Eazyzap LED Fly Killer 15W - Black & Aluminium - Coverage 50m2 / 2 x 4.5W Bulbs

Kept our kitchen fly free all summer. Catches lots of flies. I quite like the neon glow, which is a good night light when popping into the kitchen in the evening.

The fly zapper is delivered in a large cardboard box stuffed with brown paper. The unit is quite heavy at just over 2kg and measures 8.6 x 35 x 27.2 cm. A simple chain is supplied with the unit which hooks onto plastic lugs protruding from the top of the unit. It can be hung from the ceiling but you need a very secure hook which will take the weight and it needs to be close to an electric socket because the cable is only about 2 metres long. (I don't have a socket that is suitable so I've ended up placing the unit on top of my fridge freezer which isn't ideal). There is a removable tray which catches the dead insects, it fell out when i lifted the unit up but was awkward to put back into place, (you have to get it very straight to slide back in). The unit is easy to turn on and off with a simple rocker switch. It emits a very bright blue light when on and is rather annoying. It makes a zapping sound when insects fly into it and they fall into the tray which is handy. The unit is fairly sturdy but the price £46.74 at time of review is quite high compared to similar products and I can't see why there is such a difference between this and others. The LED tubes are available on Amazon but they are supposed to last for 10,000 hours so shouldn't need replacing for quite a while. It works well and seems to attract flies to it so I'm happy with it but I would have preferred a longer electric cable and stronger connection for the chain.

Very happy with the zapper

This thing, it definitely kills the flies that land on the electric zappers. If ... they land. Even kept on all night, in the darkness, they are not attracted to the blue light. Bit of a disappointment.

Put on top of freezer so out of view you get used to sound of a fly hitting the zapper not too noisy just strange at first

I have a rather old bug zapper, and thought I'd replace it with an LED one as the tube replacement was getting a bit old. So I bought this, put it up, turned it on.... and the flies ignored it. After 48 hours it has burned one fly, presumably that wandered in whilst drunk or something. So I did some reading. Always my last resort. Apparently, flies live light in the 310-370nm (that's nanometres for any engineers out there, from work by Thimijan & Pickens, 1973) range and the highest frequency LEDs emit at about 470nm, with nothing on the range flies are looking for, and so it's no surprise flies ignore them. So, in short, I don't see any way this device can ever work as advertised.

Works well and looks good in the home

This is a review for Eazyzap Energy Efficient LED Fly Killer 20W. This fly zapper is actually really good. We have this on everyday, all day. We have neighbours with dogs and a fishing shop just down the road, so we tend to get a lot of flies in our area. The fly zapper doesn't make any noise, other than when it fries a fly. We currently have it on top of our fridge and it seems to work great there. There is a metal chain attached to the fly zapper for those of you who want to hang it. We haven't really seen any rise in our electricity bills since having it on, so I would say it is cost effective. We currently have this on a timer plug, so comes on at 7am and goes off at 10pm. However, there is a simple on/off switch that you can use to activate it. Overall, I am happy with this product, I do feel the price is a little on the steep side, especially when others, similar to this one are on the market for cheaper. But, it does do the job.
