After a year of use, I can say that despite the low price, there is hardly anything to complain about. In other reviews you can find information about a flying wick and a leaking tank, but these are rather single defects that can be claimed under warranty. My unit didn't have these issues. The only drawback is that it's harder to extinguish the wick – you can't hide it completely, as it would then fall into the tank; you have to leave it just a little outside and blow it out like a candle. A mirror to direct the light would be useful, but for this price that would be asking too much. In summary: it's difficult to find something better in this range. If someone doesn't mind the slightly more complicated extinguishing, I fully recommend it. If you want to extinguish the wick just using the knob, it's better to look for a more expensive model.

Nice and easy to use lamp, it gives light, but a big disadvantage is the leakiness of the kerosene tank – after each move it leaves a mark on the floor. Replacing the wick is also very difficult and even after installation it can slide uncontrolled.
-
For this price it’s hard to expect more. The lamp gives a nice, bright light. I have some reservations about the fuel tank cap – it's hard to tell if it's tightly closed as the construction is unusual (partially pushed in, partially screwed on). For people who need a lamp for occasional trips or a one-off camp, it will be perfectly sufficient.

Great lamp – provides a lot of light with low kerosene consumption and creates a unique atmosphere.
-
The lamp creates a great atmosphere, and using it is easy and pleasant.
-
A very nice lamp, bought just in case during a promotion. The only minus – the wick used is round, not flat as in most lamps.
-
Light and solidly made. It's a pity there isn't a kerosene level indicator. After the third use, the wick got stuck and I couldn't extinguish it with the knob, but the light is pleasant and I think it's worth buying at this price.
-
Very nice lamp, as simple to use as any kerosene lamp. Perfect for camping or in case of a power cut.
-
The operation is very easy, the light is pleasant – ideal for both camping and use at home in the evening. I recommend it!
-
This classic kerosene lamp helps create a great atmosphere. I highly recommend it!
