Coleman Pinnacle Propane Lantern


... I bought one of these lanterns two years ago and used it for camping for a week. It works great, easy to start and I love the carrying case is part of the lantern. Has handle on lantern and stores great. Has fold out legs to use for stability on the base. Pricey but you don't need to buy a case for it and it is quality. ...

Coleman 2-Burner Propane Grill Stove


... This stove does not have an igniter. It's match light only which is fine, but when shopping on Amazon the two models are virtually indistinguishable except this is like a buck less.

From my perspective, it's a waste to return this product just to get the igniter, but I have buyers remorse - not related to the product but purchasing this item via mail order. I may have saved a few bucks, but Amazon's stock goes way down in my book for not clearly marking this stove's feature. I can only imagine the numbers of returns (and wasted gas/miles) because of this little detail. Really, Amazon. Come on! ...

Coleman Sleeping Bag Compression Sack


... This was without a doubt the worst purchase I have made on Amazon. I bought this item for a recent camping trip. The first time I used it, one of the straps plastic buckles broke, the next day two of the straps pulled off of the bag, by the end of the trip the bottom of the bag tore as I was removing my sleeping bag from the sack. For a company of Colemans reputation this is a very inferior product. I would not recomend this item to anyone. ...

Coleman 12-Inch Steel Non-Stick Fry Pan


... This makes a great camping skillet. Handle folds for easy packing and it's not too heavy. We also use it at home sometimes because it's light, non-stick, and with handle folded it doesn't take up as much room as a traditional skillet. ...

Coleman Expandable Water Carrier (5-Gallon)


... I purchased this as an inexpensive secondary fermentation/bottling vessel for homebrewing. While waiting for my shipment to arrive I found an equivilant at my local Walmart for under $6.00 (Ozark Trail or something). The Coleman bottle has 2 molded handles which will eventually pose a cleaning problem since water flows through them. My spigot leaks around the green screw connector. The container has a strong 'plastic' smell. I'm not sure how that will effect the flavor of water (or brew in my case). Over all I'm not pleased with the Coleman purchase.

The Walmart brand was perfect, leak free and excellent for fermenting and bottling in one easy step. The collapsable design eliminated chugging and it was BPA free, (a widely used chemical used to make plastic food and drinking containers).

FYI - I did not check spelling. :) ...

Coleman 40-Quart Wheeled Cooler with Cup Holder Lid (Blue)


... The handle on this cooler is too short. At 5'5", I am the shortest person in my family, and even I had to stoop over a bit to roll this thing. Taller members found it downright uncomfortable to haul. If you lift up on the handle so that you can stand upright, the cooler tilts far back toward the wheels and at times fell over on its short side. Filled with drinks and ice it gets very heavy, and is difficult to move even with the wheels. To anybody at Coleman: please invent a cooler with four wheels, (with a collapsible long handle) that you can roll along like a baby stroller. My aching back will thank you. On the plus side, the coldness of the thing was great. To experiment, I have not emptied the cooler since our picnic over 48 hours ago, and there is still ice in there and the drinks are still cold. ...

Coleman Multi-Use Picnic Basket


... This is a great versatile product.

I ordered to use as a laundry basket while out camping. Before my camping trip I had it around my house and found it made a great trash can. I just threw a bag in it and it held up great even when it was full.

It's a lot more stable that the looks in the pictures. It has metal rings forming the round shape, and straight metal supports w/velcro that keep it upright.

I highly recommend this product. Don't limit it to just camping. ...

Coleman 8D Square Pack-Away Lantern with Remote Control


... Used this lantern on a recent camping trip and it made life a little easier for my wife and I. The remote is what makes all the difference. We kept this lantern inside the tent and used the remote to light the way prior to entering.

The light output is sufficient enough to read by. There are two output settings, but I couldn't tell the difference between the two.

We've only put about 8 total hours on the lantern so I can't report on the longevity but seems to be well built and could handle some abuse. All in all, I would buy another one if needed. ...

