AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the durability of the fire starter. For example, they say the build quality seems solid, the weight and finish are solid, and it has held up for quite awhile. The tank will last a while when fueled up, and the start button has a solid feel to it. Overall, most are happy with the quality and durability of this all-purpose outdoor firestarter.

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the lighter. Some mention that it is easy to operate, fill, and start a fire.

"...There is always a wind when I am burning. Though it requires two hands to light and usually requires three attempts, once it lights it stays lit." Read more
Customers are mixed about the weight of the lighter. Some mention that it's extremely light, while others say that it is a bit heavy and doesn't have a way to see the fuel level. That, combined with the relatively thin body makes it a little clumsy to light, and the flame is quite weak.

"...come to the fact that the lighter from day one, was just never properly filled...." Read more
"...The best feature though might be that it's refillable! And once you fill it, it's going to be a long time before it runs out...." Read more
"...Refilling this thing is a little odd because you can't tell how far you need to fill it up and because it already has weight to it, it's a little..." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the lighting of the product. They mention that it doesn't light as easily as they'd expect, it doesn’t always light outdoors in a stiff wind, and it's a little tricky to light at first. It will light only on the maximum setting and the flame is small. Some say that it takes two strikes to light and that the flame itself is pitiful.
"...As some others pointed out, it is a little tricky to light at first, you have to press a button with your index finger, then click the trigger, it..." Read more
"...Yes, it’s not a super easy light, but after a few goes at it, I must admit I am lost per the reviews that state it is impossible to light or even..." Read more

"...This lighter is fantastic for lighting candles in particular because there's no chance that you'll burn your fingers...." Read more

"...I agree that the safety button is a bit awkward and stiff...." Read more
"...the flame going out after a few seconds, the button and the handle is weird to hold, but still good." Read more
"This is a great lighter to use, but sometimes it’s a little tedious to use one handed" Read more
"Love that it is refillable, but the safety switch is hard to push up so that it lights. Once lot, it does a great job" Read more

"Look and work great. Just know they don't come with fuel so remember to order it. I learned this the hard way. Great for lighting fires" Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
As some others pointed out, it is a little tricky to light at first, you have to press a button with your index finger, then click the trigger, it takes some practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's just fine, I think some people complain for no reason.
People complaining about the fact that it is shipped without fuel, there is a reason they do this. They keep it empty so that they can ship it using 2-day air. If it has fuel in it, they have to use ground shipping. So a lot of companies ship their stuff without fuel for this reason. And you have to buy the fuel separately, either locally, or wait for ground shipment. If you look at the butane cans, you will see this: "This product may not be available for 1 or 2 day shipping due to federal regulations that require it to ship via ground ship methods only"
And finally, many have said that this thing dies after just a few weeks. I've had mine for about 3 months, and so far so good, no issues. I seriously wonder if these people know how to refill it correctly! Tip: you have to point the fuel can upside down when refilling, if you refill right side up, you won't get any liquid fuel in there.
Pro:
- great build quality, metal case, nice mat black finish
- flexible neck works well, sturdy and good quality
- easy to refill
Con:
- lighting mechanism takes some practice to get used to it
Tip:
- refill with the butane can upside down
Yes, it’s not a super easy light, but after a few goes at it, I must admit I am lost per the reviews that state it is impossible to light or even that difficult. Pointer or index finger on the depressable button, and your thumb on the slider and it lights like a charm. You can adjust the flame at the very bottom of the light. Really not having much of an issue at all here.
Another confusing aspect of the ratings is the quality/build one because this is easily the highest quality wand lighter I’ve ever used. The thing is solid, feels durable, and has some heft to it. I’d be more concerned about what I was dropping it on getting damaged versus the unit getting damaged.
All in all, the user ratings on this seem far too low. It’s exactly what I was looking for and more. If you’re a bit freaked by the ratings, don’t be. It works quite well and feels like it will last a very long time and I’m not sure how i could actually break or even damage it without making a sincere effort at doing so.
This lighter DOES NOT live up to expectations. ANY $2 lighter from a convenience store - will out perform this unit. I have to click it sometimes 6 or 8 times to get it to light. When it DOES light - the flame is so pitiful - I'm amazed it's able to light ANYTHING. Zippo supposedly has a lifetime warranty - but this is my third Zippo - though the other two were lighters. What we have here is a company that ONCE set the standard and OWNED the market - not more focused on what something "LOOKS LIKE" than how it actually performs. AT $14 per lighter - they sure won't go out of business - but that's it. I'm never buying another ZIPPO anything again. SAD sad sad that this company has not over the years IMPROVED it's products. They are still operating OBVIOUSLY on 1950's tech. Beautifully designed - but embarrassed by the thing if I have to use it in front of company. TOTAL LET DOWN - don't buy it.
I've run through a bunch of troubleshooting - tried to make sure it was clean (blew air, looked for visible debris), bled and refilled, tried all kinds of flame settings. Once in a while, I'll get one or two lights and then nothing for dozens and dozens of attempts (I just made one attempt for each word in this review thus far and got nothing).
I can hear the sound of an escaping gas when I try and light it -- I'm assuming this is the butane. I can _see_ a spark when I click the thingly -- either that gas isn't flamable (I used Zippo butane), the spark isn't enough, the timing is bad, or the spark and the gas aren't in the correct proximity/mix.
Anyway, Amazon won't take a return so I've got $22 of junk metal and plastic.
I'm thinking I might put it in a place of shame to remind me that, while Zippo classic lighters may still be sweet, their newer tech ones appear to be garbage.

