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.

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

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstar
Usefulness: star
Overall Rating: star

Pros: It's cheap, small and easy to use.

Cons: It is written on package that the coverage is 6-8 foot. Alough the gizmo was turned on, the bloody mosquito landed on me 4(four) inches from that apparatus and started to suck my blood. So it seems that it does not work on mosquitos in my area (northern Europe).

Other Thoughts: It is green. So if it falls of and you have to search for it in grass, it is not so easy to find (but as it is not so useful, you could forget the searching anyway).
Included strap is not long enough for normal person to wear it around arm.

Bottomline: Does not seem to repell so much the mosquitos in my area (northern Europe). So not very useful as mosquito repeller. Have not yet tested how affects on dogs, cats, mice...

Pros: - Really works (most important thing! lol)
- Cheap (as most DX items)
- 2 levels of repeller strenght
- Red led included (I dond´t know why, but its there! good to know then the batteries is weak)

Cons: Really poor building quality, the battery cover is very hard to close the you put the battery on.
The red led is too weak for any night help, but anyways It helps to notice when the battery is runing off
Anoying sound when put on maximum strenght.

Other Thoughts: No problemas at all, the build quality is not a great problem, This item is not for decorate anything, just to protect you from #%$#¨@$# insects.

Bottomline: If you need it, just buy, Its cheap, worth it!

Ownership verified by DX Not bad for the price

Pros: These units are small and compact. They do seem to do the job, at least for a while. (WHile the battery lasts, see below)
I tried it on a camping trip. While others were continually bitten, I only had a few bites all night.

Cons: Build quality leaves a lot to be desired. The battery back falls off (of mine) so needed to tape it on. Not a big deal. More nuisance value than anything.
Batteries only last 2-3 hours (DX bought). Perhaps better quality batteries will last longer, dunno. But for a pack of 5 x CR2032 here is only $0.95 who cares. Just get a few packs. Still cheap.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: If you want an electronic mosquito repeller, this is proabably as good as any. Just make sure you have a supply of batteries.

Pros: Funciona. Minha mãe é quem está fazendo os testes em sua residência. O aparelho não espanta os mosquitos imediatamente. Você deve usá-lo por um período de 10 a 15 minutos. Após este período o número de mosquitos tendem a diminuir.
Se for comparar com produtos químicos para passar no corpo, este aparelho é bem melhor, afinal, nem mesmo os repelentes químicos tem 100% de eficácia. Sem contar o custo benefício, é muito barato.

Cons: A única dificuldade encontrada foi fechá-lo após a colocação da bateria. É muito difícil fechá-lo, podendo vir a quebrar se não tiver cuidado pois é um pouco frágil. Acho que peca neste sentido.

Other Thoughts: É muito simples e eficiente.

Bottomline: Vale o investimento.
