Zappify Z20, totally useless

I opened my new Zappify Z20 pro, read and followed the instructions and turned it on.
I had mozzies all around me but not a single one went for the device.
I squatted 10 with my hands before throwing it in the bin.
Totally useless and a very expensive light, the 10hr battery life only lasted 45mins without the lamp turned on !
Don't waste your money like I did.

Crappy piece of JUNK..DO NOT BUY…

Crappy piece of JUNK..DO NOT BUY ONE!!!! Did not kill a single mosquito! Took 15 days to arrive and when I asked for a refund they said I was outside the 14 days (What a joke)! These guys are out to rip people off and are con artists selling plastic crap that doesn’t work.

fake website!???

fake website! - you got to wonder!
After receiving the zapper and they don't attract anything really. I even put bait in them. the email is not responding and the phone is "disconnected". - yup, got scammed.
Well - I did find the emails (although no all of them) that they sent me in my spam folder. they are not working withme for the return... hopefully.
WELL .... (12/15/25) they finally got back to me - wth 2 email strings (one saying we haven't heard from you and we're closing the correspondence - yada yada. Finally got 50% refund. Sorry if didn't work out...?

The AI (no one breathing that I have…

The AI (no one breathing that I have found yet) customer service is pathetic. I have had three bug zappers quit working within one month of getting them (one was a replacement for one of the first four that I purchased). Two of which quit working within one month. After spending weeks and weeks fighting with the "robots" they finally sent me two replacements. One of those stopped working after twenty two days.) Now I am once again fighting with "AI robots" to get this one replaced. It has been going on for over a month now. This company brags about "100 percent customer satisfaction". It is actually "100 % customer dissatisfaction. If you are in the market for a Bug Zapper" please check out the company called Zapper Defenders. I got three of their zapper three months ago and have had no problems with them.

Total waste of money

I bought one of these a couple of years ago because I was getting bitten to hell by mozzies in an NYC apartment.

Absolutely useless. I did everything you're supposed to, set it up in a dark corner of an already dark bedroom aaaand... not a single mosquito was zapped. They were too busy still feeding on me to bother with this useless thing. I tried placing it nearer to where I was sleeping: same result.

Since moving out of NYC back to the UK (where we're not really troubled by mozzies, but do have other biting insects) it has managed to fry approximately four harmless fruit flies and three tiny moths.

Don't waste your money.

Don't buy the Zappify bug killer.

We tried the Zappify bug (mosquito) zapper and it did not kill one mosquito or any other bug! We even serched and bought an attractant and placed it in the bottom of the unit, with absolutely no bugs killed!
DON'T waste your money.
We called customer service and they would not reimburse us do to calling 10 days over the 30 day window. Terrible.

Uv light does not attract mosquitoes …

The zappify website says that the powerful uv light attracts mosquitoes. It is a weak uv light. Uv attracts many beneficial insects but It does not attract mosquitoes. Uv is basically sunlight and skeeters are repelled by sunlight. I placed a Zappify 2.0 in a dark mosquito infested room. 24 hours later it killed one mosquito. Also, there is no confirm order option. You hit one button and your money is gone. No refunds. Awful customer service. Total scam.

ZAPPIFY POS

POS! Bought 3. Very slow shipping. At full charge they stay on about 6 hours. Takes at least that long to recharge. Have yet to kill their first bug.

We live in South East Queensland where we have a lot of mosquitoes in our sub tropical climate. I ordered two of these over a year ago and tried them in different locations both inside and outside the house and in the back yard during the early evening and they didn’t work at all - not one mosquito was zapped! These lamps only seemed to attract some very tiny bugs, not sure if these were sand flies,while we continued to be eaten by mosquitoes . No dead mosquitos! These were an absolute waste of money and a scam!

Don’t waste your money. Wish I hadn’t.

We ordered Zappify Pro. Took over a month to arrive. It wouldn’t take a charge so contacted the company. They offered to replace at no charge. Waited another 10 days to receive second. It also would not take a charge. I have asked for a refund and they have not replied. I believe this product is a complete fraud. Paid $50 for nothing.

Seen this commercial 2 times within 3 hours.
The first time it was a Japanese engineer, the second time it was a European engineer. Who after a long time of research found exactly this UV product, to catch mosquitoes and other insects.
And the famous 60% discount.
It's called DROPSALE: You order, then they order
