... had one of these in camp for our summer family trip. i'll say this: it works. it's reliable. it really does light with the push of a button.
my complaints: the brightness only goes between 'ark of the covenant' and 'off'. they're not joking around when they say it's significantly brighter than other lanterns. the instant start, while reliable, isn't the best-operating setup. it does click on with a push of a button. but you've hit the button a good dozen times, waiting for the propane to get down to the ignition. the resulting mini-fireball, inside the globe, is entertaining but frustrating. the 'thud' of ignition is also rather suprising.
but like all coleman products, despite any complaints you could ever have... it works like crazy. long tank life, bright, easier than fumbling with matches or a lighter, it really does have a lot going for it.
