If you use this on Brazilian rain forest mosquitos, during the equinox, with no wind, on a blood moon, with high tide, during a solar flare, it should work perfectly.
If you use thid for mosquitoes during winter , should work perfectly !
Definatly recommend during winter !
Flare*
I hear amazon mosquitos are the worst! they sting over garment.
I followed your instructions and it worked! Thank you. The solar flare was beautiful btw.
I use one everyday. I live in Texas and we have mosquitoes year round. I don't like this unit because of the battery charge time. I use a butane unit and I refill my own cartridges for about .30 cents per refill. I purchased a bunch of Raid refill mats from China and they work just fine. Thermacell repells mosquitoes 100% true.
it's pretty much a glade plugin but with allethrin instead of fresh linen scent
We used that this year for camping. Works amazing.
I've enjoyed owning and using our one when camping. Put outside tent door. Never had a mosquito come near.
Hi there it's April 1, 2023 and looking at this video it's been three years. So you said this new GEN 2.0 is the newest version and the older one they had to get the bugs out of it. So now I have you tested the new 2023 thermos cell radius? Would love to hear what you have to say
Can you tell me what the input charge voltage / amps is, as I want to be able to charge the Rdius via USB or 12V. Look forward to advice.
When it bounced around in your backpack doesn’t it leak? I have noticed it leaks when I did not carry upright.
Does it keep away yellow jackets as well?
very frustrated as mine does not lock at all. ive tried the 5 seconds either on or off and it never flashes to tell me it's locked. it just turns on and off. maybe a defective unit argh. im a backpacker and would like it to not turn on in the pack
I work For Charleston County Mosquito Control, (Charleston, SC) ThermaCell makes great products for mosquito repellents. I also tell ppl to use Skin so soft wipes.
We got one last year it literally has mosquitos land on it . Biggest waste of money.
I don’t know if this question has been asked but does it make noise while running
Hello
How much Time does it take to charge it and does the light stop flash when it’s done
Pay attention. He tells you?
He told u but it's 4 to 5 hours
How does it compare to a citronella candle which can burn longer than 5 hours?
way way better. not smoky and stinky either
By actually working
Why not use a mosquito repellent cream instead? I want to know , its for a project.
Sure love mine
4:44 - watch the bug on the right side of the frame that couldn't care less about this product.
It bounced of the force field of repellent😀😀😀😀
I’m on the verge of doing some kind of Thermacell. Really concerned that the smallest of breeze will render it useless. Inside a tent would be good I’m thinking. Wish users would post up with their takes.
The reviews state this still has to be charged during the winter months or it will cease to work. Is that true?
Yes very true.
We're now out on our second one because we went two months without charging and it completely goes to shit.
if it is windy...there's NO NEED FOR A REpeLLENT....
I even got bit during hurricane Isaias with that much wind
@@tehmineyalbuzdag2390 lord. That's crazy
Tehmine Yalbuzdag look into Mosquito Week TedX. There’s a different breed of those creatures now and it isn’t natural. GMO. Like the GMO vax
not true... that's like saying you wont get rained on if it's windy. bugs will get blown on you and they will hold on and bite you.
You wouldn’t need this in the wind. Mosquitoes can't fly in even a light wind.
Tell that to African mosquitoes... they'll find blood even in the midst of a hurricane... and bite through an astronaut suit
They do in WI.
Tell that to the massive mosquitos here in the alpine lakes of idaho
Thermacell work for sure. Any logic soul would understand it does not work in windy conditions....
So it only works, if there is no wind, the area is semi enclosed, have to be literally beside it to get any resemblance of repelling anything and maybe, just maybe i will only get bitten by a dozen mosquitos 🦟 🤔
Does that liquid refill leak if it's not stored uprite
I was worried about that too. I have had it in a backpack with it sitting in its side and such and never had any leaking. I think if it was upside down it could drop out a bit.
yes. I saw another video review & she said to not throw away the lid; or else the fuel will leak out & you will lose the remaining fuel when travelling with it open. (it happened to her; she lost $20 of fuel, because she threw away the lid.)
Therefore, yes; the unit needs to remain upright.
The ones I saw in store contained metofluthrin which is not great for dogs.
Yikes! Wouldn't have known to watch for this. Thanks for the heads-up, will be researching what would be a safer option.
Then keep the dog away....duh...lol
Yeah if there's eating it.. its also not good for mosquitoes and bees. And not good for you... so don't inhale it trying to see if it smells when it's on!...
Yeah I definitely won’t be using these especially in my area since there’s always wind... I LOVE!!!! Sawayers Picardin.
Rune plate 80k
In Sweden we just started to talk about these being toxic..
How about that refill? Is it something u gotta buy more of?
Nah they just last forever. Lol
How much are the packs? I thought maybe it was a one time purchase rechargeable deal. How does it compare to the cheap coils?
