Customer Reviews for Thermacell Rechargeable Outdoor Mosquito Repeller in Riverbed 20 ft. Coverage and Deet Free

Living in the south mosquito repellent is a must so I gave this product a try and I must say it works nice. I love that it works like a diffuser. But the downfall is the amount of time it's stays charged and how long the repellent last. If it had longer lasting charge and repellent I'd definitely give it 5 stars.

I received complimentary for my honest opinion. This product does great when set next to my kids play area except on windy days it doesn't seem to help much. Another down fall is the price. The cartridge it comes with lasts around 12 hours so 2 days for my kids and it's gone. Not very budget friendly.

We live in Louisiana, swampland USA and a real hotbed for mosquitoes so I was very uncertain about this mosquito repellent working well. To begin, I really liked the fact that this is a rechargeable unit and doesn't use sprays, so it is child and pet friendly. I Charged it up and put it outside on the patio table, it did take about a half hour to become really effective, and definitely did do a great job of keeping the mosquitoes away in the area we were sitting.

It does its job by keeping the bugs away but the battery doesn’t last that long . But I will be buying refills anyways lol . I’m sure it will be really good when the pool is open for the summer to keep the mosquitoes away . And it’s smaller than I expected . I got it online

Living in Louisiana it’s an absolute MUST to use some kind of mosquito repellent, even to sit on your porch. This was the answer to all my flying insect issues. Easy to set up. Easy to use. Only downside is it does not last for 36 hours. Also the battery only holds a charge for 3 hours then takes almost as long to recharge. I was also disappointed by how long the active liquid actually lasted. But overall it ABSOLUTELY WILL help you stay clear of bites and bugs!! I definitely recommend!

I received this Thermacell Mosquito Repellent, from Thermacell Sampling. I received it as a free sample, and I love it. It's very easy to assemble, light weight, and guiet. Now I could do activities outside in my yard, with out those Mosquitos bothering you.

I'd love to give this product 5 stars because it did drastically reduce the number of mosquitos but it did not get rid of them all. We also had a problem keeping the device charged but it does come with a charger and a 12 hr refill which was nice. In all I'll definitely be buying the refills so i can continue to use the product.

I'd love to give this product 5 stars because it definitely helped keep most mosquitos away but the issue I had was keeping it charged. It comes with the charger but this little device would not stay charged for us. It also comes with a 12 HR refill which is nice. There was a decrease in the mosquitos but it's not fool proof we still received some bites but nonetheless it did work to an extent.

I’m giving it a fair rating because it does work when used correctly but it’s battery life is nonexistent pretty much! It says it has at least 5 hours & in reality it’s less than that. It would be the best IF it had better battery life & cartridges didn’t run out so quickly. Great product though, but if you can’t use it when needed then what’s the point? Rather stay inside then be thermacell’s Guinea Pig!

I purchase the thermacell because I am desperate to sit on my patio. I turn it on wait 15 minutes then head out. At this point it hasn't gotten rid of the mosquitoes so I sat outside about 45 minutes batting at the mosquitoes. I've tried to take pictures but it's hard to make out the mosquitoes. what a colossal waste of money.

Turn it on and mosquitos gone! Bought it a month ago to use on my back deck on the water. Mosquitos is the evening are horrible! We were extremely pleased with to find we could watch TV outside and not get eaten alive!

This mosquito repeller is a apparently unique among the Thermacell series of insect repellers. I say that because the refills for this unit (modules) are not the same as the virtually all other Thermacell units (which use ‘mat & fuel’ refills). The instructions are easy to follow. The mosquito repeller charges easily with a USB wire connection (included). Once turned on, the unit heats the wick and disperses the unscented repellent. It works quite well in repelling the mosquitoes in the zone.

Purchased this as a way to rid our deck of the Mosquitoes that show up during the Summer.  When I received it, I allowed it to fully charge and it did work for one Battery cycle.  When I tried recharging it, it never completed a charge.  There is a red light that stays lit when trying to use it until it eventually just turns off after about 2 minutes warming up. 

The Thermacell Midnight Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller 20 ft. Coverage and Deet Free, Black is a very good solution to my insect problems. I live on the water of Puget Sound and this system is a real good solution to repelling all the mosquitoes that abound here. It is easy to install, use and replace the propellant capsules. The unit lasts a long time on each charge and easily and quickly recharges.

