These things are garbage.
I have one that takes d cell batteries and works great. Have used others that barely function, though
No. You may be using them wrong. You don't swipe like a tennis racket. It creates a cushion of air that pushes the fly away, you need to go slower, but not too slow. Once you get the knack you're swear by them.
Though they're much better for mosquitos than houseflies.
I find it useful when the fly won't land, I can usually swat it in midair. It's also my backup weapon when I go to spray hornets nests.