Die Verarbeitung des Feuerzeugs ist erstklassig. Das strapazierfähige Metallgehäuse verleiht ihm eine bemerkenswerte Robustheit, die es sowohl für den Innen- als auch den Außenbereich geeignet macht. Dieses Feuerzeug hält einiges aus und ist selbst widrigen Bedingungen gewachsen.
Das fortschrittliche Soft-Touch-Zündsystem macht das Anzünden mühelos und zuverlässig. Die Zündung erfolgt sanft und ohne Ruckeln, was die Handhabung dieses Feuerzeugs zu einem Vergnügen macht. Zudem bietet der einstellbare Flammenregler die Möglichkeit, die Flammenhöhe nach Bedarf anzupassen, was die Vielseitigkeit des Feuerzeugs noch erhöht.
Ein besonders beruhigendes Merkmal ist der patentierte Kindersicherheitsknopf, der das unbeabsichtigte Zünden verhindert und somit für zusätzliche Sicherheit sorgt.
Der verlängerte flexible Hals ist ein echtes Highlight dieses Feuerzeugs. Er ist schlank und geschmeidig genug, um selbst die unhandlichsten Beleuchtungsöffnungen zu erreichen. Dies macht das Anzünden von Kerzen, Grills und anderen Anwendungen zu einer mühelosen Aufgabe.
Leider ist der einzige kleine Nachteil dieses Feuerzeugs der etwas kleine Gastank. Dies bedeutet, dass das Feuerzeug häufiger nachgefüllt werden muss, was etwas umständlich sein kann. Trotzdem überwiegen die positiven Eigenschaften dieses Produkts bei Weitem.
Zusätzlich wird das Flex Neck Utility Feuerzeug von Zippo durch eine großzügige 5-jährige Garantie abgesichert, was das Vertrauen in die Qualität und Langlebigkeit dieses Produkts weiter stärkt.
Alles in allem ist das flexible Hals-Utility-Feuerzeug von Zippo eine hervorragende Wahl für alle, die ein robustes und zuverlässiges Mehrzweckfeuerzeug suchen. Es erfüllt die hohen Standards, die Zippo seit Jahrzehnten setzt, und ist eine lohnende Investition für jeden Haushalt.