$40 at Walmart
Please do a video on how to charge it sir .. so confusing and no proper manuals
Does this work against gnats and flies?
Not flies, for sure. They land on mine.
Can it run while plugged in?
Yes
I just bought one, but there's no light even while charging (left for 6 hours) but still no light. Do you need to insert the refill for it to charge?
I just tested mine by taking out the cartridge and taking the top off and pushing the button, it gave me a blink of light then turns off. So I still get the Ring to light up even if it has no cartridge or a top. Hope this helps.
@@HikerJ thanks! i think i've just got a lemon; will exchange and see how it goes. great video btw!
If you go camping and put it into your tent or camper at night it should work great!
Hello,
Just a quick question, I live in Scotland and the main issue here is Midge's. In the worst case they lift up like a mist and then bite, it's usually thousands off Midge's which always spoil a great evening and I end up in a tent to avoid them.
Will this product enable me to enjoy the evenings without the Midge's.
Regards
Iain
I Ireland, people call them midgets LOL
Those Midges sound just like my mother in law
How do you charge it without using the 12 hours up?
Seriously?
Does it work while its charging?
Yep
I own a number of ThermaCELL units: this one, the backpacker and the old school model. This unit works pretty well, just not as good as the backpacker. This unit is MUCH easier to use regularly, as propane gets spendy after awhile.
In the wind you do not have moaquitos😂😂😂😂😂😂
I may need this one! Mosquitos love me, but I hate them!
I tell my wife and nieces that mosquitos love ANGEL BLOOD
Wind is actually a great mosquito repellent. They can't fly in it. Also, wind disperses carbon dioxide and lactic acid given off by a person so mosquitoes cant find you. In conclusion, where there's wind there are no mosquitoes
I always thought that wind and smoke were mosquito deterrents. Well, a few years ago my wife and I were having a fire in back of our house and the wind picked up. The fire was emitting smoke, the wind was blowing it around and the mosquitos were still biting. So much for those two deterrents.
That's total bs I got ate alive at the beach
And are you capable of generation the wind Zeus god of thunder and storms?
May i ask how long it last
1:20
Watch the fucking video. Literally not even 2 minutes into the video, he tell you.
Can this be used inside the house?
I would not use it indoors.
Muskol or Deep Woods Off for me.
So u get eaten alive till the battery changes lol
there wwe go
Every reviewer should warn that the refill is very expensive and takes over 4 hours to recharge. Impractical for everyday use.
So not really a review more of a product demo...
where does it say it's a review?
@@fritzov He clearly states that this is a “TEST and REVIEW” of the product in the video details. In bold I might add.
not sure why you dont think this is a review? Were you asking for the actual count of how many mosquitoes were repelled?
Thermacell user here.
Without even owning it I can roughly guess the pro and cons.
Pro - good for traveling(plane) because no fuel. Good for high altitude(7000ft+) where butane works crap.
Con - shorter runtime 6 vs 12hr. I think it’ll be more fragile than a standard one. I drop mine a lot and still functions. Even on concrete. Refillable? Not sure if anyone developed a hack yet. For example a standard Thermacell can use Thermacell and 3rd party products.
You didn’t really proved it worked. By your logic it’s an alien repellent as well because I don’t see any 🤣 ok I’m just teasing because there are plenty of vids to show it’s more effective as an aerosol repellent compared to others.
Now would I get this for plane travel? Probably not because I hacked my Thermacell to be refillable(I have a how to vid). I could just pick up butane at the destination country and fly with an empty cartridge. Alternatively if I had to go super light there are usb mosquito repellent devices out there. I have actually tested the small usb product vs a Thermacell and the Thermacell decimates it in volume of the ingredients in the air(I have a comparison vid somewhere haha).
I’m glad that Thermacell is giving options to the consumers. For me I can’t see the value.
It would be great if you have electric porch or gazebo. Never need fuel.
Mosquito coil is still better and cheaper
Bought it, big fail....
An outdoor mosquito repellent that can't have any breeze... Go figure.. its a complete hoax
You bring it out door and expect no wind? That just dumb, I'll use OFF for sure!
This thing is junk! We bought it last yr, used it twice and brought it out again just a week or so ago when we had a gathering and this thing doesn't turn on anymore! No power, tried the troubleshooting suggestions from Thermacell and nothing. Since it's past the warranty date it's trash now.
1:20 -- Should last 6 hours, but normally 12 hours.... wtf???
The one they gave him for free lasts 6 hours as trial version. The one you buy from store will last 12 hours. Same as limited printer cartridge which comes free with inkjet printer.
All lies does not work at all
Didn’t work at all 😡
***Here is my REAL LIFE review of the New ULTRASONIC MOSQUITO REPELLENT BRACELET***
