As with all previous experiences with Coleman lanterns, this one lived up to their reputation of quality construction and great performance, all for a good price. The big seller on this for me was the Dual Fuel option. Gasoline is still cheaper than Coleman fuel (amazingly enough!), so being able to throw unleaded gas into the thing and use that was a great feature. Plus, now I can just use one gas can for both spare vehicle gas and lantern fuel!

I strongly recommend getting the case for this product. As with all glass-globed lanterns, improper/rough handling could bust this one, so the Coleman case would be a prudent purchase (only about $15).
