How to Compare Prices from Different Suppliers: A Smart Buyer's Guide
When shopping for electric insect killers, price is important—but it's not the whole story. A lower upfront cost can sometimes mean hidden compromises in safety, quality, or long-term value. Here are five practical tips to help you compare supplier offers wisely and ensure you're getting the best deal for your money.
1. Check the Plastic: Is It Fire-Retardant V0?
Safety starts with materials. All plastic components should be fire-retardant V0 level—the highest standard for flame resistance.
Simple test you can do:
Take the collection tray and try to light it with a lighter. Once it catches fire, remove the lighter. If the flame goes out within 10 seconds, the material meets V0 fire-retardant standards. If it continues burning, the plastic could be a safety risk.
2. Look at the Power Cord: Rubber vs. PVC
According to international safety standards, the power cord must be made of rubber, not PVC. Rubber cords are more durable, flexible, and resistant to heat and wear—especially important for appliances with UV lamps.
If a supplier offers a lower price, check what type of cord they are using. PVC cords are cheaper but may not meet safety requirements.
3. Test the Casing: Can You Touch the High-Voltage Grid?
A safe insect killer must prevent accidental contact with live parts. This is verified through the standard finger test.
Simple test you can do at home:
Take a ballpoint pen and try to push it through the outer grid. If you can touch the high-voltage grid inside, the casing does not provide adequate protection. A properly designed unit will keep human's fingers safely away from live components.
4. Compare Cable Length—It Affects the Cost
Not all power cords are the same length, and length affects price. At Eagle, our standard power cable is 1.2 meters. If your installation doesn't require a long cord, we can offer a lower price by using a shorter cable.
Always check the specifications—what looks like a cheaper price might just be a shorter cord.
5. Don't Forget the Extras: Is a Cleaning Brush Included?
Maintenance is part of ownership. At Eagle, we include a cleaning brush with every unit—at no extra cost. This small but useful tool makes it easy to keep the appliance clean and working efficiently.
When comparing prices, ask suppliers what's included in the box. A lower price might mean you'll need to buy accessories separately.

Price comparison is about more than just the number on the quote. By checking materials, safety features, cable length, and included accessories, you can make an informed decision—and choose a product that offers real value, not just a low price.
