Came in the box shown (my photo)and i was impressed by the first looks of the box. Looks like a box for something that would cost$100 or more. Going to give this as a xmas present and getting another one for myself.
Plus its a great lantern, i got 3 last year on sale, black. red colored were not on sale. this time it was.
I have no idea what I was expecting, but that was not it.

Except, reviews indicate the included batteries are junky Chinese that in many cases either don't at all or won't hold a charge and are not expected to last long. But you say you've been using them for a while and all is OK with charging the18650s? Maybe you got better batteries or it's just hit or miss, but you're happy with them right?

It's all personal preference. I find the AA batteries to be more convenient for camping and power outages. Can't really recharge it if you don't have power.

As a for instance one was just used this Halloween as my mother in law ran the treat table and she had to be out two to three hours and it was still going strong. she liked it so much I sent it home with her..
Who knows maybe they are using worse ones in them now but I have many things that run on lower end internal lithiums and they still are going. That is why I like them as you can swap out the power source without having to take something apart and solder. You can always replace them high end 18650 which is getting so cheap and common that the cost difference between alkaline and them is becoming negligible. Even with not the best lithiums I still recommend them.
I will say that when i first got them at first glance with all the plastic they almost appeared a bit cheesy and cheap overall. Yet find myself liking and grabbing these over my heavy duty D cell lanterns that stay on the shelf as I do not want to have to buy more D cells.

Personally I would rather see more simplicity and lower cost for many of the things we need, as bells and whistles always cost and add extra complexity and points of failure.
Don't get me wrong I have been eyeing the Sofirn lantern that is an elegant high end, high tech design and does just about everything but when considering the reality of my use cases the cheapo ones do. Sometimes with my feature rich stuff I have to pull a manual out. I like the simplicity and basic engineering of the Evereadys.
