After doing exhaustive research on kitchen torches, I decided on this one because of the good reviews and price. This product is easy to fuel, easy to hold and use, and has great safety features. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because on the lowest setting the flame is fairly large, and at the highest setting the flame is way too big to be useful. I made a great brulee and some in-home smores with this and it worked great! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a reliable kitchen torch.
