maybe the reviewer who doesn't get the "pop" from the small bugs needs fresher batteries, becasue i get a nice little "snap" from almost every mosquito i kill (and i tell ya...it does my heart good to hear that sound) You WILL want more than one of these...i have 2 and i'm ordering at least 2 more now

when i first got them i thought...oh..cute...a novelty
it was christmas and not alot of bugs around to test it on (luckily i have a son and a husband who proved to be adequate in the testing of the strength of the electric shock) (relax...the boy is 25 and was armed as well...i just run faster around the furniture)

finally summer came and to my joy these not only kill the annoying large house fly with ease (and a seriously loud "POP") and no icky splatter you have to wipe off the wall...but they also do wonders catching mosquitos on the fly with that lovely little "snap"

holding the buttons down to complete the circuit is a bit of a bother..but you get used to it and it does help to avoid shocking yourself (a rather unpleasant feeling so i'm told by my husband and son)

highly recomended

Sometimes you find some silly little thing that turns out to be great. This is one of those things. We go looking for bugs to zap now like little kids hunting bugs. lol

Great price and thought it would work based on some of the more positive reviews. But...either this unit is low powered or the flys in my part of the country need 220 volts to kill them. (I live in northern calif.) I have shocked flys with the accompanying sparks and smoke only to have them power up and lift off out of the unit and fly away. One benefit not listed on the packaging is its abilty to bring happiness. My wife has had no lack of humor laughing as she watches me chase, shock and then rechase and shock the same flys who defy death. Oh well, from a physical fitness aerobic standpoint this unit cant be beat. And rather than invest in costly pulse monitoring equipment using this unit puts you on the move making every attempted kill event an experience just shy of your target heart rate.

this thing rocks, everyone should have one, it gets rid of bugs, and is a whole lot of fun, just dont let it get into the hands of someone you dont trust, it gives you a good little zap

I purchased this product several weeks ago in anticipation of fly season. It arrived earlier than the shipping date. I give it 4 stars out of 5 only because I had to force 1 of the 2 AA batteries into the holder. Might have been just my unit. I tested the ZAPPING capability personally, since it's still rather cool here, hence very few bugs. Not a pleasant expierience!!!!!Imagine your worst static electricty shock X 100. It actually stings! After I tested it with a finger, I decided I'd try it using a metallic object. I used a small Phillips head screw driver to check whether it would actually produce a spark. Very nice white 1/4" spark and noise. One word of caution: after pressing both buttons, without a discharge by swatting a bug, this unit will retain a charge. Not sure for how long though. Great product for the price. HAPPY ZAPPING! ENJOY THE LIGHT SHOW!!!! :-)

Product received promptly. Purchased two zappers but could not get batteries to stay in one. The company promptly sent another, which worked OK.

Extremely useful for those spring/summer fruit-type flies (larger than the mini-mico type of fruit flies, smaller than common black house flies).

Not very durable, but not a problem if used for it's intended purpose of getting those pesky flies.

sucks as rowdy guy toy to give stingy charge to buddies as a stupid joke type of thing. It will break after just a few stronger than expected zaps to arms/legs of others.

This seems to be a well made bug zapper racket, however, you don't get to hear the "pop" when hitting a little bug. Sigh. No fun.

I'm really surprised by the previous reviews. I bought this one week a go and do NOTHING to bugs, you actualy have to "kill" the bug (mosquito, fly, etc) by TORTURING it, you will find yourself pressing the 2 buttons for as much as 10-20 seconds in order to kill the bug, if you just zap it for a few seconds you will only torture the bug, like giving it an electroshock and leaving it with epilepsy.. A HUGE WASTE OF MONEY.

I don't understand why to kill has to be "fun". If you want fun go and play a video game or go to a movie...
Peace please...
