OK for medium and small bugs in the right place Sep 02, 2006
By Richard M Estel
I bought this for my elderly mother, who lives right at the edge of a tiny town, and has a parade of bugs across the living room all summer.
The unit is a bit heavy for a person with declining hand strength, and the handle is a bit too thick. It would be better if it had some type of grip where you put your hand through an opening.
It works OK for small and medium size bugs on the floor or wall. Mother has lots of cellar spiders, and it's hard to capture them, because they build webs where the wall meets the ceiling. The webs also get into the unit. She also had an attack of ants, but again, they tend to make their trail in hard to get at places. They also invaded the kitchen counter, but it's awkward to use the unit at that height.
The big problem is that it does not kill larger bugs. I left the unit with her for a week, and she picked up a black widow. When I opened the unit, the spider was alive and well, and had made an egg sac.
I tried it on some large bugs that invade my home each summer - so-called "water bugs," but I think they're a member of the cockroach family. It picks them up fine, but does not kill them.
So analyze your needs before you buy. If most of your bugs are on the floor, and you don't care if the unit kills them or not, it should be OK. Also consider your hand strength and ability to grip the fairly fat, tapered handle.

 I hate spiders Jul 16, 2006
By JC_WA
I hate spiders. If I see one inside, I can't let it leave it my sight without killing it. People tell me to catch them and let them go outside. That makes no sense to me - they always come back.
I didn't have much hope for this but thought I'd give it a try. So far I've encountered 3 spiders over the past 2 months - 2 fairly large spiders, and one small one. Each time the bug vacuum easily sucked the spiders up and - this is the best part - electrocuted them. Two of the spiders were sucked in and dead within about 2 seconds. The other kind of hung around on the wall for a few seconds with no way to get away, then violently flew into the vacuum and was shocked to death. If you turn the vacuum on and off a few quick times after the bug's been sucked in (and likely already dead), you'll see little sparks shoot off the bug's carcass. It's easy to use and there's no splatters left on the wall.
Don't listen to anyone who tells you spiders are our friends. That's what they want us to think. They all need to die, and this is the perfect weapon.
I'm doing my part - what about you?

 I am embarrassed that I bought it! Oct 21, 2007
By waynedoc
I bought this bug vacuum with low expectations; it is even worse than I expected. We had hoped to use it for the occasional stink bug. It is bulky with a massive charger. Its vacuum power is best described as a gentle breeze. The best way to get the bug in the device is to kill the bug using another device, pick up the bug and drop it in the bug vacuum hole. I have not written an online product review on Amazon before; this product is so bad I felt compelled to warn others!

Don't waste your money!! Sep 12, 2006
By Gary Kelsey
I have a lot of low-voltage lights on our house. Many colors and different wattages, which I dearly love. Unfortunately, the spiders also love to build webs on the siding because flying insects are attracted to the lights. One night I used my Panasonic vacuum (which I love) and got over 30! The motor chews them up and spits the pieces into the disposable bag--I've never had one survive! Nice jolly subject, right? Often, I have to hold the vacuum in one hand (20 lbs.) while using the hose with attachment in the other. This gives me over 3 ft. of reach and the suction is so great that the insect is "gone" within 1" of the brush. OK, the Lentek is rechargeable, doesn't have a power cord and is lite (albeit unwieldly). After charging for a day the unit would pick up a 1/8" spider but nothing larger. After a minute of operation the suction is down by about half and you won't get anything then. Yes, I'm back to the Panasonic and the Lentek?---the "round file"!!

Impressively effective solution Mar 13, 2006
By D. Keller
"techie and tinkerer"
This unusually warm winter didn't seem to have the necessary bite to kill of many of the box elder bugs that start to swarm in great numbers around fall. This led to *many* of them invading my home and staining some of my trim with their, ahem, droppings. I got tired of squishing them, wasting a tissue for every 2 or three of the buggers and decided to drop the cash on this vacuum.
It's impressively effective. Turn the thing on, place the cup over the bug, and give the bug a nudge to dislodge it. Let it run a few seconds to zap the critter and then simply dump the recently deceased insect into the trash. Sometimes a toothpick is necessary to dislodge the corpse, but usually some vigorous shaking will be sufficient.
Don't expect to hear much "zapping", although there have been a couple of cases where I have heard some electrical snaps. There will often be a bit of a burning odor as the insect is being shocked. This might be the least pleasant of the side-effects.
The device is simple to use, effective, and is a nice, non-toxic alternative to pesticides or messy smashing. It will not replace standard chemical methods if you have a serious infestation and it won't work well on very small insects such as sugar ants, but it's great for the bugs you might encounter throughout the day.
