Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"This lightweight, compact lantern burns both white gas and unleaded gasoline, making refills more convenient. Burns for more than 5 hours on high with light output nearly equal to a 50-watt bulb--plenty of time and light for cooking and setting up camp. "Instant Light" is easy to start--just light a match and turn the light control knob. Light output control knob allows for use of variable light levels to conserve fuel. Inner coated fuel tank and porcelainized ventilator resist corrosion and extend the life of the lantern. Wire handle can be used to carry the lantern or hang it at camp. Lanyard on filler cap prevents loss."

From Ramsey Outdoor:
"Sturdy, lightweight lantern operates on clean-burning Coleman? fuel or unleaded gasoline Fits easily in most backpack pockets Single mantle design ..."

"Hello out there . . . This lantern does more than I expected from it. So small and still very powerful. And the pieces are available if you ever need to replace one. Some say you have to pump it too often. Well, this lamp is only 24 cm tall . ."

"Pros: Bright, compact in terms of white gas fuel lantern.

Cons: have to pump it every 15-20 mins. It is very troublesome. More or less the condition in other model 229 Coleman lanterns.

No longer use it."

"I just received this lantern from a friend in the USA (I live in the UK). It's a very small lamp, only 9. 5" tall, holds about 8oz of fuel. Well made, lights very easily, and throws out a massive amount of light for its small size. It will burn Coleman/unleaded petrol, and a full tank gives around three hours of burn time at full output."
