The Executioner Pro Fly Killer Mosquito Swatter Racket Wasp Bug Zapper Indoor Outdoor Over 55cm Long

This could very well be the very BEST, electric swatter on the market. HOWEVER, there is some competition! Enter in to the ring: Elucto. Elucto used to be offered on Amazon, but at the time of this writing, it is no longer available (but you'll likely find it on Ebay). I wrote a review for Elucto where I declared it the best, electric swatter on the market. Now comes the new challenger: The Executioner. I bought this one after reading reviews and watching YouTube videos and felt impressed by it's great performance and build quality, from what I could tell.Having used many electric swatters, I feel I'm a bit of an expert on these things. Straight off the bat, I can tell you that any swatter that uses single layer bars, no mesh and takes 2AA batteries (as opposed to charging) is automatically the best kind of electric swatter and the only one you want to go with. The Executioner seems to understand this, as well, with how it's described on it's product packaging.So, which one is the BEST of the BEST? Well, honestly, that's really up to you. If you can get both, I'd say get both. Both of them have their pros and cons with more pros and very little cons. So, let's just see how they stack up in comparison to each other:The Executioner:Pros:- More powerful- Better build quality- Easier button to depress- Humming noise let's you know it's on/working along with a light indicator- More comfortable in the hands/easier grip- Better nameMinor cons:- Slightly smaller grill area- A little bit heavier- Bigger handle gets a bit in the way on big, flat surfaces- Slightly thicker plastic that surrounds the grill- No wrist strap- No batteries included (at least not mine)Elucto:Pros:- Slightly bigger grill area- Powerful enough- Very light weight- Smaller handle and thinner plastic around the grill allows for better killing of any size insects on big, flat surfaces- Wrist strap allows you to keep it on your wrist or hang it up anywhere with ease- Batteries includedMinor cons:- A little less powerful- Build quality is less, but acceptable- No humming noise, but has a light indicator to let you know it's on/working- Handle not as comfortable or easier to grip- Button not as easy to depress, but easy enough- Weird name (but no worries, there are weirder ones out there for electric swatters)So, you can see why I like both and if a manufacturer could take the pros of both and get rid of the cons, you'd have the perfect electric swatter! As it stands, these 2 are the best and you really can't go wrong with either one. But having both on hand would allow you to use the best one depending on the situation. For example, if a fly is buzzing in the air you'll want The Executioner to zap them good in the air! If it's a fruit fly on a big, flat wall, however, you'll want to use the Elucto to give very little space for escape! Both will work in each area, but one will be a little better than the other in different situations. The Executioner is good for one zap kills pretty much every time. Elucto will need to fry bigger critters a couple of seconds longer to guarantee death (just hold a fly or whatever down a little longer). And with all of that said, if you can find The Executioner Pro, I believe you will have a slightly better competition against the Elucto. The regular Executioner is great, though.

It works as advertised. Easy and convenient to operate. Highly recommended. Buy it!

Powerful!I bought this specific racquet to swat wasps on my back porch and because reviews on other racquets complained they didn't have enough power to take out wasps.I had the chance to test it out today and I am impressed! I managed to kill 2 wasps in as many minutes.Each one made a loud bang when they hit the grid, similar to one of those "Popit" impact sensitive fireworks you throw on the concrete on the 4th of July. They were also welded to the grid and made a subtle burning smell if I held the power button down for a few seconds, I tapped the racquet on the ground to get them to fall off.The grid is made of 3/64 in. metal rods spaced about 3/16 in. center-to-center. At first I was worried that the grid would be too large to work on flies but I managed to hit a common housefly while I was testing and that thing vaporized with a bang.It takes 2 AA batteries by the way.

During the past couple weeks this summer, I've had about 5 flies sneak into my place. I assume they are coming to escape the humid air and wanting to cool off. I killed several of them the old fashioned way with a slipper but decided I need a better way. That was the very first time I heard of such a thing as an electric fly swatter. After reading reviews of various swatters, I decided to get "The Executioner." With all the many reviews with the majority positive, I figured this is a good bet.About 15 minutes ago, I just "executed" the first fly with this electric fly swatter. The fly was in my bathroom and landed on a LED lantern which I use as a night light. So, I closed the door and went to fetch "The Executioner." Once I returned, the fly was on a counter door so I pressed the on button of the swatter to give "The Executioner" some juice, placed the metal wires next to the fly and heard a loud pop and light spark. This only stunned the fly (mid sized fly) and it started flying around about a foot off the floor then landed on the floor. I gave the fly another zap. Now the fly was still alive but barely moving. So, I then put the poor thing out if it's misery by stepping on it with my slipper.As far as zapping flies, the name of "The Executioner" is a bit of an exaggeration. I do wish there was more power to "take them out" with a single zap. To be fair though, the packaging does not claim to kill flies in a single zap but instead says "The shock is powerful enough to kill most mosquitoes and can take the wings off a fly." Even the old fashioned way of a swatter or rolled up newspaper, if you don't squish them, flies have a way of only being stunned but then recovering in time.I do think this swatter is a lot easier than a regular fly swatter or slipper or rolled up newspaper. I really like how just placing the racket with the metal wires next to the flies makes them just fly right into the waiting metal wires.What I like-------------- sturdy build- no protective layers to interfere with contact- loud sound with spark for confirmation of a hit- easy to install and replace batteriesWhat I dislike------------------- not enough zapping power to kill a fly with one zapI'm giving "The Executioner" a 4 star rating. For flies, this zapper is more of a fly screaming "Don't tase me bro" device and not a true fly electric chair. Keeping that in mind, this does make the task of fly swatting easier than the traditional methods. However, if you expect the swatter to kill flies in one zap, then you may be disappointed.

It’s totally worth investing in this higher priced racket because it works. My previous one zap the flies, but after being stunned for a moment, they would get up and move off. It took five zaps plus a squish to kill them. I just unwrapped this guy, found a couple of sea cell batteries, and killed five flies, dead at the first zap.
