Get it if you have a big yard with lots of bugs! I love watching the light show when a huge swarm gets zapped.
UPDATE:
2021 model comes with a control board unlike older units, mine did not survive the record hot summer. RECOMMENDED SOLUTION: Flowtron customer service would most likely replace but it was July 4th weekend.
WARRANTY VOIDING POSSIBLY DANGEROUS SOLUTION: My solution was to remove the control board and hard wire it like older models (no more delay to start or photocell functions, not really sure what else it did).
Some things to note:
1. It is loud some nights, I've had nights where all its doing is constant zapping.
2. Large Moths will sit on the outer shell, small moths get zapped.
3. Attach mosquito lures and change them frequently.
4. Sometimes insects will burn and smoke briefly.
5. Place unit away from structures and populated areas of your yard. This beast attracts alot.
Even with these issues I've encountered, I would still rebuy this unit in a heart beat. No other zapper I've tried has worked as good as the flowtron.
