Safety / Exposure concerns: Any thoughts or research done by you all, before I go and buy this?

New technology is coming out from some sets where they do not emmit all the time. Unfortunately I do not know what to look for. These units, in many cases put out more microwave RF than cellphones. I just read up on this today.

I found it to be safe but I've got some kind of experience in dealin gwith such type of tools. But , f.e. my wife doesn't have such experience and I wouldn't give her this machine to operate. One point more-the very basic tech knowledge is in need to assemble it

I am thinking of getting one too - I am just reading ingesting small amounts of rust isn't harmful, and various cleaning techniques can help (baking soda, bottle brushes). I think I will take the risk and just make an extra effort to make sure it's dry when it's not in use. I can't imagine that it's made of any but food-grade stainless steel...

That was one of my concerns. Second hand information: I saw a tear-down video of the TC. Careful handling of the connector is required, of course. Zero problems with mine, so far.

I would definitely return it. It could potentially become a fire hazard. Better safe than sorry!

The unit is well made. Is it safer than the less expensive unit? That is hard to tell. However, inspite of the warning from want anti, other brand butane canisters with UL listing worked probably just as safe.

Potential buyer asks... Mind telling me about the many outstanding issues? Thanx!

Wish I could help you Brad. Don't believe I've used the box. I feel safe without it on private property and but have it just in case. I've got access to seven Bushnell cameras (work for Mt. Fish Wildlife and Parks) and we've only on a couple occasions used a box. Had a bull elk push on off kelter recently and numerous bears (black and Grizzly) nuzzle them, but so far no damage has been done. Mike

That's a good question. I didn't worry about it because the price was right for a quality brand. I don't see any problems arising but I probably should have thought more about that. This likely won't help but that was why I purchased the product, quality and price.

I also need to know that. Is anyone ever going to respond to this question? Your overseas customers need to know before they can safely use the product.

Les, thanks much. Very helpful, although I'm still torn. Yes, it would be great to hear from people with hands on experience or to see a review by a pro. I'm going on a trip in November, so will buy something before then.

Mine is a question too: product description states the product shouldn't be used around home/pets/ children, I see it's ultraviolet light sourced, would the ultraviolet be the danger source enough to discourage use on a back porch where flies continuously buzz 9 months a year??

Bill has a good point, but I would recommend you read our discussion in my review first and make your own decision. I have used it like this for a long time until one day the wires melted! I am sure others have had better luck, it's only how much of a risk you are willing to take.

No. I'm unaware of any safety issues. Almost all such appliances have built in power.

I'm unsure of that information I would contact the vendor directly. I assume they cannot market it as safe for consumption without doing some sort of testing.

Yes! We had the same concerns, but no problem. We're very pleased with the purchase!
