Product Description
The Racket Zapper electronic fly swatter eliminates chasing down flying insects or splattering bug parts on your wall. Instead, spot the flying insect and zap it. The bug should die instantly and drop to the floor.

 I bought two and they both broke in the first week November 9, 2008
I was hopeful based on other reviews that it would work. I had an issue with basic house flies that were getting in the house from outside. The racket uses 3 layers of screens, but this caused too much "wind" when trying to swat a fly out of the air. If you happen to hit one, the fly needs to touch two layers of screens at the same time to get zapped.
Since the racket is well... a racket-- you can't swat-to-kill when they are sitting on the counter. You just trap the fly and hope it walks on the racket and touchs the two layers... and then ZAP!
I bought two, since I knew my son would want to try when he saw me swatting... but they both broke. One just quit zapping, and with the other the plastic and layers started coming apart.
I missed the 30 day return window, otherwise I would have tried to get a refund.
 Very good product October 25, 2008
It's very effective against normal bugs flying around the house. Don't touch the racket when it's on though!
Sure miss October 18, 2008
My husband hit the fly with it several times and the swatter did nothing to it. The fly kept on flying. Others were right, the plastic is cheap and brittle, the hanging hook was broken by the time we got to it and it's never worked once. It was broken and defective from the first use. Now I'm trying to work with Amazon about a return.
Caution for Australian Buyers - Illegal Import October 16, 2008

I like to leave the balcony door open on my upper floor flat. The occasional fly likes to come in and aimlessly buzz around my lounge room; this gets a bit annoying when there are three or four circling above my chair.
My idea was to avoid insecticide with one of these Racket Zapper thingies.
It was seized by Australian Customs as a prohibited import. Among the many things not allowed are: "Hand-held electric devices that are designed to administer an electric shock on contact, other than cattle prods designed exclusively for use with animals."
Pretty silly given the device and the obvious intent behind the regulation, but it does fall within the letter of the regulation.
I might try a butterfly net instead. Can't see myself chasing flies with a cattle prod. Or mounting a public crusade to update the regulations to allow electric fly swats.

Much too fragile. Quit working after a slight bump on desk. Seems to me a device used to swat flying insects should be constructed well enough to withstand reasonable strike force.
