Side by Side Comparison of: SUBOOS vs Wenzel

I LOVE this little light and the brightness it puts out. We use it for camping in our pup-up camper and it couldn't be more perfect. Three light levels and long lasting batteries make it the best. I highly recommend this product.

As a light, its geat. Our light was blue tinted but it worked well and was lightweight. The light wasnt super bright, like other leds, but that was nice as it didnt hurt to look at (no blinding pain). Happy with the purchase.

It's small, light, and has multiple settings. With three batteries only, the thing lasted over two nights and probably would last longer if our trip was longer. The illumination is a soft white with a hint of blue, which I prefer.It does feel cheap so it'll probably break if you drop it, but I already expected that at the price I paid. I don't plan on using this in such a way, so I'm good.

Bright. This light is very, very bright. It has different settings unlike some other lights i've seen, which is good if you don't want a beaming light in your face. This light was very handy. We were able to play cards, write, and make art in the tent with ease! Normally someone would have to hold a flashlight or we'd have to awkwardly tie one to the ceiling in the tent, but now we have this and it's a step up. Its built nicely and it works great. I just used this light on a 4-day backpacking trip to the gorge and we had a lot of fun! So consider adding this to your camping gear. It's very handy.

Only had it for one day. But it is perfect for what we purchased it for. We have a hanging reading pod like chair for our daughter and we hung the light from the top inside and shines light on her book as she reads. PERFECT. You can regular batteries or rechargeable or switch back and forth as needed. Two shipping... Prime. great.Thank you.

This light is awesome. I uploaded 4 pictures. The light has 3 power setting: low, medium, high. My room is 10ft x 15ft and it lights it up bright. The light also has 3 different ways to power it. You can use 3 AAA batteries, one C battery, or a DC cord (don't know which DC cord is appropriate). I use this light to light up my gazebo when I have family BBQs. My gazebo is 20ft x 10ft so I bought two of these bad boys. I highly recommend this item.

Great tent!So roomy..easy to put up. I love the screened in option for "porch" We use it to store most of our stuff separate from our sleeping area. My favorite part is the see through roof- if you are at the right campsite, the view of stars from your bed is unbelievable.

This tent is indeed roomy. I am glad that I followed the advice to set it up BEFORE going camping. It took a while to figure out how the pieces go together. But once I figured it out, it was just as fast as a two person tent my friends were using. However, I did need the assistance of another person. By my self it would have been a bit of a challenge. But if you are using a tent this large, surely you are not planning to sleep by yourself. :-)

I go camping every other weekend and owned many tents used it enough to leave a thorough review.• It's pretty much impossible to set up by yourself, but can be done easily with a friend in 10-15 minutes.• Most tents you don't need to use the spikes to anchor it in the ground, but you have to with this one.I camp in the mountains where the ground is usually made of rock and it's impossible to anchor it down correctly.• The front entrance is not very tall so you have to bend down every time you want to get in.I wish the front door was raised higher. I am 5'11" and can stand in the main room without it touching my head, but getting through the door is a pain.• If you have dogs they can easily push right through the door even when it's zipped all the way. It zips to an upside down T shape and all it takes is a little pressure and they can unzip it themselves just by walking through it. I have a huge lab and he found out how to open it the first night.They can also open and come through from the outside when it's zipped all the way up which means coyotes or anything else could enter if they wanted. It doesn't make you feel safe when sleeping knowing any animal can come through, which is why I sleep with a pistol by my pillow in this tent.• I snapped on of the skinny poles the first day, but this isn't the first time I've done this with a tent. When I try to set it up with my 7 year old daughter, it's very hard and I normally break something. Nothing a little duct tape can't fix.But besides that, this tent is awesome, especially for the price.Kids love it and it feels like you are sleeping in a hotel outside. It's got a ton of room and didn't leak when it rained.If you have kids I would say to get this because they will have tons of fun just playing in it.If you are getting it for yourself or to use with one other person, it's kind of over kill.

