I originally got the lesser quality torch by Bonjour when I got the set that comes with the creme brûlée dishes as a gift. While I liked it, someone who didn't realize I already had a torch got me this for Christmas. Now able to compare after making creme brulees for Christmas with this one, I will be giving me other away. This doe indeed feel and act more "professional".

It's not only better made with heavier metal, you can see when you are getting low on fuel, the torch head is longer so it's safer and produces a better flame, it holds more fuel so you don't have to stop and refill...

...and it came with a superb little cookbook with full color pictures that broadened my use of the tool beyond s'mores and creme brulees. I had never thought of using it for French onion soup before to melt the cheese perfectly over the soup rim, I"d never thought of using it to make a sea scallop gratin that knocks your socks off, brown a meringue in seconds and, more perfectly, tiny individual meringue pies for a very elegant party dessert, roasting peppers and turning jalapeños to chipotles.... It broadened my torch use and torch thinking.

Also it stands on it's own so if you, for example, want to roast a marshmallow and need to set it down and deal with a dripping marshmallow, the hot head is safe and never touches hour counter.

No negatives on this one. It's designed well and I've already used it each weekend in the 3 weeks since it was sent to me... And for 12 creme brulees on Christmas!

Ps I buy my fuel at Wal-Mart or hardware stores

5.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it is supposed to do! June 3, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
I was concerned about safety (as with any butane products) and making sure it shuts off completely with no chance of accidently igniting. This product has several safety releases you have to maneuver before it will blow a flame, which I think is great! I'm comfortable storing it when not using it, and the flame it throws is absolutely perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Torch December 28, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
The torch has a nice flame and is easy to operate. It has a continuous "on" switch so you don't have to hold the thumb button down all the time. This is a nice feature for anyone with weaker hands.
This was a Christmas present for my wife. She already used it to make creme brulee and they turned out perfectly.

Small, but doesn't have enough power. Overall, it's not a bad product, but if you're looking for that "boom", then look the other way.

Recommend this item for use as a kitchen torch. Refills are easily implemented ... purchase Benzomatic butane can from Aces hardware (or similar store) with Universal fueling tip.
