Cheers Ian - just bought one and a pack of refills and got 15% off (£18 posted) so should see me for most of my summer fishing . . .
Have been using the Wolf mozzie zapper but its nothing more than a glorified moth attractor so my usual bullet proof MAX Deet spray and some headache inducing coils have been doing the business . . .if I can negate these two items with this kit then fantastic!

There is the original Skin So Soft which has a decent amount of citronella in, and a newer version which has less or none and is not such a good repellent. It is difficult to find the original in the UK, but Avon Poland was still selling it.
It might be worth an ebay or Google search for the original

Whatever amount of citronella never going to be as effective as deet if your exposed for a few hours.
In countries where malaria is prevalent they recommend products with 50% deet.
Though nothing is 100% foolproof garments with insect protection are also helpful.

I have used it in Greece USA
Spain France Thailand and the Philippines to name a few and its been amazing but you do need to re-apply it after 4 hours

I got one last week after reading this, and two packs of refills. I used it for the first time Sunday night. I would guess that the two AA batteries that come with it, will last a long, long time... They only run a very small fan, it barely moves, so cannot be consuming much power. It's just enough to blow the repellent off of the pad. Does not smell much, certainly not offensive in any way, although the sound of the fan is just a little annoying.
I did not see a mozzie at all and did not get bit. Seemed to work well.

Did you hang it in the doorway or just put it on a bucket next to your bedchair?

Sorry all been away in France last week and had this little unit running every evening and night when the mozzies were at their worst, didn't have one bite and the batteries nearly lasted all week which was about 12 hours running a day, I had it positioned near the back of the bivvy hanging from the zip on the rear vent.
