This is a good product for the money, although this was purchased as a replacement for the same exact model. The last one we had lasted 1 1/2 seasons before it stopped working (running 10 hours/night for 4 months). Will use the new bulbs in this one to see if the problem was the bulbs burning out or some other part that stopped working in the last one before ordering new parts and paying for shipping!

1 1/2 acre flowtron
product works as advertized but the unit i bought several years ago had a much longer power cord and all my mounting hardware was set up for that unit. i had to replace the cord with the one from my old unit. at the price they get for this unit you would think shortening this cord by eight inches is not justifed. i guess for first time buyers they would not encounter this problem.

This is an excelent unit, it self cleans itself,unlike another brand unit that is sold by Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes etc. that plugged up with dead bugs in a couple of days. This unit may need a little cleaning in 3 or 4 weeks. The one thing that the other brand had,that was very nice,was a slide cover over a sensor that could let the unit turn off during daylight,if desired. I ordered this bug killer after purchasing the other brand,which I quickly returned after seeing it's design flaw. I have also had an older FLOWTRON smaller unit for about 20 years which is still working well with the original bulb and killing bugs just as well as this new unit. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE FLOWTRON BRAND BUG KILLERS.

Very good after dark, dusk, not so much
After dark, I absolutely love this product. The very first day we used it, I noticed that we could actually be outside by the pool and not get eaten alive.

During dusk is a different story. Whenever the sun is up, this product does not attract the mosquitoes. I don't know if the octenol just isn't working, if it's just my area, or what. If you live in Florida and the sun is currently up until 8:30 pm, then this is a big deal. My wife likes to sit on the porch swing between 6:30 and 7:30. The Flowtron will not get the bugs at this time of the day. Around 8:15 as it gets darker, the bug machine gets very active and they leave us alone.

If you live in another part of the country where the sun goes down sooner, this will not be an issue for those of you wanting to use it after work. After dark, it's great.