For the price we couldn't be happier with this purchase! Great for weekend camping. Lots of room, since I camp with a cat and a dog, it was nice for them to be able to move around. The material is thin,so I wouldn't recommend for extreme weather, but thrilled for my needs. Easy to put up and take down with mesh compartments inside, very pleased.

Great, spacious. easy to assemble. I'm 6'1 and could stand comfortably in the main bedroom. We had tworking full Coleman cots with side tables on them and still a wide space on either side. The front room was lower, but a great feature for storing all our stuff/mud room etc. We loved all the open window options and the roof for star gazing etc. Well made tent. We used it for the first time camping at Red Top Mountain state park in GA. Second night, had a very heavy thunderstorm with excessive rain. Tent stayed dry! (The roof cover worked very well) It was a good test. We really loved this tent. Not necessarily an 8 person size....you'd have to get really creative. Lol

This tent is amazing!!!! I read the reviews before purchasing, so I was aware that there may be a structural issue with a sag on one side. I did not experience that. The structure was perfect. We camped for 7 days in Vermont, on a somewhat rainy week. I sprayed the fly and exposed seams with waterproofing spray after I set it up and stayed completely dry all week. 4 of us set up the tent in about 10 minutes. My sister, a friend and I took it down, and got it back in the bag in about 15 minutes (minus the time it took to take off the fly and hang it to dry). The tent was so roomy and wonderful. We've all camped there for about 27 years, and the tent got rave reviews from all 15 campers. I definitely recommend this!!!

I ask myself how am I going to hang this thing. I could see using it for camping. The only thing I don't like is that you have to go through all the modes to turn it on at the same light strength. So every time you turn it off or on it has to be clicked a few times. It has three brightness modes with more LED's coming on. The dome scatters light somewhat but you can see the white LED's inside.

Once you figure out how to put the batteries into it, It is great. It will serve as my pull down for the tent as well as the light for the tent. The only thing missing is a remote. 8-)

This was just the solution we were looking for in our little camper trailer, where we had a dark spot by our refrigerator. This was the right size, and being adjustable with three levels of light, you can tailor it to your needs. Seems well made. Only problem we found was that the batteries didn't last long at all. Could have been old batteries, tho, so will update this review after a few weeks.

I ordered this tent light based on reviews knowing full well, some reviewers received defective lights. Well, I was one of the unfortunate ones who also received a defective SUBOOS tent light. The battery holding fixture was missing parts, so my light would simply not work. If I had another 3 x AAA battery holding fixture, I would probably be happy, but I don't. I considered returning the item, but shipping costs would make the transaction a moot point. Unless you are willing to gamble, save your money. If they would send me a new battery fixture I would also be happy, but I’m not sure how to go about that.OK, so I found out I could return the defective light free shipping, which I did. I got the new light within just a couple days and it works great. Plenty of usable light from such a small fixture. Interested to find out how long the 3 little AAA’s last. Worth 10 bucks for sure.

Simple, non-frustrating packaging, the power button is easy to find in the dark, the three brightness levels are usefully different, the light spread is very even, and the included clip is perfect for hanging inside my tent or over a picnic table. There's no annoying flash mode you have to cycle through to power it off. I will never use the odd battery size, however, so I wish I didn't have to fiddle with a separate holder for the three AAA cells. Can't really fault them for including another battery option, though. The LEDs are those hideous blue-white things that make everyone look like a corpse, so don't buy this if notice things like that. I ended up putting an orange camera flash gel over the light, which cuts the light level in half, but it is so much more pleasant...and most of the "lost" light is blue, which makes it harder to see clearly, anyway, so no big deal.

We have a big lantern and bright for camping, but it's a little too big and too heavy for hung up in the tent's little loop. So we bought this little one about the size of a palm. It's bright enough to light up a regular sized bedroom in fact, although not to the point that you can read your books under it, but it's enough to find anything in the tent. It's small and light weight, so pretty safe and easy to carry around. It seems it's made of some quite cheap plastic, so don't expect it last years and years. But it's not that expensive anyway.

