Short version: Definitely a purchase recommendation!
In detail:
I am very satisfied with this lantern.
This lantern is, the most important thing, very bright. I can adequately light a 50 square meter room with it, but have since purchased two lanterns for my apartment to use in case of a power outage.
At the push of a button there are two different preset brightness levels, full brightness when turned on and about 40% brightness when the power button is pressed a second time in a row.
Another press of the power button in series causes a rather dark and orange night light, but it is absolutely sufficient and perfect for this purpose. At least to me, it does not bother at night and still allows enough to see when you have to get up.
What is not mentioned anywhere: If you press and hold the power button again after turning it on at the highest brightness, after waiting a bit, you can dim the light output continuously.
The lamp is super processed and the LEDs do not dazzle.
Since I bought the lantern as an emergency light for power outages, I am also happy about the feature of charging other devices via a USB port. I have tested this for my Kindle and my iPhone.
I am happy that 4 D-cell batteries are used here. That's enough for 15 or 20 hours of continuous light on the highest setting and days of dimmed light or light on the low setting.
The weight is OK for what you get. If you need a lantern for hiking, please consider, that you need less of the batteries as if you operate a lantern on AA-cells.
There are recharchable versions of it, and, if you take a look at the Energizer homepage, even a hybrid version available, which run on build in rechargeable battery as well as on primary batteries, if needed. I like it just the way it is, as you cannot recharge during power cuts or during long hikes and therefor the D-cell battery version is best for me.
The only "improvement" I would like to see is simply a matter of taste: If the LEDs had a more warmer light color of around 3000 Kelvin, it would be the absolute perfect emergency or camping light in my opinion.

Nice, bright lantern!
The first thing I did when I got my lantern was to pop in those batteries and then go stand in a dark closet! I really like the light this lantern gives off. There are three settings, high, low and a night light. It really shoots the light all around, especially on high. I like that we can charge our phones if needed (however you will need your own cable for that). Now the true test is when I use it camping this summer. Its design seems to be pretty weather proof and overall the lantern seems to be very durable (I have already dropped it twice on the hard floor). I do with that the on/off was on top of the lantern by the handle but that isn't a deal breaker. The only thing I don't know yet is how often I will need to change batteries. Overall I really like the design of the lantern and the light it gives out.
