Product Review by Elliott Hoffman
Being someone who enjoys staying outdoors, I’m always on the hunt for good mosquito repellents because nothing spoils outdoor fun like a few pesky mosquitoes irritating you with the buzzing sound as well their merciless biting. Then, I stumbled upon the Thermacell Patio Shield Mosquito Repeller online and was eager to try it out.
If you haven’t already heard of Thermacell Patio Shield Mosquito Repeller, brace yourselves for you sure will be surprised. This Mosquito repellent works wonders. However, it isn’t like any regular repellent which needs to be sprayed or applied. All you have to do is take this stylish device with you wherever you’re going and stay safe from any pesky mosquito.
How does it work? Well, it creates a 15- foot long shield around itself, so to speak. Anything that is within this shield stays safe from mosquitoes. Liquid butane, present inside the device ignites (without any open flame) and heats up a blue mat which contains allethrin. This allethrin evaporates and creates a fume which we can’t smell but mosquitoes apparently find it repugnant. So, all you need to do is simply place it on the patio, a desk or any other location and go about your chores without any worry. The repellent will silently work its magic.
Size: The dimensions of the device are 3.4″× 3.4″× 6.5″ (L×W×H)
Weight: 0.6 lb
Hours of protection offered: It can be used continuously for 12 hours straight.
How to assemble device: Device needs no assembly.
Warranty of device: Device comes with 1 year satisfaction guarantee.
Size of protection zone: Size of the protection zone around the device is 15 feet
From my personal use of the device, the Thermacell Patio Shield Mosquito Repeller works wonders. It worked continuously for 12 hours doing its job well by keeping pesky mosquitoes at bay. I stayed within its zone of protection to get the complete effect. It did take us a few minutes to figure out the workings of this device but once you get it, it’s pretty easy to use. It comes with 3 repellent mats and 1 fuel cartridge.
While shopping for the Thermacell Patio Shield Mosquito Repeller online, I noticed that only orders above USD 49, receive free shipping advantages. The repellent costs around USD 24.99 comes in different colours ranging from green, blue to red and grey. The site mentioned that due to certain limitations, they only ship to the contiguous United States.
As far as competitors for Thermacell Patio Shield Mosquito Repeller are concerned, I did find quite a few online. For instance, the Original Xiaomi Mijia Portable Mosquito Repellent which works along similar lines. It has a built-in fan which rotates to promote uniform evaporation of the medicament which is also said to be fragrance-free. Its dimensions were listed as follows: 96.5×96.5×52.7 mm. However, with not much views online, we’re not sure if the product is to be trusted.
