Well, as you have probably seen from the above reviews, All Out just does not do what it claims, i.e. drive out/ kill mosquitoes. Let me share with you a little story...
When I first bought an All Out machine with refill, I loved it, for here was somethnig which didnt emit smoke (like a coil) and you didnt have to refill it every night (like replacing a mosquito mat). And it worked as well... sort of... mosquito bites reduced by nearly 80%. And the smell was'nt too bad either.
But then came the bad stuff... which is a lot, I must confess.
First things first, the '60' nights refill lasted max only about 40 nights, that too with the regualted (lab-rested) 8 hours usage per night. So in reality a 45-night refill lasts max 30 nights, so you are not really getting the value for money you deserve.
Secondly is the fact that the mosquitoes have become resistant to it... after about 6 months of usage I find mosquitoes happily flying around me, buzzing in my earing and biting me often at night (ouch!). I switch on the All Out and... voila! They STILL keep buzzing happily.
Thirdly is the quality control problem... I have tried 3 different refills, from 3 different shops, and none of them would work, as in I could not find any smell from them, so they wwer not vaporising. I thought it was a problem witht he machine, buy I tried it on 3 different machines (inclusing a new one) and they still did not vaporise. Also the machines seemed to die out in a year or so.
So there, I ahve said it, All Out does not do what it promises, so I have relied going back to mats, which work slightly better.
But if you want a solution to the mosquito problem, here are very few... you can keep a Netlon on your windows to prevent mosquitoes from coming into the house, perhaps use the very smelly Odomos, or my favourite (its also good exercise) use those Chinese made mosquito rakets which roast them to a crisp... trust me, the smell of a burnt mosquito really makes you happy , in a sadistic sort of way ;).
