Got to use for night fishing,when the bugs will drive you crazy,works

I purchased this a couple summers ago and it works great :)

I got this for the warm or should I say Hot evenings in Central Texas.Pros:- Actually seems to work- Easy to UseCons:- Didn't realize that you will have to replace the fuel cell as well as the pads periodicallyI got this to see if this would work on the mosquito problem we have in the Austin area in Texas.I had read some reviews that it didn't work here but decided to try it anyways.I have been pleasantly surprised by this little device. While it does seem to work about as well as a citronella torch. Dependant on the breeze .. which I figured. But what I didn't figure was having to change the fuel cell and the mosquito pads. That is an extra expense that I didn't figure on. So depending on how well this works, will determine if I continue using it or go back to the torches.Very easy to use ... you just twist the bottom to turn on and hold it there until you see the warm glow in the indicator window. That shows the coils heating up. Then you release it and set it in place. It takes about 10 - 15 minutes to reach the maximum area of coverage depending on the wind of course. Easily turned off as well .. just twist the bottom to the off position and done. It doesn't heat up that much or get hot. Just enough to heat the mosquito pad on top of the device.So far so good though !!!

These work so well!

Absolutely fantastic at keeping the bugs away but, have had 2 now that slowly get gummed up where you turn on/off/light to the point it is difficult to turn. The first lasted 2 years and died the slow death. Then came number 2 which lasted 10 months with same story. I just received number 2 replacement and I hope I can get 2 years out of it.You find a product that works, and Thermacell not only make the replacements expensive but then clip you again for whole new unit in an obscenely.short amount of time they last, not yet allow them to become unusable, keep the shareholders 😎UPDATE!2nd purchased unit on/off/light getting gummed up to make it close to impossible (already had one that died in same manner) now in find it leaking some what looks like black tree sap (see photo) PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE!

I was very skeptical of this, even after reading all the positive reviews. It just doesn't seem like anything keeps mosquitoes away except for spraying yourself with repellent. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised and still am a little shocked that it actually seems to work. I have a pool and I work on my laptop out on the patio next to it, and by 4:30 PM I usually have to go inside because I start getting bit by mosquitoes. For the last week I have been sitting out there well into the 6 to 7 PM range without getting bit, with this little Repeller sitting next to me. I still almost can't believe that that is the reason why I'm not getting bit and that it must be a fluke, but so far it really does seem to work. I will update my review if I notice a change but right now I am pleasantly surprised and pleased with this purchase. I bought extra of the Pads and fuel, because you do run through them quickly if you're leaving it on for hours at a time, especially of the pads, which only last four hours. But if it means I'm not getting bitten, I do not care about keeping a stockpile!

We bought this item based on the reviews. We have mosquito during the summer especially in the evenings. We haven’t sat outside or hung out in the jacuzzi in the evenings because of it. Tonight we tried it using the device. We set it outside for an hour to let it do its thing. Not even 15min of sitting outside right next to the device my husband and I began to be attacked by mosquitoes. Unfortunately, for us it did NOT work. Also, you’re unable to return the device and the large amount of fillers we bought. That’s the main reason we gave it a 1 star!

Nice!
