Most helpful customer reviews 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Better than its manufacturer! By Leslie J. Quinn We purchased this to try to address moisquitos getting into our cabin and bothering us at night. It picked up quite a few, although they still bothered us as well. But out of the box, the black light didn't work. As the text stated it was a new type, I didn't know how bright it should be. Called the 800 number and left a message. After a couple of days, opened it up and found the bulb wasn't plugged in, so plugged it in and then the light worked as well as the fan. The light and the fan takes some getting used to if you're trying to sleep in the same room with them, which we were. But three months later, I'm still waiting for Flowtron to call me back and address the question I had left with them. So the unit is OK, but the company isn't much on customer service (at least to this customer!). 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Not very effective By Tyler Durden I own both the Flowtron BK80D and this "Galaxie" model The reason I bought this unit was to avoid creating more noise (BK80D makes zapping noise). It does succeed in trapping small flying insects, just not enough. I see the "swarm" of insects around it, so the blacklight and octenol must be effective at drawing them in. I suspect the failure is the fan isn't strong enough to suck them in (evidence is little moths able to fly in/out and around it without getting trapped). I am ecstatic with the Flowtron BK80D - its a lean mean killing machine in comparison (piles and piles of insects fall to the ground). This unit barely got a handful after 2 months of continuous operation (and diligent octenol replacement). Sorry Flowtron, but this one is a miss! Pros: Quiet operation Easy to clean Cons: Not very effective at sucking insects in 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Simply not working By George Nevis We were eaten alive by mosquitoes while in the same room the lamp was on Have been using it for a month now and didnt catch a single mosquito. Total waste of money.
