Thermacell Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller E-Series E55 with 12-Hour Repellent Refill

So far using the Thermacell E55 in the backyard helps keeping mosquitos away. It is effective and better than sprays. It is portable, lightweight and easy to use. Strongly recommended for family outdoor activities like camping or just relaxing with friends in the backyard.

I received this fancy new gadget over a month ago and I'm only just getting around to using it. I redid my porch colors and needed to spray paint some flowers and such. Usually, I couldn't do this without spraying myself with insect repellent. However, with this gadget, I was able to redo my porch without any insect bites and without using any repellent. I will be ordering more units for my household and outdoor needs. Thank you, Thermacell, for creating such a great and useful product!

I bought this about a month ago for around our pool! We live in Louisiana where the mosquito are our “yard birds!” This works great! I would definitely recommend this hands down. We were able to enjoy a day/night by the pool without having to worry about being bite!

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.

I am extremely disappointed! Just received this as a gift not only did the repellent that came with it came only half full (so I will not be getting the 12 hours promised on the box) the extra one purchase that is supposed to last 40 hours came almost completely empty!! These refills aren't cheap to start with and now I can only get a fraction of the promise protection time because they are sending nearly empty ones!! Not worth the money!!

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 have two of these Thermacell devices and have never had success. At our old house I blamed it on the windy conditions, but at our new place the air is pretty still on the back patio. This device was CHARGED, and on for one hour, new refill, literally sitting one foot from me. The photo shows the mosquito that landed on my leg and would have bit me had I not killed it with my hand, getting blood on me. So much for protection from West Nile virus. Very disappointed.

I've used other thermacell products and they work great. My issue with this purchase was the fact that the refill was not in the box.

After letting the unit warm up and run for 30 minutes, it seemed to have no effect on the mosquito population in my backyard, as evidenced by this photo. In the picture, you can see three things: The new thermacell I just bought, my legs with multiple fresh bites, and a live mosquito sucking the blood from my flesh. Waste of money.

I have used Thermacell products in the past with great success. Thought I would try this rechargeable one. Wast of money. It doesn’t work. Followed all directions, feel the unit getting warm, but still have mosquitoes bite me and I am not a foot away!
