Mosquito Repellent E-Series Rechargeable Repeller; Patio Shield 20’ Mosquito Protection Zone; Includes 36-Hr Repellent Refill; No Flame or Scent; Bug Spray and Bug Zapper Alternative

Worked great

This was okay. We used it this summer because the mosquitos by my house were awful this year. I did set it up on a little table next to the lawn chair I would sit in and I was still getting eaten alive. I was maybe within 1-3 feet of the product. In terms of effectiveness, I don't think it worked well. It's small and has a little charger it sits on when not in use. It's easy to charge and it's easy to use. when it's not on the charger you just press a little button. There was a little smell when being used. To me I kept smelling like something was burning, but then I realized it was just the repeller. I think it was a little expensive for how not great it worked.

This is very nice looking; small, portable, and really inconspicuous. It was easy to set up and charging is quite quick. The advertisement says that the battery life is over 6 hours. I would believe that would be right as I set it outside in our garage and forgot about it. But, I could tell that it was working because we had no mosquitos hanging around the back door. Additionally, there is an indicator light that will tell you when the battery needs to be recharged. So, if you are having a get together outside, exercising outside, or working outside, you will have no issues with bugs; you'll be covered for at least six hours. This does work and it begins working almost immediately. The scent from the repellant was undectable to me. I thought that this could be used inside the home, but I read it incorrectly. This cannot be used inside the home and the instructions specifically say so. But, as I said earlier, it kept them away from the back door, so they were not getting in to the house. The one drawback is that the repellant goes quite quickly. I priced the replacements online and their cost is about $20. That definitely has to be weighed when making the decision to purchase. This really did work. Mosquitos are drawn to my husband. He detests most repellants because they are greasy, not effective, or smell bad. I will probably buy a second unit so that one is in the garage and one is outside by the back door. It is going to be pricey, but it will be worth seeing him not being bitten up and scratching all the time. Product option: 6.5 HR woth Base - BLK $34.97. Was $39.99

Honestly, this thing is a game-changer if you hate being mosquito food (I sure do). I picked up the Thermacell E-Series E65 after one too many backyard BBQs ended with me scratching like a maniac. It actually works. No kidding! I turned it on and within about 20 minutes the mosquitoes were gone like they’d gotten an eviction notice. I won’t say I never saw one buzzing by, but they didn’t land or bite. It felt like magic, or at least like I finally had the upper hand in our blood feud. Setup was stupidly easy. You pop in the cartridge, charge it with the USB cable or use the included base stand charger (nice and modern, love that), and you're good to go. Battery lasts for hours, which is great because I forget to charge things religiously. The first time I used it, I set it up while still grilling, just placed it on the table, and by the time we sat to eat, it was already doing its thing. I hate slathering myself in sticky, smelly bug sprays that make me feel like I’m marinating for the mosquitoes. This was way better! No scent on my skin, no chemicals I had to breathe in. You can take it camping, use it on the deck, or even at a picnic in the park. It’s small and light enough to toss in a bag. One time I forgot it in the car, and I legit ran back for it when I realized. It's that essential now. The only downside is it’s one zone of protection, so you want it close-ish to where you're sitting. A Couple Gripes: It’s not perfect. Windy days make it less effective. Mosquitoes apparently didn’t read the instructions about staying away. Also, refills aren’t the cheapest, but cheaper than therapy for mosquito-induced trauma. Overall: If you spend time outdoors, get one. I’m telling you, it’s worth it. No greasy sprays, no weird smells, and a lot fewer bites. Bottom line: it actually works, easy to use, and makes you feel like a civilized human outside. Just don’t forget to charge it or you’ll be cursing your life choices around dusk. Or you could simply keep the base plugged in outside if possible and keep it on.

I got the Thermacell Mosquito Repellent 6.5 hour unit. It comes with charger and your first dose package. It.claims 36 hours of use and then you need to buy more little doses of liquid. I was skeptical that this would just be a never ending cost. The machine is decently priced but then you need the liquid. I tried it in the hot tub. This is where we get the most bites. Hot air, water, night time. It was not the hottest and humid of nights we have had, but I also didn't get bit up like normal. I would say this machine makes a difference. Will it protect you from every single mosquito, time will tell, however I am glad I bought it. I did take a photo of how much liquid was used. This was about an hour and the very first so it needs to wick into the filament. I don't think it's that crazy of an amount. I did already buy additional liquid units during a sale so I have enough for this summer and maybe into next. I have some trips planned and I think I just may take this with me (yes, abiding by all battery and liquid laws) Overall I am pleased My rating is a 4 only because if you take the price of the routine liquid into account this unit is rather expensive, however it is portable. I would have liked to give it 4.5 stars.
