Thermacell 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

I’ve been using the Thermacell E Series E65 for just over a week now and honestly I wish I had bought it sooner. We usually can't sit outside for more than a few minutes in the evenings without getting swarmed by mosquitoes but this little device has completely changed that. I was a bit unsure at first but after using it consistently every evening it’s clear that it actually works. It creates a little protective bubble where mosquitoes just don’t come near. No buzzing no bites it’s been a huge relief. What I really appreciate is that it’s completely scent free. No strong smells or smoke like the sprays and coils. It’s also super easy to use just turn it on and within about 10 to 15 minutes the difference is noticeable. The rechargeable battery is a big plus too. I’ve been getting around 5 to 6 hours of use per charge which is more than enough for a long evening outside. It’s compact doesn’t make any noise and looks pretty sleek on the table too. We’ve used it during dinner while playing cards outside even just relaxing with a book and it’s kept the bugs away every time.

Purchased so my daughter can take our no mobility senior dog out in the evenings and not be eaten alive (we live in MN). She was wearing a mosquito net hat, a shirt with repellent in it and spraying her hands, jeans and shoes, but she was still getting bitten. Plus, it was extra work to clean up each night and the gear was hot to wear. The reviews seemed pretty positive for this product so I thought we’d give it a go. We’ve been using it for a couple months now and are really pleased with it! She’s been able to go outside without the hat, bug spray and shirt and has only been bitten once. It doesn’t smell weird and the radius is large enough to also protect the dog. Since it’s only used when taking the dog out and turned off as soon as she’s done, the liquid in the cartridge is lasting a long time. It also warms up and turns off quickly so you’re not wasting liquid there either. The unit itself is small, yet lightweight and has a solid base so you don’t need to worry about it tipping over. The refills are kind of pricy, but totally worth it. I would definitely purchase another!

Very good

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.
