Gave it as a gift and they loved it
from Cumberland, RI on 3/7/2008
These candles are great. I love that they have an internal timer that turns them off after two hours which really preserves the battery life. I love that they are a safe alternative to real candles to have with my kids and pets around.

Great candles. This is a nice set, I also have other 6" candles from brookstone.
from Massachusetts on 2/25/2008
Brought as a Feb 14 gift for my wife and she loves them. Just like the real thing, great scent and all, but no worries about flame. Great around the soak tub, around the bedroom, anywhere around the house and don't need to worry about the kids or the dog.

safe alternative to traditional candles when small children are in the home
from Chicago on 2/18/2008
I got three sets for Christmas decorating and scent, but they are so charming that I am leaving them up through the cold winter! The scent is comforting and relaxing.
from Troy, MI on 2/17/2008
Great to set a romantic mood while watching tv or having dinner. Highly reocmmeneded!
from downingtown, pa on 2/11/2008
Great imitation candles that look real and smell great. HOwever, I thought these were white and they are actually a beige color. The light in the candles works well, but doesnt really flicker or simulate a real candle. Overall, a good buy for the money.
from Boston, MA on 2/8/2008
I love these candles. I have them in my bedroom and love going to bed with the candles on and the best part is they automatically shut off in 2 hours. I got my daughter a set for her new apartment (she is candle crazy) and I feel better knowing there is no fire danger. I'll be getting more for gifts!!
from ben lomond on 2/8/2008
great night light.
from Davis, CA on 2/8/2008
I love the natural-look light these put out. I also like the sensor to turn on/off.
from Atlanta, GA on 1/27/2008
I like the way the candles flicker.
from Michigan on 1/25/2008
The candles are great in the evening. They give great ambience to the room.
from Church Hill, TN on 1/25/2008
These candles are just great with kids and animals in the house. No open flames! And they smell great and actually flicker!
from Texas on 1/25/2008
I was looking for a set of battery candles as a present for my daughter-in-law. One battery candle was a much as this whole set. I so impressed with this set that I bought me a set of them. I am always worried about an open flame in the house so I like the battery idea. They look real, smell nice, and I have no worries with them or complaints about them.
from Hamilton Township, NJ on 1/20/2008
Works well, looks and smells nice. For older users, the installation of batteries and the turning on of the candles may be a little difficult.
from Miami, FL on 1/18/2008
Great candles; no way to tell the difference between a real candle flicker and this... Candles would need to be placed at eye level or far away so that the LED lights are not visible... The On button is under the candle, a better design would be placing it next to the LED lights on top of the candle... The "wave your hand over the candle" on/off sensor only works if you first press the on button under the candle then turn off teh candles waving your hand over them... if the candles turn off by themselves after the 2/3 hours you would have to press the on button again.
from Colorado on 1/16/2008
High quality product. Not particularly bright, but provides ambiance in a dark room. Flicker appears fairly realistic.
from Suamico, WI on 1/15/2008
I LOVE these candles! I've tried them in the living room but the bedroom is where they really show their shine! Sooo nice to "turn on" and be able to fall asleep with no worries as they automatically shut off after 2 hrs. I enthusiastically encourage anyone to purchase these...I show them to everyone who visits me. My daughter can't wait to use hers in the dorm at college! Nice!!
from Tampa, FL on 1/15/2008
These look so real. Love the 3 sizes and light scent. Kept one set and gave three for gifts. The timer is wonderful. Now, safe candles in the bedroom!
from Grand Rapids, Mi on 1/14/2008
Even my husband likes these flameless candles so much that he asked me to buy a second set.
from Chicago, IL on 1/13/2008
It is relaxing, yet safe. I have already received comments like 'they look so real'.
from Houston, TX on 1/13/2008
These flameless candles look much nicer than other brands I've seen, and the flicker is more real. I bought two orders online for Christmas gifts for family members who don't burn candles due to soot build-up in the house. Unfortunately, [...] the instructions say that you must locate in a place with minimum 12" clearance above the candles so can't put them in shelving for the auto feature to work. Bottom line: I like the appearance and fragrance of the candles [...]
from Kansas City, MO on 1/13/2008
Great since you don't have to worry about wax spills and open flames around small children.
from Plymouth, MI on 1/12/2008
We enjoy using these attractive and safe products. These candles create great ambience without concern for wax dripping on furniture or a potential fire.
from Furlong. Pa. on 1/12/2008
I really liked these candles, they looked very real. The scent was nice, not to over powering. You don,t have to worry about leaving the room with candles burning. I would buy them again.
from Austin, Tx on 1/12/2008
These candles sit on our mantle and i don't have to worry about any burnt wicker smell, wax dripping, or leaving these candles on. They flicker, they shut off on their own, and it is real wax with a vanilla scent. Nice idea!!!
