Review: Holy 💩… - Just.. WOW. I really am amazed, astonished, astounded!!! Ok so I have a she-shed I spend most of my time in, in the back yard that’s mostly built around my cats. Therefore I need to leave the door open so the furballs can get in/out. (Pictured: my setup and how I have the curtains at night) This then invites an insane amount of mosquitoes in and everyone is getting eaten alive including me. I professionally spray, i fog, I have bug zappers, those tube things and dunks and I’m still covered in bites. I have to dress head to toe, sweating my tuckus off and any peaking skin gets decimated. I didn’t want to try this at first because it’s so expensive and refills only last a small amount of time but holy crap you get you pay for!!!! -First night: it had just rained heavily and was hot and humid so I expected heavy demon fire. There were already mosquitoes in the shed when I placed it at dusk.. ready for war. Prepared to run around like a crazy person armed with my electric swatter, I started seeing the mosquitoes struggle. I thought this had to be a coincidence. I thought thermacell was just deterrent but I think it killed them. After they died I didn’t see a single hell beast all night long. I wanted to leave a review immediately and tell everyone their savior has arrived but I was still in denial that it was truly as effective as it seemed. Beginners luck? Second night: I turned it on and decided to put on shorts and a tee shirt, leave the doors all the way open, just closing the curtain and didn’t fog. I know that seems like I’m flirting with death but anything for science, ya know? Nothing!!! Not one fly, moth OR BLOOD SUCKING ABOMINATION!! It’s so small yet so powerful. I think I’m going to build it a shrine at this point. Bottom line: it’s easy to use. It’s not bothering my animals. The battery life is stable and stays on the full advertised 9 hours. It’s portable/small and you can place it anywhere. It’s silent, has no smell and releases a tiny bit of barely visible vapor. It’s just incredibly effective! Oh and I love that all parts are black including the device, dock, cord and charger block! Some companies get cheap and use white charging blocks for each color to save money. Cons: Espennnsiveeee!! Especially for daily use. Also, you can’t use it while it’s charging and charging takes hours. That’s about it. I already bought a second one to use while the other is charging. Edit: the fourth night I started seeing mosquitoes and thought it really was too good to be true but I checked the cartridge and saw my 36 hour refill cartridge (which should have lasted at least another 10-ish hours) was empty. I was unaware you HAVE TO PUT THE BLUE CAP BACK ON WHEN YOU’RE DONE! Especially when the device is charging because it gets warm and the juice will evaporate through the wick even when the device is off. It will evaporate super fast if it’s very hot outside so placing it in a cool place will help too.
Review: Buzz Off!! - AWESOME product!! I have not gotten one mosquito bite since I starting using this product this spring. NOT one! ...and I'm that person that always gets bit. If mosquitos love you too and you're second guessing going outside this summer then try one of these units. FYI- This Old House Bob Villa gave a good rating and REI sells this brand so you know its good. The repellent refills are a bit pricey but for me its worth it to enjoy dinners on our patio again without being the main course!! Also note: they are rechargeable & come with a charging cord only, you will need to provide a charging plug/port. Charging can take several hours (I charge them overnight) however I believe there is an updated edition that comes with its own quick-charge charging station. Unit needs to be set outside and turned on 10-15 minutes prior to enjoying the outdoors. Covers a 20' diameter range. Cheers!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but pricey
*by S***R on July 28, 2026*

Overall I love the Patio Max. It is easy to get started with it and easy to charge. It hold a charge well. It also seems to keep the mosquitos away pretty well and that is saying a lot when you live in Georgia. We have mosquitos everywhere. We love to sit on the porch in the evening which is when the mosquitos are out the most. All you have to do is turn it on and wait about 15 minutes and then go out to a covered porch. It doesn’t have a strong smell like a lot of other products which I really like. The only thing I don’t like about is if you forget to turn it on for a while before you go out it doesn’t work quickly. You have to turn it on for a while before you go out to have good coverage. I would continue to buy though, and recommend to friends and family.
