This is amazingly useless. The black light is nice and attracts bugs from all around, but the zapper is so weak, the bugs crawl across the wires with no harm done. Piece of junk.

I was suprised at the other reviews this product got, but I do understand why. I use this product solely indoors to control mosquitoes and it works great. I've never used it outdoors because I have another similar zapper that's meant for outdoor usage. The latter product I would never consider bringing indoor because it makes way to much noise and you can actually hear bugs lizards etc. actually getting fried.

This product however works silently and does an excellent eliminating mosquitoes in our three bedroom home. I live in the caribbean by the way, where mosquitoes are an everyday problem.

I love this Zapper. I get all kinds of bugs stuck in it. When the light died after about a year,I could really tell the different without it. I will never be without one. Even though I have to replace it every two years. The light lasts about 1 year and Sunbeam says they warrantee it for two.

This is a handsome rechargeable battery indoor bug zapper which does work as an indoor bug killer. The problem is that it is a sealed unit. I purchased two units and within two weeks the bulb burned out on one unit. I can find no instructions on how this bulb can be changed. Without the bug-attracting light, the unit simply does not work.

First things first, I bought my first Sunbeam Cordless Rechargeable Bug Zapper about 5 years ago and only used it indoors for those little hard to get flying pests :) and it has worked really well. Now I'm about to buy another one here today, plus another Bulb since my first bulb just went out. I read through some of the other Reviews and read where someone didn't know how to change the bulb, my answer to them is VERY Simple just remove the 6 Philip screws on the back and carefully open it up watching as you take it apart so as to put it back the same way. Now remove the backlight cage and look under the bottom part; it has 2 more Philip screws to remove, once they are out just UNPLUG both top & Bottom and the old one is out. Just reverse what I wrote here, but with a New bulb and you will have your Zapper lighted up again.

I have a different model of the same product and it works pretty good. It kills a lot of bugs. I had it for a year and the bulb burned out. I was able to open it and now I am looking to buy a replacement bulb. I like the small spacing of the grid because it captures even the smallest insects. I tried the stinger but its large grid spacing zapped only huge bugs and left smaller ones hanging around.

I have taken it and leave it on all night with no problems, have even slept outside with it next to me and not needed any bug spray or other protective devices.

Probably not the best bug zapper in the world, but it certainly works great in a pinch. Especially when bugs get in the house. If you want something for daily use, this may not be the one, but if you need something light, portable and battery powered, this is a great buy!

I wish I had seen the other review before purchasing this. It is a waste of money.

You get a nice blue light that has yet to kill any bugs... Have had it plugged in for two weeks and I've got the bug bites to prove it...

I've used this product before, so when I lost it, I knew what worked. I
highly recommend this bug zapper, as it does work. When I set the table for a meal, and I see a flying insect, I plug it in and soon I'll hear a POP!
and I give a sigh of relief. When it's mosquito time, it's great to have one of these handy.
