"Every Garden Should Have One!" star star star star star If you're considering buying this I can recommend it 100%. Might seem expensive but it is worth every single penny. Sitting out in the garden has never been more pleasurable. Absolutely no need to worry about midges or moquitos.
"Finally we can sit out in the evening." star star star star star We live in a rural area with a garden stream, long established trees, shrubs, bushes and hordes of flying midges which emerge in the evening. In the 34 years we have lived here we have never been able to sit outside in the evening without being heavily pestered/bitten. We bought and used the Thermacell Halo Mini and for the first time ever we are now able to sit out until after dark and enjoy bug-free peace and tranquillity. We can see a few of them hovering just outside the wide coverage area which they don’t enter at any stage. Extremely delighted with this life changing product.
"Would not be without!" star star star star star Have been using for nearly a year now (as very prone to bites, with serious reactions) and it is brilliant! Even out on our boat, not had another insect bite. Just be careful to ensure it is lite… the orange light, inside the device is tiny (far too small in our opion) and could do with being far easier to see. We have now bought several more, to ensure we have one with us, where ever we maybe outside. Note: don’t use inside, unless there is lots of ventilation… which is a shame, because means I can’t use one in the bedroom at night.
"Does what it says on the box" star star star star star Excellent well designed piece of kit. Looks good and is so easy to load the gas cartridge and blue repellent. one click and the thermacell is pin action. Once working you don't see any midges, mosquitos or any other biting insects. Lasts long enough to cover the average stay on the patio.
"Still Judgemental" star star star star star_border I have read the 2 previous reviews,I question one of them. Did you check the repellant mat as well as the flame? One canister is SUPPOSED to last for 3 mats (see below),maybe the mat was no longer repelling? Up to now I have found this product does repel insects BUT certainly not as described. Insects do come within the 20m radius however they soon depart. My only qualm is my 1 gas canister did not last long enough for all 3 mats to expire and no, I hadn't left an expired mat in place with the burner on as I check the mats regularly because I’m prone to be being bitten and so I’m very wary!
