First and foremost, this sleek device creates a 20-foot mosquito protection zone, making it perfect for camping or lounging poolside by the patio at happy hour. It’s fully rechargeable with a lithium-ion battery that provides up to 5.5 hours of continuous mosquito protection per charge (you can even charge it while it’s operating to extend run time). It also includes a 12-hour unscented, liquid-repellent cartridge that's easy to replace, plus additional 40-hour refills that are available at $21 a pop. And with four matte colors to choose from—including blue, beige, charcoal and black—you can rest assured that it’ll blend seamlessly with the rest of your outdoor decor.

“The effectiveness of the Thermacell Patio Shield is impressive. Within minutes of turning it on, I noticed a significant reduction in the number of mosquitoes around,” one Amazon shopper reports. “It's compact and lightweight, making it easy to move around or take with you on trips—[and] operating the device is straightforward. Simply charge it, insert the repellent cartridge, and turn it on. The LED indicator lets you know when it’s on and when it needs recharging... So far, it’s actually lasted six hours [as advertised]. Recharging is also quick and easy.”

Even better? Thermacell uses an independently tested and EPA-reviewed repellent that’s safe (and doesn’t require direct application to the skin). This makes it a great option for families with young children and pets—and the repellent is DEET-free, which makes it better for the environment. Another reviewer backs this, writing: “The smell is very faint and almost pleasant. I am sensitive to a lot of chemicals, but finding this product has allowed me to enjoy hours and hours of delightful outdoor time without worry or irritation from harmful chemicals or bugs.”
