Thermacell Mosquito Repellent Rechargeable Adventure EX-Series EX90; Patio Shield with 9-Hour Battery, Includes 12-Hour Refill, Rubber Armor & Carabiner; Scent Free Bug Spray Alternative

As mentioned in other reviews, this device works in keep mosquitoes away. It is extremely durable and easy to charge and use. It did take 2-3 hours to charge, so plan ahead. This repellant does NOT keep away other flying and biting insects, which in New England are black and green flies in the spring and biting midges (no-see-uhms) in the summer. They will find you, especially your legs, ankles, and feet which means you still have to use some type of topical repellant to be safe. The repellant cartridges for the device are pricey and reviews for the non-branded replacement cartridges do not seem too encouraging, so be prepared to pay premium for mosquito control. In my opinion, it is worth it since it makes sitting in my backyard more tolerable.

I've been using the Thermacell Mosquito Repellent EX90 on my patio here in NYC, and I've got to say, it's a game-changer for those cooler evenings when mosquitoes still want to crash the party. It really does keep the bugs away, and the best part? It's scent-free, so no more dealing with that typical bug spray smell. What I Like: It Works! No more swatting mosquitoes every five minutes. This device creates an invisible shield that keeps them at bay. Battery Life is Solid: It lasts through my entire evening outside—about 9 hours. Plus, it comes with a 12-hour refill. Super Portable: The rubber armor feels sturdy, and the carabiner clip is super handy. I've clipped it to my backpack for hikes with friends, and it's been great for keeping mosquitoes away from our group. What's Not So Great: Refill Costs: The refills can hit the wallet a bit hard unless you snag them on sale. Overall Thoughts: If you're tired of mosquitoes ruining your outdoor fun, the Thermacell EX90 is definitely worth checking out. It's easy to use, effective, and great for both home and outdoor adventures. Yes, the refills can be a bit pricey, but considering how well this thing works, I think it's a fair trade-off. I'm really glad I picked this up—it's made my outdoor hangouts a lot more pleasant. Highly recommend if you're in the market for a hassle-free way to keep those pesky mosquitoes away!

We like that the product is rechargeable and you don’t have to deal with the propane of the other models. 20 ft radius is about right. Neither is us notice a smell unless you stick it in your nose. As you would expect, Effectiveness diminishes if there is strong wind. Wide stable base. It is new, and 9 hrs seems about right for what we are seeing. 2 cons: the rechargeable versions are more expensive per hour to use because the refills are more expensive per hour than the non rechargeable versions. About 45 cents per hour using the largest and cheapest on Amazon. I think the non- rechargeable are more like mid 30 cents per hour. Second issue, you have to be sure to charge them within a day or two of intended use, or the battery’s starts to drain if just sitting unused on a shelf. Have not tried to find out by how much, but the unit has 3leds that tell you what level the charge is. If we let it set maybe 3-4 days after giving it a full charge, it may show only two leds, and once it showed only one. Just be forewarned. We sometimes hang ours by the strap right outside the door of our RV if bugs are bad. Does a good job of letting us open the door without any bugs getting in.

Charge it like a phone after using it and youre golden. After a weekend of being outside for 3 days, and using it when the mosquitos come out, I have gotten one ONE bite, from the normal 10 or so EACH NIGHT. I am finally able to not need to worry about getting eatin alive. Lowes hardware carries the 12 hour refills which is awesome. I do wish the battery charged faster, but if you charge it after use (like a phone), its not a worry. This will be carried with me anytime im going to be outside when the mosquitoes come out!!

Most expensive and most ineffective product i have ever used to repel mosquitos. After spending almost $100, my yard attracted more mosquitos than ever before. I purchased a $5 fogger spray and over the past 2 weeks mosquitos have miraculously and thankfully disappeared. Big scam in my opinion, but apparently many are buying it. Mine was returned after 2 weeks mostly because of the companies claims of how well it works and finally because of the outrageous price for the liquid repellent that i unbelievable saw mosquitos licking the residual liquid puddles. Amazing!

I swear by Thermacell. Love the rechargeable aspect of this one. Also, this one uses a liquid instead of the the pads. When using the pad type thermacell once you open the pad it cannot be reused. With this liquid type, you can use it for 10 minutes and then turn it off saving the bug juice for later use. This one has worked best for me. I’m only buying this new one to replace one I’ve had for 10 years after accidentally setting it underwater in the creek for a few hours.

This product would be an absolute Godsend if not for the fact that the cartridges do not last nearly as long as the manufacturer claims. The 9-hour cartridge that came with the diffuser, lasted about 5 hours. And, at $60 for a 3-pack that claims to last 40 hours each, it's much too expensive to continually replace. Two separate 40-hour cartridges, used 2 hours per day, lasted only approximately 20 to 24 hours. I am terribly disappointed to have to return it, but it's too expensive for it to not last as long as the manufacturer advertises.

I like the design. Its well made and is perfect for placing on a small table since it doesn't tip over easily. Charges fast and lets you know when the repellant becomes effective after startup. Nice tech.

This is great, Mozzies and midgies totally gone. Keep the little cap thay screws onto the liquid cartridge as it wilo evaporate when not in use. Otherwise completely excellent, even when its windy.

It states that a 12 hour refill is included but unfortunately it wasn’t.

The product worked from the point of view no bites in the 2 hours sat outside but the capsule it came with had barely any liquid and looked like it had leaked and now NO REFILLS on Amazon and massively expensive refills off another site so be warned it works but Will be Expensive to Run if you can get refills.

An absolute gamechanger. My partner uses this all the time in our backyard and shed. We love that it's usb rechargeable! Shoutout to 'Camping with Steve' on Youtube. he uses this brand for all of his adventures and is the reason we decided to get one too.

Have used in patio situation, enclosed 3 side & a roof with zero wind, still getting mozzies after 1, 2 & 3 + hours after starting it more than once
