Verdict
This form of anti-mosquito measures are quite popular in the oriental countries like China, Thailand, Vietnam, Combodia etc. The device is reasonably light and easy to use. This comes as a mature product, and has good usability features. Given it comes at the price of two repellents, it is a good value for money.

What you should check before buying.
  1. Check before buying that the inner net (the thinner one) isn't damaged.
  2. Buy from a store which agrees to return within a day.
  3. Go home, charge the product for 45 minutes and go to a nearby pond, where you can find a lot of mosquitoes. Flash around the Net for 45 minutes, and if the battery doesn't die while doing so, then the product is new, and is a good buy. Else go again the next day and return the product.

Price : 120 - 140 Negotiable.
