Best Oil Lamps of 2025

"I was initially skeptical about this lamp due to its price, thinking it couldn't possibly be good. I was pleasantly surprised. It's smaller than average, about a foot tall, but it works exceptionally well. I'm really glad I decided to order it!"

"I found this lantern to be quite charming and functional. After using it for about 20 minutes, I noticed it leaked all over my kitchen table. I was excited to use it initially, but the mess it created was disappointing. If you want a functional lamp, this might not be the best choice."

"This lantern exceeded my expectations for its price. I filled it with kerosene and tested it out without any leaks. It's not the sturdiest item, but it feels tough enough. For a $22 lantern, I really can't complain—I'm loving it so far!"

"I purchased this oil lamp for potential power outages. The quality is impressive, and the design resembles an antique. However, I noticed that the fount is small, so I'm unsure how long it will burn. I took away one star because the chimney seems more fragile than other lamps I own. Still, I would recommend this lamp, as long as buyers are aware of its size."

"I ordered these lamps because of positive reviews. We frequently experience power outages, and I remember my grandparents having similar lamps that were always ready to use. I bought four as gifts, but I encountered an issue—the metal mechanism feels very flimsy, and one lamp fell apart when I added oil. I'm disappointed because I've never had a product that couldn't be returned. The other three are still in their boxes, but this one is unusable. The manufacturer needs to improve the quality of the metal parts; it could have been dangerous if it fell apart while lit."

"I absolutely love this lamp! I expected it to feel cheaper, but it actually has a great quality. I'm really pleased with my purchase."

"I got this for my oil lamps, and it was perfect! There's no odor and it burns cleanly indoors. I’m thrilled to use these beautiful lamps!"

"I’m really happy with this product. The jug is a good size, and it’s odorless and smokeless. It burns great!"

"I love this fuel because it burns clean without smoke. However, I find the bottle design a bit tricky for pouring. I switched the cap with one from a honey bottle, which helped somewhat, but I still end up with oil leaking down the side after refilling my lamp."

“I find these lanterns absolutely stunning, though a bit fragile. One was lost during shipping, and cleaning the glass was a pain. However, they burn wonderfully!”

“I was aware of the small size from reviews, but they are so cute! I encountered an issue with one lamp arriving broken, and the wick turners feel a bit flimsy. Still, they work perfectly with citronella oil, especially in our gnat-heavy area.”

“These lamps are fantastic! They are easy to use and emit a soft light. Overall, I’m very pleased with the quality.”

“I find these lamps to be absolutely gorgeous and they serve a practical purpose since my home often lacks electricity. One lamp arrived perfectly, but the other had assembly issues that made it unstable. Fortunately, the seller provided me with a replacement lamp, and now I’m thrilled with my purchase. I've even ordered a six-piece set!”

“I really appreciate the rustic look these oil lamps add to my space. They function well, but I personally wouldn’t hang them without some shelf support. The background plate is a nice feature, as it protects from heat and reflects light beautifully.”

“These lanterns are visually appealing and work well, but I had to modify the support mechanism to prevent the lamp from falling. A stronger wire should have been part of the design. Still, I decided to keep them after making adjustments, as they are quite nice overall.”

"I find these to be great for display, but unfortunately, every one of them leaks oil. I originally bought them for emergencies, but during a recent power outage, they all left an oil ring underneath."

"I was excited about these lamps for my bushcrafting trips. They're just alright, but I did notice they are on the smaller side."

"My overall experience with these products has been positive. They are what I was expecting!"

"I ordered three brands, and I find this one better than the Housewise brand. Both brands burned perfectly in my Feuerhand oil lamp, but this one had a slightly lower odor. I've even used it on the floor to enjoy the heat rising, and I’ve noticed the scents more. I’ve got Aladdin brand on the way as well, and I’ll review that once I try it. Overall, all three brands are functionally equivalent, and the differences are minimal. If you're not sensitive, I'd recommend going for the least expensive."

"I'm really pleased with how well it absorbs and burns bright. I don't have anything to compare it to, but I think the quality is good and it serves my needs. It seems to burn slowly and lasts a long time with a steady, non-flickering flame. This oil showed up right in time for my camping trip and has lasted through two trips; I'm only 1/5 through the bottle, so it feels like a good value."

"I love the color of the oil, and it looks great in my lamp. It burns clean and doesn't smoke. While there is a faint odor when the bottle is opened, I don't notice anything while it's burning. The squeeze bottle design is fantastic; it doesn’t leak at all."

"I remember spending my childhood on a tropical island without electricity. These Dietz lanterns were essential to my daily life. They age beautifully and add a nostalgic glow to quiet nights. I wish the brand would modernize and reach more homes, as they deserve a spot indoors as well."

"I bought this lantern for my patio, and it's a high-quality, beautiful centerpiece. I initially wanted it for power outages, and I’m considering purchasing another for indoors. It's just perfect!"

"I purchased this lantern from Cortes Unlimited, and it’s amazing. It arrived in pristine condition, looks classy, and is easy to use. I follow the advice to keep the fuel below 80%, and I haven't experienced any leaks. Maintaining it is simple and hassle-free."

"I think this product is very nice and beautiful. I haven't used it yet since I still need to get oil, but I'm sure it will work just fine. I'm very happy with how it was packaged. Nicely done, Amazon!"

"I just bought these lamps and I love them! The light quality is good, the glass feels more sturdy than older lamps, and they're easy to clean. I get a bit more than 24 hours of burn from one oil refill. I'm ordering another set to give as gifts."

"These hurricane lanterns are cute and functional. They provide the best light during a blackout and last longer than LED lanterns. Plus, there's no charging required, so they're always ready when the power goes out!"

"I find these lamps to be the perfect size for my bookshelf. The quality is fantastic, and I love the glass design. The oil has zero odor and burns bright. I'm excited to use them during potential power outages this winter."

"While I appreciate the lovely appearance and quality of the lamps, I'm a bit disappointed as they are smaller than I expected. Nonetheless, I am still in love with them."

"I purchased these for emergency situations. The wick is quite short, so I ended up buying three extra half-inch wicks. I did bend the metal to remove the glass, and now it wobbles a bit, but overall, it seems to be working fine so far."