Overall I love this tent. My only issue with it is that I wish they made one a little smaller (like maybe a 6 person tent) that still had the two rooms. I really only wanted this tent so that I could have an entrance area that was still inside the tent to change shoes and leave dirty backpacks, etc. It worked great for that, but we definitely had more space than we needed. Unfortunately the only tent options I found are small one room tents or monster sized. But hey, if you're going to a huge campsite, it works.It's also fairly easy to setup, but having 2 people certainly helps just because of how large it is.Not sure how this would hold up in a windy site. I would probably be reluctant to take it anywhere like that. As we were setting it up it felt like it might not be able to handle a whole lot, but I'm honestly not sure. Aside from that, it rained a little bit on our trip and no leaks.

I have used this tent once while I camped in the upper peninsula of Michigan. We had a very rough rainy storm while we were there and it held up quite nicely. We only had small rain droplets in three of the corners (two of which were in the front screen room). Putting the tent together was quite easy for a tent. It does take two people however, but it still only took about 25 minutes the very first time. We put a queen sized air mattress that is about 2.5 ft high in the large room. We pumped it up outside of the tent and it barely fit through through the doors. There was enough space for a couple of feet on each side of the mattress. The windows open up nicely to allow a great breeze. The front area is nice to put luggage and a table for odds and ends, but I wish the height matched the larger second room. The large room pops up nicely and is 8 or so feet tall. I'm 5'11'' and I had to duck slightly in the first room, but it is still tall enough to stand. Overall, it is very well made and it held up to a good U.P. storm.

Wenzel Klondike Tent - 8 PersonThis is only the 3rd tent I've ever put up and stayed in in my life so I'm relatively new to camping but the following is my opinion on how well this tent works for a newbie camper like me. I'm still looking for something a bit smaller for backpacking so please feel free to leave me your opinions on some cost effective options. I purchased this one for my family to use, that would be me and my husband (30 something adults) and two teenagers.I LOVE this tent! having a screened in porch with an attached floor is amazing!!!!!!!! No bugs or frogs in our food! I love the space. This tent is great for summer time due to all the ventilation and mesh and thin walls. I would imagine due to it's size and thin fabric it wouldn't be a good choice for winder time or colder areas.For setup, I know several said that it was hard to setup but my husband and I did it our first time in 15 minutes and it was relatively easy to do. I can see how it would be difficult with one person because you have to lift the dome part of the bigger/back room up into the air so if you are going to be alone it could be challenge.Another concern for this tent was that the porch is a good 6 to 8 inches shorter in height than the bedroom. You can fully stand up in the bedroom and move around but I had to bend my head in porch and I'm only 5'4. :-) But the porch is mostly to be used as a storage area and sitting room anyway.I caught this tent on sale for $120 and it was worth every penny! Even full price at $160 I think it would be worth it.