Coleman 150-Quart Cooler Marine with Rope Handles (White)


... Great product!!

Keeps the cold in for days. Also has compartments for storing other things ontop. Has separator for storing ice on one side or the other (Basically you dont have to spread the ice in the entire cooler, you can have it all together in one corner). Has standard drainage on bottom for release of water.

These last forever, I purchased mine because a friend has had one for over 10 years.

Coleman Overnighter SpaceSaver Air Bed (25" x 72")


... I purchased 2 of these for camping and they are so much more comfortable than any air mattress we have tried. My husband and I usually sleep on a Queen sized aerobed and since he is heavier than I am I would be way up in the air and then way down on the floor when he got up. These work perfectly for camping and give us more room in the tent. The mattress' hold the air for a long time, too. ...

Coleman Cable 02588 12/3 50-Foot Vinyl Outdoor Extension Cord, Yellow


... I used it with my 12 AMP mower (on and off) for about an hour and a half. Mower still works. Cord still works. Does the job as far as I'm concerned.

Hmmm. Someone gave me a not helpful feedback. Really? OK.

Let's see. Ran over cord with said mower - sustained only minor damage. Cord is kind of heavy. Cord was almost - but not quite - long enough for my typical suburban lot. I'd recommend a 100 footer for anyone buying one for their mower. ...

Coleman Crestline Dome Tent (9-Feet,10-Inch x 7-Feet)


... I purchased this tent from a local sporting goods store about 5 years ago. It has been used on several weekend camping trips, first with my son, and now with my daughter. We are in the YMCA Adventure Guide/Princess program. The tent has been great, it still looks almost as good as new. Granted, we have not encountered any really severe weather, but it stood tall through several pretty windy (30-35mph) nights. I would recommend this tent for no more than two adults, or 1 adult and two younger kids. It is not a 4 person tent. Me, one of my kids and all our gear is perfect. If your crew is the right size, this is the right tent. ...

Coleman 13 x 11 Insta-Clip Screen


... I have had 3 screen tents - all made by different companies. The others all lasted for several years and finally junked when the zippers died. The Coleman was only on its second summer when it croaked. The fabric became brittle from the sun and tore easily on top. The configuration of the poles on top made it hold water in a couple of pockets on top which meant you had to go out and drain it or it would of collapsed. The poles were lighter weight than others I have had and bent easily.
I think I'll check another brand and skip Coleman. ...

Coleman Road Trip Pro Grill


... After reading the reviews here and doing a lot of comparison shopping, we bought the Roadtrip to use on our patio and while car camping. It has the hottest surface of all we looked at and it has performed really well (fish, veggies in a basket, corn, shishkabob, hamburgers, steak fillets, eggs and sausage with griddle). I like the fact the lid is high enough to close while cooking and the porcelain grill surface cleans pretty well.

It is heavy but the features (knobs, wheels, etc) feel very solid. Its a trade off but I think the sturdiness of it make it well worth the weight. I bought a full sized tank for the patio and bought disposable ones for camping. Not sure if it was my imagination or not but the portable ones don't feel like they have the same pressure and so grill doesn't burn as hot.

I do worry when it is in closed position about the tank nozzle which sticks out and should be removed when transporting it.

I ordered the cast iron griddle for it but it doesn't really fit well so have returned it. The carrying case shown on Amazon I couldn't get to fit. It went back too. have since purchased a nice griddle with handles and really like using it with this grill.

I based some of my decision on the reviews here, so figured I better write one too. I am not dissatisfied so far (after probably a dozen or so uses). I'd make the same decision again. ...

... when our four chairs arrived we put them away for our camping trip. When we opened them one month later every chair has bent gromets. the part that holds the table to the chair are all bent. So the tables do not open all the way. The gromets are a small flat piece of metel that holds the table onto the chair frame. So the tables hit the frame of the chair in stead of opening all the way. One chair has bad frame damage where the table hits the frame. These are supost to be NEW CHAIRS. ...
