Even better than I thought....
Firemanbil6 years ago
I have been using the Snowpeak Gigapower for the last several years... great stove always works. I’ve always felt it was a little slow to boil.
Today I picked up the Sato Amicus. I decided to try a head to head boil test in my backyard here in Sno Valley. It was 68 degrees and windy and overcast.
I used a snowpeak ti pot and filled it with 2 cups of water.
Amicus - 2 cups of water = 2:20 to rolling boil
Gigapower - 2 cups of water = 4:15 to rolling boil
I think that those times speak for themselves...

Not Aluminum- pot is rusting.
JAckie274 years ago
Stove works fine but I've had this for about a year and the pot is now rusting where the walls meet the bottom. Whatever it's made of it is not aluminum, which does not rust, and I am concerned it is simply steel coated with some kind of non-stick material made out of who knows what which is NOT what I signed up to eat out of. Not happy to purchase a pot from a large and reputable company like REI that is made overseas and not made of the materials stated.

EXCELLENT LITTLE STOVE
5 years ago
PROS: Ultralight; comes with cooking set (unlike other etailers). If you're into cutting weight this little stove is superb. Unsure how it compares to other company stoves. Boiled 500 ml of water in 2 1/2 minutes. Nice little nylon carrier. The 250 gm cartridge nests nicely inside with the stove. With other products only the 100 gm cartridge fits inside the pot. It is 3 inches tall. Two lightweight pots: 1000 ml and 500 ml but I recommend not filling them to their capacities. CONS: Small pot holders appear fragile so you can't abuse it. The piezo igniter was finicky but both times I lit the stove it worked on the 3rd try. I recommend keeping the stove in its little bag to protect it and bring matches for back up. The kit comes with a nylon mesh bag that won't last long with constant use. The smaller pot nests as a cover but does not sit completely and is easily dislodged SUMMARY: Nice, light little stove that can be used primarily or as a back up.

Great deal on a first rate stove
2 years ago
I got this set last week when the price was still $44.99. The deal was incredible. This is a first rate stove just as nice and as high end as the pocket rocket 2. The pots it came with fit a typical fuel canister and the stove, they came with a mesh carrying bag to put it all in. The pots do not lock together when you’ve stowed the stove and fuel so they can move around a bit in your bag but the carrying bag cinches enough to at least keep it all together. The stove works marvelously, though I have yet to test it in wind I read it works well. The price has gone up by $5 and I’m not sure why but even at $50 this is a better value and equal quality to the stand alone pocket rocket.

Better than the windmaster

It's smaller, lighter and can cook slower than the windmaster without compromising wind resistance. I have a lot of stoves and this is the best.

Nice combo set, weak construction on handle
5 years ago
I ordered this little combo stove to replace the Jet Boil that i currently have. I love that the Jet Boil gets my water ripping quickly, but the Amicus finally allows me to actually control the flame, which is something I've wanted for a while. The boil time itself wasn't bad, I unfortunately didn't time it, but seemed to be pretty conservative with fuel with my week of using it, and I never had a flame get blown out by the wind, even at its lower settings. One issue i had with this set, is that immediately, the metal strap that holds the handles to the 1L pot disconnected. I'm not sure if it was just an unlucky one i was sent, or if others have had this issue as well. It didn't seem to secured in one particular spot, but the 500 mL pot held up just fine, as well as the other end of the 1L ( So far). I didn't have time to send it back and get a replacement so i just went with it, and it still held up. Other than that little hiccup with the handle, I've been really happy with how this set preformed so far/

Hot lips work and keep the pots together
2 years ago
I haven't actually tested the stove yet, hard to find fuel around here right now, but the stove itself is really well reviewed as is. These pots, however, are definitely not the greatest, but for the price it's a pretty good deal. I tested them on my kitchen gas stove and noticed the bottom had scratches from my cook top's iron grates, so do be aware that the coating is really thin and you definitely don't want to use metal utensils with these. For me that's the only real con, I can't use metal utensils and I'm going to need to find a silicone spoon to carry with me. If you just plan on boiling water with these, obviously they'll work great for that. I'll be using the smaller pot as a mug, so I bought some Snow Peak hotlips. There are many complaints about the pots not staying together, but not only do the hotlips fit, they actually provide the perfect amount of friction when placing the pots together so that they won't come apart in your pack. I haven't tested this thoroughly, yet, but I can pickup the pair by the handle of the smaller pot and shake it around and they don't come apart (with the stove inside even). If you're like me you're probably agonizing on whether you should get this set, or the Soto Windmaster and some Toaks pots. I don't think you can wrong with either, and there are pros and cons to both. If I were going the Toaks route I'd get the 900ml pot along with the 550ml mug/pot. The included set here gets you similarly sized pots for a lot less. Toaks + Windmaster: Pots way more durable, can use metal utensils, lighter weight (not by much, couple of ounces). Windmaster is larger and the arms aren't attached, but is quieter than amicus and provides a slighter wider flame and will perform better in below freezing weather due to the regulator. Major difference in cost, almost an extra $100. Soto Amicus Combo: Super cheap, pots are slightly bigger (+1 for the 130mm wide pot base vs 115mm on the Toaks), stove almost just as good, a bit louder than windmaster, but has better arms that are attached and is much smaller. Pots aren't buy it for life like the Toaks and you can't use metal utensils, but they're still really light weight and get the job done.

Great stove but....
2 years ago
I used this stove for 21 days on a JMT thru-hike in September, replacing an MSR Pocket Rocket 2 after Cascade Designs said it would take >12 weeks to hear from them regarding a pot arm replacement. Still have not heard back. Stove worked flawlessly and I prefer the 4 pot arms and folding mechanism to the MSR. Would rate stars with the exception of the igniter, which was unreliable as an ignition source. There was always a visible spark, but it would take multiple attempts and fiddling with fuel flow to ignite. Had issue with different fuel maker cannisters. Mini Bic was a must not to waste fuel. Would give the model w/o igniter 5 stars.

The one company that stands behind their product!
3 years ago
Hey guys, Just wanted to let you know this is the best stove I have ever owned in my life AND this company 100% stands behind their product AND their customer service is out of this world. I have traveled with their stove for 4 years now to 55 countries on my motorcycle and it has been through some rough environments and back. Recently someone stole half of my kit in Mexico on my ride from New York to Argentina. I called up Soto asking them if they could sell me parts to replace the missing half. They went above and beyond and gave me the missing parts for free. I doubt any other company would have done this for me. I will forever be a customer to Soto for the rest of my life.

Impulse buy but no regrets
4 years ago
We decided last minute to go on a hike and cook a lunch. We didn't have a stove so we ran into REI and picked this one up without doing ant research. It worked flawlessly. Easy to operate and heats up fast. It boiled about 2 cups of water in two minutes flat (yes, we timed it). Only used it once but I'm extremely happy with this purchase, the price and the performance.
