Lousy battery compartment
on September 20, 2021
Posted by: Kemljo
from MA
I agree with the other reviews, only wish I saw them sooner. Too bad they are aware of the awful design of their battery compartment and have put so many customers thru such aggravation and haven't announced a design change. I opened the bottom of the lantern just fine, put in the batteries, now I can't close the lid or get it off again. I followed the instructions they provided in one of the responses below but it hasn't worked. I wish I could get the lid off to try it again or get the new batteries out so I can use them in another product. If I could close the lid and use this it may be an okay product but I'll never know. Now I'm out the cost of the lantern plus the batteries. Terrible product!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor product quality

I would highly not recommend buying this product, the battery cartridge won’t close or open and it’s just not worth your time and the frustration.

Thank you for posting a review. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and we are sorry that our Coleman® 1000 Lumens LED Lantern with BatteryGuard™ didn't meet your expectations. Place the hinged side of the battery pack to the palm of your hand with the latch facing out. Your hand should cover the top of the battery pack. Using you middle fingers, press the opening latch while pulling up and back as if to simulate opening a can of soda. The battery pack may be hard to open on the first try because the plastic is new, however it will be easier to open when replacing the batteries.

Waste of Money
on September 1, 2021

I purchased this product two days before a severe thunderstorm was to hit. I anticipated an outage due to the severity of the storm. I wasted my time and money. As numerous reviews have mentioned. The battery compartment got stuck as I was attempting to close it. I could not open or close it. I struggled with it for hours then I sought another source of backup lighting. I should have read the reviews prior to purchasing. I thought Coleman made good products.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for posting a review. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and we're sorry that your Coleman 6-Person Instant Cabin leaks. This is not the experience that we want you to have. Our battery comparments/cartridges are difficult to open. Try using a coin to pry it open. Usually pops right open.

We hope it helps.

Impossible to install batteries
on July 1, 2021
Posted by: Murphyg8rs

Gender:Male
The reason it saves on battery life is because you can never install them in the first place. We’ve had 4 adults and 2 teens attempt to get it open to put in batteries and we all give up. It’s now a paper weight. Save your money - the design is flawed.

This is not the experience that we want you to have. All the battery cartridges are difficult to open. Try using a coin to pry it open. Usually pops right open.

Overpriced
on April 30, 2021
Posted by: Frustrated
from Dallas, Texas
Gender:Female
This was a very disappointing product. Its materials appear to be made of cheap quality and when installing batteries it would not close nor would the lid unscrew. It is stuck without being able to open or close it. I am not sure of its brightness because I can not open it or close it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
