Product Reviews

Buy 2
I have the smaller version of this device (2AA batt.). Works great. Buy 2 or you will have to be fighting with your spouse to use the one you buy.

Frys mosquitoes and causes them to explode. Great theraputic value.

Will give you a painfull zap too if you contact the metal mesh while it is switched on.

Keep out of the reach of children and stupid adults.

Solid product
The zapper works wonderfully in general. It's not the greatest thing to use on gnats though, as another reviewer noted. The wire mesh is too coarse to guarantee a bridge across the contacts for such a small bug. For anything bigger (mosquitos, flies, bees, etc...) it works like a charm. You do not need to be a tennis pro to be able to hit the bugs consistently. It only takes a basic level of physical coordination.

For particularly big bugs (such as the carpenter bees that infest my back yard) it only stuns them. So if you're swinging after some paleolithic trophy specimin, be prepared to grind it with your shoe after it falls stunned to the ground.

One warning though: Once you press the racquet's button and hold it for even a second or two, the internal capacitor is charged up to 1500 volts. At that point, even if you're not holding the button down, anything that bridges the contacts between the two mesh grids will get popped. This is great for bugs, but not so much for fingers. The zap won't do any lasting damage to you, but it hurts a bit and numbs up your finger for a minute or two. The lesson here is to always assume the zapper is charged, even if you're not actively holding down the button.

Works well
Pros: *You get to hear a loud satisfying "pop" with each kill.
*Don't have to switch out batteries as aften because of longer lasting Ds are used.
*Extra size of it allows for larger capaciters to give it higher voltage.

Cons: *Hitting flies in mid air is a bit hard due to the weight of the thing,
*and its not much use to ground insects because you can't swat it against the ground without breaking it.
*Red warning light only stays on when button is depressed, even though it should stay on because juice will still remain in the capaciters for a while which can cause nasty suprises.
