Customer Reviews With Photos

Nice while they lasted. Broke after third use as you can see. Just pulled down from over my eyes and one end exploded apart as photo shows. I'd send back for replacement but it has been about 60 days since purchased. Ruined a Thanksgiving day outing.

Great design, keep things cold for a long period of time. Very durable and functional.

Strong and solid cot. Excellent quality steel frame and cloth. I should have paid more attention to all the reviews. In addition to the reviews I read, I only viewed one video which showed just minor difficulty in snapping the 2nd crossbar into place. After I received this cot and needed to put it together in a tight space, I watched some more videos. Most of them described a lot of difficulty snapping in that last piece, as well as how hard it was to take apart to collapse. Difficult doesn't begin to describe my experience. I finally used a hammer handle as a makeshift prybar for leverage, and even then it was a huge struggle to snap in the last piece. I don't look forward to trying to take it apart. I'm a bit afraid of injuring myself to be honest. I'm a 5'2" 70+-year-old female, moderately strong. I always dislike it when instructions or reviews mention that assembly would be better (or best) with two people. I don't understand why products intended for one person can't be better engineered to make setup easier if you have to do it solo. I purchased this to put in the front half of my 23-ft vintage camper while a leaky roof in the midsection is being repaired — a semi-emergency situation. Although I would like to fold and unfold it for sleeping because my space is so small, I can't do that easily enough to risk not being able to set it up each night. I am able to turn it on its side temporarily so I can get past it, but it's still an obstruction. When my roof situation is resolved and I can fold up the cot longterm, it is actually very space-efficient when inside the included canvas case. One other review mentioned putting it back in the case was hard to do. At first glance, that's probably true, but I will cross that bridge if I come to it. In retrospect, I should have ordered a narrower cot, however I will keep this. At least it's excellent quality, and will give me a comfortable night's sleep when I add some comforters for padding and warmth. The only other thing I should mention is that there are some odd scratches on the underside of the cloth, and some faint blemishes on the bottom of the carry case. This makes me wonder if it was a return, or if the underside scratches are just from the legs scraping against it when folding/unfolding. Hopefully, the scratches don't compromise the strength of the cloth.

It’s bright! Super bright! First of all the off switch is difficult to get to stay in the Off position. You have to really fiddle with it to get it to stay off. I don’t know if others are having this problem or not. Second the lantern itself was kind of dusty when I opened the box and there was dust all over the outside of the box. Maybe this is a return? I don’t know. I’ll keep it for a couple of days to see if the Off switch might engage better. I really don’t want to return it but I don’t want the lantern to switch itself on and kill these pricey D cell batteries. I’d like to give it more stars but if it won’t stay switched off then that’s a big problem.

After modifications on this Fold n GO, retired my Coleman classic. I used it for car camping 1, I made a felt washer for the knob, to simmer the flame . when I simmered the flame down, and let it go, the knob sprang back a little bit and gave high flames again. The flame control is a long bolt, with fine threads. There is a tiny gap between the female and male threads. The propane press the knob out. Our hands push the knob in, against the propane pressure. Upon releasing the knob, the propane will press it out again, so the flame jumps up again. The felt washer keeps pushing the knob out. The user can't push it in easily. I made a felt washer with 1” furniture pads, punched a 0.2” hole, mount the washer on the stem, between the yellow hex nut and the black knob. Then I got a steady low flame. The gas valves stayed cool. The felt washers were safe . www.colemandiscount.com.com/dp/B08C373VBW 2, Windshields are a must for this stove. Campsites are always windy. I used two windshields. The 1st windshields was an aluminum one (13mm high, 9 plates) , was for my backpacking stove. I wrapped the aluminum windshield around the pot. The smooth surface reflected the heat back to the pot, and blocked the wind. The aluminum windshield was ~60°C, hot, untouchable. A paper box was the 2nd windshield. It was ~30°C, touchable, safe. The bottom flips were tucked under the stove. The whole setup was stable. I got that paper box at a local grocery store. After camping, that paper box ended as a campfire. 3, Aluminum foil was used as a liner on the burner, made it easy to clean. And it also reflected the heat back to the pot. 4, Grates were too high. The pot is too far from the blue flame. Some users prefer flat grates ( OD 25cm). I might bend them lower w a bench wise. After cooking, one grate might stay, the clamshell could still close, for packing. 5, Plastic clips on handles was useless, too thin. Velcro strips held them together. 6, That pot was a Revere 3qt w/ a copper bottom, from a yard sale. 7, A 5 lbs propane tank fitted in a 2-gallon bucket. My propane hose was for Weber Q grills, worked well w this stove. I used Teflon tapes, to get the threads smoother. www.colemandiscount.com.com/dp/B0012XXD4Y www.colemandiscount.com.com/dp/B077BLDL7T 8, The tip of that Coleman propane regulator was covered with a white vinyl cap, from a ClosetMaid wire shelf, to keep dirt away. That Coleman regulator was noisy while driving. I wrapped it with salepaper. www.colemandiscount.com.com/dp/B00002NBSS

