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 got this from Thermacell to try it out. I am happy with the results! We have a pool and a lot of mosquitoes. The set up was easy. I have used it for the last 2 days, and so far, I haven't seen one mosquito! They usually eat me alive! I'm excited to try this product at our lake place! I hope it's an answer for there, too. I feel positive it will be. The ease of set up is great. Charge time is good. Quick charge and seems to last a long time. Not sure how long the cartridge will last, though. I will be purchasing more.

I live next door to a pond with lots of trees and bushes around. I love to hang on the back deck throughout the day, but the mosquitos are quite bothersome because of the terrain and foliage. During the summer, I can see them waiting for me outside before I even step through the doorway! Not to mention, the mosquitos we've had are the new varieties - 'Aedes aegypti' and 'Aedes albopictus' which bite throughout the day...so we never get a break from them. At our wits end, we finally broke down and bought the Thermacell rechargable. I couldn't be more pleased! I can finally enjoy my beautiful deck! It works well for us. I've tested it extensively and while I do see an occasional mosquito, it continues flying by without landing on anyone. It always works. When I don't use it, I can tell quickly as mosquitos begin to swarm again. Is it expensive? Yes, absolutely. The price is quite high for the refills and that is the downside to this great product. The refills are quite costly if you have to use this product on a daily basis. But the payoff is the peace of mind that I can sit outside and drink my morning coffee or make Smores in the evening with the kiddos without worrying about West Nile or yellow fever, or at the very least, the welts that don't go away for days. This product is worth it!

Charged all night and it worked once. Hasn't taken a charge since. After hours on the charger, it comes on with a red light then shuts off after 5 or ten seconds. 🙁 So, it doesn't work and I have a useless pack of ridiculously expensive refills.I bought. The device was a gift, so no receipt for it, out of luck I guess. It was a gift so I don't have a receipt - I'm out of luck I guess.

Bought this last week and I can't believe I can now sit on my porch and NOT be the buffet for the mosquitoes!! I LOVE this little machine. We've tried different things over the years but they only seemed to attract flies and moths. :/ I paid full price but it was well worth it.

I was already skeptical when I read the rave reviews about this products "new" technology. Previously I'd been using the Off mosquito lanterns with the candle and the repellant tab (which worked like a charm!) but after combing through the reviews I thought I'd give the Thermacell a shot. I've used it the last two nights on my small patio in the city (where the mosquitos aren't terrible to begin with compared to living outside town, but annoying). For the hype, I expected the odd mosquito to none at all (which is what I got with the Off lanterns). But I was constantly pestered by bugs, so these are definitely not as good as advertised! I am extremely disappointed with this product.

Received this product for free if I have my honest opinion. Now I haven't gotten a full opportunity to use it outside. I used inside my house because we were having bug problems on top of some mosquitoes getting inside. And it worked wonderful I would even forget that it was on and we would leave it on through the night. I'm in need of a refill from using just inside the house but there was a MAJOR DIFFERENCE of the amount of bugs I was battling with in my house. But will definitely putting that to the test this weekend as we are going to be outdoors a lot. I cannot wait to see what it can do outside.

This little guy is our new must have summer accessory. It truly keeps all bugs away while outdoors. If you live in the south you understand! It last quite a while, is rechargeable and the cartridges are low price for what you get in return. Def go buy one or 2 for al your outdoor adventures.

This sample i receive is what i need around the house. Dont take long to charge and when turning on and has a jingle one the high side to let you know it on and turning it off it jingle on a lower sound letting you know it turning off. It doesnt put off any smells and it keeps the pest away. Now i do notice if the some wind while using the device it doesnt work as well but on a calm day it works great.

I recently had an opportunity to put this product to a serious test, and I'm impressed. I'd charged my Thermacell in preparation for some upcoming yardwork. The weather had other plans however. We were hit in this area by some serious storms today including a few tornadoes that knocked out power for hours. Nearly 12 hours without power in muggy, warm weather kept us wanting to have the doors and windows open once the rain passes, but we were getting hit pretty hard with mosquitoes until I remembered I'd already charged the Thermacell and had a cartridge ready to go. I placed it outside our door on the porch, and it kept us pretty much big free for the remainder of our time without power. I'm so thankful we had this on hand. It's effective, easy to set up and use, and a great little gadget to have on hand. Cannot recommend enough!
