What happened to the old fashioned, MANUAL fly swatter? I can't say any fly I've swatted one with has actually flown away... but apparently some people have this problem that they needed to make an ELECTRIC fly swatter. I suspect you won't feel as victorious when you finally kill the bastard flying around your abode.

This review sounds like an ATOT member:

"Where can you have this much fun this cheap? Bugs on the wing are easy targets and the smaller they are the louder they pop when you zap them! Bigger pests just sit there, curl up and start smoking with little sparks - which is still cool. But dinky bugs just vaporize with a significant "pop". You just can't find that kind of long term entertainment for three bux anywhere else!"
 
Those things are great fun. And cheap.

Seriously though, with the old fly swatter you have to swat it against something. You don't have to do that with these. Just make contact and listen for the tiny screams of your victims.
 
Those things are awesome. I used to cook for a large group of people (it wasn't prison) and I used one of those in the kitchen all the time while cooking. Its true, they pop and just vaporize but if they are big they sort of fling lifelessly across the room and land who knows where.

In the bouillabaisse?
 
these have been around since the 90's. i expected by now to have something like a vacuum attached so i wouldn't even need to do the swatting motion.
 
electric fly swatter does not require hard surface to smack the fly against. In addition, if there is a fly against a wall you can hover the electric fly swatter above the fly and zap it instead of smearing fly guts all over your wall.

Conclusion: electric fly swatter far superior to normal fly swatter + OP fail.

how in the world did you came to the conclusion that an electric fly swatter is a symptom of laziness?

and how old are you, because i remember buying a fly swatter gun back in the late 70s.

Little to no swing, less effort to clean guts off your wall leading to a lesser feeling of victory in doing so.

oh man you have no idea how glorious it is to have a fly explode in the electric fly swatter. And sometimes they get stuck and get zapped multiple times. FUUUUUUUUU FLY.

It's not really THAT lazy...you still have to swing at the fly...and you CANNOT smack it against the wall/table/other hard surface or you will break the swatter...but they are fun to use. <ZAP!>
 
Just need to get fly/mosquito/bug tracking lasers into the household.

Edit- Well that was a lame 10,000th post.
