Waste of money

Would Not Recommend

I bought this candle because Off has a good reputation. Well, the wicks were so short they wouldn't light I finally got two of them lit, big waste of money!

Thanks for writing a review. I'm sorry to hear your candles came with the wicks cut too short. I know that makes lighting them a bit frustrating, and ...

Cannot Keep Lit

Would Not Recommend

So frustrating. If there is any breeze whatsoever one or all of the wicks go out due to the shape of the base. Will NOT purchase again.

Wicks detach from the bottom! Money wasted

Would Not Recommend

I bought 4 of these from Lowe’s. I don’t have the receipt so I’m not going to bother trying to return the 2 I held on to. All 4 of these candles burned for a couple of hours and then the wicks started detaching from the bottom . Waste of $30.

Leaked from bottom of container, huge mess on deck, table

Would Not Recommend

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS! The container looks like metal but it is a cheap plastic and leaked through the bottom seam. Keep in mind it leaked when it melted from being in hot weather, NOT when we burned it. Huge mess that we now have to deal with, not like melted wax comes off of surfaces easily!

Works OK - Doesn't last

Would Recommend

These work OK for repelling flying insects such as mosquitoes and gnats, but if you leave it sitting outside for a few days the sun will remelt the citronella wax and cover up the wicks. If you take special precautions such as bringing this inside it may last longer.

Long lasting and very effective

Would Recommend

I needed hours of protection along with lots of coverage. The 3 wick Off citronella candle did the trick and covered all of my back yard. Look no further. This is the one. This has the power!!!

Candles

Would Recommend

I was lucky enough to get the last 2 of these candles at my store in LaSale, MD. I have used these candles for many years and if you keep the covers to protect them from anything getting into the wax, they’ll last for a very long time.I’ve also bought the smaller ones in the glass counters and reused the containers. I highly recommend!
