorks relatively good but not worth the money...

Themocell is a powerhouse for mosquito repellent! The lantern puts off just enough light and the repellent is a powerhouse. We love in an area close to the water therefore there are areas with still water that mosquitos love. We use this all season and swarmed no longer with themocell :-) very pleased with the products!

Used our lantern last evening, and although no mosquitoes, we were attacked relentlessly by the pesky " no-see-ums", despite relocating the device at various locations by our table.

Bought this for my sister-in-law who lives in Gulf Shores, Alabama for Christmas. She was so excited and can't wait to use it and be able to enjoy her fire pit.

Finally something that works! We took our lantern to the drive in movie theatre which is notorious for mosquitoes, this worked like a charm and lasted the full six hours we were there!

The product does exactly what it was meant to do. However, I wish the butane and pad would last a whole lot longer. Going through too many of them in a month.

I have only use this twice so far, but I cannot believe that I have not been bitten by one mosquito. If this product continues to deliver in this fashion, it is a wonderful item to have on your patio. What a wonderful item.
