First heard of Thermacell while visiting my daughter and son-in-law in Maine, SOL uses the portable version while hunting and it keeps the mosquitoes and black flies at bay. (Mosquitoes in Maine are pretty much considered the state bird... lol ) Then they purchased the patio version for the deck and its been absolute bliss. I recently purchased my own Radius and its wonderful. Keeps the little flying vampires away. (('m very sensitive to mosquitoes and black flies. One bite is like a golf ball) Being able to enjoy the outdoors without smelling terrible and /or feeling greasy is terrific. Thank you Thermacell for giving me back total enjoyment of summer evenings by the fire pit !

I waited to review this products until after I have been able to use it a number of times in different situations, time periods, time of day and during different activities. Thermocells are amazing. I use to hate cooking/eating outside later in the evening during the summer due to the amount of biting bugs that would invade our backyard while we ate. I bought two units and have not had one complaint about mosquitoes or gnats from my family. Amazing product.

Unfortunately I don’t know if the mosquitoes in my area are just TOO much for this machine, or if the machine is just not what it markets itself as….But there are ZERO changes in how often I swat around my body when I’m outside. I was really hopeful this would work, but I don’t think it does.

How do I know that mosquitoes hate THERMACELL? When my family from Switzerland visits us in Glendale AZ they are usually eaten alive by mosquitoes as they love hanging out on the back patio. That’s why I searched for an effective solution to the mosquito problem. My niece who usually has about 20 bites by the end of the first night has none after a two week visit. All three visitors were really impressed with the little unit that packs A LOT of punch against mosquitoes. It’s a little pricy but that’s the price you pay for no mosquitoes and happy campers🥰😊😀. 👍👍THERMACELL

Bought the rechargeable Mosquito Repeller and Refills for 120 Hours specifically for a two week vacation in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Mosquitoes are plenty there! This Repeller and Refills kept mosquitoes away while in our Villa Pool and brought the Repeller indoor at night and kept mosquitoes in-check! Had ‘no problem mon”! No bites during vacation.

I mean the thing to rate is the machine not the refills but they asked me so here goes. I hate mosquitoes. I find them to be annoying and painful and I would do almost anything to be rid of them. So of course I buy the biggest refill size. Yes it’s a flex and I will brag about it whenever I see my fiends and family in person again. I’ll tell them how this stuff is an investment. It’s golden

I am sorry to say I am not very impressed with your product! It works but only for a short period of time! Does not keep mosquitos away for more than an hour! I bought it to last through a dinner outside and I am sad that it does not last that long!

We love the convenience and effectiveness of the Radius and the ease of refilling - pop the top and insert a new cartridge and done. We use a Gen 1 and Gen 2 Radius and it's certainly nice that the same cartridge fits both. For the relatively small price difference, and for the amount of time it works, we keep just the 40 hour refills on hand.

Works great! Our backyard is a haven for mosquitoes due to bushes and our location. Now we can sit on our patio and enjoy the evening without worry. We don’t spray and like to go “natural.” This is the perfect solution! We already have their portable and “patio shield” products, but this is even better AND goes into rechargeable unit!

I have every kind of mosquito repellent you can think of for my apartment balcony…cintronella candles, OFF, the tennis-racquet-looking zapper and I use all at various times. Same with this. I will say it’s most effective after it’s on for awhile. It doesn’t get them all (hello zapper!) but it works very well for the most part. A little breeze won’t affect it but a windy day will. I feel if the opening were bigger it would dispense and work better but then how quickly would you go through the cartridge? That would get expensive. I also wish the battery would last longer. I am happy with the product and would recommend.
