For an all around flashlight I think it's great. Very bright, easy to use, extremely long lasting run time on the batteries, not too big (I like a bigger flashlight around the house as I think they are easier to locate and hold on to. I think the floodlight type of illumination this one gives off is much more practical than the Maglites focused beam (I've owned both). I've actually found the clip to be pretty useful as well. Would definitely recommend it.
