Good begiiner sotve. EXTREMELy light. Best stove for the money. Fuel canisters go quickyl and can be expensive. I onyl keep using it becasue i invented a device to refuel these "one-use" cylonders. Thank god for ingenuity.

Good stove for the money. Stove AND fuel cannister fit in my cook pot. I intend on converting it to a hanging stove, which should eliminate any wind issues.

I love this little guy. I'm giving it 5/5 because it is ONLY $25 and it performs beyond what you'd expect for that much. Yes of course it's weak in cold conditions, what would you expect for a $25 stove. This fella is great for weekend and week long trips. Fast, maintenence free, SMALL, light and cheap cheap cheap. for $25, I LOVE THIS STOVE.

This is a decent stove for solo weekends in the summer, not so good when the temp.
drops however.It comes in handy for a quick cup of Coffee in the morning or You
can set it up fast on a lunch stop. The cartridges get to be a pain if You are going to
be out more than a couple of days or in the cold.(their output drops off)
If You are looking for a no-hassle stove for dayhiking or weekend use this is a good
choice and it's easy to set up.

This is a very effective little stove. At $25, it's a steal. I've operated the stove at close to 13,000ft and it burned strong. It does lack a windscreen though so you'll have to shield the stove carefully in the wind. Sure they make smaller stoves, but at 4 times the cost. A peak1 x stove would be a better choice if you want to spend the money.

Never had to deal with the manufacturer

This is a tough little stove. I've been using mine for 4 years and it's still working strong. It uses blended fuel canisters, which are kind of a pain for longer treks. And they don't sell them in the winter in town(Out of season). The micro boils a liter in about 4 minutes and has a nice adjustable flame. Drawbacks include weak performance on low fuel canisters, stability and no windscreen. Watch it carefully when you have a big, full pot cooking(Mine has spilled a few times) In the winter, it will work, but it's a good idea to warm the canister with your hands or set it in some water. Overall, it's a great beginner stove or one for all the weight freaks out there.

Good stove lightweight and compact. Plenty hot for use in the summer. If you can get by with one butane canister for a trip it's a good choice. For longer trips the extra fuel canisters become a hassle.
I haven't tried in the winter yet.

Excellent stove, lightweigt, nests inside a MSR Blacklite cookset and is very reliable, At 13,000 btus is hotter and has faster boil time then weightier and more expensive stoves, easy to light and maintain.

Butane canisters compact and the available lantern is awesome.

At $30 CDN what a great deal. A very light weight and easy to use stove. The stove works great in temps down to freezing(any colder, just duct tape a chemical handwarmer to the bottom of the fuel canister to keep it warm). Lack of a windscreen is it's only drawback.

Coleman is great to deal with. I've never had a problem with this stove but I have with other models and they honour their warrenties without question.

Outstanding! This is one of my many stoves. (I love the outdoors, and I love cooking. So, I have a few stoves.) Simply, it is light. There are lighter stoves, for 10 times the money. It works at moderately low temps, below freezing if you know your stuff. It works great at altitude. There are a lot of canister sizes (3, 8, 16, and 32 ounces). It is simple, durable, and has a preheater tube! Hey, wind screens are cheap and great ones are easily made.

Yes, I do have others. I do not always use this one. BUT, it is one of my favorites.
