Customers like the fit of the blowtorch. For example, they say it's small enough to get a good grip on, big enough to hold easily, and easy to handle. That said, some say it does not take up much space to store and is the correct size to burn the sugar on a ramekin of creme brulee.

"...It's also very easy to fill. The base is nice too. You can set it down in between uses or to let it cool off before storing...." Read more

It's easy to hold and it does have some nice safety features like the button you have to click before you can click the light button. It's also very easy to fill. The base is nice too. You can set it down in between uses or to let it cool off before storing. You can adjust the flame and for me it doesn't go through butane very fast at all.
Very nice little torch, happy with my purchase.
Pros:
+ Large Base; able to stand very stably on its own which is handy when locked on for hands free use
+ Comfortable Grip; the aluminum body is perfectly sized for medium to larger hands
+ Large Flame; has a good range of flame sizes, but lowest is still fairly high in comparison to other torches
+ Fuel Window; easy to see how much fuel is in the torch
+ Good Looking; this does not look cheap, which is good if using it in front of guests or customers (like we do)
Cons:
- Recessed screw holes on aluminum body are sharp, we filled them with modeling clay since it is unlikely we will ever need to take it apart
- Uses a lot more fuel than our other torches, but that is the trade off for the larger flame
This might be more than some people need, but it does work very well for our needs!
Highly Recommended!

I have had no major issues with it and it makes my creme brûlée awesome.
Pro's
easy to manipulate safety (easy for me)
cheap
easy to use
sturdy construction
easy to fill
Con's
More buttons / toggles than I understand (some don't seem to do anything?)
easy to manipulate safety (I have this as a pro and con, it's easy for me but does that mean it's easy for a child?)
The plastic black base comes on and off easily. It isn't sturdy/functional
The metal tube torch part doesn't detach easily
The base was covered in a large sticker that obstructed the fill gauge. It was hard to remove and left gross residue.
After buying dozens of pencil torches and some bargain torches I decided to spend a bit more and I'm glad I did.
This torch produces a hot large flame. It is a large flame so it won't replace a pencil torch if that's what you need. I use it for lighting the grill, charcoal, burning trash/yard waste, the fireplace etc. It's great for that.
The flame size is adjustable, you get a continuous flame if you use the lock, it lights easily and stays lit. Lasts a 3-4 minutes on low. My only gripe is the stand isn't permanently attached. That might be good for some, but it's very very easy to knock off. I lost mine the first day. Carried the torch and a handful of other stuff out into the yard to burn some old tree trimmings and it fell right off somewhere in our 2 acre back lot. Gone forever. Not a huge issue but I would have taped it or glued it had I known.
Nice product, decent price. remember though it's really a culinary torch not really good for pinpoint stuff.
