Lately my house was somehow infested by flies, the big ones which can't quite get through the net of this thing so it seems a good fit. Operation The zap is very loud, so loud if you are dinning or reading next to it you can be shocked by that. However, be it loud it doesn't really kill instantly for most of the flies. They usually had their wings burnt off and can't fly anymore. In that sense it is effective in terms of disabling the flies from reaching your food. However, they may fall on the floor crawling around, though usually not really far away before they get tired and decided that's it. Also, the power cable is ridiculously short, you'd probably need an extension if you are hanging it off the ceiling or wall. Hygiene You might think this thing is clean from chemicals and should have little to no maintenance. This is partly true but the fact is zapping means micro explosion. It essentially quickly heat up the insect locally which sometimes lead to explosion of their bodily fluid, and it can spill and stick to the lamps and nets. I can already see some "thing" stuck here and there, and eventually I will have to take things off and clean it. Other concerns The blue lamp is very effective in terms of attracting insect, even for those which *did not* plan on straying into your house. That means, don't put this lamp near a window even with a net, as the small ones can leak into the house but then not necessarily killed by the bug killer, eventually increasing the bug loads. I would avoid putting it at a point which can be seen directly from a netted window. Read more

Recently, we had multiple bugs entered within house, mostly from the backyard garden, as we keep it open for long duration. Once these bugs are inside house, it's very difficult to through them outside, almost impossible. These bugs can infect food with multiple disease. After going through all the bug zapper product in the market, I decided to take this product. Now, I am glad, my decision was right to take this product. Very easy to put in place to take action. It also contains chains to hang the product on the wall. It does not take a minute to start this product and within 30 min, I can see 5 bugs are killed. Once I closed all light, it starts attracting almost all bugs in the house. After few hours of use, now I can feel, I don't need this product as nothing much left :). But I will still keep it running all the time, to get rid of a single bug in my house. Very easy to operate. I don't feel any sound, when this product is running. Only when it catch bugs, we heard a kill -noise. This gives indication that, house is now with one less bugs. Very easy to clean - there is small portion at the bottom with killed bugs, we just need to take it out and through the bug outside and put it back. I will say hardly 5 min task. Environment friendly - As these products does not use any chemical, so it's completely safe for my kid and everyone inside house can operate 24*7 without any harm. Not recommended to use this product for outside use, as it will catch a lot. Though there is no harm. Best value for money - There are many costly product in the market to resolve same issue, though this product does job very well with best price product in the market. I definitely recommend this product. Read more

I bought my first Aspectek zapper 4 years ago while my apartment was teeming with fruit flies. It has worked great and has only needed the bulbs replaced twice. I haven't had another infestation of fruit flies since I bought the first zapper. Now I have an indoor greenhouse which has become infested with fungus gnats, so I bought another one. These zappers work best in the dark, when they attract more bugs. However, they still work fine during the day. They will kill flies of all sizes, moths including clothes and pantry moths, and the occasional spider - anything that's attracted to UV light. I like the tray in the bottom which collects the remains and is easily emptied and cleaned. Overall the entire zapper is easy to wipe with a damp cloth AFTER you turn it off, unplug it and let the electricity discharge for a few hours. It comes with a sturdy chain to hang it with, or you can stand it on a table. The only drawback is that the power cord is only about 2 feet long so you may need a heavy duty 3 prong extension cord. I don't recommend installing this zapper directly above food preparation or cooking areas. When larger bugs get zapped, pieces of them fly out of the zapper. Also, sometimes big flies only get their wings burnt off and you may find the occasional fly crawling on the floor. Another issue is the sound. The bigger the bug, the louder the zap. My zapper is located on the opposite end of my apartment to my bedroom and I sleep with the door closed, but every so often a big zap will wake me up. So it's not a good idea to use this zapper in a bedroom while you're sleeping. What you can do if you have a room with a fly problem is put the zapper in that room for a few hours with the lights off and the door closed. That's what I do when I sometimes get flies coming in through the vent in my bathroom. Read more

Love this bug killing machine! We live in an RV with dogs going in and out constantly. Flies and skeeters flock into our RV. We’ve battled then with all the usual methods, then my daughter showed me her bug zapper and I ordered one. No more bugs! Lots of zaps and I have to clean the pull-out tray fairly often, but it’s a chore I enjoy doing due to seeing all the dead bugs. I will say that the ad states that it comes with 4 bulbs. Mine only had two that burned out after a year. I ordered the Shooting Star bulbs for replacement and they work beautifully. Just like the original bulbs did. My husband didn’t even realize I had replaced them as they are the same shade and brightness. EXACTLY. And my bug zapper is a killing machine again! Note: When you replace the bulbs, ensure you twist them far enough after insertion. If you do not, they will indeed flash, not burn, or blow. I think that is the reason for so many bad reviews on the bulbs and for some of them here cuz this thing is the greatest! Read more

