My wife bought this for me for a trip out to Big Bend last Xmas. I still have the same batteries in it and have used it since Dec 26, 2014. on a few trips and power outages.I'm going to say 150 Low and more than 16 hours on High.

I'm looking at this red T12 model as well... so which is it? yes or no? Why is it a question on Amazon can't ever get answered w/o conflicting answers? Not that it matters much if this thing really has 12 hours of battery life.....Well I just received mine actually, 3-4 days after posting this comment, and I can tell you for certain that Urban Geeks has no clue wtf he's talking about. They WILL play while it's plugged in. I dont' know if the battery really lasts 12 hours but why you would be playing this longer then that is beyond me...... by the way, check out my review I just posted. These things are a lot better then you'd expect. I'm looking at this red T12 model as well... so which is it? yes or no?

I was wondering the same thing, Nick - because this product description doesn't give any info about lumen rating, I went to the Coleman site, and the model number (2000009460) is the same on both this product and the CPX 6 Classic XL LED Lantern on the Coleman site. The running hours are a big discrepancy, as you note -- if you believe Amazon, it lasts 25 hours on high and 50 on low; whereas the Coleman site has it lasting 15 hours on high and 125 hours (!) on low. If either the vendor or someone from Coleman is monitoring this, maybe they can clarify.

I'd also say about 4 hours. Right this second mine says 1 hr 17 min (41%). Now I know that math doesn't add up but it'll get you right around 4 hours after some usage (I've had mine for 3 months)

2.5 minutes for stainless steel 16 oz. Coleman Cup; learn to cook quick meals and then immediately eat turning burner off when not cooking. You can get 3-4 hours burn time per can. What hurts how long a bottle last is when you leave burner on to keep something warm. On occasion I have had these last a full seven days three hot meals each day and hot beverages. I carry a alcohol burner to use when I want to keep something warm...mine is a camping unit with pot rack and made of stainless steel. The outside looks like new the day I bought it...the inside show use...in a pinch the alcohol burner can cook a meal if needed, carry it for backup just in case. Butane I think burns about 375 degrees and alcohol burns at almost 1,000 degree [don't know if that is accurate but works for me].

I should assume coleman online could best answer this question. I haven't even used mine yet; just tried it out and have for emergency or outdoors camping this summer.

Highest setting you can expect 36-48 hours of continuous run time, lowest setting 86-94 hours.

Let it cool for 20 minutes and then push the thermal reset button. It is an unlabeled button below the power switch on my unit. I have only activated it once...after two hours of continuous use on cedar logs up to 18 inches in diameter. Unit restarted after cool down but shutdown again after 30 minutes. I was quite worried at that point but it ran the next day and a dozen times subsequently without incident. It is a beast!

I am happy to inform that it runs for more than 3 hours.In the 30seconds on 30 seconds off mode it runs for between 6 to 7 hours.If it is run in the continuous mode you will get 4 hours.It makes no difference as to which mode it runs except it runs much longer in the non continuous mode.

You can set it for: 50 min (constant on) 2 hours (15/15) 3 hours (15/30) 5 hours (15/60) 7 hours (15/90) 9 hours (15/120) The numbers in parentheses are seconds running/seconds off.

My gas range has burners with 22,000 and 15,000 BTUs. On the 15,000 unit, the time to steam is about 3 or 4 minutes. On the 22,000 unit, the time is less. Of course, the flame adjustment also makes a difference on both.

You're right! Mine doesn't run the 8 hours either. I've actually stopped using this one and went back to the one by Green Air. It DOES last 8 hours and the oils are diffused better (not sure why). I might use it lot add a nice scent to a room, but still, why would I use this one when the other one works better and I can benefit from the oils better?!

I haven't run my generator more than a few minutes as it has only recently been received. I do remember seeing 4 1/2 hours at approx. 1/2 load with a 20 lb tank. I've stocked up with a few extra tanks and figure I'm all set as I'd probably run it for a few hours at a time to keep heat, hot water, and refrigerators available as needed. The fact that propane doesn't go bad was an influence in the decision to buy a LP powered generator.

You can preset it to run 1,2, or 3 hours, then stop automatically, or have it run without a timer. The packaging suggests you don't run it for more that ten hours at a time, but full it will run much longer than that.

I have never run it all day. Usually in the evenings when i get home and maybe 3-4 hours if needed. The tank lasts several weeks on low-med. but make sure you turn the propane tank OFF when your not using it. I have 2 units and the one leaks ever so slightly at the connection. So i just turn it off. I am going to see if i can get a new hose connection for it cause it shouldn't be like that.

Personally, I've only run the unit for 24 hours straight. I cannot comment on 'several days' but I believe that it should also be fine. Also, you should note that the settings can be configured for it to turn itself on and off AUTOMATICALLY. This means that, there is no need for the unit to run CONTINUOUSLY, for several days.

Depends on high you set it. If I leave it on low, it will run overnight for 2 nights. If I turn it up halfway to high, it is near empty by morning.
