Summary: The 18 month wonder
Comment: The first time I tried to clear the unit I had a l-shaped adapter. Damn thing blew apart. Low and behold, they had a different design, now. The unit worked ok for abot a year and one-half, then I started getting the famous error light flashing. I cleared it four times w/co2, got a new tank of popane, reset the regulator. The whole nine yards, but nothing worked. When I called tech support, all they could say was that it was an internal problem and to send it back at my cost and they would send me another at $130 = 19.95 shipping again. Then I said that's not bad for a new unit, to which she replied that it was refurbished. I asked why the could not send me the internal parts. Can't do it. Hey, what a deal. I passed on this golden opportunity. Maybe someone else makes amore reliable unit that does the same function.

Summary: Only works for one season
Comment: I bought three of these Mosquito Magnet units. They worked well for a few months then no longer worked by the end of the season. Three units, without even one working, says to me that this is a defective design. I tried to clean them with the compressed CO2 cartridges this week, in preparation for a new season, and all I get is the "fault" light. Don't buy.
P.S. I have never written a review about any product but I feel cheated by this one.

Summary: Works great if it works
Comment: I used this for one season. Unlike most of the people who have trouble restarting it, mine is an electrical problem with the unit. The light doesn't flash and the fan doesn't go on. Tested the voltage at the plug and it's fine... so the problem must be with the unit itself. I just wish they could make a reliable version of this thing. It's great that it is made in the US, but I buy a lot of generic stuff made in China that is more reliable.

Summary: Don't Bother
Comment: Don't bother. I've had mine for two summers. The first summer (when it actually worked), the effect was minimal. The second summer, it never would start up. I tried everything in the manual and online. Forget about real tech support or warranty work.
This is simply not a device worth your time or money.

Summary: Great product, poor support
Comment: I bought this unit because we have a lot of "no-see-ums" as well as mosquitos. Aside from the fact there were parts missing from the box and the instructions were rather ambiguous, it seemed to work very well. Attempts to reach the company via phone and email proved fruitless. For the first 2 tanks of fuel it did extremely well and virtually made our waterfront property pest free. Bought CO2 cartridges and cleaned the unit out and for whatever reason, it hasn't worked since. Further attempts to get troubleshooting tips from the company were unsuccessful as well. It getting where we want to start sitting outside so I guess I will start fighting the good fight and demand some satisfaction for my hard earned money. I noticed since I bought mine, they have come down in price considerably. Final thoughts, when it works it works well although it is a bit expensive to operate, when you need assistance they just aren't there for you. I found this rather surprising as their literature and product story is all about how smart they are but the end result is that it isn't very smart to abandon your customers.

Don't spend another summer covered in bug spray or trapped indoors. Enjoy your backyard protected by the Mosquito Magnet. Sprays, candles and lotions offer only temporary relief from mosquitoes and biting insects. The Mosquito Magnet biting insect trap is a long-term solution that is scientifically proven to virtually eliminate mosquitoes from your yard. It mimics a human by emitting a plume of carbon dioxide (CO2), heat and moisture, and a short-range attractant, octenol. This precise combination is irresistible to female mosquitoes (the ones that bite), no-see-ums, biting midges, black flies, and sandflies. As the mosquito approaches the trap hoping for a human, it is quietly vacuumed into a net where it dehydrates and dies. Silent, odorless, no mess. By using the Mosquito Magnet continuously throughout the mosquito season, you will be able to capture both day- and night-biting mosquitoes, thereby drastically reducing the mosquito population in your yard. 50-Foot low voltage cord included (burying clips included) Sled base Uses Octanol attractant One-year warranty Refill propane tank and replace attractant every 21 days. Empty net as needed.
