Great for arachnophobes!

I am terrified of spiders, and this has been a lifesaver when I've been home alone and had to kill one! The tube is long enough that you can reach a bug on the ceiling usually without needing to get a chair or stool. And, it's long enough so you don't feel like you have to get too close to the bug -- which is good for me when I have to kill a spider. I have found that sometimes the suction is stronger when you don't use the cup attachment at the top. Some other bug vacuums suck the bugs into a cartridge that you have to replace, but this one is nice because there's no cartridge. The bug just get an electric shock and then you can shake it into the garbage or toilet. Sometimes I've had to pull the blue tube off and tap the device lightly on the toilet or the garbage can to get the bug to release. I had one of these before and it lasted about 5 years before its internal battery wouldn't hold a charge anymore. But, it was well worth the money, and I purchased a new one right away.

Piece of Junk

What a waste of money. Utter failure (wouldn't suck up the bugs, didn't kill them on the "grid"). Threw it in the trash. Don't waste your money. Use a shoe. That's what we're back to doing. Would give is zero stars if that were an option.

Great Bug zapping product!

This is a great tool. It zap the bugs, no matter what kind right up.
It is not so great on silver fish. All other are great. I love the suction cup keep bugs from getting away. I wish it were easier to get the carcasses out once dead, but as long as they are dead I can live with the rest. I would recommend this product to anyone who hates bugs.
I clean mine out after every kill. Because once they are zapped and you go to get the next one, you smell a little bit of burning going on.

SHOULD BE ZERO STARS !!!!! A PIECE OF JUNK !!!!

I BOUGHT TWO, ALMOST NO VACCUM, REPEAT; ALMOST NO VACCUM. MY WALLET WAS VACCUMED FOR THE MONEY I SPENT FOR THIS JUNK. WM.

Works great!

This Bug Vacuum works great to trap bugs and kill them fast. The unit has flat cup at the end to trap the insect and trap door that keeps them inside the tube. The bug is sucked down the tube to the electric bug zapper where they are eliminated. I have only had mine for a short time but have caught all size spiders and bugs. I even sucked up a large brown spider on my family room ceiling with ease. You if are scared to death of spiders and I am you will surely love this device- it really does work!

No more chasing bugs around your home! Bug Vacuum creates a stylish, high-powered suction that captures and kills unwanted pests. It is a safe, efficient and non-toxic alternative to costly, toxic bug sprays in your home. Low voltage grid built into the base kills bugs safely.

Lentek Bug Vacuum--effective and fun, too!

I purchased this product as a Xmas gift for my husband in 2007. He has gleefully utilized this product since. Although it lacks power in the suction department, it more than makes up for that with the electrocution panel that can be turned on when vacuuming live bugs. It is well worth having if only for the sheer entertainment value.

Barely Sucks after 9 months of use

This has been a very, VERY disappointing, expensive product. Very poor suction, either from inadequate motor or power supply unit. Takes--REALLY--10 mins. to vac a 1/2 inch. skinny spider, even from a flat wall. Price would be fair if this were an effective product--in this case it is a rip-off.

Are you kiddin me?

My wife is phobic about bugs. I thought this was the perfect gift. There are not alot of bugs around in the winter, but fortunately a spider showed up for his demise. I anxiously went for the "bug vaccum". I positioned it perfectly above the spider, I think it was comotose, because it did not move. I held the cover over the spider but the suction was too weak to actually suck it up the tube. I had to take off the cup and directly put the hose over the spider. Finally, the spider was sucked up the tube. Sorry, don't buy if you are a bug hunter.....Waste of $50.00

Nearly Useless

This product just doesn't work... It will suck a bug in, maybe, but it doesn't kill anything- and after a couple of minutes it won't have the power to suck any more bugs in. At best you can use it to go after the occasional fly or moth that's just out of hands reach, but don't expect you're going to do anything else with this.
