   This smells strongly of citronella but seems to be the same in quality as many other similar products on the market. The only reasons for docking a star is that you may be able to get more bang for your buck elsewhere. I mean, its just a citronella candle. Theres no secret formula. Theres also no lid which is a bummer since all my candles stay out on the porch even during our spring rainy season.

   Otherwise its still a good product and very well made. The tin is still so much nicer to look at (compared to the big ugly plastic ones).

   This candle stinks! This three wick candle only came with two wicks. I also uploaded a photo where a misquote literally landed beside the candle. I think it would be better to make it own citronella candle.

   I was hopeful because of the reviews mentioning this candle worked and the rim of the container was high enough to keep the wind from blowing out the candle. It arrived in a box to prevent damage, as opposed to a competing 4-letter name brand that just came loose without extra packaging to protect it from getting dented (it arrived dented), this Coleman candle arrived in good condition—until I opened the box it came in. The candle appeared to have been melted at least partially because it no longer was round like the can it goes in, the candle was slightly oblong and I immediately noticed NO WICKS to light the candle! I thought another reviewer was full of it, but this is how mine arrived. The wicks were stuck to the bottom of the can, and the top of the candle was smooth without any place for the wicks to stick out. How exactly am I supposed to get these wicks in the candle? The candle is useless to me, we need protection from mosquitoes and a wick less candle won’t do the job. It’s getting returned.

   This won’t be a big deal for everyone, but I hadn’t thought about the logistics of a “35+ hour” candle before I ordered it. Without a cover/lid, you can’t leave it out in the rain. Since few people will burn this candle in one sitting, I think that’s relevant. I’m not taking off a star because my complaint is apparent in the picture, and I blame myself for not thinking about the problem before I ordered.

   I can’t speak for the 35+ hour claim yet, but it appears to be about right. We’ve burned less than half of the candle so far. The Citronella seems to be at least as effective as any other candles we’ve had. I found myself appreciating the Coleman name, and never wondering what chemicals and by-products might have been in the wax. When you’re breathing something, trust in the company name matters.

   Okay, it works. BUT, one of the wicks was missing, but the hole was still in the wax where the wick was… which means the wick was in there and someone REMOVED the wick. Which seems like a wild thing to do. Like why? Otherwise it’s very effective for keeping mosquitoes away.

   It’s finally summer break and I am so excited to spend my days and evenings lounging in the backyard! Unfortunately, ankle biters and mosquitoes are part of the world we live in so I am usually covered in bug spray or some sort when out in the yard. I decided to try the Coleman Outdoor Citronella Candle the last three evenings and it seems to have kept the pesky mosquitoes away. The wicks were easy to light and stayed lit even with the windy breeze up in the canyons. The citronella scent is strong but it’s that way for a purpose. I did have to push it a bit further away from me so the scent would be tolerable. I do wish the bucket came with a lid to keep the candle clean but it doesn’t bring down the rating. Overall a necessary item for mosquito free summers so I will be looking at add a few more to my backyard.

   Items come melted, deformed, and unusable. Then, I had to print my own return label, packed them back up and go through the return process. What a headache.

   If you love camping but hate dealing with pesky bugs, this citronella candle is a total game changer. I brought it on my last trip, and it seriously kept mosquitoes and other bugs far away from our campsite. The scent is fresh and not overpowering, which is great because I don’t want to smell like bug spray all night!

   The candle burns evenly for hours, giving off just enough light and citronella aroma to create a cozy, bug-free zone around our tent and seating area. It’s compact and easy to pack, which makes it a no-brainer for outdoor trips.

    Received Candle with only 1 wick in it. It should have 3 wicks, the 2 holes for the other 2 wicks are there but no Wickes are in the holes. Very Disappointing!!

    Ordered these for our lakehouse and didn’t open the box until I got there. One of the two had all the wicks under the candle and are secured to the bottom so my husband had A TIME trying to carve out the holes and pull them through. The other was okay. They are not as deep as I expected as well.
