I have no idea why these get such great reviews.

If you attempt to hang one or even carry one by the handle the heat escaping from the vents at the top will burn the crap out of your hand, burn through small branches and ABSOLUTELY should NEVER be hung anywhere in a tent or canvas shelter. And if you set it down the carry handle sticks out from the side and makes it impossible to set on smaller surfaces because the handle weight tends to be enough to tip the whole thing - and it still gets hot. I "branded" my plastic topped picnic table that way. I got in the habit of just using the candles on a small ceramic tile or candle-safe base. I finally just gave the thing to a young colleague who just cut the carry handle off - probably also not a great idea.

Quality has declined greatly

These are not what they used to be. Build quality is poor and flimsy. Really disappointed.

Wonderful Product

I love this thing. It's my second, I'm getting them as gifts for my loved ones' birthdays. I dropped my first one and the glass shattered, but I still prefer breakable glass to any plastic thing! And UCO has replacement glass for sale too. A really great product.
