Amazing light! June 28, 2010
creamer (tacoma, wa)
Amazing little lantern. Can't imagine why you would want a full size when this is available. Pump it up once an hour and it lasts an entire evening. Coleman recommends a #21 mantle which can be hard to find. I find the #20 standard mantle works just fine. Runs fine on premium octane unleaded. Amazon was great.

We purchased this lantern to complement our "one box of gear" car camping kit.
Using the traditional Coleman design and technology (pump, mantle, etc.) , it throws a LOT of light for being such a little feller; certainly much more than my old Gaz lantern. Easy to fill, easy to light, and stable illumination in the wind make it ideal for the purpose intended. Because of its small tank size, tank pressure requires more frequent attention than its larger 2 mantle cousins (as a usage tip, I suggest not filling the tank to capacity, otherwise you cannot pump enough air into it to keep it going for an extended period of time), and the #20 mantles it uses are more difficult to find (I'd recommend stocking up on a few). It is (back)packable, but with a size/weight penalty.
All in all, a good, reliable product that performs as expected-which is what I need and expect from my outdoor gear.
small and bright! February 11, 2010

have to agree with the previous reviewer (by date)... i just fired my new 229 up today and did a compare with my 200A as well - just as bright! alas, Jafe Decorating does not do the tinted globes for the 229 (have amber globes for my 200A and 228, along with a frosted globe for my 285)... but i like this little lantern! it fireballed a bit upon first firing, but quickly settled down to a very controllable flame... generator replacement looks pretty easy (undo main bolt, life frame off the fount)... i did not like tying on the #20 mantle though - but wonder if a folded #21 would work in a pinch? (have to try this sometime)...
Coleman 229. Great Tiny Lantern! December 18, 2009

Fired it up for the first time yesterday and I am impressed with this tiny lantern.
I did a side by side comparison with my trusty Coleman 200A. both on full shriek
and the 229 was no less bright. And did i say that it's tiny?
For those of the nay sayers that complain about frequent pumping,
I say that was not a problem for me. I got almost a half an hour before the
light slightly dimmed. I could have waited a bit more, but I was really
into checking this lantern out and so I pumped it up again with similiar results.
Looks very well built also. If you are looking for a gas lantern that does not
take up a lot of real estate, packs well, and performs as good as any single
mantle lantern, the Coleman 229 is for you. Besides the ladies will remark how cute it is!
Very reliable May 12, 2009

This has been a reliable little lantern, perfect for motorcycle camping. It gives off alot of light and does not burn alot of fuel. It has been a great addition to my camping gear.