Very well designed Thermocell re-chargeable mosquito repellent is working as good as I had hoped for.  It is very attractive, and stays "on" full time.  On occasion I still see (and feel) at least 1 or 2 mosquitoes near my computer workspace, on a daily basis.  I have yet to figure out where to purchase refills of the scent-free repellent cartridge.  I'm also unsure whether I need to refill the included cartridge, or purchase brand new, refilled cartridges.  I wish more information had been included to answer these questions.  Also if the cartridge is only a 12-hour producer, then for the 7+ days I've used it were to no avail.  Therefore I'm giving this a rating of "3" for the time being. 

I have a tremendous mosquito problem at my home and end up with too many bites to count. I have been looking for a mosquito repeller that is safe to use and effective. I do not want to spray myself down rather have something freestanding. I really like that this is rechargeable using the usb cord. Very convenient but you do have to buy more repellent refills which are pretty pricy and give you roughly 35-40 hours of protection. I think this is a great concept but I can see how it can get very expensive very fast if you do a lot of outdoor entertaining. Just have to monitor how long it is on. But so far so good. Guessing by the end of this summer I’ll know how many refills I’ll need and the true cost.

Mosquitos can get really bad where I live during the summer. So bad that it is difficult to enjoy the patio. Deet free and rechargeable were the two primary features that drew me to this particular repellent. It came with a 12 hour refill, but refills are available for up-to 40 hours. The battery will last up to 5.5 hours on a single charge, long enough for a summer evening on the patio. Installing the refill is easy, just remove the top, remove the cover on the refill, and place it into the slot of the device and then put the top back on. Push the button to start and the lights will chase around the button indicating that it is warming up. Once it is warmed up, the four lights will remain solid and repellent is being released. It also has battery indicator lights below the start but that indicate charging, fully charged, low battery and battery too low to turn on the unit. Mosquitos have been low so far this year, so I haven't been able to see just how see how effective, but the active ingredient (MetroFluthrin) has been proving highly effective in repelling Mosquitos. Of course, since the active ingredient is a Pyrethroid normal precautions should be taken when handling the refills (wash hands after handling, etc).

This mosquito repeller is a nice addition to the patio. It did help reduce the amount of mosquitos on the prowl, though there were still a few obstinate ones who made the trek into the 20' perimeter. No mosquito repeller/repellent is perfect, though, and this did reduce the numbers. It is a small unit, only about 3" to 4" tall and wide. Overall, it's helpful to reduce mosquitos. Buyers should know they have to buy refill canisters of the repellent liquid.

We wanted to try something new, we let this run for a little bit, following the instructions for set up. We only have one person the mosquitoes seem to attack and this didn't stop that from happening. Mosquitoes still showed up, going close to the repellent and not seeming phased. The battery itself doesn't seem to last as long as we'd like either. We really wanted to love this too :( It was easy to set up and get running, perhaps it's they love the individual too much either way it did not work for us.

We like to go camping and often as is the case mosquitoes can be a real problem. They seem to like to bite me especially. This is a small, compact device that works in a 20 foot diameter circle using the device as a center point. When it was warmed up the bugs did not bother me at all. It is attractive in a plain sort of way and doesn't take a lot of space if you want to travel with it or use on a deck or patio. This comes with a twelve hour refill. You can buy other refills the 40 hour refill and a 120 hour refill. The battery that it runs on is rechargeable so you don't have to have batteries on hand all the time. It didn't take long to charge up when we first got it. You don't have to use messy sprays, or foggers or other things that don't seem to work. With the increase in Lyme disease and other mosquito born illnesses this will give you some peace of mind.

The Thermacell midnight rechargeable mosquito repeller works great. I use it on my back porch and I definitely see a noticeable difference in the number of mosquitoes. In fact, most times when it is on, I don’t see any mosquitoes or ever get bitten by any. The Thermacell E-55 repeller is a small table top USB rechargeable unit that emits an odorless repellent that not only repels mosquitoes, but can kill them as well. The unit is about 4 inches in diameter and about 5 inches tall. The built-in rechargeable battery/batteries will last about 5.5 hours and requires about 2 hours to fully charge. The unit uses a replaceable cartridge that can last up to 36 hours for the larger cartridge or 12 hours for the included cartridge. The set also includes instructions and a USB cable. The EPA deems this unit safe and effective when used per the instructions. This unit actually uses a pesticide (metofluthrin) that can be harmful to humans and pets if not handled or used properly. Because of this, I always place it away from the sitting area and out of reach. Quality and performance gets 5 stars, but strict handling guidelines reduced my overall rating.

