5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Multi-Functional Lantern, October 28, 2010

I bought this Coleman StormBeam Dynamo Lantern as a small thank you gift for my mother. I showed this lantern to my co-workers, and one co-worker was so impressed with the lantern that she bought a similar one for her husband that very same day after work. Every year during thunderstorms or cold weather season, there are power outages. So, instead of my mother having to light candles or attempting to find a flashlight that has run low on batteries, this lantern makes the perfect useful gift for my mother. I think that this lantern would make a great gift for anyone - female or male. Because you never know when you are stuck in an emergency or when the power goes out. Not only do you have light, but you have a radio to listen to the news which is essential during times of emergency or power outages, which my mother likes. It was easy and didn't take long for me to completely charge my mother's phone with one of the six cell phone chargers that are stored on the top of the lantern. And the crank on the bottom of the lantern is great for emergencies when you need to power up the lantern. I've always been a fan of multi-functional gadgets, and this lantern is one of them. I think it's well worth its price. It's better than having a plain old lantern during an emergency and having to lug a radio with you. And you can charge your phone when the power goes out. I've read the other reviews for this lantern, but you know what? I'm happy with the lantern. This lantern provides many functions, and I don't need to find a match or candle during emergency events. So, if you want to give a gift that will definitely be used, give this lantern a chance.

I cranked mine for one and a half minutes and the radio lasted 6 minutes. Possibly somebody on the assembly line is inserting junk batteries--this couldn't be the way it was intended to work.

Mine came defective and drove me nuts for awhile cause I would follow the instructions exactly and the light would stay on for like 1 min or 2 then start dimming to a worthless glow. Finally I just upped and bought one at Wal-mart the same exact thing and it worked fine. So as with all electrical stuff beware ordering them on internet as they can come beat up and may be a hassle to return. But Amazon has good customer service so your covered chief. Thank You Amazon .. never have so many owed so much to so few....
