Pros & Cons
Pros
The instastart feature is kind of finicky. No issues with the instant start, works every time. Love the auto start.
The plastic case that it collapses into is a good enough shield from dropping or smashing. Gives off plenty of light and protective cover is great for transporting.
It is very bright on high, it starts reliably the few times i have relighted it. It's also very adjustable so we could dim it down to have just a little light to make s'mores by.
This works with propane and has a matchless mechanism (i hope it lasts for some good time) worked very, very well and didn't even come close to using a bottle of propane in 3 nights running 3 hours every night.
Cons
My aa mini-maglite is brighter. Of course, the maglite illuminates one direction only. Flow control is non existent.
Highlights
Quality
This is an improved, simple, and rugged lantern that i will be able to count on!
Very good quality and the electric ignite worked every time.
If the gap for the spark is adjusted properly it can work quite effectively, but the probe seems to be overly loose and is cons... Read More

Price
$30 for a 1000 lumen is a great value.
Got mine on sale at a great price, really bright and a good product.
Saw this on sale and had to scoop it up!
Shipping
I was so thrilled when this arrived and am still very much so!
Packaging/appearance
This old time classic is wonderfully updated to be much more compact for easy packing, travel and storage.
I like the carrying case, i’ve broken too many globes during travel and/or packing.
Competitiveness
Every time i try another brand though i seem to always end up returning to coleman.
I decided to replace it with a cheaper brand with the idea it would be just as good for the money.
I have owned several different brands of gas lanterns.

I have always had some trouble with the reliability of colemans igniters on their lanterns and the igniter on this one seems to be no different
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
If the gap for the spark is adjusted properly it can work quite effectively but the probe seems to be overly loose and is consistently out of adjustment which means little or no spark is produced at all and therefore no ignition
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The lantern can be fairly easy to light by hand with a match but sometimes very difficult to light with a normal pocket lighter
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The case is not the higher quality plastic that i have used with other coleman lanterns