This little device does what it says, it keeps away the biting mosquitos. However, it does not keep away bugs, so I was still swatting now and then. I think it is worth the money regardless, swatting for a couple of hours is better than itching for days. After recharging, we sat outside one evening for a test, dreading the possibility this wouldn't work. But except for the few stray bugs and gnats, we were quite comfortable. The cartridge is simple to add, although it would be nice if it was refillable instead of using a cartridge. We don't sit outside very often, I'm docking it one point because it says you have to replace the cartridge after 3 months of being opened. For those that sit outside often this won't be as much of an issue. It does come with a charging cable, but it will be necessary to provide the adapter for charging. I have plenty, so this is not an issue with me and I personally like that fewer things come with the adapters now to reduce waste. There are no settings, just turning it on and off. There are sounds that are described in the manual and confirm the activity.

The Thermacell Midnight Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller with 20 ft. Coverage and Deet Free is perfect for my covered porch which I love to sit on in the evening. Of course, that is when the mosquitoes descend and this little repeller is working perfectly to deter the pests. The device is rechargeable using the USB cord provided. No plug is included so you will need to supply that. Winter storage of the device will be slightly inconvenient since the device should be charged at least every 3 months. It is important to read the instructions. Operation of the device is easy once you know the turning on and off procedures. The on/off button is incomplete with lights and a sound to ensure you don't waste the rather expensive repellant.

This product arrived today and is ready to be charged and use. This repellent is to establish a 20 foot protection from mosquito zone when in use. The battery, once charged, should last 5.5 hours and can be easily recharged. The charging cable is included as well as a 12 hour, scent free repellent refill. It is recommended that once in use allow 15 minutes to witness the full effect of this repeller. This repeller allows a 20 foot coverage. Thus far it has worked as the pesky mosquito season start up. I highly recommend this product.

I have used bug lights, sprays and a swatter and nothing helped before this little Repeller. My neighbor has a pool that draws those little devils, but now he can keep them all. This repeller has all the features as the big guys, what I like best is that it can be recharged during the day and turned on when we go out. The box comes with everything you need to get started, the charging cable, the repeller cartridge, and the repeller. the instructions are fantastic and the repeller even warns you when you need a charge. Great Product

This product works well, but ought to come with more than twelve hours of use. The reservoir that holds the repellent could easily hold much more. It seems a shame to toss the little plastic cartridge every twelve hours. This would have five stars if it had a refillable, rather than disposable reservoir. I also ordered what I thought were refills for this unit. Apparently, Thermacell makes units that require different types of refills. They were not compatible. Be careful when buying refills. See the attached picture of what the refill should look like. This is an effective product that would have been a home run if a little more thought would have gone into its refill design.

Here in south Florida we are always looking for relief from bugs- especially mosquitos. Have tried many different forms of mosquito deterrents - like coils, torches and zappers. They all work but all have limitations. The smell and smoke from some are irritating and the noise from others is not great. This product uses heat from a rechargeable Li-ion battery to dissipate a liquid insect repellent. The liquid refill lasts about 12 hours and the battery charge about 5 hours. The unit comes with a USB charger cord. We do not know how much the refills cost nor if HomeDepot will always have them in stock. 12 hours of repellent would only cover 2 evening dinner parties. The other caveat is that the area covered is rather small. It will cover your table/chairs or a small seatng arrangement but not a courtyard or small back yard or pool area. More than one unit would be needed. It does work very, very well at keeping the mosquitos at bay in the area covered. Easy to set up and small and unobtrusive. No bad smell. There is an on/off button and a battery charge indicator which is very handy.

I have used this item every summer and they work great. This one has a different look this year so that's a up grade from the old plan look that I'm still keeping cause they work good. My mosquitoes run me in the house but this gives me opportunity to sit out with my family and enjoy the out side. When my family is coming I put about 6 all over my yard to protect us.

Thermacell Midnight Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller 20 ft. Coverage and Deet Free, Black This little Mosquito repeller by Thermacell might be tiny (only 4 1/2 inches high) but it's effect is huge! After charging up for 15 minutes, enjoy up to 12 hours of continuous use on over 20fton your patio, deck or in your backyard. Love this because there are no chemicals or sprays, lotion or DEET to apply to the body. The repeller is powered by a lithium battery, that holds up to 5 hours of protection on a single charge. It also works when leaving the unit plugged in. I love that I don't have to clean a tray full of dead bugs.. Includes refill cartridge and USB cord. Perfect gift idea.
