Century 7255 Matchless Two-Mantle Lantern and Case Combo Kit

I like this lantern a lot , the carrying case that it comes with is nice.I haven't used it a lot,just when the power has been off because of storms, but it works great when i do use it.

Trying to save money and give another brand a chance, now regret it. I do not understand my experience at all - installed the included mantles the proper way and upon lighting(by match because the lighter takes 5-10 strikes) the lantern - both mantles immediately sheared off just under string tie. Thinking this was a fluke, purchased Co**man mantles and installed them. Lighting and burning lantern for about 30 min. I now have a split in one of the new mantles. I am thinking there is a design defect in orifice, regulator, or who knows?Since lantern can't be classified as new sellable condition to return, think I will give it to charity and get a Co**man.

This is a great little lantern! Very bright, quiet and small to pack. The carry case is very handy.I even ordered a second one!

This is the best lantern I have owned thus far! The piezo-electric ignitor is great--no matches needed. It seems that all propane lanterns "whistle" a bit but this model is relatively quiet. Now if I could find a supplier for the mantles!

Works great at the deer hunting camp, would highly recommend it. I attach it to the small propane tank, with the two piece post, best buy I have made.

Picked one up new for 15 and its great. The only flaw was the false sense of security the bag provides. The globe was crushed and is temporarily useless without mantles or new globe.
