Pros: * Quite sturdy
* Quite easy to use
* I bought 2x D cell to 2xAA battery adapters and it works like a charm without having to fork out for those big D expensive batteries
* It is a bit challenging for bigger flies, but for small fruit flies (very annoying) works like a charm!

Cons: * Although the plastic and the wires inside feel cheap, it is quite sturdy and should be durable. The actual net wiring feels quite well built on the good side.
* Long handle makes it bigger than it needs to be. Big handle and small net
* Would have preferred a bigger LED to point out when it is in use

Other Thoughts: An awesome little racket that otherwise would probably be prohibited for sale in Australia. If you only use it at home it is very safe, just keep away from hell bent kids and babies.

Bottomline: A great buy and lots of fun chasing flies around! Guests at my house are almost always impressed and they want to go after some flies themselves! lol

Pros: - It is nice to do what it is supposed to do.
- Batteries last for a long time.
- Really fries up to average sized insects.

Cons: - Two AA batteries are too much for the device's purpose. I saw similar products with built-in rechargeable batteries and outlet plug for recharging for the same price (not at DealExtreme).
- I didn't drop my one on the ground, but it would certainly break into pieces, since the plastic is very hard and brittle.
- Gets very heavy with the two AA batteries inserted.

Bottomline: I found similar products for the same price around here, but with better build quality and better features (specially the built-in recharger and battery).

Pros: Works as described. Kills bugs in a single swing! Death by electrocution, kind of satisfying... as well as stinky... but, satisfying...

Cons: Build quality is a little suspect. Mine arrived with the outer metal mesh sticking out from the plastic frame. Just bent it back in, still works.
Batteries had to be forced in... and it takes D size batteries, which make the handle very heavy. This makes the racket harder to swing quickly, which you sometimes need to do to catch insects.

Other Thoughts: I actually took the entire thing apart because i thought it wasn't working. The build quality was average. Anyway it was working, I was just putting the batteries in the wrong way (duh!!)

Bottomline: ....

Pros: Last time I had this much fun I was 10 years old & using a magnifying glass to burn ants! Brings back the kid in you. Mmmm, the smell of burnt bug. Oh yeah, it works Really Well. Used it on some nasty wasps and they usually knock out after the first swat; I just like to keep them on the zapper, holding the button and watch them smoke, just to make sure their dead =)

Cons: Yes, they are cheaply built. In fact mine arrived in two pieces, but nothing a little 2-ton epoxy can't hold together. You wouldn't want to hit any surface real hard with this, it is cheap, but you get past this dilemma by using a controlled swat, as opposed to a "IT'S A BUG DIE!" kind of swat.

Other Thoughts: I didn't even bother using D-cells in this. For 1, too expensive & For 2, You Want More Frying Juice! The answer is the 2*AA to D-cell adapters (SKU 22082). So you increase the voltage from 3 volts to 6 volts, NICE!

Bottomline: I'm buying another one...
