Lightning fast shipping!!! Vendor is an A+++ Accurate description helped me find a perfect fit for my vintage Coleman lantern. I'm looking forward to doing business with you again...
Hard to open and close. I sat in one of the chairs tonite and the damn thing split right open. It took me by surprise and I fell through your chair. My back side is brused and sore from gettknbboit of chair. I will never buy another chair that does not have enough support to last more than one year. Do not recommend this product to anyone.
This has honestly been sturdier than we thought, and itās been cool to use with the kids for outdoor activities like painting or crafting etc when we just didnāt wanna deal with bugs. Set up wasnāt bad at all, my husband and i had it up within little more than 5 minutes but Iād recommend at least 2 people to set up since the rods through the top can be tricky to get layered correctly or pushed through on your own. Our only issue at all so far has been one zipper being broken, rendering the other side useless so ours essentially only has one door but maybe itās worked out better anyway not having the kids coming and going on their own through two zippered door ways lol. Weāve left it up through several rainy/windy days and it didnāt have any trouble, and we did have it staked down with the stakes included. The included bag for storage is nice too.
Don't let the paid reviewers who plug another brand of chair defer you. If you travel to the beach and like to travel light, this Coleman beach mat is worth the roughly $20 you're going to pay, and comes with free prime shipping. Chair is narrow yes, but not uncomfortable. You can easily chose the best recline position for your sun and comfort needs. The long carrying strap let's you effortlessly carry this to the beach. Fits easily in my 25 inch suitcase, and there is still plenty of room for everything I need for a 10 day trip. Convenient and a huge step above laying flat on the beach. You can sit up and people watch, read and enjoy the view of the water... Taking this to Mexico next month and will update with any new findings. .
I reviewed this product several months ago. Raved about it then and how it repels ticks in "Tickville" (CT). Do you hate those chemical collars and flea and tick drugs? From August 2022 to August of 2023, not a single, freaking tick on my Mini Aussie! And ticks are everywhere! We lost our beloved Afghan to organ failure after 3 bouts of Lyme Disease. I never knew about Colemans. Just know, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus is NOT the same as Eucalyptus Lemon Oil. Don't believe me? Go ahead and spend hours researching like I did. Spray once a day - outside, before your walk with the dog. Lasts all day. Pretty amazing stuff. Thanks Coleman for a great product!
Simple, functional design with some build quality issues. Pro: Electrically simple design. Easy to remove grill and easy cleaning. Mostly durable parts, though knobs and ignition stick out when cover closed. Con: Build quality lacking 1) burner top should sit on top of frame but construction had one side under frame and one on top causing warping in body and misfit in closure. I pried the frame out to fix this, which relieved the tension. (See pic) 2) the burners and ignition heads are poorly installed or designed to poor tolerances. One burner is close enough to igniter to cosistently ignite (see pic), the other is at a distance that requires more fuel to ignite (see pic)... not as good on near empty fuel tanks. Havent tried to fix this yet. The burners are also not level (see pic)... though that is a nit, more so when cooking with cast iron. Mods: I bought this because many friends have this and it's a simple work horse. I did some simple upgrades to mine. 1) added cork stickers to feet to prevent sliding (see pic). I might drill out bottoms and use rubber tips in future. 2) added small round neodynium magnets to prevent wind shields from rattling when stowed (see first pic). 3) more importantly, added 3 magnets to the fuel line adapter (see pic). This really helps it from rattling around and banging into the ignition tips (see pic).
A Coleman replacement part that works as described. I included a pic of the ice chest I installed it on, and a pic of the bottom of the ice chest with the model numbers (6238, 6239, 6240, 6241) shown. Prior to ordering this part, I was unable to determine if this was the correct part for my ice chest as it was not listed any where, including the Coleman website.
Followed the instructions. Fired right up. Slightly more yellow tint than standard white gas lanterns but really nice. I'm considering another one. Big tank and runs for hours after pumping once. Defiantly recommend.
As soon as the flame is close to the wick, the colors start changing. I burn mine AT LEAST 2 hours per night, and I it about 3 weeks ago. It looks barely used. It's a really cool candle to have outside!
