YISSVIC Electric Fly Swatter 4000V Bug Fly Zapper Racket Mosquito Fly Killer 1500 mAh 3 Layers Mesh with USB C Cable Stand Base for Indoor Outdoor

Had to write a review after purchasing and using over the last twelve months. Wasnt sure it would would be as effective as it is but having used it many many times over the year for swatting I cant recommend enough!Charges rapidly lasts a long time and is perfect for those pesky infestations of flies and wasps that enter the house and cant find their way out again! Strong and sturdy design, you have to chase bluebottles but once theyre cornered the swatter quickly sorts!Emits a blue light at nightime if you leave it on and stood in its stand attracting nuisance insects, but can be used as needed free from the stand when you have to hunt down the flies! Great product, well made, great price!

Will kill the biggest of insects, super powerful. Good quality for the price. Cant fault it.

I am suffering from an invasion (tens every hot day) of what is probably the awkward cluster fly: they certainly are awkward, in that if I open a window to let them out they promptly fly in the other direction.Fly spray only seems to annoy them, and I don't like using a lot of it around either myself or my pets.This electronic swatter does work well, though it does take some learning to use and it isn't as completely humane as I was hoping.(N.B. I know the jury is out on whether or not flies feel pain, but it seems rash to ASSUME that something with such a highly developed sensory system cannot).Firstly, the stand isn't a charging dock: rather the swatter charges from a USB plug. This doesn't seem to matter if using it as a swatter because it still retains the first charge after a good thirty or forty uses. Secondly, it does take a little time to learn to hit the flies squarely and firmly, but it does also seem to be a straightforward matter of practice.I've generally used it in the fixed on position because I find it awkward to hold the press button down, but this doesn't matter much. It isn't what the instructions say but it works. (The instructions are in bad English, which clinched my giving four rather than five stars, but they are decipherable).With something the size of a cluster fly, it can be annoyingly difficult to get a clean kill. If the fly gets caught in the meshes, there will generally been several loud sparks of baby lightning, and the fly will start burning. I've had no problems simply tapping these dead flies out into bin or toilet. The smell of burned fly isn't nice, but I find it difficult to believe that any fly caught like that knows what hit it: it goes in seconds from living to completely dead. It feels brutal, but most genuinely humane methods of killing animals feel like that.More commonly, however, the fly will bounce off and drop to the floor in circular convulsions, from which I have seen them recover. I am not sure what is going on here. I have been able to pick most of these flies up and either squash them firmly in a piece of kitchen paper, or drop them back onto the fly racket for a further, more immediately effective shock. I have occasionally not been able to find a dropped fly, and sometimes the racket has gone off, but the fly has been apparently unharmed or merely slower: it is impossible to guess the injury level in such cases. With so many flies, it is difficult to keep track of the one hit.However, for the most part, I'd still reckon it is probably a lot better than flyspray or traps on the humaneness scale in general, as it is much quicker when it does work, and flyspray has its own share of oblique hits. Traps are generally very slow. And I have gradually become better at hitting them hard, though there is still a lot of room for improvement.I think it probably is a lot more effective for getting rid of this type of fly than spray, though it may depend on a lot of variables, and, as I say, cluster flies seem annoyingly indifferent to the spray I'm used to using.I haven't had a shock from the swatter yet: it seems to be well designed and well guarded. I feel it is necessary to be careful of the fire risk, however. If it can set a fly burning within a few seconds, it might set light to paper etc., in much the same way. The burning flies themselves don't seem to be a fire risk, though I was initially a bit concerned: they char when actually stuck in the racket with a current running, but I've picked them up in my hands straight after without problems. There isn't much volume of fly to really get hot enough to cause anything else to catch fire, and there is not much fuel in a fly and a lot of liquid to damp it out, once the current is removed. However, the water in the toilet does seem the most secure place for a recently charred fly! Also, if you have nervous pets (or children) this may not be the best thing to use around them because of the loud, sudden noise. I can't imagine using it as a passive insect killer because it would not really be passive, between the fireworks and the smell. But perhaps these are less of an issue when using it on things like mosquitoes, which are much smaller. (My current cluster fly invasion consists of flies which are, in general, a little smaller than a greenbottle blowfly).If you're happy with the fact that effective use takes some learning, are not bothered by fireworks, and are not too squeamish about handling/squashing flies when necessary, then I recommend it from every point of view.

Great product, as described, kills flies in an instant

Great item can be used in different places

LIKED - easy and quick to charge and could be left on charge, on stand, safety cover though still needed to be out of childrens' reach, cover also allows you to sweep over walls,curtains etc to clear flying bugs. Killed bugs quickly and efficiently every evening after we closed windows and doors and continued to zap through the night while plugged in on it's stand.Must be kept out of childrens' reach.

Doesn't charge well, had it on charge for over 4 hours and it barely held charge. Not the best I have seen for the money I spent. Quality doesn't feel great, very flimsy.

We recently moved to a more rural area and that means we get more bugs in particular flies entering our home.With a few unseasonal warm days recently there has been a late Autumn hatch of flies and they have been really annoying us, particularly in our conservatory. We didn't want to use sprays particularly as we have a dog.So I ordered this fly swatter. Only had it a couple of days and it is already well used. The good news is, it works as described. It is best to wait for the flies to land and trap them between the device and the surface. Flailing around whilst they are flying doesn't really work for me.Not all of them are dispatched with the first zap. This may be because they don't get the full charge. Persist is my advice. If you get the body on the charged mesh properly 1st or 2nd time it works like a charm.Note if they get trapped on the mesh you will smell burning and there may be a touch of smoke.So far highly recommended.
