## At a glance

- One-touch piezo ignition for lighting.
- Focusable flame with a listed maximum heat of 1.0kW.
- The manufacturer says it can be used at any angle after warm-up.
- A click-in cartridge is described as removable even when not empty.

## Pros

- Compact listed dimensions make it a small-format torch for focused kitchen finishing.

- Customers report quick lighting, useful flame control and good fit with gas canisters.

## Cons

## A good fit for

- Home cooks who want a compact torch for browning, sealing or caramelising food.
- Buyers who already have, or plan to obtain, a compatible Bright Spark A4 Catering BS3656 butane cartridge.

## Less suited to

- Buyers seeking a torch supplied with its recommended gas cartridge.
- Anyone who needs a tool for broad-area heating rather than focused food-finishing tasks.

## Customer feedback

Customer feedback reports quick lighting, perceived power, flame control and a good fit with gas canisters. Feedback on flame power is mixed, with some describing low gas use and others reporting unexpected flaring. That matters for close food-finishing work, where the listed focusable 1.0kW maximum heat offers control in principle but does not establish how consistently the flame behaves.
- Positive themes: Customers report that it lights quickly and offers good flame control.
- Positive themes: Feedback describes the torch as powerful and well-built, with one customer mentioning searing peppers and onions.
- Positive themes: Some customers report a good fit with gas canisters.
- Mixed feedback: Customer feedback on flame power is mixed, including reports of unexpected flaring alongside comments about low gas use.