The set up for this tent was super easy. The instructions are sewn into the generous carrying bag (yes, the tent went BACK inside easy with room to spare!). It took myself and my 13 yr old son to pitch this tent, and after we laid it out flat, it was easy peasy. The design of this tent is fantastic. The fiberglass poles are all attached securely at their "starting points", and the other side has heavy duty nylon pockets they're inserted in to. This tent truly goes up in 5 minutes. The material is durable nylon, and waterproof....but I will spray tent waterproofing on it anyways as I do all my camp gear. The seams are all taped. It's got lot's of interior storage pockets; hanging hooks; an e-port; tons of space; great ventilation; and two mud mats. Excellent family tent and great value.

The flame seemed to be strong even in the wind. I never got concerned it would blow out. I did find the three supports were hard to keep in position when using this.

I used this tent for car camping at coachella. This held up and was very easy to set up. I saw the bad reviews and was worried that the joints were going to snap off but it didn’t.

I have noticed that the reviews listed here are a mix of the Coleman OneSource Camping System Products now available from Coleman. This review is specifically about the Coleman OneSource Rechargeable Camping System tent. First, the Coleman dome tent is advertised as a 6 person tent. Maybe....MAYBE six small children, but even that would be stretching it. If you are looking at this for “family” size camping, any more then 3 people in this tent just would not work. If you stack them in like cord wood perhaps, but that would just be to uncomfortable. It’s perfect for two adults, and perhaps a child. The tent itself seems up to the Coleman name that we have all come to trust and respect over the years as some of the best camping gear. My last Coleman tent lasted over 20 years. Everything you need comes packaged in a carry bag about 2’ long and 10” wide. First time setup was fairly easy, with the instructions sewn into the carry bag! Nice touch Coleman! It took me a bit longer then the advertised “10 minutes” but again, this was the first time, and I did it alone. With another set of hands, it would have been much quicker, but I wanted to see if it was possible for one person to set this up. Took me about a half hour, with reading the instructions as I went along. Full disclosure is I have NOT camped in this tent yet as I have just received it, but wanted to set it up in advance to get my first impressions and see what we had prior to trying to do it on site. I will update this review once we take this out for a camping weekend with any issues or further details. Here is some observations of the tent: 1. Light weight and easily transported-not like the “old” canvas tents of the past. 2. Poles are all interlocking/foldable style and slide through the top ridges of the tent. The pole ends attach to a stainless pin on each corner of the tent. The pin is built into the stake ring, which is nicely sewn into the tent corners. 3. The tent has a “tub” floor, meaning the floor of the tent rises up a few inches all the way around, helping keep out moisture and water. 4. Comes with a rainfly that attaches easily over the top, providing extra protection from rain and gives you a shield over the front door entrance. 5. Large windows on all walls, with well stitched closures and heavy zippering. Large front door opening in a semi-circle. All window and door covering has nice tie downs stitched into the tent. There is also a nice “vent” built into the rear wall. 6. Heavy duty stakes included. All the John lines are stitched into the rainfly, so no more tangling or losing them! 7. Nice mesh pocket holders on both sides of the interior front of tent. Place you phones, gadgets up from the floor for protection, and holder for your OneSource battery supply. 8. Center of tent has your mounting hole for the fan system. Running down the interior of the tent, are the lighting sleeves that run parallel to the poles. These hold your LED lighting strings. They state that you can leave the lighting strings in place when you pack up and god away your tent, but I did not try that. You can see by my included pics what the tent looks like when up. I did not include pics of lighting, as it was daytime and I took the tent down prior to nightfall to pack it up while still dry. I will update the OneSource features and how they perform once we take it out on a actual camping trip. However, the battery system is the same (and the selling point) for all the OneSource products from Coleman. Overall, I will say that the tent is a very nice, well thought out product in the new OneSource Camping line from Coleman. It is however, NOT a six person tent.