from New Hampshire on 1/12/2008
I have a mantle without access to electric and like the look of candles near a fireplace-these fit the bill perfectly. I will leave them up all year round, not just for the Christmas season that I originally had planned.
from Slidell, LA on 1/11/2008
As a Realtor, I showed one client a home that was decorated by an interior designer. The home was vacant and these candles were "burning". I was very impressed with the subtle scent and their beauty. My client was very excited to recieve her own set as a closing gift.
from Wisconsin on 1/11/2008
These candles flicker like real ones. The three sizes together make an attractive decoration. My holiday guests thought they were real. Pleasant scent, not overpowering. I thought I was supposed to be able to wave my hand over them to turn them back on during the day after they've turned off, but that doesn't work. Also, they are not as white as the photo. However, I am very satisfied.
from Aiken, SC on 1/11/2008
The price was right on these 3 candles[...]. However, the candles were somewhat of a disappointment - the black sensor in the top looks like a colony of black bugs disintegrated there. And the "flickering" is somewhat sporadic and not very obvious. They automatically turn off after two hours, which is not always convenient - e.g., in the middle of your dinner party, you note that the candles have gone out and you have to go over and start them again (who can remember to pass your hand over the sensor after an hour or so?). Great concept but needs some work. The smell, however, is lovely - even when they are not "on."
from Stockton on 1/11/2008
I was able to place this type of candle in a bookshelf! I love being able to move lighting around in areas where you can not put a regular candle!
from Sandusky, Oh on 1/11/2008
Pretty good product, but won't take rechargeable batteries.
from Holland, MI on 1/11/2008
I love these candles! I gave them as Christmas gifts to several people this year. Generally I don't care for scented candles, but these have a very light and pleasant scent. They do flicker and glow just like real candles. They are safe around pets and children (big bonus)!
The only negatives are the number of batteries they use (12 AA) and that they only stay on for 2 hours at a time (unless you wave your hand over them to turn them off an on to re-start the 2 hour timer) - while that is a great feature in certain circumstance (for example, if you want to fall asleep to candlelight), it would be better if they had a selector so you could choose to have them on for 2, 4, or 6 hours.
One thing to watch out for - if you notice that your candles turn off before the 2 hours are up, something might be interfering with the sensors. Mine would occasionally turn off (and sometimes back on) and I figured out that the remote control for my TV was interfering with the sensors causing them to turn off and on - funny now that I figured out why is was happening, not so funny when it first started happening.
I also want to mention that every person I gave these to for Christmas has called to say how much they love them! I was leery about buying them at first because I love using real candles...but I have to say that I think those days are limited, now that I realize all of the practical uses for flameless candles (I cannot wait until summer so I can take them out on the deck and not have to worry about the wind blowing them out). I hope you enjoy them as much as I have - they are well worth the money!!
from Danville, CA on 1/11/2008
A wonderful addition to any home. Extremely realistic. A bit expensive but you absolutely can not tell these from a real candle until you look at the wick. I love them in my bedroom, kids rooms, or family & living room. Perfect gift for college student (dorms). I've only had them for a few weeks and they work great. I only wish they had a manuel shut off switch in addition to their designed motion sensor switch. Also, I'd prefer them to be stronger scented as well, but overall they are great (so far)!
from Oregon on 1/11/2008
These candles are so bright and act just a regular candle-so much so that others try to blow them out.
from Oregon on 1/11/2008
I bought this product for my brother who has a young son but didn't want to worry about him getting into the candles. This has been great for both of them. He loves the vanilla scent and his son loves the "magic" of lighting them.
from Roseville, CA on 1/11/2008
These candles are great! I am a very clumsy person that is always knocking over candles and spilling hot wax everywhere, but with these candles I don't have to worry abouth that! The scent is great too! I love how they smell when I walk past them, it instantly puts me in a better mood. I would definately recommend these candles for anyone.
from Maryland on 1/11/2008
It is very convenient that a wave of the hand can activate these candles. I don't have to disturb my arrangements to light them!
from SF Bay Area on 1/11/2008
I was impressed by how realistic the "flame" was! This is a great gift idea.
from Pearl River, NY on 1/11/2008
Great for putting in places you would be worried about putting regular candles and forgetting about them.
from Scranton, PA on 1/11/2008
I was thoroughly surprised when I purchased these as a gift. The gift was for someone who liked candles but wasn't permitted to have any where they lived. The thing that surprised me the most was the scent. I knew the box said these were scented candles, but I had my doubts. After all, I was more interested in appearance and ambiance than scent. However, the scent is very good. It isn't as overpowering as a traditional candle, but it is noticeable. Overall, this is a great product I would highly recommend to others!
from Richmond, VA on 1/11/2008
I bought this as a gift for my mother and they were a perfect upgrade from her other flameless candles that had to be turned on by a switch and produced no scent. She loves these and is begging for more.
