Just 15 minutes before sitting outside on the porch, especially around dusk, turn on the Thermacells and life is great; no bites! First started with the beans years ago (pads and butane canisters), and these rechargeables just make sense as the next step. Additionally, they are attractive, and less likely to inadvertently get knocked over!

Rechargeable is worth the higher upfront cost After having a bunch of the Thermacell MR300 models that require both butane cartridges and replacement pads, I really like having a rechargeable option. The initial price is a little higher, but I specifically chose this model because I was tired of continually buying butane refills and pads. It's compact, easy to use, and I love being able to simply recharge it. While you still have the repellent refill to replace, eliminating the butane cartridges makes it much more convenient. I feel like the rechargeable design will cost me less in the long run, especially since we use our Thermacells pretty regularly. Definitely worth the higher upfront cost for me!

Like having a force field around the picnic table keeping the nasty biting disease transmitting squitos far away. Next campsite over the occupants were swearing, swatting, and finally wiping and spraying on the bug repellant while we sat comfortably eating our meal. Definitely worth the time and money. The refills are quite spendy but worth the dough to not get bites and swelling and itching during and after the camping

Came out to the she shed this morning for coffee and pesky bugs flying around. Remembered I bought this product after seeing it work at a friend’s barbecue. Set it up in less than 5 minutes and voila! Enjoying my coffee without any pests flying around.

I've been using my Thermacell on my overlanding trips, and it's honestly been really handy. It's easy to bring along and works great when we're hanging out around camp, especially when the mosquitoes start coming out. One less thing to worry about while enjoying the outdoors. Definitely a great addition to my overlanding gear and something I'll keep bringing on my trips!

Setup assembly was pretty straightforward. The added repellent refill which was INCLUDED made this a great value purchase. So far, it is doing its intended job and warranty setup was a breeze. I will update this review as the week progresses for a more accurate rating.

My neighbor is bothered a lot by mosquitos, so I bought it for his comfort. I want my guests to be happy and comfortable. He recommended it to me. Overall, they don’t go after me, but I do know they do attack certain people.

Seems promising so far. I like That it only takes 15 minutes for it to be fully activated. I like that it is rechargeable and it can be used while it is plugged in charging. For me personally the 5 1/2 hour battery life is sufficient since I'm only using it on my back deck. Ideally would love to see the repellent price come down. I am happy to spend the money if it ends up, keeping me 100% mosquito free.

I use this for the first time this morning and inserted the 12 hour liquid insert that it came with. I had it on the front porch for less than an hour and a half and checked the amount of fluid and it was almost gone. It does not seem that there is a setting that I can adjust to let it go through the liquid slower. This is supposed to be a 12 hour insert and if it only lasts two hours, that is going to be difficult and expensive.

Product seems to work as advertised repelling mosquitos but not necessarily the 20ft. Still had a couple mosquitos at 15ft. Short 5.5 hour battery life. Also, it doesn't have any indicator to let you know when the liquid is empty. Finally, the box is misleading saying… “Includes 12hr refill “. It is not a refill but the only cartridge in the box. The repeller does not have a cartridge in it and you have to use the “refill” to start.
