Incredibly Handy - A Must Have
Item reviewed: Black
Review by Di F. on 4 November 2019, 1 month after purchase
I recently purchased 3 of the ShooAway Fly Repellent Fans and they are proving to be a 'must have' in the kitchen. We live in a beautiful area with a great country feeling but with it comes flies due to the amount of homes that have a huge amount of horse stables/horses. The moment the hot season arrives so do the flies. We work hard at keeping them away but there is always that irritating few flies as one is preparing a meal. ShooAway certainly allows one to free up one's hands and get cooking instead of waving flies off.
Worthwhile purchase. Di Read more

what an awesome invention - still too early to say how long the batteries will last, but it is really effective and such a chic design that I have bought a few to place strategically at the buffet table this Christmas lunch.

Review by Madeleine D. on 25 November 2019, 12 days after purchase
I've used the Shoo fly once, keeping close track of the one fly that was cruising around in my kitchen. True enough, the fly did not sit on the food close to the Shoo Fly and in that instance I think it works well. A little further from the Shoo Fly, I'm not sure, will have to test some more. Or wait till full summer when there is more flies. I must admit, the white Shoo Fly really looks nice on a table Read more

A nifty little gadget

Review by Nadine R. on 12 December 2019, 13 days after purchase
I am very impressed with this ShooAway. Works very well. It looks good on a table while keeping flies away. It runs super silent. You can stick your hand in between the soft blades while it is running and it will stop without hurting you. So very safe to use around kids as well. In fact our cats find it very entertaining! So now I must just keep the cats off the table.

It actually works!

Review by Talitha T. on 26 December 2019, 17 days after purchase
I was dubious when I bought this, but the reviews seemed positive, and I had the eBucks, so I thought "Go for it!". And it works!
We have these horrid teeny little flies in our kitchen and this little marvel makes sure that we can leave food out without it being overrun.
It runs softly and the repellent dots on the blades clearly does do something to those annoying little bugs.
It has now taken up permanent residence in my kitchen for easy use. Read more

Review by Margaretha B. on 2 January 2020, 20 days after purchase
Bought two as a Christmas gift, and hoped and prayed that it worked. I am happy to say it works brilliantly, For the first time ever we ate prawns without having to wave flies away the whole time. You do need more than one for a 6 seater table. The distance they keep flies away is a bit bigger than the area the blades cover, so you can place them a few centimeters apart, haven't yet tested how far apart they can stand and still work effectively.

Only partially effective

Review by Karen R. on 13 January 2020, 31 days after purchase
The ShooAway does help with the flies to some extent but we have found that they are also way too sneaky and manage to fly underneath the ShooAway blades to get to the food. Only partially effective!

Great gadget but you need at least 2.

Review by Estelle L. on 30 January 2020, 1 month after purchase
I have been using the ShooAway not only at the table, but also in the kitchen while preparing food and flies are around. I have placed an order for more, because my table is large, and one doesn't seem to be enough. One just has to be careful of knocking the blades while it is on the table, but at least they are not breakable, and just slow down if they make contact with something.
I would recommend this product to a friend.
So glad I got this!

This ShooAway Fly repellant works fantastically.
It is reasonably priced, completely quiet with soft blades that cannot hurt if accidently touched and it definitely keeps the flies away. I've been using two on my breakfast table between cheese and cold meats and there is not a fly in sight. I'm absolutely delighted.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

Review by Val L. on 18 March 2020, 29 days after purchase
I have found that not only do these contraptions keep insects off your food (mostly, that is; because the fan is quite tall, some enterprising flies do manage to get under it), they also detract insects from coming in the first place. Makes a huge difference in my kitchen.
I would recommend this product to a friend.
Yet to test this but I'm sure it will do the trick

Review by Veronica J. on 22 March 2020, 13 days after purchase
Not yet tried this ShooAway for repelling flies, as it was to take to France and all borders are closed. I do believe from a friend I spoke to since I ordered this product, that it is highly effective, so I look forward to when I am able to test it out myself. I'll have to give it 4 stars as I've not actually tried it myself yet.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

I am impressed. However, a word of warning. The box says it has an 'eco-motor'. The box also says to switch it off immediately after use. Well, truthfully, we did not switch it off immediately and the batteries went dead pretty quickly [3 days]. Perhaps the Aussies have a different idea about the meaning of 'eco' than I do?
Either way, it is a bonus to have a couple in the house at this time of the year. Read more

Flies fly away!

Review by Ailsa S. on 9 December 2020, 14 days after purchase
I had seen these working on long buffet tables in Dubai (pre-Covid days!) and thought they were wonderful so I was delighted when they came on sale here. Silent, clean and effective, they work so well. I use one in the kitchen when preparing food on hot days and the flies withdraw. Outdoor eating is now much more relaxed without all the fly-arm waving.

Less flies to bother me

Review by Heleen M. on 11 February 2022, 17 days after purchase
I should have invested in some of these a long time ago. I bought two, which was a good decision, as you then do get a bigger area 'covered'.
Positioning them is important, as they need to stand completely free, yet fan over the food and not be in the way when you want to dish up.
We have used them successfully at food shoots as well. These don't keep the flies away completely but make a big enough difference that it's worth the buy. Read more
