Pre-Lit Fiber Optic Pine Christmas Tree vs Uten 4ft Fiber Optic Christmas Tree

Both are 4 ft white fiber optic trees with multicolor lights and roughly 125 tips, so the choice comes down to base and setup. The Pre-Lit Pine uses a plastic pot with an on/off switch and a 71-inch cord, and reviewers rate it 4.6 from 231 ratings. The Uten (sold under the Himaly name) sits on a four-legged metal stand and claims indoor and outdoor use, but it has far fewer owner ratings to judge it by. Buy the Pre-Lit Pine for a stable potted look with a proven track record; buy the Uten if you want a metal stand and think you may put it outside.

• Choose the Pre-Lit Pine if you want a potted tree with a switch on the base, a long lead cord and a large body of owner ratings behind it.
• Choose the Uten if you prefer a four-legged metal stand and want the option of using the tree outdoors.
