These really seem to work well the only problem I have is they don't last long. They cost quite a lot of money for a short time of use. The carriages run out of fuel fast. The pads also last a very short time in all about 3hrs. But didn't get bit. So depends on what you're willing to pay for a bite free environment. I hope the price goes down so I can enjoy using more often.

I liked the natural glow of the lamp. Nice heating element to work and heat the mosquito repellent. Does not really work on gnats.

I recently got the Thermacell Mosquito Repellent Lantern, and I have to say, it has made a huge difference in my outdoor experience. This lantern is a game-changer for anyone who loves spending time outside but hates getting bitten by mosquitoes.First off, the design is really nice. It fits right in with my patio decor, and the soft glow of the lantern adds a pleasant ambiance to my evenings. But the real magic is in its mosquito-repellent feature. I was skeptical at first, but this thing works like a charm.After turning it on, I noticed a significant decrease in mosquito activity around my patio. It's incredible! I can now enjoy my summer nights without constantly swatting away bugs or covering myself in sticky sprays. The lantern uses repellent mats that are easy to replace and don't have a strong chemical smell, which is a big plus.One of my favorite things about the Thermacell Lantern is that it’s cordless and portable. I can move it wherever I need it, whether I'm grilling, having a drink with friends, or just reading a book outside. It also has a good runtime on the butane cartridge, which means I don't have to constantly replace it.Overall, the Thermacell Mosquito Repellent Lantern is a fantastic product. It’s effective, easy to use, and adds a nice touch to my outdoor space. If you’re tired of mosquito bites ruining your outdoor fun, I highly recommend giving this a try.

I love this mosquito lantern. It actually keeps the mosquitoes away! It doesn't stink, and it's my favorite lantern style. I love that you can use it just as a mosquito repellent or just as a cute lantern or both. I bought 3 and put them out in the back yard with our swim spa. Most afternoons I have been bitten by mosquitos, even after professional spraying, but too my amazement , these little lanterns kept the mosquitoes away and looked beautiful too. My only problem is that I wanted to buy 3 more for the rest of my yard, and there was a limit on how many you could purchase. So I could only get 1 more. Hopefully I can get 2 more some day. I really love these. Great purchase!

So far, this is the only item I have found as an insect repellant that actually works and does not require me to oil up my bod like I am doing a remake of Baywatch with nasty smelling chemicals.I live in an area directly adjacent to both a large wooded area and a lake, so it goes without saying that this time of year sucks for bugs. What is hilarious is that my waterfront place was a couple of hundred bucks more a month, but it was doing me no good since I was getting devoured like a friggin buffet every night that I wanted to sit out there. Maybe there is just something in my body's PH that makes me more attractive to mosquitos for some reason, but it seems like I always get nailed far worse than the average person. It's like my blood is a bug version of Krispy Kreme.I tried a couple of other similar products to this and faced nothing but disappointment. I also tried the arm bands that look sort of like a fitbit to no avail. What the hell? With all of the massive technology of our modern age and yet we can't manage to effectively repel a bug? After seeing this product and the good reviews I finally just said what the hell and bought it, even knowing that many of the reviews on Amazon are bogus these days. Worst case scenario I figured I would be out 30 bucks and call it a day. So like a Tuesday night bar tab. To my amazement, the thing actually worked! You mean people actually make products which do what the manufacturer says they will?The "lantern" itself is pretty easy to put together. Unless you are complete idiot you will be ready to rock and roll in only a couple of min. The light itself has 2 settings, one is just normal light and the other is "lantern" type flickering for those nights you are looking for ambiance. All the chicks in your neighborhood will be sure to want to bang you as a result. Once you have the fluid casing in, you throw on a pad and just tap the igniter button a few times in rapid succession and it fires right up. You are going to want to set it outside for about 10 min or so before you head out. It takes a bit of time to lay down the perimeter. Once it gets going, you are pretty much good to go. If you are used to getting ate alive on a regular basis, the difference you notice will be immediate. All the sudden the back patio is not off limits after dark anymore, which is a pretty liberating feeling just in general.The bad aspect of this product is that once you start using it ThermaCell pretty much has you by the balls, as you are not going to want to go back to the previous state of affairs. The result is you are stuck buying expensive refills forever, or at least until another company comes up with something that works better. Like say maybe a mosquito effected only virus that wipes out the entire world population? Hey, a guy can hope, right? All in all, this product is full of epic win. Maybe not epic win like dating a couple of female, twin, contortionist, supermodels, but epic win nonetheless.
