Coleman 700 Lumens Premium Dual Fuel Lantern with Storage Case

I was happy to have this lantern on a recent camping trip. I had seen another camper using one in a park a few weeks prior. I was impressed by the warm glow and brightness produced by the lantern. It lit up our site very well. Very easy to use with instructions right on the lantern base.

My husband thinks his Christmas present of a Coleman Dual-Fuel Lantern is great. He has already used it camping and had no problem lighting it and getting it started. He has no complaints about it at all. Great gift.

Love the lantern. Keeps the campsite lit all night.

I grew up camping with one of these. My dad taught me how to use and take care of it when I was very young, and it became my job to light the lantern whenever it started getting dark. The build quality is perfect. The light it gives off is warm and bright. I pumped it up and put it on low in the middle of our table and it burned all night, was great low light for middle of the night trips to the bathroom. The only note I have is WATCH OUT FOR THE METAL NUT ON THE TOP Me being groggy in the morning sat my hand right on top of it and it was still quite hot.

As an occasional camper, I wasn't sure how much use I'd get out of this Coleman dual fuel lantern, but it's become an absolute favorite. Yes, it's fantastic on camping trips, but it also shines my own deck at home. We don't have an outdoor fireplace, and honestly, this lantern gives me that same sense of serenity I've been craving. There's something magical about the warm, golden glow paired with that gentle hissing sound—it creates the perfect ambiance for unwinding after a long day. The adjustable flame lets me dial it down to a soft, flickering glow for a relaxed evening, or crank it up when I need serious light. Pair it with a cup of tea (made on my Coleman 533 with a tea kettle) or a glass of whiskey, and you've got the perfect setup for an evening to unwind and slow down.

I was gifted this lantern in 1996 from my Father. It has been through many camping trips and I use it on my deck at night due to being able to adjust the brightness. I love this lantern! A word to the wise... be sure to have a back-up fuel generator if you plan on using unleaded fuel as it will eventually clog. If you only use the White fuel and and keep it maintained, it will last for many years to come.

In the fist picture you will see the new 2016 A285 on the left at full brightness. On the right my 1940 Coleman 220D at full brightness. The older Coleman is both much larger and heavier but also after 76 years still puts more light! I'm sure it will still out last the smaller new Coleman made of stamped steel and plastic. The glass in the new lantern is not pyrex like the old ones and seems to small and restricts the holes making it harder to light the mantels. It in fact is so under size that it is hard to center and is off to one side with out being centered each time before lighting. I just found out they do make a larger A295 called the power house , it should be brighter . I would go with that and hope the construction is better too. At the end of the day to get a new lantern with case just over $60.00 its not a bad deal, if your packing in and want something small and light it's my first choice. But this is not father's or grandfathers Coleman lantern.

Works as expected, I actually think it was out performing my "Powerhouse" lantern on my last trip certanly was going longer without needing pumping. Case clips feel a little flimsy compared to the case I have for my older peak 1 lantern.

Unit was well packed and protected in shipment. However, there was a large area of the ventilator (top) section left without the porcelain coating. If I used it in that condition the metal would rapidly rust and degrade. I attempted to contact Coleman via its website, and it connected me with its 'AI' support. It asked for the date code and serial number before it would assist me. I supplied that information, and it said that I had provided sufficient information to get support. It then ended the conversation and did not provide me with any additional support, nor did it answer my question as to how to get the defective part replaced. Their support is poor, and releasing an obviously defective product from the factory without any way to honor their warranty leaves me quite disappointed. Other lantern manufacturers provide warranty support (I have experience with them). I am very disappointed with Coleman, and recommend against purchasing a Coleman lantern.

This was for a camping trip to celebrate my 66th birthday. It didn't work . The gas would not flow, it pumped up okay, I had pressure, just wouldn't release it when I opened the valve. Very disappointed. Coleman used to be good . Threw it away in disgust
