I have found this to be the best thing on the market for mosquitos in a small area.such as our balcony. I put one on the table and one on the floor and it seems to do a great job.
I do find the refills to be alittle expensive as they have to be ordered online and there is shipping charge. They cannot be found in our area. I do find that very discouraging and tempted to look elsewhere for something as close to the halo as I can find.I only rate 4 because of this inconvenience.

I got this for inside the house so my daughter wouldn't get bitten at night, but the smell was so funky I didn't want her breathing it in. Plus, the little bit I did use it... it really didn't seem to help. I got a big zapper for the entire property and it did the trick. Should have just spent the money and done it right from the start.

Black & Decker MR200 Mosquito Halo Inhibitor System
I purchased on 06/12/2008. Did not work. Not worth the postage to send back.

I recently bought a couple of Halo MR 200 mosquito inhibitor devices. I found that they were of very poor quality and flimsy construction. I could see some LED leads/wires as soon as I received the devices but I packed them for my trip to India without further examination. In India, I found that the white top of the first unit had come lose. It continued to operate but the door hinge broke after opening a couple of times. After replacing the battery a few times on the first unit, the main brown unit itself began separating into two, resulting in poor battery contact. Though the second unit exhibited no visible damage, the unit's fan and lights would not work at all but the speaker emitted clicks (ultrasound I assume).

This is not the quality and construction I have come to expect from a Black and Decker product. Apparently, it is manufactured by Applica but uses the Black and Decker brand name...

This really works, but with a very small variaty of species of mosquitos, may be very small

I tried this product - great idea, but couldn't get it to work. I notified the seller who immediately replaced it. The second one doesn't work either. I replaced batteries in both units, etc., but it just doesn't work. I haven't yet notified the seller that the second unit doesn't work - don't know if it's worth my while at this point to get another one that doesn't work either.
