Customers like the weight of the flashlight. For example, they say it's very light, not too bulky, and easy to carry. Some like that it'll very bright, and compact enough to fit in the corner of the car trunk. That said, most are happy with the weight and size of the product.

Customers are mixed about the brightness of the flashlight. Some mention that it's wonderfully bright, well made, and adequate for walking to the toilet or taking the dogs out at a campground at night. However, others say that it is disappointing that it wasn't brighter considering it'd be using LEDs with that huge output. They also say that the On/Off button causes light to drop-off and the battery was so dead that it would not even power on.

"...Decent light output - comparable to another 85 lumen flashlight I own. For the money, the build quality is pretty solid...." Read more
"...First, at least for the one I got, the description is wrong. There are not 10 LEDs. Mine has 4. The light output rating is wrong...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the quality of the flashlight. Some mention that it's well built, durable, and has a solid center beam. However, others say that the quality is not great, the frame is very cheaply made, and the light itself looks cheaply done.

"...They also perform well in cold, in some instances working when an alkaline cell wouldn't...." Read more
"...After not knowing what to do as I could not get this to work. Should be simple.... I'm not a rocket scientist, but I'm pretty smart...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the battery life of the flashlight. Some mention that it comes with a big battery that should last for a very long time, while others say that it has a limited life.
"...The included 6V cell is NOT alkaline, but carbon-zinc. I knew this when I bought it, and - for the money - I'm okay with it...." Read more
"Well made very bright and really like the 6v battery....lasts a long time. Not many made like this anymore...." Read more
"...I think it means this battery has a limited life. I compared it to a Die Hard 6v battery and the latter weighs at least 10x as much...." Read more
"...But I tried the battery in the other one and result is the battery is just Dead. One w/ barely any juice in it at all, and the other w/ None...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the ease of installation of the flashlight. Some mention it's easy to use and set up right out of the box, while others say there were not even basic installation instructions. They also say it'd be difficult to put together and work with.
"...To my dismay, there are no instructions, no nibs marking a "sweet spot" and only by luck, do I have an internet connection...." Read more
"...The lantern works as advertised. The battery is easy to install. The thin plastic and rattle of the battery inside the case are of little concern...." Read more

"...Overall the construction is just OK for a $5 light. Cheap brittle plastic, including the lens...." Read more
"...The electrical switch and it's rubberized cover had popped loose during transit. The manufacturer is as much to blame as the packager...." Read more
"...connecting the battery housing to the LED housing -- they are very thin, and experience with other units tells me they probably won't last past the..." Read more

July 2020 Update: I can't believe this $4.80 (at the time) flash light is still working on the original battery. I had mentioned it wasn't very rugged, but it has managed to survive being dropped a few times on a concrete floor with no signs of damage. It mostly sits in my garage, where it's exposed to 80°F ~ 100°F in the summer and as low as 40°F in the winter. After 2.5 years, the beam is still nice and strong (for a sub $5 light). IMO, as long as expectations are reasonable, this is a very good value-priced flashlight.
Anyway, the main point is that this lantern puts out a bright beam of light, but the drain on the battery is probably no worse than a single PR incandescent bulb. For occasional use the battery life is probably limited by aging, which is probably around 2-3 years. For use as an emergency light, you may want to get an alkaline battery which should have a shelf life of 5 - 6 years.
Note that cheap 6V lantern batteries alone run around $4 - $6, the alkalines twice that.
Despite the doubts of some reviewers, this lantern WILL float (at least with the supplied 6V lantern battery - an alkaline battery may be heavier), though it is not hermetically waterproof and may not work, or maybe even will fail eventually, after immersion.
Considering the price (cheaper than you'll see even in a home-improvement store), it's kind of hard not to buy this flashlight--and so I bought two. Hurricane season is coming and I'm on the shore in Connecticut, so it's time to start stocking up on flashlights, etc. (Last year we took the full brunt of Hurricane Sandy and I *stupidly* had run out of fresh batteries--and, naturally, all the stores quickly sold out.)
Anyway, this flashlight is pretty bright and I like the quality of LED lighting--it's a very white, clean-looking light. I'm not sure that the beam will live up to Rayovac's claims of over 400', but for that kind of lighting, there are better lights anyway. I am able to light up the fence at the rear of my property from the kitchen door which is a distance of about 75' and it's fine. I can also light up the tree tops of some 100' white pines. Beyond that though, not so much.
Still when you consider the price of the 6v battery, this is a bargain at around $5 (with the battery). But ok, speaking of that battery: it's a VERY lightweight battery--it weighs almost nothing and, I'm no battery expert, but I don't think that's a good thing. I think it means this battery has a limited life. I compared it to a Die Hard 6v battery and the latter weighs at least 10x as much. It's shocking how different the weights are. (If you know a lot about batteries and can explain this, please do--I'd love to know more.)
Also, the battery rattles around in the flashlight case a bit--none of my other lantern flashlights have any play. I'm thinking of cramming some paper or bubble wrap in the bottom just to snug things up a bit.
But, considering what this sells for, I think I'll buy two more--especially since the shipping was free. How can you beat that? My personal advice is that every room in your house should have one big flashlight all year around and it should be in the same place all the time so you can find it in the dark. I sat in my den last year with 100mph winds bashing the house and I resolved never, ever to be undersupplied on anything again. I have to say though, the storm was a blast to watch :)
Be safe. Maybe I'll go buy a few cases of water.
