Coleman 36-Quart Xtreme Cooler (Blue)

Coleman 428-700 3 Burner Dual Fuel Deluxe Liquid Fuel Stove


... This stove is a timeless classic who's quality speaks for itself; its reputation is well-earned. I agree with the other reviews that attest to its quality, durability, its economical operation and the flexibility of being able to use unleaded gas.

When I received it, I found out why the 2-burner model is much more popular than this one --> At 32" wide and nearly 20 pounds, this 3-burner model is dramatically larger than the 24" wide, 12 pound, 2-burner model.

Before ordering this model, I advise you to consider the added size and weight of the third burner in this model. It's certainly better for cooking than the 2-burner model, but it might be more stove than you want to carry. ...

Coleman Twin Double-High Quickbed with Wrap 'N' Roll Storage


... We needed a bed for weekends when my wife and I take turns spending the night in our medically fragile son's rooms (nurses 5 nights a week). We tried several other air mattresses, many developed leaks or were just not comfortable. This bed is very comfortable, quick to inflate, easy to store. If this gets punctured somehow, we'll get another just like it. ...

Coleman Fuel Filler


... Most of the Coleman products already come with a funnel/filter to allow users to easily fill their camping stoves and lanterns, however it is easy to make a mess and spill fuel all over the place. This filler makes the job easy and with no overspill.

The issue is that this filler doesn't contain a filter so assumes that your can of fuel is clean with minimal debris. With a new can of fuel it works fine - but if you have an old can lying around you may want to use the filter/funnels instead. The design also relies on the user to listen to the gurgling of the fuel entering which may be difficult to hear in a loud campsite. All these are minor issues I've hit, but for its intended purpose it is a great tool to have. ...

Coleman Girls Scattered Sleeping Bag


... The pattern and colors of this sleeping bag is really cute and girlie. The zipper works great and is easy enough even for my 2 year old daughter to open and close. Its warm, yet not too warm...for summer camping and indoor movie parties.

I gave this sleeping bag 4/5 stars because:
-I am not too fond of the ties that secure the sleeping bag once rolled (I like the traditional elastic)
-The fabric is of cheap quality. ...

Coleman Hot Water-On-Demand Portable Water Heater


... I've had this for 4 years at my (waterless) cabin, and it works very well. The water we use comes off the roof into a rain barrel, and it was easy to adapt the pump to screw into the rain barrel. We do have power inside the cabin, so recharging the battery is easy. Our battery lasts for about a month of quick showers, and I have noticed that after 4 years, it doesn't hold a charge quite as well. In the cold, the battery needs recharging more quickly. I use this every evening, 4 months of the year, for a quick 2 gallon shower.

A small propane cylinder lasts about 3 weeks of daily showers. The propane heats up the water very quickly--usually in 3 seconds. I avoid wasting that water by putting the hose in a bucket for those 3 seconds; then I pour the bucket of cold water back into the rain barrel. Simple.

The water temperature can get extremely hot, so do be cautious.

I give this machine my highest recommendation. ...

Coleman Hooligan 2 Backpacking Tent


... I chose this tent because of the favorable reviews from previous Amazon customers. We recently used this for a casual two-night camping trip at someone's ranch and were very satisfied. The set up was very easy. I'm six feet tall and had more than enough room to stretch out for sleeping. There was enough room to store our stuff at one end of the tent. I don't know how it would fair in harsh weather (rain, winds, etc.). But, I'm not planning to sleep out in that kind of weather anyway. ...

Coleman Double-Sized Quickbed with 4D Pump and Wrap 'N' Roll Storage


... This product is worth the price but its probably meant more for overnight guests or light camping. It inflates/deflates in about a minute or two. Don't forget to buy batteries! I think its really comfortable and it stays full overnight. It also stores really nicely into about a 12x8 roll. I liked it enough to buy a second one (If you buy more than one, save money and only buy one that comes with the pump and any after that just the mattress) ...

Coleman 2-Burner Fold 'N Go InstaStart Stove


... I really wanted to like this thing. It's pretty, and the design is clever. Bought it because I wanted something more compact than my old, finicky 2-burner white gas stove. I liked the folding design, easy ignition, simplicity of propane fuel, claim of consistent performance even when fuel is low.

Day one of a 3-day trip, fuel bottle 80% full, stove roared to life easily, cooked hot. Valve very touchy, couldn't open it more than 1/6 of a turn w/o overheating. By day 3, bottle 25% full, opened the valve 2 complete revolutions and still the flame wasn't hot enough to cook a pancake. My daughter, who usually likes my pancakes, was unimpressed to say the least.

Reasons: 1) lack of windscreen. With even a light breeze, the heat just blows sideways. 2) very high pot support. Distance from burner to pot more than double that of other stoves. Exacerbates problem #1. 3) poor regulator.

I took the stove back to the store and swapped for a less expensive Century model. Using the same depleted fuel bottle that didn't have enough pressure remaining to brown a pancake on the Coleman, I cooked a whole batch of pancakes with the Century--AFTER boiling water for rice. Saved enough $$ on the exchange to buy a large refillable propane tank. Now I'm a happy camper.

BTW, before you buy any stove that uses disposable fuel bottles, think about how you will get rid of them. Especially if it's a product like this, which renders the last 25% of your fuel virtually useless. ...

Coleman 16 x 14 Insta-Clip Screen


... I bought the Coleman Insta-Clip specifically for my company picnic. I did not want family members being bothered with insects. I personally have never been camping and have never put anything together. The installation process required 5 of my co-workers (lol), 6 including myself. Breaking down the tent took 3 people and was done very quickly. The tent was spacious. We set it up over a picnic table that sat a comfortable 6 people, 2 ice chest, 7 small to medium bags with food and stuff, 42L x 28W x 30H dog crate and room for my 75 pound dog to walk around. ...

