Very steady, easy to use, Ok for a picnic

Poor quality, break easily, Will not cook in cold weather, very big and bulky
Overall, spend a bit more and get something better.

Haven't used this for cooking big meals, but for fajitas at night and bacon in the morning, it was good. Don't buy at full price. Wait until it's discounted

You won't need any more than this for boiling a kettle or frying your breakfast - great value, lightweight and functional - 5 stars!
Good Size Burner, 08 September 2011
By Harryhighx (Denny)
Well, it does what it says on the tin very well, easy to put together and virtually monkey proof. Easy to ignite (Providing you keep the top pan holder off until you lgnite it and then replace it) Good size to carry about and weighs very little. At a tenner its not bad value....£20 is well over the top as you can get similiar ones better built cheaper. Gas flow is great and wil heat up your water/cook your meals in no time which is what you want.

These are ok but you wont put up with them forever. I have taken one back after one use, as it used to extinguish itself after getting hot. The flame never quite made it. Thank goodness we bought two so it wasnt a great problem, but couldnt caused an issue had I only bought one.
You get what you pay for, not great construction, but a good starter kit. Spend a little more and go for a branded name. This will make a good backup.
Absolutiely Amazing Value, 05 September 2011
By Danny (Melksham)
I bought one of these for a two week camping / touring trip across Europe. Because I was planning on using it most days, for boiling water and cooking breakfast and most evening meals, I also bought 12 gas cartridges (as I had no idea how long each cartridge would last, especially when cooking meals for two of us.
The cooker itself surpassed all expectations and worked incredibly well. We used 6 cartridges for our 13 night holiday and found that these cartridges were available to purchase in Europe too!
Only suggested improvement - the cooker could have a foldup windbreak to protect the flame from cross wind.

Very portable and light gas cooker – Always lights first times and was excellent for cooking and heating water. Have two and wouldn’t go camping without them.

Fantastic piece of kit, lightweight, compact, no messing with gas bottles or matches, managed to cook 3 meals, 2 breakfasts & boiled 3 kettles on 1 cartridge during our 1st camping trip, so good we went back & bought another one so we can cook 2 things at same time *****

Excellent cooker - very easy to use and lights automatically. Bought this since I have one of the same design, which I've successfully for many years. However, the build of the present cooker is of poorer quality, but this is reflected in the very cheap price. On reflection, I probably would have paid more for a better built system, but still this unit is great value for money.
Small but functional, 01 September 2011
By vicanddunk (Sheffield)
Bought 2 of these when on offer.. easy to use.. gives good heat, even in moderate breezy conditions. Easy to clean and uses gas canisters sparingly. Bough these in preference to double hobs and am not disappointed. Good for everything from boiling water to a full fry up.
Really impressed !, 01 September 2011
By Spoton (Southampton)
I was sure that for this price I wouldn't get much but I was very pleasantly surprised. We cooked a good few meals and had none of the difficulties suggested in some of the other reviews. WE will take this everywhere we go, with a kettle and some tea bags. Excellent !

very nice little cooker done the job for our first time camping as we bought two of them and for the price well worth it
By scottie (edinburgh)
Bought this stove for a family weekend camping trip, instead of the MSR which can be rather dangerous lighting with kids around! The stove is great, lights first time, quickly heats up good quantities and very stable. We devised a windbreak which made it quicker. Highly recommend!

This is a great value gas stove, I would definitely recommend it. Heats food/drink up really quickly. No complaints at all.
Very Handy, 22 August 2011
By Susywong (Stockport)
Handy and lightweight
A little bit flimsy and the ignition is a little tempramental, however excellent value for money
Excellent!, 21 August 2011

For those people who haven't given 5 stars, come on.........for the money. Brewed up no problem on a windswept Llanberris Pass, saves taking a flask out with you for a fresh coffee or tea.
COMPACT AND RELIABLE, 21 August 2011
By DREW (LANARK)

A touch of gas, 13 August 2011
By Anne H (Northumberland)
Mixed thoughts about this one we bought two for a recent camping trip. Good value for money, handy carry case and easy to use even for a first timer like myself or so I thought unfortunately when we got to the camp site and I started to cook I found one worked well and the other was hit and miss with flames blowing all over and going out easily sadly it needs to be returned (faulty). The one that worked well was fab and would definitely recommend to others.
