Pros: none
Cons: unreliable unit after only 2 months
The Bottom Line: It's easy to get excited about them at first, but then they fail. Don't waste your money.

| equusfreak's Full Review: SkeeterVac |
I live on the edge of a lake and wooded area that is a mosquito producing haven. I purchased the SV-35 hoping to reduce the population even though I knew it was like using a fly swatter to kill an infantry division. Anyway, I set it up and went through one tank & caught only a dozen or so mosquitoes. I attributed it to being early in the season, so I put on the second tank on, and caught maybe 100. That tank, for some reason, ran out in 10 days. Undaunted, I put a third tank on, fired it up, and then noticed that the lights weren't flashing and the fan wasn't operating, even though the engine was running. I called Blue Rhino, and the first person said the engine was probably bad and I'd need to replace it, which they would do if I had proof of purchase. After obtaining such, I called back and they said that I had to take out the fuel filter, and clean out the fan (although I could see that it was not clogged), then call them back again. I had read other opinions that stated that the units were trouble and had hoped that mine wouldn't be one of them. I was wrong.
