在選購(gou)電(dian)蚊拍(pai)時(shi)要掌握技巧。質量(liang)好的電(dian)蚊拍(pai)可通過觀察手柄、電(dian)網(wang)(wang)及相關標志的方式去辨別(bie)。正(zheng)品(pin)(pin)的電(dian)蚊拍(pai)手柄多用(yong)工(gong)程塑料(liao)制成(cheng)，光澤度很(hen)好；而(er)次品(pin)(pin)往往是(shi)用(yong)回收(shou)塑料(liao)二次加工(gong)而(er)成(cheng)，不僅有毛(mao)刺(ci)，斷裂的可能性也很(hen)大(da)。質量(liang)好的電(dian)蚊拍(pai)的電(dian)網(wang)(wang)一般為三層構(gou)造，且相鄰層之間距離較大(da)，看起(qi)來電(dian)網(wang)(wang)比較厚。同時(shi)，正(zheng)規(gui)廠家生產的電(dian)蚊拍(pai)都標有產品(pin)(pin)名稱、操作方法、廠址、廠名等信息，產品還附有說明書。
