Had a chance to use twice and works great! The bug has to be in a flat surface for it to work but once it's there it's gone and electrocuted! And do not have to touch it. Beautiful!

I hate chasing spiders, crickets and other creepy, crawlies that might get into the house. This bug vacuum works great..it has a long handle which gives you extra reach to scoop those nasty things off the wall. No mess. Its always ready because it recharges in its base.

I bought this to replace one I had bought years ago. The first one worked great, but after 4 years lost its suction. This new one worked great.... for a month. Then it lost its suction. I can't believe the difference in the two. I will not buy another one. But what I have found that works quite well is a swiffer mop without the swiffer cloth. It's hard enough to squash those nasty spiders, but soft enough not to damage the paint. It's long enough so I don't have to get close and risk a spider falling on me and the head can be angled any way I want. So if you need to kill spiders at a distance, save yourself some aggravation and a lot of cash and go for a swiffer.

This product does not work, I tried this unit on small spiders (less than an 1/8" in size)and they just crouched down. The unit could not suck them up, and I'm really trying to get spiders double their size.

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.