I live on a mountain in the rain forest, in the Caribbean close to the equator. There are some serious insects down here! I've lived in the USA south, and they have nothing on these Caribbean pests! I was honestly SHOCKED how well this thing worked. The bug zaps are explosive (took a while - but the cats are used to it now). I have several other bug zappers in all rooms... But they are nothing compared to this one! I empty the bug-filled tray out once or twice a day - just slides out. And I snap the cover screen off to vacuum up the rest about once a week. Taking that screen off once a week is a must! Just takes a second to snap off. Great access - Easy to fully clean. The two bulbs in there lasted over a year and a half! It's on 24/7. Unfortunately, I lost the two extra bulbs that came with the unit. I was about to order two more bulbs on Amazon - But then realized it's a huge bargain just to buy another unit! A new unit comes with two extra bulbs. And there is another reason to simply buy a new unit rather than separate bulbs: Packing. It's a rough ride by boat to the Caribbean. If I ship bulbs here it's very likely they would break. The packing of this new unit along with the spare bulbs was very solid - Very strong! It's just worth it for the packing alone! I hope this helps. Read more

This bug zapper works great. It’s easy to set up, does the job quickly, and really cuts down on flies and mosquitoes inside. I like that it comes with extra bulbs, and cleaning it is simple. Solid product—glad I bought it. Read more

Great for country living! Pros: cost and effectiveness. We find lots of little insects and flies that have been zapped. Very effective! Cons: when something is zapped, it is so loud. People usually jump when it’s a fly for example. Also little kids can touch through the grid so be careful. Overall: worth it if you can ignore the loud zaps. It’s been helpful during country summers! Read more

Works great! Good value. Good construction. Bonus 2 extra replacement bulbs. I'm allergic to mosquitoes. We have one of these in our kitchen and one in our living room during the summer. Kills mosquitoes, house flies, gnats, fungus gnats (from potted plants). I don't like the annoying ZAP sound but it doesn't happen often and I'm allergic to insect bites. I like it! Read more

Wow! You know, I really wanted to provide a video of how well this Aspectek 20W Bug Zapper works, but seconds after plugging it in -- and I do mean seconds -- it killed its first fly. Within a minute, two more. It happened so fast that I couldn't even put my iPhone into video mode to capture it. So allow me to go back in time for a moment... I have had a huge fly problem in my home for quite some time. The problem is people and pets coming in and out of the house. The flies just flock into my home and they are all over the kitchen. I bought one of those battery-operated fly swatters, but using those require a lot of patience. You have wait for your prey to land on something and then hope that you can actually swat the fly before it flies off. When I felt "enough was enough" and that the problem was getting out of control, I poured over Amazon reviews for days looking for the perfect electronic bug zapper. This one from Aspectek seemed to have consistently great reviews. Upon taking it out of its packaging I noticed that it was extremely lightweight. It's also well packaged in the box with a nice amount of bubble wrap covering the unit to avoid damage. Additionally, the plug and bug tray are secured with locking tie wraps. You should have no concerns about your unit arriving damaged. The Bug Zapper comes with a small chain that latches on to side hooks. That was a nice bonus. I actually opted to hang this on an abandoned plant hanger in my dining area. Once unpacked, you simply insert the fly tray into the bottom of the unit and turn it on. It's that simple to have it set up within minutes of unpacking. Upon turning on the power, two black bulbs instantly light. As I mentioned earlier, it took mere seconds for me to see positive results. Loud crackles told me that it had captured its first fly. Indeed, there was a fly hopping around in the tray. It had lost one of its wings during the zapping process. It was going nowhere. Two more flies were instantly killed within a minute later and their dead carcasses were deposited into the tray. All I had to do was remove the tray and deposit the bodies into the trash. Yes, I have noticed that some flies do get stuck in the mesh. However, the mesh is electrified and the flies eventually are zapped dead. Yes, this does make a rather loud crackling noise, but it's not to the point where it's really going to make anyone jump. Really, there is more satisfaction to the sound than negativity. I understand from some reviews that bulb life is not optimal. There are very good instructions included on what kind of replacement bulb to buy and how to replace it. I suggest keeping those instructions in a safe place. One tip I can provide: unless you have a huge problem in your home, don't keep this running for hours on end. You can keep it running for 30 minutes a day and get rid of your fly problem. Remember: the flies come to IT. For automated homes, I suggest buying a WEMO plug. I just tell Amazon Alexa to "turn on bug zapper" and the unit automatically turns on. I also turn it off with a similar command. WEMO plugs also work with Siri. You know why this is so great? You can be sitting in your easy chair, be bothered by a fly or similar pest, and simply command your bug zapper to turn on without having to leave your seat. It's so wonderful knowing that your investment has paid off mere minutes after unwrapping. For this thing to work so quickly and effectively gives me immense satisfaction. This bug zapper not only works, but it does so tremendously well. Read more