from Indian Head, MD on 1/10/2008
We already own two of these candles, and enjoy the realistic flame effect, wax-like finish, and the nice scent. No worrying about the fire risk of real candles, and they're convenient to turn off and on.
from New York on 1/9/2008
I gave this item as a gift and the recipient loved it. [...]
from Colorado on 1/9/2008
Love this! And you don't have to worry about anything catching fire! You can fall asleep with the nice candle glow, and not worry about them.
from Denver, CO on 1/7/2008
Once these get "warmed up", maybe a minute or two, they really do look like actual burning candles. "Vanilla" scent is a little odd, but only noticeable if you are right next to the candle. Each candle does take 2 AA batteries.
from Bethlehem,PA on 1/7/2008
This was a Christmas gift and well received. The motion on/off was a big hit.
from San Francisco, CA on 1/5/2008
This made a very appreciated gift - one that I'd like to receive.
from Indian Head, MD on 1/5/2008
The flickering flame effect is surprisingly realistic. Also nice that is automatically shuts off after reasonable time.
from Baton Rouge, LA on 1/5/2008
Get the look, scent and ambience without the worry of burning down the house.
from Northern NJ on 1/5/2008
Gave these away as gifts, They are Neat, smell nice, and offer no risk of fire while still providing ambiance. Great idea
from oklahoma on 1/5/2008
gave to friend for christmas, she was delighted, now i have to buy one for my house
from east coast on 1/5/2008
very good for relaxing while listning to audio books
from Mechanicsburg, PA on 1/5/2008
I used these candles to decorate my Christmas table, but the best thing about them is that I won't be putting them away for the next Christmas season. They will continue to decorate my house all year long. The vanilla scent is nice also. I liked them so much I gave them as gifts to my family and friends.
from Bandon, OR on 1/5/2008
I bought two sets of these for gifts and they were happily received.
from New Jersey on 1/4/2008
We put these on the fireplace mantle, guests didn't know they weren't real. I am going to get more to put around the house in groupings. They are lightly scented (I have vanilla) and flicker almost like a real candle.
from Phoenix, AZ on 1/4/2008
Makes a very nice gift
from Seattle, Wa on 1/4/2008
I was impressed with the realistic look and feel of the candles, and the strong scent they give off. The "magic hand swipe" to turn them on/off is super convenient. You would need a lot of them to actually light a room, but as an accent piece, they're great.
from Cincinnati, Ohio on 1/4/2008
I gave it to my son for his non-functional fireplace. He had them burning when I visited the next day!
from sammamish on 1/4/2008
This is the perfect gift for anyone! Never worry about leaving the room with candles lit again!
from Shenandoah, Iowa on 1/4/2008
This is just not for Christmas. I intend to use the candles all year.
from Dallas, TX on 1/4/2008
No real candles in our house since a fire in our kitchen. But parties and special occasions need that special touch. We've seen 'fake' candles many times, but have never bought a product until we saw our first set of flameless candles from Brookstone. We recently purchased our third set and only wished they last more than the 1-2 hours before resetting! They certainly set the perfect mood for our recent holiday party!
from Bethel Park, PA on 1/4/2008
I purchased the candles [...]. I liked their appearance and I now enjoy their aroma. I used one set as a gift and kept one for myself. I have used them at night for the soft lighting and during the day for the nice aroma. I intend to purchase a few more sets in the next few weeks. Thank you for such a nice product.jsheridan1267[@]

Good product, no complaints
from McAlester, Ok. on 1/4/2008
Purchased this Candle Set for my daughter who like me loves Candles, however for safety factors with our Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren, we found these to be the answer to any concerns we might have in having the ambience of candles and safety also..they smell wonderful and look so real, it's hard to tell they are not real candles actually burning...very happy with my purchase and daughter very pleased with her gift, would suggest anyone looking at this set or others sold by this company to not hesitate to purchase...great product, [...] and makes gift giving a delight
from St. Louis, MO on 1/4/2008
I gave the product to my mother and she loves it. Nice realistic candle flicker effect, nice scent, easy to turn on and off and much safer and longer lasting than regular candles.
from Leesburg, FL on 1/4/2008
With 3 small children around over the holidays, the candles were perfect. We didn't have to worry about spilled wax, injury, etc.
from highland lakes nj on 1/4/2008
Works perfectly. Looks like a real candle burning and smells like one. Just wave your hand over and turns off and off. Can put anywhere without worrying about anything catching fire
from Concord, NH on 1/4/2008
I gave this item as a gift to my mother. She does not like burning real candles and I thought that this was a great substitue with the same effect. She loved them! They really are quite neat. I love the sensor on/off feature and the automatic shut-off feature. They smell great and other reviews I read confirmed that the scent is long lasting.
