I had a JetBoil Sumo and the spark igniter stopped working on the first backpacking trip. no big deal. But then the jets got clogged after a few years and it wouldn't stay lit. After taking it apart cleaning it still wouldn't work and some guy posted a video of cutting open this side part to fix it etc... so forget it and I bought another jet boil but it was lopsided and wobbly, I never lit it. My other GSI products have always been great and this one is built tough, doesn't wobble with a larger pot o water, has great heat control and you can use it with any type of pan or backpacking pots. Save your $ and get this one not a JetBoil, it'll last and GSI stands by their products.
Works great but the arms are SO floppy. Even when folded they flop everywhere so if you think that would annoy you, i would avoid.
