Here is SW Florida we got hammered by Hurricane Ian. Many Lani screen gone and mosquitoes are out in full force. I recommend folks buy whatever in the product line they want to survive the onslaught. I have it. Be nice if Thermacell could donate a few to the hardest hit folks here in Lee county and around us. Guaranteed to keep nasty bugs away!

I bought 4 Thermacells - two portable and 2 Patio Shields. The units themselves work great, and the poor rating has nothing to do with their ability to control mosquitosl. However I have one major complaint on the personal unit. They don't come with a belt clip. We thought they did as the pictures they display show people walking around with them clipped to their belt. I complained to the company, thinking that they forgot to include the clips, however I was told that they don't come with a clip. I could purchase a clip for an additional $12.99 - that's crazy. I bought the portable model to take with us while boating/camping and was really disappointed it did not include a clip. Come on $12.99 for a piece of plastic and a spring - No thanks! Now I'm sorry I ever purchased these.

As a Boy Scout family in Florida, we constantly use these. So much better than having to cover ourselves in bug spray! There are occasions that we still have to add repellent, but it’s not often. LOVE these products and highly recommend for anyone outside regularly during mosquito times.

I bought this unit at Sportsman's Warehouse just prior to a camping trip since I saw it was highly rated. I inserted the butane cartridge, slid in the repellent insert, gave it a few seconds, and clicked the start button 5-10 times. It lit up and I verified that the flame was consistently on. Everything worked the way it was supposed to (I could occasionally see the vapors burning off the repellent insert, and it slowly changed from blue to white). I initially had the unit sitting right beside me on the armrest of my camp chair, but I was getting bit on my legs. So, I decided to place the unit directly on the ground - next to my feet. When I did that, I got bit on my arms. For me, personally, it seems that this unit is only good for about 2 feet - maximum. I would ideally have one on the ground by each foot and one on each armrest. However, at about $25 each, I don't think I'll be buying four of them. I'm disappointed since one is advertised to handle a 15 foot area.

Love the cove and the storage for refills. The unit as always is great and getting better. I use them when hunting, fishing, camping and working. I work out side all day every day and they are great. No sprays that run into eyes and mouth when you start sweating. The only things I would like to see changed. The cover flap, no way to secure it when wearing on belt and unit is on. The other is the colors of the print. As a hunter I want to blend in, The blue and white print when cover flap is down dose not do that. other than that. Great product as always form a great company.

I recommend this to all who are outdoors Hunting & Fishing I am a Nuisance Wild Life control operator specializing in the eradication of Wild Hogs & Coyotes .I am constantly outdoors in places infested with mosquitos and other biting fly's .This little gem works well with my Mosquito Coveralls masking my human scent from the Hogs & Coyotes & Repelling Mosquitos while sitting for hours in a ladder stand at night the earth scent pads last four hours and I go through two to 3 pads a night and the Mosquitos stayaway allowing me to do my Job Eradicating Hogs & Coyotes.

I'm a hunter in SC and the majority of my time is in wet, swampy areas-so the mosquitoes are a nightmare to say the least! The Themacells are a lifesaver! I've had several different hand-held repellers and purchased this one earlier this year, to add to my arsenal-and like all the others, IT IS GREAT! I really like the new camo carrying case as well. I highly recommend these to all my friends!

I have used the MR150 portable mosquito repeller for several years and with great success. Bottom line; the technology works and works well at repelling mosquitos. I had the opportunity to upgrade to a newer model: The MR300 in a hunt pack configuration. This product includes the standard MR300 repeller unit, 1 butane cartridge and 3 repellent mats (gives you a total of about 12 operating hours). Additionally; the hunt pack includes a camouflage patterned holster with storage pockets for an extra butane cartridge and 3 repeller mats. I am an East Coast Whitetail Deer and Turkey hunter. My gear is important to me. It needs to perform it’s designed task and it needs to be reliable. There are not too many things that are more maddening than trying to sit quietly and undetected in the woods while being assaulted by a swarm of “never quit” mosquitos. This product keeps mosquitos at bay and has always performed flawlessly. I do have several points for Thermacell to consider as they seek to improve their product line. Hunters hate unnatural noises when they enter the woods. A clank, clunk, click or any sound not found in nature is a sonic alert that can ruin your day. Stealth is critical to a successful hunt. To this point; I turn my unit on when I leave the truck. While not excessively loud the switch to turn the unit on and push button ignition are sounds I like to eliminate before reaching my stand/blind. Lastly; the Velcro that secures the holster flap covering the face of the unit, no Velcro NEVER on hunting gear. That sound of Velcro opening in the woods is incredibly loud! Just another reason I secure my flap and start the unit at the truck. A magnetic button sewn into the flap would be a much better choice. All in all this is a great piece of gear. The “cons” are minor and can be overcome with a little preparation. I would and have recommended it to my friends.

Super disappointed in this product... After seeing all the great reviews and hearing from friends that these work amazing I decided to buy one but I was highly disappointed when I went out into the bushes with it had zero effect on the bugs.. I also tried it in my yard since mosquitos are really bad where I am thinking maybe it didn't work for the bugs in the bushes, and still got eaten alive by the mosquitos. I made sure the unit was running multiple times as I thought maybe it just wasn't on, but it was. Very disappointed in the product, might as well buy bug spray since it's cheaper and has more effect.

I Bought the Thermacell for hunting due to the mosquito EEE virus in my area of Michigan. It has worked well so far. However, there isn't even a place to clip a lanyard to hang it. The belt clip or a lanyard loop should be standard on all these portable units. I'd give it stars with an improvement in how it can be carried.
