I didn’t get any mosquito bites when I used the Thermacell instead of spray repellant
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have hade mine for about a year now and my dad's has j have his for about 2.5 years. I take this every were outdoors. Wether that be hiking, fishing, or hunting, it dose it's job. It dose take a minute or so to clear out an area of mosquitoes, buti turn it off one they clear out and the "shield of protection"will stay around for 10min on a normal calm wind day. The only down side is that it is more expensive than regular mosquito spray and dosn't work instantly. But, it dose every bit as it is intended to. Also, the "refills" could be a little bit cheaper, but you can find them on sale at Walmart.

Followed directions, but got bit anyway

I bought this unit at Sportsman's Warehouse just prior to a camping trip since I saw it was highly rated. I inserted the butane cartridge, slid in the repellent insert, gave it a few seconds, and clicked the start button 5-10 times. It lit up and I verified that the flame was consistently on. Everything worked the way it was supposed to (I could occasionally see the vapors burning off the repellent insert, and it slowly changed from blue to white). I initially had the unit sitting right beside me on the armrest of my camp chair, but I was getting bit on my legs. So, I decided to place the unit directly on the ground - next to my feet. When I did that, I got bit on my arms. For me, personally, it seems that this unit is only good for about 2 feet - maximum. I would ideally have one on the ground by each foot and one on each armrest. However, at about $25 each, I don't think I'll be buying four of them. I'm disappointed since one is advertised to handle a 15 foot area.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My only problem with this product is that it uses up the butane cartridges quicker than I expected. I turn it on and wait 10 seconds and then ignite it and get that whoosh sound letting me know it's lit. I set it aside and check it 5 minutes later and have to ignite it again because it's not even warm yet. I push the igniter again and get another whoosh sound. This time it is lit. Waste alot of butane this way. Has happened more than once

This product is amazing and easy to use.
But I can't stress enough that it needs to be placed on the ground to protect your entire body.
I used my Thermacell this past weekend camping in a very mosquito infested area.
Friday night, I kept it on my little table that's about knee high. I set timers on my phone for pad changes. We had some beers, and sat around the campfire.
The next morning I realized that I was completely untouched by mosquitoes from the knee up, but eaten alive from the knee down.
It makes sense since the heated vapor is going to go up and out, not down.
I kept it on the ground all day Saturday and paid attention to my lower legs. There was definitely a difference. I kept it under my little camping table so it wouldn't get kicked or stepped on.

Long story short (thanks for reading this far),
This product is awesome and worth every penny. Just remember to place it on the ground.

We always make sure we have our Thermacell mosquito repellents with us when we camp or hike. Makes the day much more enjoyable if you're not swatting at mosquitoes constantly!
