Works but refills are pricey.
I have an older version of this product that I’ve used for a long time. It works as advertised as does the new one. Mosquitoes are repelled in the area around the device. The device creates a repellant vapor so wind and obstructions effect efficiency. There is little or now odor and no noise. The device can be hard to light initially. Be sure to wait 5-10 seconds after turning “on” to allow gas to accumulate in the ignition chamber before turning to “start” to ignite the flame. It comes with a cap. Apparently, the cap is only for storage. The device won’t stay lit with the cap in place and the repellent vapor can’t escape. There is no mention of any of this in the directions. I bet they get a lot of help line calls as a result. The site glass for the flame is not aligned properly making it hard to see if it is lit. I have to look through it at an angle to see the flame. It is easier just to look through the grill at the top making the site glass unnecessary unless the cap is in place which, of course, guarantees that the flame isn’t lit. These things are kind of like printers: the device might be reasonably priced but the refills is where they make their money. Consider the cost of refills vs hours of use and compare to other options before you buy.
