Non functional and not repairable. The wick could not be raised or lowered. Very cheap. Quality control is not one of their concerns. Went to recycle can. You get what you pay for. Spend a few dollars extra and get something you can actually use.

Great classic oil lamp.Not just decor. Bought this for winter camping in sub zero temps. It worked very well. Full tank of lamp oil lasted all night and into the morning.Came quickly and ready to go out of the box, just add your own oil.

Poor product quality. By taking the lamp out of its box, paint was already removed in several places. Simply by taking it in my hands, the paint flakes again. It is very embarrassing to give this product as a gift.

I have a 30's Feuerhand Nr.276 for display, with holes rusted through the bottom. This V&O lantern actually works, and works well.

Follow the instructions and don't overfill this beautiful blue lamps and they'll last a long time. I keep mine in the shed and while they've shown a little bit of rust and corrosion, they are just fantastic for placing around my garden and patio for summer outdoor parties. A high-quality Citronella lamp oil will burn just fine and clean in these, just remember to turn the wick down when you first light it as it will glow more when the wick heats up. Puts out a beautiful, soft light and it also keeps mosquitoes at bay. A really great addition to your outdoor picnic table, patio or garden.

These are junk. We got 3 of these and eucalyptus paraffin oil. At first we were thrilled because they really kept the mosquitos away w the parafin eucolyptus oil. Sadly one broke right away. The wick mechanism jammed repeatedly even after being taken apart and fixed. Then a second broke and the 3rd. Before the third broke, the oil began seeping through the seams in the metal. Now all leak too. They are poorly made. Too cheap.

The item looks pretty but on close inspection there are issues: Where is the brass trim? The lamp is made of rather thin metal and there are small dents all over the tank. Looking inside the tank I cannot rule out spots of rust. On the positive side the lamp works as advertised. I filled it and lit it without any difficulties, it is also easy to extinguish. I left some oil in it to protect it against any further rust while in storage (this is an item for emergency use only). I have not tried replacing the wick. If there are issues with that as well I will update.

I bought this for camping & power outages, This is a nice lantern,the globe is made of thick glass and it has a nice paint job. I like the lantern but when I put 9oz. of fuel in it and let it sit for 1/2 an hour so the wick could soak up the fuel I checked the wick to make sure it was saturated and it lit right up. The problem is that the original wick completely burned up within 1 hour. I have other lanterns and replaced the burned up piece of wick with a 10" piece of (Dietz) 1/2" wick and after letting the new wick soak for 1/2 an hour , again it lit right up and burned perfectly all night.Just make sure you order quality 1/2" wicks when you buy this lantern.

All of the lanterns arrived on schedule. All burner assemblies were loose. Fix was simple, press the tab on the lantern body down with a screwdriver or something similar, to close the gap a little. When the burners were re installed, they all fit snugly.These are made in China and are an OK reproduction. One of the four had some rust in the tank and on the filler plug. That particular one also had some light paint areas on the lantern body.We intended to use them on hangers out on the deck with citronella oil. I believe they will be ok for that. There is a warning about overfilling and the potential for leaking if overfilled, which may be easy to do even with the supplied tiny funnel. It is difficult to see the fuel level.For this reason (potential for leaks), I would not recommend using them inside the house, camper, and definitely not in a tent.

This really isn't a high quality product. It is not completely rigid, not is it completely sealed, not is it exceptionally rust resistant. However, all of these things make it inexpensive! And its low cost allowed me to buy it! On top of that, they are very nice looking, and function just as expected! Don't expect a 10lb lantern slash personal defense weapon, but if you want a very nice looking blue lantern, this is it.

If you are looking for a simple and cheap lantern to create flickering flame ambience, then these are perfect. They are not robust and would not put up with a lot of punishment, but if you want to walk around through a forest at night and get a feel for how our ancestors saw things (our purpose for buying them) then they are perfect.

Its not that great, but then, its very cheap (9$) and it will get the job done. The mechanism to push up the glass assembly does not push it up. You have to learn a minor ju-jitsu move to hold down the base while lifting the relatively flimsy glass assembly and simply use the lever to lock it into the up position. (Required for lighting). Its close to impossible to fill to the prescribed level accurately because the line simply is not visible from looking into the tank as you fill it, so you have to guess the depth. I constructed a dipstick out of a cedar shim to be able to get the correct level because only filling to the prescribed level does not allow a lot of kerosene in the reservoir. If you overfill it leaks kero all over the place over a pretty long period of time so you can't overfill. 1/2 inch wick.I give it a 2 rating compared to being a high quality durable device.I give it a 4, 4.5 rating in terms of being a very low cost tool that you can get to do the job if you handle it with some care. If you are careful with it then it could last indefinitely. Try to lever up the globe assembly with the lever and you probably bend/maybe break it the first time.
