TL;DR
ASPECTEK 20W Heavy Duty Bug Zapper is a solid mains-powered option and a reasonable buy if it matches your setup. Best for: covered patios, greenhouses and workshops.
It lost the top spot because it cannot go where the winner goes, and because it asks you to plan your yard around a power point.
Who it is for, and who it isn't
Buy it if you have a fixed spot, an outdoor socket, and no interest in carrying the unit anywhere.
Skip it if you camp, if you move between deck and lawn, or if you want a light and a zapper in one device.
First impressions in use
Set-up is unpack, hang, plug in. Attraction ramps up in the first half hour after dusk, and the collection tray tells you honestly how much it caught overnight.
Care and durability
Clean the tray weekly during peak season and brush the grid with the power off. Check whether the model uses replaceable bulbs — that determines the real running cost over a couple of seasons.

Pros and cons at a glance
- ✓Dual-sided design attracts insects from both directions
- ✓Outer safety mesh reduces accidental contact
- ✓Ships with two UV bulbs so you have a spare
- ✓Hangs or sits flat depending on the space
- ✗Bulbs are rated for only 2,500-3,000 hours, so it becomes a consumable
- ✗Industrial look and mains cord keep it out of the spaces the #1 pick handles
