We have only used the repeller once so far since it's early in the season. We expect to use it a lot as summer comes. We bought this on the recommendation of our neighbor, who loves this product.

Love NOT being bitten. I use this everywhere: out back, the winery, church. This is an amazing unit. I even have one to keep by the back door so when I go in, there are not bugs near the porch light. It's the best invention! Plus, no smell, no fire. I love it.

I purchased this one to travel with, was so excited to be able to! But I don't feel it works as well as my Butane fueled thermocells. Still bringing it with as there isn't anything else and it seems to offer some protection if you sit right next to it.

Haven't used yet. The previous one I bought worked amazing. I will give kudos to the extraordinary service received when contacting the company regarding an older device where the battery stopped charging altogether (roughly 2 yr old one that wasn't in production anymore). I was mailed a code for replacement to a newer model. After 1st email to CS I was promptly replied to w some trouble shooters, to which I replied didn't work for me. I was informed the battery needs recharging every 2-3 months even when not in use, and as I live in an area w four seasons, I had not kept it charged after the summer/early fall so I'm sure that was the problem. Even still, I was sent a code for a brand new one w/shipping included after explaining the trouble shooting tips didn't work. Excellent service.

I'm a fan. I believe this really works. The proof? I get mosquitos bites if I stand in my front yard for more than 5 minutes. When I bring my Thermacell out into the backyard when I am raking and pulling weeds I can take up to an hour and I have zero mosquito bites. So, I do believe it works.

Omg it actually works! How do more people not know about this? Everything else I have tried is total snake-oil... lamps that are supposed to repel them, liquid you hang in trees at the edge of a space, etc. etc.; all complete garbage. But this thing ACTUALLY WORKS AS DESCRIBED. I no longer have my own personal swarm hovering around me while I work in the garden. I'm in North Mississippi, where the mosquitoes are small but very, very plentiful.

Clearly this won't be posted, but...the mosquitoes are still biting. I went with the Wirecutter recommendation and it seems like this product can't tout itself as a force field against 100% of biting insects; my legs and face tell a different tale. While I'll never know what the effect of not using the repeller in similar conditions (because I'm not brave/stupid enough to perform an unbiased, scientific experiment), my family and I retreated to the safety of indoors because of the bites. I can't recommend this product as better than not using it at this time.

My wife loves it; not so much myself. She claims it works wonders while I'm still getting eaten alive. Three of us on the patio last night; my wife and brother Jim never had a single bite, myself on the other hand was getting eaten alive. I guess I'm just a mosquito magnet; go figure.

I used three of these under a 20' x 40' tent with open sides in a heavily mosquito-infested wooded area in Michigan in the evening of a very wet summer. People were getting destroyed the night before in this spot, but as soon as my Thermacells heated up, the bugs were just gone...all of them. With the perimeter up and running, any insect that wandered too close would literally fall out of the sky. They work incredibly well and I love not having to replace butane cartridges. It's also really convenient that the cartridges last 36 hours. If you have easy access to recharge them, these are the way to go.

I tried the Thermascell now a few times and I did see some mosquitos (and flies) in the 'dome'. Also I have the feeling that mosquitos will still be there under the table outside while the thermascell is on the table outside. The thermascell produces some sort of damp, mist, which is subjected to even the slightest wind. Not convinced about the effectiveness, but I'll keep trying as I also bought a refill.