Coleman 2 Burner Dual Fuel Premium Compact Liquid Fuel Stove


... This is a great product. We used it everyday, several times a day for 5 days for a family of four (Two men, two women (translated: 2 big eaters, 2 little eaters). It is constructed well and we think it will last a long time. It stores nicely. Simple to use. Easy to clean. Flame even and hot. Boils water fast (important for coffe in AM!). Flame never blew out. Can use one or both burners. Fuel tank keeps pressure for long time...easily enough to cook the meal; if it does go low, easy to pump pressure right up in a few quick strokes. Spacious enough for a 12quart pot and a frying pan if you open wings. Thoroughly recommend. ...

Coleman 6-Day 58 Qt. Ultimate Xtreme Cooler


... We always use frozen 16 oz. water bottles to keep our coolers cool because as they thaw, they don't make a watery mess and we can drink the water. This cooler has kept bottles frozen for days in a metal bear box in the sun. It's a great cooler, but the hinges are cheap, thin plastic that break almost every time you use it. You can order new hinges and replace them, but it gets old. ...

Coleman Lighted Sundome Tent, 12'x10'


... The tent was really spacious and comfortable. We didn't seal it until the second night, but it didn't leak at all. The zippers on the doors are a little stiff, hopefully they'll loosen up. We loved the light up top, and the little 'kitty flap' on the side as well. The door mats are a bit useless though, and we bought new stakes as well.
Really happy with the purchase! ...

Coleman 8D Family Size LED Lantern


... I like this little LED lantern. You can adjust the amount of light you need. Even on the highest setting, it does not seem very bright, but if you are in total darkness, like a power outage, it is perfectly fine for
doing what you need to do. Yes, it could stand to be a little brighter.
The biggest problem I have with it is, the glass is clear, and there is nothing to filter the glare of the LED and reflector. It's very annoying. I solved the problem by cutting a 4 1/2 X 10'' strip of white tissue paper and wrapping it around the glass. Not only did this fix the glare, the tissue paper also acts as a "diffuser" and spreads the light evenly, and softly in every direction without effecting the overal brightness. It just made it softer, and more pleasant. The lamp does not get hot, so no worries. I have had the light on high all night, no problems.
So, with the tissue paper diffuser I give it a 4 star rating, without the diffuser, I would give it 2 stars, simply because the glare is so annoying. ...

I'm an average-sized woman (5'5", 150 lbs) and when I lean back into a "relaxed" position, the front of the chair tends to lift a little. Also, just not that comfortable for my back. Love the tray, love the sturdiness, but not sure I'll keep this one. ...

Coleman Colossal 20-Degree Rectangular Sleeping Bag (Super King)


... I bought this bag for spring through fall camping. It is a good weight for the kind of temps we typically get in the midwest this time of year. The lining is soft and not too warm. Size-wise, it is nice and long and wide... very roomy even for a larger adult like myself.

I do have two complaints, however, that keep me from rating it higher than three stars. The attached cover for the bag is at the head of the bag, so depending on how you are using the bag, that cover is in your face! Secondly, no matter how tightly I roll the sleeping bag, I cannot get it to fit inside the cover neatly again. For the price, I expected a better design. ...

... I just bought this mattress and so far, it arrived in a timely manner, was very easy to inflate (fast too!), is zipped together when it arrives (which was fine since I am using this twin-size and folded in half as shown) so you only have to snap the two clips together after inflating (if you want to use double height) and has a nice covering and is comfortable (as air mattresses go). I also bought the pump and it works fine too. Have not had it long enough to see if it springs leaks but I suspect it will not. Very pleased so far. ...

Coleman RoadTrip Full-Size Aluminum Griddle


... We bought this griddle, which states it is for use with all Coleman Road Trip grills, for our larger-size Coleman Road Trip Pro Grill SS
Coleman Road Trip Pro Grill SS
First, we confirmed that, although this griddle is smaller and fits the smaller Coleman Road Trip Grills, such as
Coleman 9949-750 Road Trip Grill, Red
Coleman 9941-768 Road Trip Grill (Blue)
this griddle would still work in the larger grills. (The one-sided pieces available for the smaller grills, will not work in the larger Road Trip grills.)

Instructions that came with the griddle said to not use it with other grilling surfaces, so we took out the grate, and after some maneuvering, found that the best placement is toward the front (with the fat catcher toward the front), with the small legs resting on the heat tents. We cannot close the grill lid while using the griddle, but this isn't necessary - the grill is plenty hot enough, set just slightly above medium.

The first time I used this griddle, I was amazed. No other griddle I have ever used (ESPECIALLY the electric griddle I have inside), produces the even heating of this one. The bacon came out excellent, each of the six slices (1/4 pound) heating evenly, placed wide across the griddle face. The bacon was fatty, and the grease catcher filled approximately 1/4 to 1/3 full (the griddle was at a very slight slant toward the grease catcher), so was fully capable of holding up to a pound without overflowing.

I followed with an omelet for my husband and two eggs over-easy for myself. Even though the griddle was at a slight slant, the eggs only slightly started running, but because the surface so evenly heated, I was able to just touch them with my spatula and they did not run further.

It was the best breakfast of its type that we have had. Our electric stove (appliance)inside does not heat our anodized, nonstick, even-heating pans as evenly as the Road Trip Grill with the Aluminum Griddle. I look forward to more great breakfasts from this awesome griddle and highly recommend it to anyone with any of the Coleman grills on which it can be used. ...
