Guidesman 300lm failed when needed at work
By the second charge it stopped working when I needed it looking for a leak inside a welder jig. Bought a second rechargeable pen light and it failed within the first month. Possibly to weak to handle light bumping on metal parts.
User's recommendation: I recommend spending 10 to 12 dollars more for a higher quality.

Verified ReviewerBroke light first charge
I tried plugging the charging cord into my light, and the port was already pushed inside the light. I was unable to retrieve it and didn't really try very hard, but for 40 bucks, I shouldn't have to.
It's a rechargeable tac flashlight, 1000lm everyday carry size. 23153 is the part number, I believe.
- Nice
- Broke
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified Reviewer |Only lasted a handful of uses and failed at a questionably dangerous moment
The stupid button you have to click way to many times everytime you use it quit working immediately as anybody would assume, stupid design expected to fail by anybody with common sense, regret spending around $80 for something that was cheaply made and left me in a pinch in a serious situation, if you make a quality product you will have quality customers, I'll never buy your product again, you make a product for profit not for use or any sort of longevity! Very disappointed
User's recommendation: Don't waste your time on a disposable flashlight at a high end price
Parts for my Guidesman flashlight
You cannot contact Guidesman, the phone number that they provide on their website 800-555-**** takes you to a promotional department where they have a very hard sell on what they call a free $100.00 gift card to be used anywhere for anything. They tell you it is being provided by a reputable company but will not tell you the reputable companies name.
The gift card is free for $3.95 you just need to provide a credit card number for the activation fee of $3.95. I passed on that offer I will not give out my Credit card number to anyone I do not know.
WDO NOT hen I pressured them for Guidesman's phone number they gave me the same number listed on a different website 800-***-***** which when called, is disconnected. Therefore, it is impossible to talk to Guidesman.
User's recommendation: DO NOT buy any Guidesman products.
Will not charge after using less than 6 months
Either charging system failed or the battery is not holding a charge anymore but the lights don't even come on when it charges now

Verified ReviewerGuidesman outdoor furniture
I bought 2 guidesman rocking folding outdoor chairs 2 years ago. I keep them in our house during the cold months, only out from April to October.
They are already falling apart at the seams.
Is this normal? i am unhappy with how quickly they are falling apart for the money that I paid for them.
Preferred solution: Replacement of the 2 chairs

Verified Reviewer |Guidesman flashlight battery holder problem
Emily contacted me immediately and asked for details of my problem and a picture if possible. The company then sent me a new battery holder.
I am totally satisfied with the service. Don't let the batteries leak because the plastic holder deteriorates.

Verified ReviewerPoor material for canopy
I just purchased the 10x10 Easylift pop up canopy yesterday, 4.14.24. Had it up less than 24 hours and the canopy ripped.
I have been using this style of canopy for years. This is the first one that has ripped, and in record breaking time. It ripped right where the Velcro strap secured to the frame. 90$ for less than a day use.
To note, this is the only canopy I have owned that doesn't have tie down loops at each top corner to secure it to the ground. Only came with stakes.
Not impressed. Would like a refund but sounds like it is hard getting hold of C.S.
- Ease of use
- Reasonable price
- No reinforcements
- Poor quality
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified Reviewer |So dissatisfied
I bought the Guidaman 6 Man Sports Dome Tent because the first description said, 'Tub-like floor to keep water out!' We anticipated rain on our trip. Currently, everything I brought with me for camping in our tent is soaked because all the seams are leaking.
The two pockets on each side are leaking and I'm extremely upset. We still have 4 days remaining and everything is wet. We don't have anywhere to put anything or to let it dry...
My bedding, air mattress, clothes, food, bags, etc., everything is ruined because the description said 'to keep water out'!!! Unbelievable!!!
- Leaks and does hold water in the tub shape
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Do not purchase
Flashlite quit working
They make it almost impossible to get ahold of somebody to get the warranty information.I paid a lot of money for The flashlight And I can't even get ahold of customer service to get The warranty. Word-of-mouth is a fine thing, to have according to this kind of stuff. I work in a corporation that I can mass send a email to My co- workers.
User's recommendation: No! *** customer service.

Verified Reviewer |Missing chair parts
I bought two Gaurdsman chairs from Menards and found the plastic feet on the legs Were gone. It appeared they never installed from new.
I didnt want to replace it with another one so I emailed Guardsmen direct to see if they could mail me four new ones and I would install them myself. Its been a week now and I havent heard anything back from Guardsmen.
I called Menards and they gladly will exchange it for a different chair. I will be returning it tomorrow morning since no contact has been made with the manufacturer.

Verified ReviewerResolved: Guidesman flashlight
Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. Write me a hand written apology with a replacement plus a smaller version and a lantern. I was very impressed by the urgency and sincerity to resolve the issue.
I bought a guidesman 8000 lumen flashlight from Menards last summer. It worked great until it fell 2 ft off of a small box.
It pushed everything inside of it up. I couldn't charge it I couldn't turn it on it was useless. The durability of this product is horrible especially when all it took was 2 ft drop to break it. I used it 2 times and when I needed it, it broke.
All the advertising of it being a durable product in my eyes was a lie, I have the proof. Tell me or show me differently.
- Good when it worked
- Broke so easily
Preferred solution: I'm not looking for a refund, but I am looking for a new flashlight.
User's recommendation: Avoid the 8 thousand lumen flashlights
Canopy top
I bought a Guidesman 8x8 Easy-up canopy. I used it twice.
The third time out ithe canopy ripped in 2 places where velcro is sewn in. I taped it but it continued to tear.
It is now destroyed. I request that Menards or Guidesman supply a new replacement top.
