4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Propane Lantern, June 10, 2007

Used this for the first time this past weekend, so I've only had limited experience so far. (I'll update this review if I run into a problem later.) Some brief highlights:
* The lantern works quite well. It puts out a good deal of light and is well constructed.

*Like other reviewers, I am concerned about the possibility of cross threading the soft aluminum header in the lantern versus the propane tanks. When attached the propane, take your time and be careful not to over tighten.

* I think it is well worth the money to buy the version with the hard case. It is a nice case, easy to put the lantern away and makes is great to pack.

* Like any propane product, there is some propane "hiss" while it burns, but I didn't find it bothersome. Possibly I expected some, so wasn't surprised.

* This lantern does NOT have a ignition built in,so you have to use a match or a small torch, but it was easy enough to light.

Overall, a good lantern. We'll see how it holds up with time. The only reason for the 4stars instead of 5 is the issue with the soft aluminum threads.

August 2010 Follow Up: Still using it and it is working great! We don't camp all that frequently, so I won't say we've given this a hard workout, but it gets used each summer and is always up for the task. Still strongly suggested.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great light, but I wish I got the auto ignition., October 19, 2007

Picked this one up after that last camping trip where I found I had plenty of propane but all my lanterns run on batteries that were all dead. Decided that this was what I need to solve that problem, but the store didn't have the auto ignite model in stock. Plenty bright and easy to use, but I worry that I might break a mantle lighting with matches. The only reason for the four stars is because in my opinion you should opt for the same lantern with auto ignite. Don't get me wrong, this is still a great lamp.

The knob to adjust the brightness is loose and connot be tightened. You cannot return to Amozon. It has to be sent to Coleman. Do yourself a favor and spend more money for a better one or even go to Wal Mart and see what you are buying.
