" ... Metal Grid is exposed safety hazard without plastic safety grid. ... Only issue is one unit arrived with the plastic clips on the plastic grid broken off. ... This makes the unit unusable as it is a safety hazard without the plastic protective grid. ... "

" ... What a rip-off! ... "
" ... I walk out one morning and the plastic outer cage is in the grass. ... Two screw tabs were broken off. ... "
" ... Thought that maybe if the bulbs didn't light then the circuit wouldn't be complete but that's not the case. ... "
" ... I have only had this for a week and it has already broke . ... It's definitely not durable at all for it to break within a week and only used it three nights while we sat on our back patio . ... "

" ... However, buyers should note that the electrical cord is only about 4 inches long, making it nearly impossible to use without a 3-prong extension cord. ... "
" ... Also, the cord is only 1 1/2 feet long. ... "
" ... received 1st one and plugged it into grounded outdoor rated extension cord and it dint do anything, tried 3 different outlets and still nothing . ... "
" ... Even when I put this zapper right next to the outlet, the cord was still not long enough. ... "
" ... WTF, it has a 3 inch cord, it’s ridiculous and so hard to keep plugged in. ... Don’t try it and if you do buy an extension cord. ... "
" ... I go outside to find the plug to the zapper was on fire and melted to the extension cord. ... "
" ... It's ok item, it doesnt kill all the insects but most of them but the cord is too short and it would be better if that was longer ... "
