It's OK
By DippedstixVerified Reviewer from Charlotte NC on 9/14/2008
Cons:
Low Quality
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Lillian Vernon Smoking Cauldron on Metal Stand:

I bought this same product last week from HSN for [$]. It's definitely worth that! Mine leaks at the bottom- no big deal though. The smoke doesn't float around in the air like this picture shows but if it's disturbed at all by a breeze it will. We put ours by an A/C vent in the dining room and that helps stir the smoke. It's cute to use as a centerpiece at a Halloween party.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Smoking Cauldron on Metal Stand:

I should have read all the reviews before I purchased this item. It leaked! as most of the other reviews have said and also the light didnt change color, only stayed red. Also, it is not stated in the description that it is for indoor use only. I was hoping to put it outside my front door!

Slightly Disappointed,But Kids Love it!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Smoking Cauldron on Metal Stand:

I was a little disappointed in the cauldron. The colors did'nt change as stated, the light only stayed red. The smoke/fog doesnt rise out of the pot very much, it kind of just swirls around inside of the pot...the size was kind of small but I read the dimensions before purchasing it, so I expected it to be a little on the small side. Over all, the kids love it, and it will serve its purpose on Halloween sitting next to my witch on the front porch. I only wish the smoke/fog would rise out a little more, but it will do just fine as is.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Smoking Cauldron on Metal Stand:

I sent this to my daughter for a holiday party only to find that when water was placed into the cauldron it leaked out slightly where the electrical cord entered. Because they needed it right away my son-in-law used some silicone to seal it or I would have sent it back.

 
Not quite what I hoped for.
By JRVerified Purchaser from NJ on 10/18/2007
Pros:
Easy to use, Safer than dry ice
Cons:
Flimsy, Not a good value, small
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Lillian Vernon Smoking Cauldron on Metal Stand:

I purchased this as a fun decoration for Halloween. We'll be having a party a few nights before and I also thought it would be cute to put by the door for trick or treaters. Since I have two children under 4, I was looking for something safer than dry ice. To be fair, I didnt' pay too much attention to the dimensions when purchasing. I was a bit disappointed with how small and flimsy the item was. When I tried it out, it did work, and the set up was easy. While the smoke/fog developed quickly, it is far from dense and overflowing like the picture seems to suggest. It kind of hovers in and over the cauldron. It's still a nice effect, but not quite what I was hoping for, especially for that price.

Leaks and is much smaller than pictured. Claims to have a metal stand but it is all poorly made plastic and they charge a pretty penny for it.

Cool idea, but poor quality
By CathyVerified Purchaser from Chicago, IL on 10/9/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design

Comments about Lillian Vernon Smoking Cauldron on Metal Stand:

The box said it changes color, but mine was only red. That was fine, but they set the expectation for something different. It worked about 4 times and then stopped working. I am going to exchange for a new one and hope it works better. It was a good price for a cool Halloween prop.

Leaky Cauldron
By JenKVerified Purchaser from Wilmington, NC on 9/14/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design
Cons:
Flimsy, Poor Construction
Best Uses:
Deecoration
Describe Yourself:
Working Parent
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Lillian Vernon Smoking Cauldron on Metal Stand:

Very flimsy, and I have to tilt the cauldron to one side to keep if from leaking where the electrical cord enters. Also, the box indicates the light changes colors, but the one I received only stays on red. I was going to return it, but my kids were enamoured with it. I am treating it very gently, and hope it does not fall apart.

I would not buy again.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Smoking Cauldron on Metal Stand:

Love Halloween and couldn't resist! Though not as expensive as the witch w/ red LED eyes it has the "fog" and LED light but once burned out that's it! Watch the water level as it can leak out. Water runs out quick so on Halloween night will have to keep refilling.
