Someone in our household had been wanting to light some candles each morning and mentioned buying a lighter or some matches. I wanted to see if we could find something that would last longer. I had no idea there were so many electric lighters available! We opted for the Zippo unit rather than one of the many other oddly named brands, despite the price being a bit higher than the others. The construction of this thing seems really nice. It's mostly metal, feels solid, and so far has operated smoothly. We got ours just over a month ago. I have messed with it a few times just because it's so neat. It's been used to light candles each morning during that time. The battery finally needed to be charged just a couple days ago. So it lasted about a month with light daily usage. Not bad! Read more
UPDATE: After posting my original review I discovered that it quit working because I had gotten a bit of wax on one of the prongs. I rubbed the wax off and it works great again! Have been using it for a few months now with no problems, and haven’t had to clean it again. Other reviewers mentioned noise; nobody in my household and none of the pets complain about any noise, Original review: This is a very pretty, sturdy-looking lighter. But it stopped working after about 3 days of use. I lit approximately 15 candles total, and then it quit. I thought maybe it needed charged again already, but after leaving it plugged in overnight it still didn't work. Cannot recommend this purchase. Read more

I purchased this 10 months ago for $20. It has worked well and keeps a charge. I burn candles almost every day. I noticed lately that it hasn't been igniting reliably, despite having a full charge. I believe the issue is that one of the contacts is covered in soot or wax. I fixed this by using a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol and rubbing the contact vigorously until I could see the metal again. I had to jam the qtip head in there - simply using a paper towel did not work. Of course, I took all measures to ensure that the lighter would not ignite given the flammable nature of alcohol. After doing this, the lighter worked again. If it stops working I will try this method once more. Read more
Good product that does not require butane. Read more
Maybe great for candles but starting anything else it’s not too good. Limited charge life and continually shuts off during use. I’ll stick with lighter Read more
I bought this electric lighter for my wife for Christmas. She previously had a cheap off-brand one that would not hold charge and was very difficult to light. This lighter is easy to use and holds charge for a long time. She uses it daily and is very pleased. Also, it's stylish and she loves the rose gold color. Read more
Been using it the past six weeks on beeswax candles. When it works its great, but the nature of the arc you have to have the wick between the arc prongs, and it means a lot of soot and wax gets on there. I run it for a little bit after use to burn it off, and clean it regularly, but still have it stop working and needing a detailed every week. You basically trade time needing to refuel it for twice the time keeping it clean so you can use it. Also Micro USB...seriously? Read more
