Great for feeding pet spiders and exploring nature
My son and I are having so much fun with this thing! I use it to catch flies in the windows for our pet jumping spider mostly. He likes to count how many ants he can find 😂 the vacuum is kind of loud but gentle and effective with its high and low settings, detachable jar with twisty close inner lid is very helpful for transferring bugs to other containers, and so far has proven very sturdy.

Great gift!
This thing is awesome! I bought it for my loving daughter. She will spend hours in the yard vacuuming up bugs and looking at them! The catching part of the vacuum is a bit hard for smaller hands to get off so I am always called in for help. But definitely worth the buy.

Well made
My 10 year old grandson is Autistic. He loves to catch and watch bugs and spiders, but doesn't want to touch them. He spent over an hour designing little ecosystems in the four pods and fed his spider for over a month.The catch container under the vacuum was a little hard to remove to transfer insects to the habitat. Also, it would be nice if there was an easy way to open just one section to provide water.He loves this because it allows him to set up different territory for more than one insect.The vacuum itself was worth the price because it safely picks up a little bug and captures it to view or transfer to the habitat.

Great product
My family love this product! The kids really enjoy it and it keeps them entertained for hours, which is a huge win. It does break somewhat easily with heavy use, so I’ve found myself ordering a new one each summer — but honestly, it’s worth it for the fun they get out of it. It also makes a great gift for other kids. Definitely recommend!

Weak, and then Nonfunctional
I got this to replace a different bug catcher I had... hoping this would be better/easier. I regret it. The suction was so weak the stink bug I tried to grab just laughed at it. After placing the device directly on top of the bug and wiggling it around the stink bug finally entered the nozzle, at which point it flew to the inner part of the nozzle where it stayed(picture attached). The "downdraft" is so poorly designed its virtually non-existent, so much so I tried grabbing a moth in my home only for the moth to become plastered to the back fan like a bug on a windshield, never being pushed down into the catch container. It wasn't even strong enough to push FRUIT FLIES into the catch container. I changed out the batteries considering that sometimes even new ones can be "duds" but no luck. Not only were the first set of batteries still good upon testing, but after no more than 5 minutes of use with the new batteries the device no longer works AT ALL. It is completely dead. It doesn't even work well as a paperweight.

Works VERY well for stink bugs!!! Important details below...must read
First off, I have to point out a very important detail about this bug vacuum...before using this on an actual bug, I tested the suction against my hand, expecting a vacuum-like suction against my skin, but I felt very little suction, so I didn't have high hopes, and to be honest, I almost chalked it up as a loss and returned it. I'm so glad I didn't because after seeing a stink bug climbing on the wall, I put this up to the bug, pulled the trigger, and the bug was IMMEDIATELY pulled into the jar like magic! I was shocked that it actually worked and worked well! The bug wasn't harmed, and I was able to quickly close the top of the jar to trap it in. I've since caught numerous stink bugs, and each time it's like one second, they're at the opening, and the next second, they're in the jar. It's pretty cool. I'm still confused about how it works so well since it feels like there's little to no suction against my hand. So, don't let that fool you. It works! 100%! And as an added plus, it doesn't cause the bugs to release their nasty smell like they have when I've used my dyson. Highly recommend.
