EMERSON BUG ZAPPER By SilentWarriorBear This unit [Emerson Indoor/Outdoor Cordless Rechargeable Bug Zapper] sucks big time ...When it worked it did the job very well ... The light started flickering very shortly after I received it then burned out ... It cannot be replaced ... Oh by the way CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THEY WOULD ''BE SENDING A NEW UNIT'' but I never received it ... This only compounds shoddy equipment by a lying customer service ... My recommendation is to stay away and look at plug-in-the-wall units that you can replace the light (source) ... DON'T BUY THIS UNIT !!!! ... IF YOU BUY IT YOU'LL BE SORRY !!!!! 24 of 26 people found the following review helpful. The problem with these zappers is new bulbs are TCLP compliant and don't attract bugs anymore By WPL This Emerson zapper looks (from the picture) just like the old Sunbeam zapper. I've had a couple of the Sunbeam zappers for years. They worked better than anything else of that size in the house. I kept them on all the time because they catch little bugs that you don't know are there. I would clean the dead bugs off the wires every day, usually 5 to 10 little bugs a day. These lights were very valuable in alerting me to infestations of little, tiny beetles. One day I'd see a couple of the tiny beetles caught in the light, and then the next day a few more, next day more... Then I realized I must have a problem and I'd search around everywhere until I found the source of the infestation. Without the zappers the infestations would have gotten a lot worse before I would have realized that I had a problem. But, on the downside, the bulbs (F4T5/BL) don't last too long, only a few months, AND, the bulbs are a pain to put in or take out of the unit. You have to take the unit apart and mess around with it. Now, the last batch of F4T5/BL replacement bulbs I bought did NOT work in attracting bugs. The only difference I could see in the new bulbs was a little TCLP printed on the bulbs. This means the bulbs are TCLP compliant, which means they are more environmentally friendly (have less toxic elements I suppose), but they don't attract bugs anymore. With the old bulbs I used to have to clean the bug zappers every day and with the new bulbs the zappers don't need to be cleaned for weeks. I discussed this problem with my supplier and he said that mine was the only complaint he had and that these were very popular bulbs and he sold a lot of them, especially for nail drying, and if there was a problem that he would have heard about it fast. But they don't work for me. I wonder if all manufacturers are being forced to move to TCLP Compliant bulbs? If the bulbs don't attract bugs then these zappers can't work. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Alright but not worth the money By justme The bug zapper worked for about a day and then just didn't charge right. Contacted the company and they were pretty responsive as they arranged a switch and actually sent me 2 in its place. Since then, one of the chargers has failed to work. The product actually works on small flying insects but we were still getting eaten alive in the backyard with the zappers right near us. See all 25 customer reviews...
