Amazon.com Review
Keep the bugs away from your next barbecue without resorting to unsafe insect sprays. Designed on the premise of a flyswatter, this handheld bug zapper is shaped like a tennis racket and kills insects on contact via an electric current when they touch the surface of the "net." The zapper operates on two AA batteries and, for safety, activates when you simultaneously press the two buttons on its handle. The bug zapper is safe for either indoor or outdoor use; however, people should exercise caution when the zapper is activated as it will cause a shock. --Cristina Vaamonde

cheaply made piece of junk. worked one week. now it's over. even while it worked it wasn't good. never killed the fly, just tortured 'em. i don't like flies, but i'd rather kill 'em in one whack. this thing slowly cooked 'em.
If you oppose the death penalty and electrocution, you'll have a problem with this one... February 17, 2010

You will discover a part of you you never wanted to know.
The sheer, unmitigated pleasure of frying something living. The fact that it's a gnat that just loves flying around your nose does not alleviate the moral issues involved.
And this from a person who has caught more than a dozen stink bugs in the house, and gently relocated them outside (and this even before finding out there is a reason for their name). Not to mention ladybirds and spiders.
The only thing that compares in pleasure is using my handvac to exterminate fruit flies in the summer. But playing electric racket might be even more fun.
So, yes, it WORKS! And yes, there is a sparkle when you are electrocuting them. The large surface increases success, though gnats are cheeky buggers.
Have not used it long to see how much it lasts, but I would consider a replacement if it broke down.
Death sentence for pantry moths! February 5, 2010
Squeal (Los Angeles, CA)

We have had an infestation of pantry moths and regular flyswatters just weren't cutting it. We got one of these and now our pantry moths are meeting their deaths on a daily basis. This bug zapper has definite advantages over a flyswatter. You can zap the bugs out of the air; you don't have to wait until they land. It should be noted though, if they do land, you can't smash the bugs like with a flyswatter. You have to place the zapper over the bug and move the edge up to the bug until they fly into the zapper. The bug dies on the zapper and you don't have a nasty bug smear on the wall to clean up! The Zapper also requires a two button press so it can't really go off accidentally (good if you have curious children.)
These work great against the aforementioned moths as well as flies. My husband also used it to kill a cricket that was invading our living room, but I admit I was too squeamish to watch that particular execution. This is a great bug killer. The only reason I left off a star is because this is our second Zapper - the first just died after about six months. So I don't think they are very durable, and for that, I left off a star. However, for the price, I don't mind replacing this twice a year, and I will continue to do so until every bug is gone!

These bug zappers are great and keep you from cleaning fly mush from the windows and walls! I prefer the ones with just one button to press since I don't have kids in the house, but that's easy enough to change with a little super glue on one of the buttons to hold it down. Don't buy the "safe" ones that have the two layer wires to keep you from zapping yourself. They don't zap the bugs very well either.
