We have used this while camping and also when we are on our backyard patio. I am very allergic to mosquito bites and I have found this appliance to be very effective when used as directed. Here is the explanation as to how it works from the Thermacell website: "ThermaCELL® Mosquito Repellent Lanterns and Appliances are powered by a single butane cartridge. Butane provides the cordless, portable heat that activates the patented devices.The heat generated by the butane cartridge is directed to a metal grill that is part of the design of the Lantern or Appliance. A small mat, saturated with repellent, sits on top of the metal grill. Heat vaporizes the repellent, allowing it to rise into the air.The repellent is allethrin, a copy of a repellent that naturally occurs in chrysanthemum flowers. It repels mosquitoes, black flies, and no-see-ums, and will not harm humans or pets.Within minutes after turning on the Lantern or Appliance, the repellent creates a 15 by 15-foot (225 square-foot) area of repellency, the size of an average deck, patio, or campsite. All ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellent products use the same refills, which contain both repellent mats and butane cartridges." I hope this answers your question! :)

Does anyone own this and any other version (i.e. the portable or backpacker)? i was just curious is there is any difference in effectiveness.

I use the portable version for early season bow hunting and they work great. Turn it on and hang it from my treestand seat and BAM, no buggo's

Does this lantern have a handle?

This lantern has a small loop handle.
