Powerful and loud
After decades with the MSR Dragonfly, I decided to get something a little lighter and hopefully more quiet for portage and hiking. While the stove is indeed much lighter it is very loud. I was surprised by this volume and can find little on remote canister stove decibel ratings. Because of my long standing experience and pleasure with MSR, I bought this but had I known it was so loud I would have looked at other options. It is also on the very high end of cost for remote stoves when compared to FireMaple, GSI, Soto and others. I do not think it is worth the added cost.

Despite the trend for everything
Despite the trend for everything lighter, this stove is the most versatile of all the MSR canister stoves! Has a windscreen so you can use it in windy areas, bake bread, and boil water all thru the winter. The supports are strong and big enough for larger pots, Simmers terrific. Turning the canister upside down allows you to use all the fuel- nothing wasted. It is compact and plenty light enough.

Disappointed
This stove started out great. Great function, great pack weight, fast boil. Now is where the two stars comes in; it is not in any way what I would call “durable”. Unless mine had a faulty weld, it seems that basic bumps in a pack can and did break the gas intake connection. I didn’t realize at first, set up my stove on the second day of my trip, lit the burner, and after a second heard a combustion sound and saw a flame coming from the bottom. There was a faint blue flame still coming through the burner, but not the pressure it should be. At this point, less than 2 years and only 4 trips deep, this stove seems to be completely ruined. Do I weld it? Replace it? Choose something different? I’m not hard on my equipment, but I now have a useless stove and a coffee percolator with a thick layer of carbon from before I realized the stove was broken. Just another layer of frustration and disappointment.
