 Not perfect, but definetly handy! November 18, 2009
Jessica Collora (New Jersey)
My husband purchased this for me about 4 years ago, and it's still going strong. I've read a lot of the other reviews, and I'll agree with them on many of the negative aspects. Yes, it could be prettier. Yes, it could be lighter in weight than it currently is. Yes, the manufacturer should figure out a way to enable us bugaphobes to get those critters who hide in corners or on curtains more readily. But let me tell you this - I still depend on it, and I still like it!
When I'm home alone, I'm forced to kill my own bugs, and I happily run to get my bug vacuum to do the job. Living in an older home in the woods, you can imagine I get my fair share. Most bugs always end up on the wall where I can readily get them with my vacuum, even if that means being patient for a moment while they move. Granted, there is the occasional stubborn bug that will not budge from the corner, or from the curtain, but I deal with them on a case by case basis. Sometimes just nudging them with the tip of the vacuum will get them on the move to where you want them to be. Hopefully in the future we'll have the perfect model bug vacuum, but until then, this one is pretty terrific!
 Piece of junk November 6, 2009
J. Wessel (Louisville)
This is a piece of junk. It loses power very quickly and does not have any sucking power. Instead of wasting $40 on this, put it towards the Cost of a Dyson handheld. You won't be sorry!
 Not very useful November 3, 2009
Steve (California)
This bug catcher is not very useful. It has very little suction, so many bugs don't get sucked into the tube. Also, the ones that do get sucked into the tube are then sucked against an electrical grid and shocked, which results in the device blowing out air that smells like burned bugs. A small portable vacuum cleaner is more effective and pleasant.
Do Not Buy This Device -- It Does Not Work October 20, 2009
Pat Choate (Washington VA)
The suction in this device does not work. Too weak. Find another product.
Bug Vacuum is worthless October 12, 2009
John W. Aldis (Shepherdstown, WV)
This was as surprise. The first hint came when the item was received and it was clear that returning the product was not going to be an option.
This device has almost no suction. You have to knock the bug into the tube and sometimes even push it through the baffle on the end of the tube to get it to fall into the tube. Just putting the end of the tube near the bug does nothing but give the bug the opportunity to fly away.
After a few seconds the noisy fan motor quiets down considerably. That means that the almost minimal vacuum power is reduced even more as the weak battery gives up. The bugs seem to enjoy crawling around on the built-in "high voltage" zapper. It certainly doesn't kill anything.
I have no idea how this product even made it to the market. The concept is great. A small, relatively powerful, rechargeable device which you can grap to suck a bug off the wall or ceiling. The bug vacuum does none of that.Bug Vacuum
