Electric Fly Swatter Racket - Mosquito Zapper Bat with Wall Mount Case | Rechargeable Bug Zapper for Indoor & Outdoor Use | Gray & Black (1 Pack) | Perfect for Home, Camping, and Patio Pest Control

I would like to start with this is a new brand of electric flyswatter to me so my review will be comparing it to the others I have owned. From the reviews I've read it seems there are very high expectations.For starters I usually buy a new electric fly swatter every year as none of them hold up. They are all made from plastic and we are swinging them around and probably running into things with it. They all make loud popping noises they are supposed to as that is what gets the bugs. The bugs DO NOT always die right away. Some do die right away while others get stunned but they do die within a few minutes or less. If the voltage was higher the bugs would actually explode and it would be very messy so keep that in mind.The reason I purchased this one is because it's October and my electric fly swatter broke on the side of a table. Bug season is not over and this had overnight delivery. The voltage was higher than my original. The design was a bit different but I gave it a go.I've had it a few days now and I've been impressed. The pops are louder meaning there is more voltage meaning it can kill/stun larger bugs. The design of the electrical grid is open as opposed to the layer netting of the others and I have noticed it makes it much easier to actually hit your targets. It's not as heavy or awkward at the end so it swings through the air much easier. One of my personal favorites is hitting a fly mid air, my mid air count has gone up and i like that even though that is probably just a me thing. The racket part it's is just a tad smaller than my original however it's still working better. I feel overall I'm hitting the flies faster and easier than with my previous swatter I'm not sure if it's swinging easier or less wind resistant lol but it's certainly getting the job done. Again all I usually replace my electric fly swatter every year. I've only had this one for about 3 days now but it feels more sturdy than my previous one that I bought at a box store. It swings through the air much easier and I'm hitting the flies much easier. Not sure about the battery life after 3 days but it's probably less than my original if the power is higher. It's kind of like a flashlight in that sense. If you have a brighter flashlight then the batteries won't last as long. I hope this helps.11-3-24 UPDATEI have emailed this companies support email address as the zapping has started to fail. I have not received a reply in over a month unfortunately. So much like the big box stores this product will only last you about a season and you will need to purchase a new one, It says it has a warranty however they don't respond to their emails so don't bother just get a new one or a different brand.
