refills too expensive

seems to work really well, however, the refills are way too pricey. Same price as a whole new unit. That's crummy.

Fantastic!!!! I can sit outside!!!

Used these on a trip to Alaska. The Thermacell was the first thing unpacked and turned on went setting up camp, and the last thing packed when breaking down camp. No problems with mosquitoes for the entire trip. Thank you!!!! We turned one on even when stopped on the side of the road for rest of lunch.

Can't even use the cartridge.

After charging my thermacell like suggested I went to open the cartridge and the cap was very difficult to open. I pulled up on the cartridge lid harder and it came off. Also, in the process the wick was broken. Cannot use this product now as the wick broke smooth off.

I can sit outside again!

I moved to New Mexico from Massachusetts, thinking I was saying goodbye forever to mosquitos. That lasted about 17 years until our climate shifted just enough to allow the tiniest, striped devils to take root in the desert. The past two years have been unbearable! Thankfully, a friend told me about Thermacell, and it's been a life-changer. I set it out and in no time, I'm back to having coffee on the porch, weeding my garden undisturbed, or having friends over on the patio at sunset. I will absolutely be buying additional units for each area and stocking up on refills along with telling everyone about this product. Thank you for giving me my outdoor life back!

Can't do deet!

My husband can't do any deet or other chemicals to avoid mosquitoes and I stumbled across this last year and now they have updated to rechargeable units. These are amazing and they really do work! He can enjoy sitting outside anywhere! We have 2 and take them everywhere we may go to be outside.

Terrible - does not work.

I spent a lot of time searching for the best mosquito repellent for my backyard and I kept seeing that Thermacell was ranked the best option. I ended up buying the rechargeable one and used it (fully charged) last night and it offered absolutely zero coverage f from mosquitos. I kept telling my guests, “oh it takes a few minutes to kick in”, and “it offers a 20 ft shield from mosquitos”. None of that happened. Mosquitos were up in our face, biting us all night long. I gave it a second chance tonight…same thing. My guests ended going inside because they could not stand it. Terrible product - will not buy again or recommend it.

Works great -Fluid leaks everywhere

Really appreciate the repellant functionality, upgraded from the small personal unit that uses the blue wafers, but after one use for a single hour, I shut the unit off and came back the next day to find 2/3 of the fluid had leaked out of the tank in a puddle underneath. Do I need to replace the cap on the wick after each use? Thinking about retuning for refund, can't afford to lose the expensive fluid at this rate

Does not work!

I have two of these Thermacell devices and have never had success. At our old house I blamed it on the windy conditions, but at our new place the air is pretty still on the back patio. This device was CHARGED, and on for one hour, new refill, literally sitting one foot from me. The photo shows the mosquito that landed on my leg and would have bit me had I not killed it with my hand, getting blood on me. So much for protection from West Nile virus. Very disappointed.
