Design & Aesthetics

Pros:

  • "The overall shape and construction makes it look so much fancier than others I have owned."
  • "The silver finish gives them a sleek and modern look, making them a stylish addition to my kitchen."
  • "I ordered the Champagne Gold and it is beautiful."
  • "The shinny silver makes the light look classy."
  • "It matches the aesthetic of my house much better :)"
  • "Visually this product is sleek and stylish! Way better than having those aesthetic-ruining (for me) Bic lighters."
  • "The gold color is pretty and the sleek design makes it look nice enough to leave out next to my candles."

Cons:

  • "The lighter itself was also updated and the black plastic part that 'ignights' the lighter looks much clunkier in my opinion."
  • "Plus the champagne gold color I ordered is hideous and not like the picture."
  • "It is so cute, does kind of look like a vape pen at first glance though."
  • "I thought these were really elegant, looking lighters to keep beside my candles for easy lighting, but I’ve had two of them, and neither one of them lasted more than 6 months."
  • "It's lightweight and sleek and about the size of a pen."
  • "This was a waste of time and money."
  • "They’re beautiful, easy to use…"

Functionality & Ease of Use

Pros:

  • "These are fantastic candle lighters, rarely have to be charged."
  • "It’s so easy lighting birthday candles with this lighter."
  • "Easy to use, easy to charge, a marvelous thing."
  • "It quickly and easily lights candles, even those pesky ones that always seem to be just out of reach."
  • "Perfect for someone with children to use instead of regular lighters."
  • "This works very well. It has a light to indicate when it’s on and shuts off for safety if you leave it on which is good."
  • "This little gadget is perfect for lighting candles."

Cons:

  • "Very disappointed, especially because this was bought to avoid buying more lighters in the future."
  • "Ever since I purchased it I have to charge it after lighting ONE wick."
  • "I'm returning this item as I do not want to continue to recharge after every other use."
  • "The product is a great idea but simply does not work."
  • "The only reason I'm sending back is that when you use the lighter it makes a very high-pitched noise."
  • "Do not buy. I was at a house party and saw this golden looking vape... Instead I was surprised to have my tongue blow up in flames."
  • "The device just does not last very long."

Safety & Child Protection

Pros:

  • "I like the safety button feature so you don't accidentally catch your house on fire."
  • "So far I like using this lighter because it’s pretty cool. The actual lighter end kind of reminds me of a taser. There is an on/off button but other than that there aren’t any child-lock or safety features."
  • "I really like the retractable part so that the tips are protected."
  • "The on/off switch on the bottom is great for safety and the battery life is impressive for a rechargeable lighter."
  • "I love that it can be recharged. That's a huge safety feature."
  • "The safety button adds an extra layer of protection, preventing accidental activation and keeping my home safe."
  • "Love the safety lock on it, I didn't have to worry about the kids getting into my things and lighting up our bathroom candles."

Cons:

  • "It is a 2 pack, but it is in the same package, so you cannot gift separately."
  • "Since this was a concern, we just store it in a cabinet higher up."
  • "I do have some slight concerns regarding child safety."
  • "But I wouldn’t recommend for dog owners. When I use this my dogs can hear it from the other side of the house and it makes them whimper."
  • "Every time I tried to use it the lighter would emit this high pitched noise that really bothered me and my husband’s tinnitus."
  • "It sucks even worse when you have a 3 wick candle because now I have to unplug and re-plug it in between every wick just for it to stay on to spark the wick."
  • "The noise that it emits gives me crippling pain in my ears and brain."

Battery Life & Charging

Pros:

  • "One charge lasts a long time! It’s a tiny little 'flame' that lights the candles and I’ve lit incense sticks as well."
  • "Works really well and I haven't had to recharge it since I bought it, which is amazing!"
  • "I’ve had this lighter over a year and have only charged it once with regular use!"
  • "Using it once a day it lasts about 6 or 7 weeks."
  • "I’ve only owned this for a couple weeks, tried to contact customer service but the page does not exist after I submit my request."
  • "I received mine mid-October and I didn't have to charge it until late December."
  • "I light a candle daily or every few days and have only had to charge it once."

Cons:

  • "Then the battery does not hold a charge for very long."
  • "We loved this lighter right away, but it appears the battery went out, so we went ahead to charge it and now it won’t turn on."
  • "I tried to recharge it by plugging it into multiple plugs, using different boxes, and also used a different cord that what it came with. just no longer charges."
  • "After a while, it would not pop out anymore and it is useless without being able to charge it."
  • "Obviously I used the word was a lot because it needed charged and when we plugged it in the plastic snapped. It’s now unusable ): "
  • "It lasts for 5 seconds and then dies completely...It has an issue holding charge and I'm not sure if I got a defective one or what the issue is."
  • "It’s only been about 2 years and today this stopped working out of nowhere."
