Home Trends 20 Oz Vanilla Candle By halcammom on Sep 17, 2007 - Updated Sep 18, 2011

This candle was bought at my local Wal-mart for 4.97. It smells very nice and strong so I thought I was getting a good deal. However, the candle is burning straight down the middle, leaving A LOT of unburned candle wax around the outer edge of the candle. It appears that less than 25% of this candle is actually burning.

I have bought similar candles from Candle-lit and did not experience this. They, too, were 20 oz jar candles in a very similar shape jar, ie same circumference and height. The Candle-lit candles burned the entire candle, leaving no extra candle wax except in the very bottom. I thought that the Home Trend Candle would burn the same since they both have one wick burning the same circumference. I was WRONG! I am very disappointed.

I will probably not buy this candle again. I feel as if there is too much wasted candle in this jar.
