Manker E12 vs MagLite ML300LX 3-Cell

The Manker E12 makes for a good, if unremarkable, Standard Flashlight for people with a $30 budget.

The MagLite ML300LX 3-Cell, however, is merely mediocre at its $74 asking price, when compared to similarly priced products, and won't satisfy the needs of most people.

In either case, we suggest that you first take a look at some other options at the $30 and $75 price points before committing to one of these - it's likely that you'll be able to find some better alternatives.

If you're still interested in learning more about the Manker E12 and MagLite ML300LX 3-Cell, however, we wrote a summary of what we could find about them:

The Manker E12 was loved by reviewers at Wirecutter (NYTimes), a highly trusted source that performs reliable in-depth testing. It did great in its "The Best Flashlight" roundup where it was named its "Runner Up", which, in itself, makes it a product worth considering.

Moving on to the MagLite ML300LX 3-Cell: no sources that perform reliable and objective hands-on testing have included it in their Standard Flashlight roundups, which usually means that a product doesn't make for a good purchase.
