" ... I've had over a month and the original batteries are still working after a lot of use on my boat and at home. ... "
" ... Batteries have lasted for over a month now. ... "
" ... Very easy to use and appreciate not having to buy batteries separately. ... "
" ... It lasts longer than the plastic swatters that radiates bacteria, and all I have to do is change the batteries when needed. ... "
" ... So I put lithium batteries in it and it works great. ... "
" ... The included batteries were holding enough charge to deliver a full week of zapping activities. ... "
" ... I got so addicted to killing the yellow flies that I had to change batteries often. ... "
" ... I also like how the product comes with Duracell batteries unlike other products with just no-brand generic batteries. ... "

" ... The metal tines fell out within a couple of uses- very disappointed with the cheap quality of this product. ... "
" ... I’m just going to stick with normal fly swatters for now - since this thing is a hard plastic racquet you can’t just swat at bugs with it, unless they’re in the air. ... "
" ... I actually tried to reassemble the various lengths of wires in the proper order, but the frame wouldn't stay snapped together. ... "
" ... It fell apart when I was using it to swat a fly and the small metal pieces all fell out. ... "
" ... Dropped it once and all the bars popped out and doesn't seem to work now ... "
" ... Well, the zapper fell off a chair and a bunch of the wires sorta popped out. ... That said, I was able to pop the wires back into place after some careful prodding. ... "
" ... I just tap it over the trashcan and any mosquitoes still attached just fall right off. ... The mosquitoes get knocked out and fall on the racket. ... "

" ... Wires are close together. ... "
" ... The zapper wire is just made up of horizontal straight lines so they're easier to clean than other zappers. ... "
" ... When received it would of thought it would work and found out it was a lose wire but fixed it and now it works like gold ... "
" ... I was a bit skeptical at first first because of the size of the gap between wires, but this thing works really well for fruit flies. ... "