After the first set up is figured out, it's really easy to put together! I use my tents for working at renaissance fairs and this week we got hammered by some rough heat followed by one heck of a thunderstorm! The tent held up great! There was one tiny leak in a corner, but considering how much rain we got all night, I'm still impressed. It was very spacious and comfortable, held up great to some rough winds and was pretty simple to figure out how to assemble solo after the first set up a week prior. Though I camp alone and needed the space to store merchandise and whatnot, there was plenty of room if you wanted to have 2 queen size blow up mattresses in there. Maybe even a twin between them. But I like my space for my writing desk and storage lol ::CONS:: -The door didn't exactly stick shut on the velcro like it was supposed to, but it didn't bug me too much. -The strings on the zippers got sorta confusing (there's several in one spot for the door, a second door zipper, and 2 for the door window) so I attached a Keychain to one of the door zipper strings so I'm not grabbing the wrong one constantly. -I really wish there were more windows. Unless you know which direction the wind will be coming so you can aim the windows towards it for a cross breeze, you really don't get much fresh air in there with the top on it. Granted there's a window on the door, but I wish there was a window across from the door. Even a small one would've been nice lol - The door mat was kind of designed.... weird. Though it was helpful to wipe your feet when coming in the tent, the stakes you attach are on the long-end sides instead of the corners, so it would sometimes fold over when you use it. I plan to alter mine so the stakes are thru the corners. ::PROS:: - I'm 5'7" and had Plenty Of head room in the center of the tent, which is a huge plus when you need to get dressed - The floor seemed pretty thick. There were a lot of acorns on the ground and it was still pretty tolerable. - Speaking of acorns, it was like acorn Armageddon when the wind picked up. I swear the squirrels were chucking them at us at full force at night! They'd hit the top of the tent with such force that they'd bounce off and fly several feet. It didn't seem to cause any sort of damage or bother to the tent though, even during high winds. Can't say the same for my car hood though.... - The tent overhang over the door is super helpful during storms. It was really nice that I could angle the side flaps so I wasn't getting hit with rain the second I stepped out the door and could take shelter there and stay mostly dry. - Plenty of anchor points! If you anchor them all down, it's VERY sturdy during high winds and rain. Definitely was a help to be able to anchor at all areas where some tents don't seem to have enough for stability in winds. -Easy fold up! It looks like it would be pretty complicated but after you fold it in half, it folds up really easy. The top fly is a little harder though lol and I recommend you fold it inside the fold of the tent or it doesn't fit in the bag. All in all, I loved the tent and would definitely buy again. I do plan to spray it with water resistant tent solution to make it more durable, though honestly it seemed fine without it. But better safe than.. well, wet lol
First of all this is my third Coleman Sun Shelter. The first one lasted several years after much abuse by sun and salt at the beach. When it finally got old we loved it so much we ordered another one. Unfortunately, Hurricane Sally destroyed that one shortly after we bought it(it wasn't assembled at the time, just in a storage shed) along with many other things we owned. So, we had to order another one to replace that one. It arrived and appeared fine, just as you would expect. Upon putting it up at the beach the first time I noticed a slight imperfection in the canopy itself. It wasn't something that would make it unusable, just something that would have diminished its total lifespan. This is where I was truly impressed. I took a couple photos of the imperfection while we were at the beach. I emailed Coleman customer service the following morning. Within an hour, I had a response asking for a bit more details and my purchase receipt. Before the end of the day, Coleman customer service had agreed to send an entire replacement, at no additional cost, to me. It arrived this week in perfect condition. Now for the actual product review. This is about 35 to 40 pounds. It is heavier than the offbrand canopies but comes with a carrying case that has wheels to make it easier to transport. Those wheels are of course almost useless on the loose sand but great for moving it to and from the vehicle and parking lots. Most average people can easily toss it on their shoulder for the final trek thru the sand. It does include carrying straps on the bag. This is extremely easy to setup with at least 2 people. The cheaper ones are no where near as sturdy as this one and just don't hold up to the wind, sun and salt. I will say it's imperative that you spray this off after every use as sand will make the slides and locks inoperable after only a few uses if you don't. If you simply spray it down with freshwater after each use, it will last a long time. This canopy, unlike the cheaper ones has a wind vent at the top that is a must when you are using it at the beach. The sudden gusts of wind will lift the others and destroy them while this one remains standing. We set it up at its tallest setting, there are 3 settings, and then use our feet to dig about 6 inches into the sand, we then place the legs in those holes and push the sand back over them. We have watched many other types of canopies be flipped and ours will still be standing strong. During extremely rough winds we occasionally use the supplied, preattached ropes to anchor it to our cooler carrying handle, just to be safe. I highly recommend getting the optional sunscreen that covers one side. It makes the entire covered portion usable instead of having the sun intrude on one side. When we go to the beach we plan on staying for the day so as the sun moves, we simply pick the canopy up and turn the sunscreen to the side where the sun is now at instead of moving the screen every time. All of our friends love this canopy and we've watched them go thru multiple cheap ones while we continued to use the same one. Spend the little bit of extra money and get this one. The quality is great and it will last a long time if you take care of it.
I took my OneSource Canopy on a camping trip. Since this considered outdoor equipment, you would expect it be able to be rugged and handle the elements. During the first night, we got 15mph winds. All 4 sides were staked down with heavy duty stakes. The canopy blew away and one of the truss beams snapped in half. No tents or other canopies at my campsite had any issues. I contacted Coleman to purchase a replacement part, but they do not have any available. I do not want to waste more $$$ on a product that cannot be easily repaired.
Lantern arrived with the center section squeezed in, as if held by a gorilla. Thats why a 3 star rating. Picture of new lantern in my review is beside a 30 year old powerhouse lantern, same model. Lantern works great. Comes with mantles and fuel filter. Do yourself a favor and get the lantern case. Buy extra mantles and stow them with the lantern. Keep the fuel fresh and clean, relieve tank pressure when you are storing it. These things will last a long time when kept up properly. Again, see the photo in my review. 30 year old lantern beside a new lantern.
I would expect a better product from Coleman. This should not have been sent this way. Returning the item & we will see if they replace it then I will modify my review. Poor Mfg - someone needs to be fired! Received the replacement. fast response in getting a new one out. Item works as expected-no issues.
Was using this thing while camping when suddenly flames shot out from under it, engulfing the entire lantern in flames. Shut off the propane, and had no choice but to watch this lantern melt until there was nothing left but metal bits and the cracked glass. This lantern is unsafe to use. If you are going to use it, DO NOT use it near anything flammable, and make sure you can extinguish it quickly without damaging anything or anyone nearby. AVOID!!!