We are occasional (1-2x per year) car-campers with a decades-long history of doing this. As such, we've gone through a number of tents.What we are looking for in a tent is pretty specific.- It needs to fit at least 4 people (2 adults, 2 kids in the range of 8-13 years) comfortably. In reality, this means that a tent needs to be rated for 6 adults- Ideally. the tent can be set up and broken down by 1 adult or 1 adult + 1 child in no more than 15-20 minutes- The tent (including frame) must be sturdy and not deteriorate when in storageSo after pitching it in my backyard, leaving it overnight, and breaking it up again, here's my assessment.POSITIVES:- After the first struggles of "which pole goes where", setting it up was easy and could be done by 1 adult if needed. Total first-time setup time was about 25 minutes. This means that next time, I can probably do it in about 15-20 minutes.- The design is good. It provides a separation of a "living"/"storage" space from the "sleeping" space. This is important if you want to keep your sleeping space relatively clean / dirt free.- The quality and assembly appeared to be good as well. The seams were waterproofed and the sown-in tarp goes up a few inches onto the wall, which will prevent rainwater entering the tent- Plenty of instructions. Sawn-in instructions in the storage bag on how to pitch the tent. Paper inserts on how to fold it. How to avoid moisture. Et cetera.- The window covered were well designed and can be stored in a pocket at the bottom of the window- It was easy to get the tent with all accessories back into the storage bag afterwards. No problems at all.- The rear (sleeping) space was large enough to fit 2 queen air mattresses.NEUTRAL:- It was hard to get the walls of the tent to be wrinkle-free. This is a cosmetic issue more than anything else.- It's definely a "car camping" tent. It's too heavy for backpacking.NEGATIVES:- The thick, yellow plastic tent pins came loose overnight. There was some wind (variable, less than 15 mph) overnight but nothing that would merit special caution.- The dark colored rain fly made it extremely hot in the tent during the day, in the sun, even with all windows opened.- Minor item - it lacks a hole to pull an electric cable through. Less important with the abundance of cheap portable chargers for our electronics, but still something we have used once in a while.(Note - No special consideration was received for writing this unsolicited review.

We have now used this tent for two years. We bought it because our family was growing and we'd be doing more state park camping versus backpacking and needed more than an ultralight tiny tent. We set up our air mattress in the main section - it fits a queen comfortably with plenty of room on the side for suitcases and whatnot. The first year we just had a pack n play and a chair for nursing in the front section - we'd just zip up the front screened room at night. This past year we added a second little one and so we had a pack n play on one side of the front section and a toddler cot on the other and still had room in front of those to put the kid's luggage/diapers, etc. It has worked GREAT for our family and we love being able to have the front park just screened in during the day so there can be a breeze and the kiddos don't get too hot during naps. The large windows in the main part are great for that too. We survived a quick moving, but pretty vicious wind/storm system that blew in and out quickly no problem. Although the wind whipping the sides scared our toddler. Which brings me to...The cons: we are experienced tent campers and have set up all manner of tents between us but it is pretty much impossible to get this tent set up with all the walls taunt. There is always a wave somewhere. That said, it doesn't bother us too much, but it seems that it is just a design flaw. It also took our little one (who was 9 months and a pro walker at the time) a while to figure out how to get over the room divider without falling flat on his face. He's 2 now and still sometimes catches himself. I know its intent was to completely seal off the two areas, but I could survive without the bottom being fully sealed to eliminate that tripping hazard.

Excellent tent- Kept us warm and dry on a wet family camping excursion.Pros- We stayed completely dry in hard non-stop rain from 1 am to 8 am. My hubby sprayed the fly and treated seams with silicone water guard spray. We were suppose to put on the spray 24 hours prior but did not have more than 3-4 hours after application before it started raining- that made me paranoid and I woke up every couple hours to check for leaking. Next time I would be a lot more relaxed about sleeping through the rain as it held up very well. - spacious tent, ceiling in actual tent (not screen room) is good- I am 5"10"-good valueCons- highly recommend buying tent stake kit, the stakes it comes with are quite flimsy for that size tent.- Screen room is a nice bonus but ceiling is low. I cooked breakfast in there because of the rain and could not stand straight which made it a bit uncomfortable.Overall excellent tent for the price, most important is that I can stay dry if it rains but I do recommend heavier stakes to ensure tent stays grounded in high wind.

Works as advertised, but even the low setting is too bright for a dark night for us. Great if we're looking for something we lost, though.

I'm surprised at how much it burns through a set of Duracell Pro Cell AAA batteries. On the medium setting a brand new out of the box set of batteries lasted about 2.5 hours. Other than that it's a good price for a light weight hanging light and I like the color temp of the light it puts out. It's a worthwhile purchase I think.

