    Q
    Why this vs.using my home oven? I have been baking certain things at very low temps with some success.
    A
    We think the obvious answer would be because of the exposed element in your oven which could lead to a fire. And also, most folks are not willing to put bedbug infested items in the same oven they will use to cook their food.

    Q
    Will zapping a suitcase full of stuff also kill bedbugs on everything inside?
    A
    The ZappBug Oven is designed for both carry on and checked luggage to fit inside of to treat all items at once. The more stuff you have packed inside the suitcase, the longer it needs to stay in as it has more layers that the heat has to penetrate through. If you were only treating a few clothing items by themselves you would probably only need to treat for 3 hours versus longer times for thicker items.

    Q
    Why would I choose this product over Paktite, which is cheaper?
    PS I found the answer to how long to leave things in, 3-6 hours, but would like more clarification (that's quite a range).
    A
    Both products work really well when used as directed. You can see the side by side comparison here: Packtite vs Bug Oven. With this comparison you can see that the size of each product is different,  the material and contruction is idifferent and the warranties on each product is different. The 3-6 hour range is given because the more items or you put in at one time the longer the items would need to remain in the product to reach bedbug killing temps. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
