I received this last weekend and used it for a picnic that I was planning with my boyfriend and it was amazing. I don’t like to be outside during the spring or summer because of the mosquitoes. I’m usually the only one that gets ate up. I forgot I was even outside. I did not get bit at all and had a great time.

I bought this about a month ago for around our pool! We live in Louisiana where the mosquito are our “yard birds!” This works great! I would definitely recommend this hands down. We were able to enjoy a day/night by the pool without having to worry about being bite!

I received this and was excited to give it a try. I like the fact that this is rechargeable and that the refills are slated to last 12 hours. But i have found that the battery life on this was only about 5 hours and that was a shock as i thought it would last as long as the refill itself. It was easy to recharge as long as one has access to electricity. As to the fact that this refill works for 12 hours i am not sure that it did last that long but it was about 8 hours that it lasted. I dont think that this was fool proof but better than not having anyting and better than usingother chemicals.

I bought the thermacell without telling my husband because he wouldn’t believe it works. Sure enough, the moment the package arrived he started with his negative comments. As the sun began to set I turned it on and for the first time we stayed outside until almost midnight without turning on candles, a fire, or spraying ourselves. Not one mosquito bite. Now we take it with us whenever we’re invited to a cookout and people laugh at us until they start getting bitten and we’re sitting comfortably next to our thermacell. For that reason I’m buying another one and ditching the tiki torches and candles. It works. It works great. It allows us to use our back yard without smelling like a fire pit or bug spray.

This is a great mosquito repeller to have for outdoors and camping. The repeller is easy to recharge and there is no mess to refill. It works great on the patio and keeps the mosquitos away while we are hanging out in the backyard. This small device does not put of any smoke or smells plus we don't have use spray ourselves when this is out.

This is such a handy device for keeping insects away! It really shines the brightest when there is little to no wind to blow the vaporized repellent away. Other than that, the battery powered aspect of it makes it ideal tossing it in with your gear and taking it to the lake or campground. And being that it's rechargable, I don't have to constantly worry about buying more batteries. Any USB powered port can recharge this unit... and your can even recharge off-grid with a handy power bank. I love how portable & convenient that this device is, and can't suggest it enough to my friends & family!

I was skeptical, but my backyard swarms with Mosquitos and this keeps them away and not a single bite. As soon as we turned it off, they were back and we were fighting them off by hand. I'm a believer and don't sit outside without it. Thermacell gave us our deck and yard back.

I received this product for free in exchange for a honest review. Me and the kids play outside everyday after school. I set this up by me while while the kids played and I’m the first one to say let’s go inside when the bugs start to get bad, this thing worked awesome we where able to stay outside longer and didn’t have to worry about getting attacked by mosquitoes. I can’t wait to bring this with us on are camping trip we are taking in a couple weeks. Would recommend and the fact it’s rechargeable is a added bonus.

Thermacell makes devices that work like diffusers, using heat to vaporize a small amount of insecticide into the air to create a bug-free zone. The active chemical is either metofluthrin or allethrin, which in numerous studies have proved to be effective spatial repellents for mosquitoes lightweight, ultra-portable Thermacell Backpacker mosquito repeller and it actually works. Here's why we love it.

I’m giving it a fair rating because it does work when used correctly but it’s battery life is nonexistent pretty much! It says it has at least 5 hours & in reality it’s less than that. It would be the best IF it had better battery life & cartridges didn’t run out so quickly. Great product though, but if you can’t use it when needed then what’s the point? Rather stay inside then be thermacell’s Guinea Pig!
