Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Keep your patio barbecues, croquet games, suntanning sessions, and backyard weddings free from flying, biting insects. The Flowtron PowerTrap generates heat, moisture, carbon dioxide, and Octenol, a proven insect lure, which lure mosquitoes and biting flies. Vacuum action then sucks the pesky insects into a removable collection tray, where they dehydrate and die for fast, clean, easy disposal. Perfect for your patio, deck, yard, softball diamond, boat dock, tennis court, or any outdoor area up to 1 acre. Easy to operate and maintain, the PowerTrap contains no open flames, nets, or messy glue panels. It includes white LEDs that shine bright to lure the biting bugs in. Operates using the same type of refillable 20-pound propane tank you use with your gas grill (propane and tank sold separately). Computerized electronics automatically control all operation, including a handy “Set and Forget” feature that provides timed on/off settings that economize Octenol and propane. The non-clogging propane valve never needs cleaning. 14 x 14 x 10 inches. Made in the U.S.A. 1-year limited warranty.

(REAL NAME)   

I feel horrible. I convinced my parents to buy this machine for use on their property. They live in PA, right on the edge of the Deleware, so they get the infamous New Jersey Mosquito (it's Jersey's state bird). These suckers (no pun intended) are voracious! Well, they have a beautiful piece of property with a pond and pool and gardens, so it really was a shame to have our barbecues ruined by the Bloodletting which occurred come dusk. Enter this machine. Thought it sounded like a GREAT idea! My poor Dad tried to be a good sport with the thing. He kept it running, moved it to at least 5 different locations. Customer service even recommended putting sweaty socks on the machine and Dad gamely complied. For three months he ran the stupid thing (and ran through the propane I might add). And the machine did seem to ATTRACT them. You'd see them literally swarming around the thing!!! After spending so much time with the company on the phone that he had them on speed dial, I finally had to say Dad it's okay, the thing is a failure- let's just put this old dog to sleep. I think he felt bad for ME! What a guy! It's a year later and now we're back to lazy evenings enjoying the lingering smells of the grill mixed with the warm scent of Mom's moonflowers and the pungent DEET on our bodies. Ah well. Oh, by the way, my recommendation if someone tries to sell you this albatross?? RUN, AWAY, FAST.

1.0 out of 5 stars Truly As Useless as I Have Seen, November 22, 2006

By 

STBear - See all my reviews

After futiley operating for one summer, we contacted the factory. The unit would run and run but not trap many of the clouds of mosquitoes hovering around it. Unbelievably, we fell for the factory line that the unit needed an upgrade (for $80.00 more!). We sent it back, they sent out the "upgraded" unit. At first it worked just as poorly as the original, until ultimately it just wouldn't work at all...flashing lights, no fan, etc etc. What a piece of junk. Flowtron is simply preying on idiots like me who not only paid for a worthless product originally, but then paid again to try to have it fixed.
