Summary: envirnemtally better than roundup and it works
Comment: I was tired of buying and using Roundup, hated to see the dying weeds for days afterwards, and had seen a similar product on a British gardening show, so I bought one; it was quite affordable. I like it, it is easy to use, easy to light, does a good job of eliminating weeds and does not leave those brown dying weeds for days. Helpful Hint/TIP: Do NOT use it on mulch; I tried that, and it set the mulch on fire. I'm sure the neighbors got a good laugh watching me put out the ensuing fires.(it seems there is a valid reason the product is called 'Bare Ground Propane Weed Torch', 'bare' being a very important key word) I now continue to use Roundup on mulched areas for weeds I can't easily pull, and I use the Garden Torch everywhere else. Good product, good value.

Summary: torch on a stick
Comment: Works well, but if you use it too close to the ground the flame blows out. Make sure you take a shower after you use this becauuse you end up smelling pretty bad after cooking some weeds. Not a good idea to use flip/flop shoes when you are using this torch, feet might get too hot.

Summary: love it!
Comment: I am so happy with my weed burner. I have brick side walks and spend all summer bent over pulling weeds. I have tried all kinds of weed killing sprays that didn't work. Now I can burn them and they are gone. I have been working all summer on the same tank of fuel so I guess it doesn't use much. It is a little tricky to light but it works great!

Summary: Propane Torch - works but in small circles
Comment: I found the tool extremely easy to work with. Set up and use were no issue at all. Though I found it effective at melting the ice that had built up on the sidewalk, it was not as easy as I had hoped. I don't know if it was the cold, or the depth of the ice (.5 to 1 inch) but I found that the torch took quite a while to actually melt it down. It worked great, but it was only able to melt a 1.5-3 inch circle at a time and the sidewalk is 3 feet across. I found that the torch worked best when supplemented by the old fashion ice pick or shovel. The torch broke through the surface and gave me a void to break the existing ice into so that was easier than simply pounding away without it.
I would think about how you plan to use it and purchase as long as your planning is in keeping with it's abilities.
Good luck,

Summary: Does what it says it will do!
Comment: I bought two of these as Christmas gifts. They were a big hit! My 80 year old father no longer has to shovel snow. He just walks along with this torch and "cleans" the sidewalk in no time!