I got this as a sandbox for the kids (ages 4 and 2). It's perfect. It's under the shade so the kids don't overheat. When it was a warm day, I took off the rainfly so they can get some air. On a cooler day, I kept the rainfly on so the girls don't get too cold. Since it's under trees, I like to keep the rainfly on so bugs and little stuff don't fall in. I love that it zips close because we have a lot of stray cats, possums, raccoons, skunks, and our pet chickens that would love to be all up in the sand. The zipper does get caught, which is annoying. It was actually cheaper for this tent than an actual sandbox which is a plus! My 4 year old loves that her creations are still safe the next day!

Purchased for my 12 year old’s camping trip. Couldn’t figure out how to roll back up using the attached cord and instructions. Sleeping bag came wrinkled, but perfect for amateur camping. Has a cotton like material on the inside and nylon on the outside.

The photo above was taken in the evening about an hour and a half before sunset. The lantern has four settings - low, medium, high, and flashing and in the photo it is set on medium. You can see how bright that is. In the dark, the low setting is about on a par with most regular flashlights. The high setting lights up a dark room. The lantern is lightweight, making it very portable, but it doesn't feel at all flimsy. Instead, the unit has a sturdy heft to it. One of the nicest features of this lantern is the Battery Guard which prevents the batteries from slowly draining away over time. Maybe once every 12-18 months we'll lose power in my area for an extended period. I got this lantern as emergency lighting in such situations so I don't end up sitting in the dark until the power company gets the problem resolved. That means my lantern will be sitting on the shelf for upwards of a year or more between uses. You can see why I like that Battery Guard function so much. Why the four star/five star distinction in the title? As a 70 year old guy with some health issues it's getting harder and harder for me to do a lot of physical things. Getting the batteries into the lantern caused a bit of a hassle for me, things which more able-bodied folks probably wouldn't even notice. First, of the four D batteries it needs, two need to go in one direction and two in the other. If I hadn't noticed at the last second where the + and - signs were, I'd have put them in wrong. That would only have been an issue because getting the cover back into place over the batteries was a bit of an effort for me. I had to brace the lantern upside down on a countertop and press hard to get that cover far enough down for me to screw it back on. That was my own weak muscles though. Most people would be able to put the batteries in without any problems at all, which is why I am giving this a full fiver star rating. I think it's an excellent product.

I've only used it three times now and each time, there was no wind to deal with so no issues with flame-outs. I am impressed however at the burner design and the very evenly distributed flame that seems to minimize the amount of propane being burned. Seems to be very efficient and yet at the same time produces a great deal of cooking heat. I was a bit surprised by the fact that it cooks faster than my stove at home. It's light weight and compact for packing and I plan on getting lots of use out of it.

I picked up a Coleman model 228F from an estate sale. The model was discontinued in 1971, and these gas lanterns are still better than ANYTHING you can buy today. Today, the lanterns are similar, but there is a lot more use of cheap plastic parts. Anyway, the ORIGINAL generator (p/n 220E5891) was still in the lantern and still worked. However the original part, the needle was bent beyond repair and the cardboard tube inside the generator looked a little dry rotten (probably from sitting in a 90 year old man's shed for years). The light flickered and it seemed to need pumped quite a bit (I think the old generator was letting too much fuel and air thru because it was worn). I picked up this generator to replace the old one. The materials appear to be the same as those designed way back when. Now the light is steady and it seems to hold pressure much longer. I am going to pick another one of these and keep it in my closet for a spare. I don't think it is marked on the package, but this is a direct original replacement for gas generator (p/n 220E5891). You find this old stuff at a yard sale, you snatch it up, because it will probably last your life time and perhaps your children's lifetime. Oh did I mention this lantern will also burn gasoline and not just coleman fuel?

The product is obviously easy. However, the base needs a little bit tweaking. So far the quality is good, but it does not sound as good as my Apple HomePod mini, which sounds really good and has good bass. It’s obviously good for showing off music out loud. It could be used indoors or outdoors. Have not tested out inside of a tent. I’m not a camping person because of the bugs. However, getting the rechargeable battery into the speaker is a little bit difficult. I’m not sure if it’s me or it’s the product. at least it’s not tiny sounding. I also hooked it up to my steam deck, and it worked OK a little bit delayed. Maybe have a second delay, even though I’m right next to it. However, I use the rechargeable battery on my iPad mini and all of the charge went away quickly. -Wade Warner
