Works great in West Africa By Jesse I bought this for $15 off a fellow expat who was leaving the country, and boy am I sure glad I did! During the rainy season it consistently catches at least 20 mosquitos per day, and over the period of several weeks has greatly diminished the mosquito population in our yard. 1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Comparison of Flowtron to SkeeterVac and Magnet Liberty By bptexas First off, I live in the woods of NH, and I've read the success of these machines will vary depending on where you live. I owned the Flowtron MT-275 for 3 yrs. It did work and caught maybe 200 mosquitoes a month. Being my first ever trap I thought this was good. The unit finally stopped working after 3 yrs. I replaced the fan according to their support with no success. Flowtron support was clearly guessing at the problem and I decided to throw this unit out before spending any additional money trying to fix it. What a great move this was!! Advice to all....throw your Flowtron out if you own one regardless if it is working or not! I recently bought a Mosquito Magnet MM3000 Liberty and a Blue Rhino SV3100 SkeeterVac. One was put on each side of my 3 acres. Within 2 wk both of these units caught more mosquitoes than the Flowtron did in 3 yrs!! After 3 months now, the Magnet Liberty is by far superior at catching mosquitoes, but that is all it catches, and it does it well! I empty a full bag every wk, which must be 1000's. The SkeeterVac catches about 1/3 the mosquitos of the Magnet, however the TacTrap (sticky paper on the outside of unit) is excellent at catching other biting bugs, like the large black and green flies I have up here. After every 2 wks the TacTrap looks like a fully loaded pizza of bugs...very cool! The other nice thing about the SkeeterVac is that its cordless. However, the TacTrap and Fine Tune Biting (Octanol) will add to the monthly operational cost vs the Magnet. So far, following the advice of previous posters, I have not had any clogging problems. I replace the propane before it runs out so the units are not running on empty...which seems to be the main problem with these units. Bottom line, I like having both the Magnet and SkeeterVac units, and will never by a Flowtron again! 0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Yep, turn away, before it is too late! By Who's review is this? I took a leap of faith and bought one of these units a while back through Costco. Man I want to like this unit, but it is impossible. As expected, the fan went out in about a year. This is pretty consistent, and I figured, well, I'll see if I like it, and if I do, I'll just replace the fan when it fails. Not entirely a bad deal, since the fan is $44.95 or so, and this is one of the few Mosquito traps that combine LPG, octenol, and some electronic sounds/lights.But the company can't get out of its own way. They're a bit hard to reach to begin with, but the only way to get a replacement fan for this unit is to mail them a check! The single customer service representative who seems to reply to email and answer the phone (Shelly), isn't setup for any type of payment, even though they run an online store for accessories. And on the accessories website, they don't sell parts, just accessories. With every single review containing stories of fans failing after a year, how much trouble would it be to carry the fan in the online store? And keep in mind this is YEARS after reviewers started reporting fan failures. What an idiotic company.I really wanted to keep this sucker, but alas, back to Costco it goes. Costco's stopped carrying these, so no wonder why. For folks who haven't bought from Costco, Flowtron surely must have extracted a lot of money and grief with this stuff. Here's hoping justice is served by their departure from the marketplace.Seeing another review in this thread, I guess I'll try a liberty next. See all 4