This light is OK for the price. The description says it is "Super Bright". I wouldn't say that. If you are using this to hang in a tent then it will be more than adequate, but we were using it to hang over a game table to play games at night while camping and for that it was a little on the weak side even when at full brightness. But it is better than placing lanterns on the table with all of the glare that comes with that. This light diffuses its light pretty well and so there is not a lot of glare, which is a plus. I had a small problem with the batteries not staying in place but I worked it out. All-in-all I am happy to have it, but was hoping it would be a little brighter.

While this lamp certainly does the job, it's not quite as bright as I had imagined it would be. It's size is also much smaller than I expected. It seems well built, and not something I'm worried about breaking easily. I noticed that due to it's design it seems to cast shadows quite a bit. It is easy to attach to the inside of your tent if your tent has a place to hang things from, if your tent doesn't have such a feature, this lamp would be difficult to use for it's intended purpose.While I don't hate it, I'm not sure I'd buy it again in favor of something a bit brighter.

I just got it today, I was excited so I went out and bought AÀA battery's , it takes 3 AAA battery's, I turned it on everything worked well the led is bright enough, I left it on to see how long the battery would last, put it on at 7:20pm completely dim at 10:46 pm. At 10:46 pm I tryed to turn it off and it wouldn't turn off I had to pull the battery out..Overall it's an ok product, I'm gonna try it out when I go camping, I no now that I'll need 28 battery's for the two lights to last the night, I'll write more wen I get back, but for now I'll give it 3 stars...

Using the 18650 so far... haven't taken it out to camp sites yet, just the house... good so far. Update: Used for 4 days - this thing sucks 18650 batteries like crazy. Even on low setting with a 2500mah battery, would not last the night. I still like the light, just need to be sure to bring more batteries is all.

sets up relatively quickly and easy. Was a hole in the back left corner of tent when first set up. Camping trip was within a couple of days so just put a piece of duct tape over it and it seemed to be fine. First night we set up on camping trip, had a pretty good storm come through. Main tent held up ok, but the screened in portion had to be physically held up. All stakes were in and ropes tight. Water did come in the front part of the tent since the windows zip up about 2 inches over the window it is covering, but the top of the flap that covers the opening doesn't zip, so the slack on the top of the flap allows water to come through. We had 5 people in this tent and probably could have slept another 5 in the front part. Plenty of room, just a few engineering and design issues which I think they should address. Overall, good value and spacious.p.s. The storm we had was a high wind, and heavy rain so I imagine a lot of tents would have performed similarly.

I was conflicted on this tent. I both liked it and didnt like it. What really atracted me to this tent was the full front screened porch with zip up walls and a floor. This was incredibly convenient as a buffer zone going into the sleeping area and as storage space. It also provided a nice area to sit and read etc when the bugs were being especialy bad. The tent also had great airflow, remaining reasonably cool on all but the hottest days. The tent is also nice and tall with plenty of floor space which alowed us to put in a queen size bed, side tables, and personal items with still plenty of room to spare. It was great to be able to walk around in this tent without having to crouch over etc. Setup was a little complicated and youd never want to try and do it by yourself.I did not like that the zip up walls and windows in the tent did not zip up all the way. They zip up on the sides but not on the top meaning that in a strong windy storm the panels have a tendency to bow/blow inward at the top alowing water to mist in. Also the the center circular door seperating the sleeping area from the porch is huge making for easy entry/exit but it only has a single zipper making it tedious to open and close, having to zip/unzip 12ft or more of circular zipper every time you want to go in or out of the sleeping area. It is also lacking in a cord port, meaning i had to run the extension cord through the doors themselves to have power inside the tent which should be standard in any modern tent. Overall it was a pretty nice fair weather tent but i would be worried about using it in a very strong wind and rain storm, you probably wouldnt stay dry.

