Thermacell 1 Count Mini Patio Shield Magenta Mosquito Repeller Deet Free Electronic

Like the model

Nice model but unfortunately it does not seem to work 100% over here. There are less mosquitoes but we have it installed 3 feet in front of us and the mosquitoes are still attacking us.

Good feature set, but didn't repel mosquitos.

Disclosure: Thermacell sent this product to me in return for an honest review. I paid for shipping. Otherwise, I received what looked to be a retail boxed product. The short: Overall, the new Patio Shield had a lot of thought put into the industrial design. Unfortunately, the mosquito repellency did not work for me here in Austin, Texas. Ultimately, that's what matters for a mosquito repeller. The long: I own the MR150 portable repeller from Thermacell. I've tried using it during hunti...

Works wonders

I’m highly susceptible to bug bites, esp mosquitos, and typically have to limit my outdoor time and use strong bug sprays. We bought this prior to camping in a wooded area. I did not need sprays and ended up with one bite!! It’s amazing. We purchased the non rechargeable option for our camping trip and will be looking for a rechargeable option for home/daily use. I strongly recommend trying this device.

Easy to Setup

I was given the Thermacell Mosquito Repellent to try and review. I like the fact that it is compact and colorful. The instructions are detailed and simple. I live in Louisiana where mosquitoes are a constant problem all day. The Mosquito Repellent was placed in the middle of a table on my patio. After the device was started we waited 15 minutes as instructed. There were fewer mosquitoes present but I do not feel that the zone was 15 feet rather it was more like 10 feet. I like the fact that ...

Don't waste your money

I bought one for my porch, as I like to sit outside in the evenings and relax. The mosquitoes are horrible where I live and thought this would be a good choice, as Off! stopped making their best mosquitoe repellent. Boy was i wrong!! I've had a week and the mosquitoes are still biting me. Don't waste your money!

Hard to light/won't stay lit

I bought this product to use on my patio. I thought it looked nice, pleasing color and shape, unobtrusive, and not messy. After unpacking, I read through the instructions and thought, seems easy to use. Screwed in the fuel canister, turned it on, clicked 3 times and nothing. I tried again, nothing. Turned it off, waited a bit then tried again. Clicked what seemed like forever and finally I saw a glow in the sight glass. After about 3 minutes I noticed there was no glow. Started over trying to...

I'm getting another this baby works so well

Fire pit, right next to marsh. Cat tails and beaver hut in sight. I tested it. It worked. It worked impressively in my humble opinion. I've been in that area with nothing and was lighter due to the amount of blood I had removed by them pesky critters. I've been able to sit there for hours with no spray and never so much as a swat from my hand. If it's windy enough to keep the bugs away, don't light it. If the bugs will be looking for you, light er up. I turn mine on right away, before I even lo...

It Really Works!!!!!!

I am camping in a Provincial park in Canada for 5 months. I have allergies to scents and didn’t want to put nasty chemicals like deet on my skin,so I suffered the mosquitos from May to the 2nd week in June. The mosquitos became more ravenous and seemed to get bigger in size, so I not a got a Thermacell. I can now bbq, relax, eat and drink outside without constantly swatting the mosquitos. It starting working within 5 minutes of starting it and there was not one mosquito on my patio. I love this...

Knocked the skeeters back in South Florida

Let me start by start by stating that I have been a fan of Thermacell products for years. I use one hunting, and I have several for home and camping use. I was visiting my family down in South Florida this last week. With all the "social distancing" going on, we did a lot of sitting around my sister's patio to converse. The first night I was there, the mosquitoes would not leave you alone. The area had just recently been deluged by rain for a solid week, and the mosquito larvae were just st...

3rd times A Charm?

I was was really excited to give this a try(The 15ft zone) so that my youngest would be able to enjoy outside without getting but up as he is a bit allergic to mosquitoes and can't really enjoy without getting sprayed down, but It honestly did not work. Once we sat it nice and high, made sure it was lit and staying on and waited to see if it would work we did notice a slight decrease in them but they were still pretty much biting us and we were hoping for a mosquitoe free zone, we've only been a...
