This item is very useful for camping and hiking trips. The included armband is great as you wo'nt need to worry about where to carry the device.
.
Under "Mosquito" mode the device produces no audible sound and under the "Dragon Fly" mode the device produces a low frequency clicking noise that's barely audible -- they don't get in the way of normal activities..
.
Note that the packaging says the unit drives away "male" mosquitos. After investigating into this interesting topic, we've confirmed that the unit works the following way:

Drives away female mosquitos by generating the sound a male mosquito makes while flying. Pregnent (blood sucking) female mosquitos are highly disturbed by this sound.

Ownership verified by DX Not bad!

Involvement: General (knows how to use it) - Ownership: more than 1 month

Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: As previously mentioned, the battery cover does tend to fall off.
A small piece of sticky tape resolves this issue.
I have also got the key chain version of this product, & based on build quality, my preference would be the key chain.
Both work equally well & I have tested both in identical circumstances with excellent results.


Cons: The armband is a little too small, ok for kids & females. I can just about squeeze it on to my wrist.
For test purposes, I removed the armband & attached a key chain which worked ok.


Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: If you get bitten by mosquito's & don't like the smell of citronella, then this should work for you.

Pros: - Very cheap and unique, and i don't think one can find anything like this in North American
- Other than just being unique it works great, haven't been bitten outside the house since i bought it (But a couple of times inside the house when not wearing it lol)
- Quality's not bad
- Comes with armband


Cons: Nothing really other than the initial batteries that came with it ran out pretty fast.. I use it quite a lot, 3-4 hours a day. My 2nd battery lasted 2 week only as well (So it's a little energy sucker)


Other Thoughts: Buy it and mosquitoes will never touch you again


Bottomline: Would be cooler to come in some other color. Great item

Pros: This is a Digital Mosquito Repeller with Armband! Does it scare the mosquitos? No not were i live. To me its just a litle gadget who got a light on it and that makes a horrible sound. It does not work at all vs my mosquitos. But I still like it :D It might work better other places.


Cons: The thingy were the u put in the battery keeps falling off. Thats not good at all


Other Thoughts: It does not work. But it makes a sound and it makes a noice so its cool. I still like it!!!


Bottomline: Just buy it. Its cheap, and it might work for you. But it does not for me :(((

Pros: The pros of this product are not many. Item comes with 2 modes, One which makes the sound of a male mosquito and one which makes a dragonfly sound (which is a alternative sound to deter the mosquitos NOT for repelling dragonflys lol) Package explains everything clearly.


Cons: Neither Mosquito or Dragonfly mode will deter the mosquitos out here in Ontario. Cheap enough for me not to care that i wasted my money haha


Other Thoughts: I might say this reduces the ammount of mosquitos that WILL bite but its so hard to tell :P


Bottomline: Too hard to test, No real definate conclusions, Not a bad buy.
