Amazing!
I use a lot of candles because I have some fairly nice decorative holders and I like them lit, especially at night when watching a movie or listening to music. But I got tired of paying between 80 cents and a dollar on votive candles at retail shops. That gets expensive and that in turn discourages me from using them any time I feel like it.So I did a search for candles on Amazon, found this product, and did a quick calculation on price. These candles, even factoring in the shipping, cost a little more than 15 cents a candle -- half price! So I ordered a box. But would they work as well as the store-bought ones?Absolutely. Better. They last for a long time, longer than most I've bought in stores. I've never timed these, but 10 hours is what they advertise and that is probably about right. Many candles I have bought in the past last half that long. Also, I am midway through box two of these -- around 100 candles -- and have yet to run into a dud -- you know, when the candle burns too fast on one side and it collapses before the wax is used up, or the wick burns up before the wax does. Not one of these has done that to me. They all burn evenly and last the duration. Which only adds to the price savings: you're not throwing away defective ones.And, because they burn all the way to the bottom, it is much easier to remove the remains of them from the holder as there is very little left at the bottom to discard.These candles are not just a substantial value but are a superior product. I'm very happy I took a chance on them. And the more you use and enjoy them, the more you'll appreciate their advantages.

but if I can at least keep the next person from making the same mistake that would make me happy. BTW
I FINALLY found candles in the right size, color, and met my specs. I immediately made up the mason jars that I'm using at my wedding, and gave these a test drive. It's advertised as a NO DRIP 10 HOUR candle. Not even 2 hours in, not only had the candle dripped wax, it ran flat, and the candle was reduced to a pile of wax?! I would attach a photo if I could! I don't know what I'm going to do a week before my wedding, but if I can at least keep the next person from making the same mistake that would make me happy. BTW, they're not even white. They're ivory/creme.

Do not waste your money!
We found these didn't even burn for 3 hours (that is generous!!) - and they were well protected in jars! I should have gone with fewer and more expensive - you get what you pay for and these were cheap. Extremely disappointed, as they weren't glowing for the darker evening photos at my daughter's wedding reception.

Votives arrived in excellent condition and appears that you can depend on each ...
Votives arrived in excellent condition and appears that you can depend on each one to burn for several hours ... good to the very end! Would recommend buying these.

They did the job!
Used all 7 of these in amber colored votives at my wedding. They did the job. They burned for at least 7 hours but likely would have burned for more if we gave them the chance.

These should be labeled 2 hour candles
These are not 10 hour candles. At best they last a couple of hours with a weak flame. Not good for emergency use. Fine for evening mood lighting.
