Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I usually have good experience with Yankee Candles. But 2 of the 3 I bought on Amazon were duds. Both Sparkling Cinnamon candles only burned about 50% of the wax before the wicks were spent. I always trimmed the wicks per the instructions on the bottom, but one of them sooted really badly and neither burned properly. On the first, about 1.5 inches from the bottom, the wick burned out because it was folded over and didn't go to the bottom of the candle. The other one burned with such a low flame that it burned a hole down into the wax without melting half of it. I've never had this problem with Yankee Candles purchased at a local brick and mortar store for $20+. Perhaps these $13 units on Amazon are factory rejects? On a positive note, they smelled good. Just wish I would have gotten them to burn thoroughly. I don't think I'll be buying any more of these off of Amazon.