Would work for some but not a great choice for my purposes as a single mom with young children. New to tent camping, liked size, appearance, interior height and price when purchasing. Immediately learned a few things when I set it up at home, it is not a freestanding tent, wants to fold down on itself unless it is staked down. Secondly the room divider is elevated about 4 inches from the floor, kids tripped over this repeatedly. Third, porch room is not full height so lots more crouching than I would prefer. Took out camping for a 2-day rainy trip in Florida and learned a couple more things. Set-up not hard put really needs 2 people, once to hold the center elevated while tent side poles are put in and secondly to put on rain fly. The front door to the porch has a center zipper down (2-direction would have been better) and two zippers at the bottom that zip in. These catch the fabric easily and need two hands and careful opening and closing. Hard with 2 kids going in and out all the time. Second night we had a pounding 5 hour rain and I was impressed with how well the top and sides of tent protected against rain. Had a river of water come in the back of tent because I forgot to stake down two loops on each side of back vent. Whole floor and bottom of beds were wet. Expect that wouldn't happen if staked down. Had small amout of water on floor in front porch. That was biggest concern. Next day after i dried out tent took off fly and was ready to pack it up it rained a quick 5 minutes in the sunshine. Try as I could I could not get the fly on by myself no matter how hard I tried and tent got soaked all over again. That was last straw. Final Pros & cons: Big, nice roomy feel, not hard to put up with 2 people, Good rain performance from roof and sides. Cons, hard for one person to manage, raised room divider, difficult zippers on front door, low ceiling on front porch, some floor leaking. Will look for another tent with tub floor for more more waterproof, no raised room divider, hinged D-door and easier set up for one person.

Not a bad tent overall. However, within the first week of having it set up one of the fiber core rods shattered in a moderate rain storm ripping the sleeve it fits in. Replaced the rod with a piece from a coghlans pole kit. That rain also exposed leaks on just about every seam in the tent. Twice I ran the seam seal along all the seams and still have a few small leaks.Took it out to Gettysburg, Pa for two weeks and it performed well. I like the two room setup allowing you to relax on chairs protected from the rain and it let us keep the sleeping area free from debris. The sleeping area was quite large allowing us to sleep comfortably and have room for changing and moving around easily. Setting it up was not difficult and only took about 15 minutes. Take down was a little trickier but I figured it out.I will be keeping this tent and using it again but I think for my next tent purchase I will go back to a Coleman.

For the price its an OK tent. The Pros: Large size, easily fits a queen mattress. Large front room hold 2 chairs, a table and more, easy setup. Nice setup for two people.The cons: Set this tent up sealed the seams as directed. Took it camping and as fate would have it, it started down pouring as soon as it was set up. A couple of the seams leaked (mostly around the front door). I have a hard time with paying for a tent that has to be waterproofed right out of the box. The front room is not high enough to stand in. There are no tie backs for the window covers (when you open them, nothing to tie them out of the way with). You will need to replace the stakes (comes with the cheap plastic stakes and the small metal ones that are worthless and bend). There is a round door in the middle, again no way to tie back when its open.Overall its OK. I'll be keeping my eyes open for another in the future.

