After a year of use, I can say that despite the low price, there's little to complain about. In other reviews, you can read that the wick moves around or the tank leaks, but this is probably a manufacturing defect that can be claimed under warranty. My unit had no flaws. The only downside is that extinguishing the wick is a bit inconvenient. You can't put it out by fully retracting it, because then it will likely fall into the kerosene tank, which you can imagine how that would end. You have to push it in as deep as possible but leave it sticking out a little and then blow it out hard like a candle. An additional nice feature would be a mirror for directional intensifying of the light, but below 50 PLN this would probably be at the expense of other elements, so it's negligible. In summary: at this price, you probably won't find anything better. If slightly more difficult extinguishing doesn't bother you, I fully recommend it. If someone thinks that the wick must be able to be extinguished with just the knob, you unfortunately have to look for a better, but also more expensive, model.
Classic kerosene lantern featuring an adjustable flame, inspired by US Army designs. Constructed from zinc-coated steel for corrosion resistance. Illumination is provided by a wick housed within a glass chimney, which offers reliable protection for the flame against harsh weather conditions.

Nice lamp, easy to use, it lights up. However, a serious downside is that the kerosene tank leaks—after every move, you can see a ring of kerosene on the surface. Also, installing the spare wick is almost impossible—and even after installing, it moves on its own, not as the owner wants.

At this price, it's hard to expect much more. The lamp gives a nice, bright light. You might have some issues with the fuel tank cap, which doesn't make it clear if it's tightened or not (it's partly pressed in and partly screwed in, strange design). If someone is looking for a lamp for occasional trips or a one-time camping trip, they definitely won't complain.

A lamp with great atmosphere. Simple and pleasant to use.

Very nice little lamp, I bought it for emergencies because it was on sale. Just one note: the wick is round, not flat like in most lamps.
-
Lightweight, well-made. Lacks a kerosene level indicator. The wick got stuck on the third use, I can't extinguish it with the knob, but the light is pleasant and it's worth the price.
