KTEBO Rechargeable Electric Windproof Accessories Reviews Summary

Design and Usability

Pros:

• "Best arc lighter I have ever purchased. Great design, manufacturers did a great job."
• "The lighter has a flexible tip so it bends if needed."
• "It bends easily to whatever position you want it to be, and it's not like a loose bend either. It stays put."
• "The long flexible neck reaches those hard to reach spots."
• "It’s made of a quality stainless steel with a flexible end for ease when lighting candles, grills, etc."
• "You can bend the neck (so no more burning my hand lighting 3 or more wick candles), it is rechargeable, and there is a battery indicator so you know when it needs to be charged, it has a safety lock and is nice looking."
• "The flexible neck is very east to bend to the angle you need."

Cons:

• "After a few uses, metal tipped housing fell off."
• "The supplied cable is laughably short."
• "Micro USB charge port is outdated, should have been USB C."
• "The build quality of these lighters feels flimsy and cheap, which made me question their durability."
• "The tip was charred and melting after a split second test to see how they work."
• "The tip does get hot FYI. So if you usually place it by plastic in the drawer, beware."
• "Unfortunately the end you plug into the power source is USB-A."

Safety and Convenience

Pros:

• "Very safe and easy to use."
• "Definitely keep it away from kids. If they touched the end they could have a serious burn."
• "These are much safer than a flame lighter...and much more environmentally responsible."
• "As a safety feature, the button to use the lighter is separate from the switch to turn on the power."
• "I like the safety switch so it doesn’t turn on when not in use."
• "Safety switch to prevent accidental ignition."
• "I have nephews and I feel like this type of lighter is a bit safer to have around when they’re over."

Cons:

• "It produces a high frequency pitch that can damage hearing if you leave it on continuously."
• "The safty on of switch should be spring loaded for safty it can be left on or very gently bumped in junk drawer and button pressed very easily very dangerous in that way but it works."
• "I docked it one star for a safety issue- there is absolutely no 'safety' switch on it."
• "It is potentially dangerous when gas does not ignite and starts to accumulate."
• "I did make the mistake of touching the spark. Gave me a pretty good jolt."
• "Just have to make sure you slide the button down so it won't go off if something touches the switch."
• "The space between the igniters is relatively small."

Battery and Charging

Pros:

• "I’ve had them for several weeks now and have not even had to recharge yet."
• "Long-lasting charge, from what I’ve seen so far, and it has a lithium-ion battery."
• "This has been amazing, quick charge and ready to go. Charge last a long time."
• "It takes about 30-45 minutes to fully charge, and last anywhere from a week to a month."
• "Recharges quickly and holds a charge for 100's of uses."
• "The battery lasts for days when not in use."
• "The battery is long-lasting, more than 1 month."

Cons:

• "Battery died after lighting about 6 incense."
• "After three weeks of use the device failed to hold a charge that lasted long enough to light more than two 3 wick candles."
• "Works great at starting candles and incense but disappointed it doesn't hold a charge."
• "One of the lighters will only turn on three times before the whole charge is gone."
• "I have to charge this every day."
• "It does not stay charged for even a full day."
• "Also, if you don't use them for one day, then try and use it, it will die after one use."

Performance and Effectiveness

Pros:

• "These work great and are so easy to use in lighting candles and other items that a match or gas lighter would get needed for."
• "I love electric lighters! So much better for the environment and so so easy to use!"
• "The lighter lights a candle better than a regular lighter."
• "It's totally silent, no clicking."
• "What an upgrade from using regular lighters! These were very affordable, receiving 2 for essentially the price of one."
• "It lights easily with no sulfur smell and no fuel to buy and refill."
• "This was so easy to use - lit 3 wick candle easily and tea candle."

Cons:

• "These lighters are not designed to light anything bigger than a small candle."
• "Have to press and hold down button 3 times to light one incense."
• "It is difficult to get anything close enough to get lit and if you get too close it doesn't work at all."
• "While this works for candles well, it does not start a grill burner at all."
• "Not sure how these can light a BBQ flame. The leads are 1/8 inch apart, and the spark doesn't arc."
• "There were a couple times I struggled to get something lit that a traditional lighter would have probably done faster."
• "Just makes an irritating high pitched noise when using it."

Value and Cost-Effectiveness

Pros:

• "In a few months, this two pack will probably pay for itself."
• "A single charge seems to provide at least half as many lights as a disposable gas unit, so with recharges, the price per use is radically better."
• "What an upgrade from using regular lighters! These were very affordable, receiving 2 for essentially the price of one."
• "Can be recharged over and over and is a great bargain at this price!"
• "These are a good deal. Two for less than the cost of one at a big box retailer."
• "Considering they are about same price as fueled disposable ones I’m ok if only get a year out of them."
• "Value: cheap at about $5."

Cons:

• "China straight to the landfill JUNK!"
• "This tech isn't ready for primetime yet."
• "I only got 1 lighter and in a very different package than the one pictured."
• "I would be ok paying the 4 bucks for 1 lighter, but if the description says it’s 2, I expect to receive 2."
• "I bought the pretty and colorful ones for Christmas gifts and those are already not working."
• "If these two electronic lighters wear out quickly, I'll find something else."
• "Have to charge about every 10 uses now after 30 they do not work."