I had issues with it stopped working after a week. All the lights on but no zap. They shipped me a new one free of charge and this one works well. I've had it running almost constantly for over a month. I'm not sure why some are complaining about the customer service, I spoke with them via email and had no issues. They wanted the old one back to test it but I cannot print the return label and my request for one went on answered but they have not harassed me for it back so I'm going to dispose of the old. Maybe others spoke to them over the phone but email was to the point and corrected quickly. So far it has worked on flies, gnats, mosquitoes, and moths. When I brought it indoors when I had a infestation of fruit flies it works on those as well. I'm not sure if it's the combination of the two colors of the lights but it does draw the insects to it. Read more

It's borderline flimsy but overall one shouldn't complain for the price. It's definitely sturdy enough to stand on your table. I got it mainly to deal with gnats, which have been a real nuisance lately. When I first turned it on, I noticed after an hour, there were two gnats on the bottom tray just buzzing around. A few hours later, they were still alive! So, I figured the UV light attracts them, but the whole point of zapping them didn’t seem to work. I ended up using my vacuum cleaner to suck them up. I decided to leave the zapper on overnight. When I woke up in the morning, I checked, and guess what? I had three dead gnats! My Arlo camera also detected a sound at 1.08 am which turned out to be a very loud zap sound. So, it does work, and I guess it’s better at night when it’s the only light source around, with no other distractions. Read more

This is the product you want if you have a fly or other flying insect problem. This will kill moths, flies and mosquitoes and probably others but I only have issues with those three. Less than a minute after turning this on it was zapping away. Almost like hearing a popcorn popper going. This is the second one of these I have had. The lights if left on continuously 24-7 lasted me about 8 months. If you have it on only at night when it works best then with the spare bulbs you should not need to obtain replacement bulbs for about 30 or so months. I will tell you that this device will make fast work of all kinds of flies and are particularly effective against those tiny ones you can barely see. In the first week I counted over 300 dead flies the last time I got one. I bought the second one because I loaned my original one to a friend who now doesn't want to give it back. So I made it a gift and ordered a second. This is a slightly updated version of the one I bought over a year ago. The assembly hardware appears slightly different and they now include a chain you can hang if by. Make sure you unplug this before you try to change the light bulbs. OH and there is a handy tray for cleaning. You will definitely want to empty that periodically. Do it gently as the flies don't weigh much and it is easy to dump them on yourself. A vacuum might work though I have not tried that. So how well does this work compared to other things I have tried? I have tried bug spray. That is pointless. Enough to kill all the flies would make the air unbreathable for 48 hours. I tried a cheaper solution consisting of a very small UV light and a piece of sticky paper. That was effective but on a very small scale and you have to replace that paper frequently. I ran out of paper in a week and then found I could not buy replacements. That item was about $10 so that would be $520 a year if you want constant protection. I tried one of those electric fly swatters that look like a badminton racket. It's the same idea but you have to chase the flies around all day because there is no UV light to attract the flies with. So that was a waste of money and I think I paid something like $25 for two of those. They were rechargeable but who wants to put all that effort into it? So then I tried this device and it worked beautifully. Nothing else completely eliminated all the flies in under a week. It took about three days to make the flies unnoticeable then it was just this thing killing them as they sneaked into my house, a few a day. For the whole time I had it going I never once had any but the occasional fly that would always find it's way to this zapper. A note, I live in a very warm climate conducive to insect infestation. In this area a lot of people have to tent their houses periodically to get rid of flying insects. This will prevent that from being needed at least for flying insects. My place is about 3000 cubic feet so not terribly big. I might suggest a normal size three bedroom house might be best served with at least two of these or possibly a third if your home is particularly large. Say at least one for every 5000 cubic feet of space. This will plug into a standard 110 outlet and uses a minimal amount of electricity. I have mine plugged into the same outlet with my refrigerator.