I just returned from our first camping trip with this tent, two nights at Lake George, NY. In the end, the elements beat us and our tent, and we only spent one night in it, but the 25-year camping veterans next to us didn't make it through the second night either.Overall, the tent is huge, nicely designed for sleeping and storing gear, but that design also makes it unstable in foul weather.My 13 year old son and I were able to set this tent up in about 20 minutes with little difficulty. You really do need two people to get the fly over the roof, but one person might be able to get the main body of the tent up by themselves.Things I like about the tent:-plenty of room and a nice high roof that a six foot person could easily stand up in-easy set up-the screen room can be closed up and used for sleeping, and it has a floor-construction seems very good, very little leakage on the seams in the face of 20+mph wind and torrential rain (and I didn't seal the seams as I'd intended to)-the screen roof and lots of windows should make this a great summer tentThings I didn't like:-the large interior and open roof make it tough for two (or three) bodies to heat up. You lose most of your heat through the roof and we were cold despite sleeping bags, air mattress, extra blankets and thermals, and it was only in the low 50s that night.-the windows do not fully zip across the top, so high wind will eventually blow them open.-the design which gives you so much useable space inside creates hard corners and very long walls that make the tent very difficult to secure against wind. One corner kept falling down against the high wind, despite adding an extra guyline and attempting to angle the tent against the wind.-easy setup with only four anchor points for the main support poles also contributes to instability. The long side of the tent is 16 feet long and you have only two main supports and an angled anchor pole for the screen room.-the huge size makes it tough to find a completely level spot for the entire footprint. I think our tent fell in on one side partly because we had one corner at a slight uphill angle and that put a lot of strain on that one cornet pole.-it's heavy and a little bulky. I think it is probably close to 25 pounds, so you aren't going to want to carry this baby very far.-there are four angled joints that hold the roof poles to the side poles. The fit is not very tight, and if you lose even one of these, you are not going to be able to set up the tent. I plan to glue these to one of the poles, because they are black and easy to lose while breaking camp.Lessons learned:-I would try to set up so that the front door faces into the wind. The back side of the fly really does not come low enough to keep wind from getting under it. On this trip, that wasn't possible because this would have put the entrance about three feet from a significant drop off.-seal the seams and waterproof the fly-buy extra stakes (the guylines only get flimsy metal pegs that don't provide much holding power), and bright-colored guylines (the included lines are black which are invisible in the dark)-I would not use this tent in temps below 60 or in winds above 10mph, especially if this were your only shelter option-I probably could have used a tarp to create a more angled face for the tent side facing the wind, but 3am in a wind storm is not when I do my best thinking and really shouldn't be necessary.

The size of it is great, especially the good height. The screened porch room with an attached bottom/floor is very good too and due to the screened panels on it being able to be completely shut if desired. The colour is nice and the small back floor vent very handy for airflow. The quality of the materials seem pretty good although I didn't have opportunity to test it in rain or wind. Things of concern were the fact that when erected, the tent walls remained very uneven/fabric pulling at an angle instead of straight wall panels. The inner door to main tent must remain open or closed as it doesn't have a screen panel and we generally found it somewhat cumbersome to put up...maybe due to the extra height?? Definitely needs two people.

It is definitely a spacious tent and not really too hard to set up, but during our trip it was often windy and anytime there was a gust at all one of the poles would collapse in. We had to stack boxes inside the tent to keep it up and use weights on the outside to keep the stakes from being pulled out. It doesn't seem like this tent has the structural integrity to withstand any type of unfavorable weather.

This tent seemed really nice and against my better judgement I ignored the reviews and ordered it.Now, it is a very nice tent, until the wind blows. The support system is not well designed so the entire tent collapsed. Luckily it didn't cause us any inconvenience cause we weren't sleeping in it at the time. If you feel like you could rig it to stay up better, or hang it from a tree or something, it's a great deal. Otherwise it's not worth the trouble.

The reason we chose this tent was because of "patio room", but were quickly disappointed when we started putting tent together. First, the string that holds wires on roof of tent had ripped leaving metal poles to detach from each other. Second, the zipper to door between patio and larger room was missing so there was no separation between rooms. Third, I was hoping to fit 2 queen size air beds (one for husband and I, the other for kids) in larger room but realized that both air beds don't fit in one room unless you are jumping off one to step outside. Thankfully we were able to return our tent and will probably be purchasing a Coleman. Word of advice, check your tent before getting to campsite!!

I bought this tent to go to the lake. In 15 mph gusts of wind this tent was IMPOSSIBLE to set up and keep up. The entire thing had to be rigged up and tied to trees for stability. I'm giving this tent ONE more chance in the woods (no wind and different terrain) if it's as bad as it was at the lake I'm going to seek my $ back.

Had a bear of a time with this tent. There are no instructions included with this tent. I've set up a lot of tents in my time, so I was able to muddle through it, but keep it in mind. That said, you also need more than one person to set this tent up.We also found out that the tent is not waterproof, it leaked on us, we contacted Wenzel about this and received the following response.From Wenzel:The Wenzel tents are not factory sealed or have waterproof coatings. They have a water resistant sprayed finish, but the seams themselves are not sealed.It's big, it's roomy, and would be great on a sunny weekend in a large grass field (bring a tarp for underneath) Anything else you should be looking at a different tent.

