Thermacell Radius mosquito repeller review: shockingly effective! MSRP $40.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “The Thermacell Radius is an effective way to fight back mosquitoes in a small package that won't plague you with the smell of fried insects.” Pros Cons Depending on where you live, you’ve either had a beautiful reprieve from mosquito bites, or you’re being eaten alive. But one thing is true about these bloodsucking bugs: they always show up in force in the end.
How does it work? The name says a lot in this case: “Therma” refers to heat generated to vaporize a liquid solution in that swappable cartridge, “cell” pertains to how it gets its power from a rechargeable lithium-ion battery cell, and “Radius” is a nod to to Thermacell’s claims of providing up to a 15-foot circle of mosquito-free protection.
Hit the power button to start. Thermacell says it will take about 15 minutes for the repellent to waft into the air and start repelling those pests. Wary of a potential placebo effect, I asked others in our group if they noticed any difference, and in the end, we all agreed that it provided a noticeable reduction in mosquitoes.
Battery life and charging Thermacell says the battery should last about six-and-a-half hours on a full charge and I found that was accurate. Charging a fully drained Radius took an astonishing five hours, but you can leave it on while charging if you don’t mind a slower charging speed. That’s probably the device’s biggest downside — that it takes almost as long to charge it as it does to wear it out.
When will there be an app for that?
Good strong fan works a lot better and cheaper.