The light is very lightweight but cheaply made. The illumination is perfect for my tent but the onboard circuit is not good and the light flashes periodically and turns on when it is supposed to be turned off. Very disruptive when I am trying to sleep in my tent. What is the point of owning a light that doesn't stay off when you turn it off?

These lights are extremely cheaply made.We returned ours immediately.

I bought these lights a couple months before in anticipation of a Camping trip. Basically they are garbage. One of the lights on/off button fell off after two days requiring you to have something pointy to stick in the hole to turn it on. Its a bit hard to find a sharp object when its dark. The second on stopped working after 3 days, and new batteries did not make any difference. Made the rest of our camping trip difficult. It makes me mad when people rave about a piece of trash and you believe them. Best of all, even though I just used them on labor day weekend, I am past the return window. I am very very unhappy.

This seemed like a great little light, albeit it does feel cheaply made (it's really funky trying to figure out how to get the batteries, and the holder made for them, in correctly - which I guess explains why it only worked for one evening at camp. The next evening, it quit. Replaced the batteries (which were all fully charged), nope. Also, it doesn't come with the hanging clip, as is described. It is being returned. It's quite sad b/c the lightweightness of it and ability to fold flat and sit in the little mesh 'hammock' thing at the top of the tent was rather convenient, as was the 3 different brightness settings. The over-priced flashlight at the liquor store near camp with the cheap batteries included lasted longer. My tip of the day: Keep shopping.

This is not ULTRA bright, it's not even bright. I call it a dirty light because you don't even want to use it for reading. Any headlight is brighter and more brilliant. They announce it for camping and sailing but it does not have any seal . . . not worth a dollar.Skipper Axel

This is a very little light. I am NOT going to bother trying to return it, as I will probably waste more money and gas and packaging and restocking fee. My advice would be to buy a LED light of some kind as this certainly does not put out enough light for the inside of a 4 person tent

I have this tent, my kids and I used it camping twice. Recently, we took it out again as we enjoyed how large it was, a mild rain storm knocked over if the poles down and the seem was your open on the floor.

Updated. Second time setting the tent up. It ripped righte at an achor point. Not happy about that at all

I got this for easy camping with the family. I own several tents including backpack tents, family tents but never a large tent. The design on this tent is great. In fact this whole tent is great. Having the front porch, the separate room, plenty of windows and airflow. 1 major flaw, it's cheaply made. As soon as I set it up the first time (two people needed as other reviews suggested, but it's easy) I could tell that the seams and stitching were questionable.Being a low key fam tent I figured we would be careful and it would last. I cleared the rocks out and set up in a extremely well used camp site. The bottom got a hole. I was unable to find any rock to be the culprit. Comparing the bottom to other tents I have I feel they used a weaker material which is subject to tear very easily. I'll patch and use again and if it holds up I'll up the stars. However 1 use and a hole already, not looking good.Again if you're planning on using this tent several times a year send the extra 50-100 and go with a better made tent. I uploaded the proof and you can clearly see no extreme wear. You be the judge.After though. Only 1 entrance on tent. Zipper is a triangle two bottom zippers that close into the middle and a center zipper that close down. I didn't mind, the wife didn't like it as much.

I bought this tent and took it out for the first time and there is a hole next to one of the loops. The stitching is undone. I do not recommend this tent. It is poorly made.

Pole bent out of the box, glad I brought two tents camping... I did not have time to do a test setup before we left. Apon rolling it out I think the dementions are off, does not look like it was 16 x 11. Very disappointed

I loved the size and the porch. I was ready to love this tent! The first time I set it up, just as a test run in the yard, one of the poles snapped in a light breeze. Even before that, the side polls seemed poorly supported and wanted to tip over. It is a great looking tent with very poorly made parts.
