This is the new and improved Flash 1.0Liter from Jet Boil. It was purchased for our son who spent the summer at Philmont in the mountains. He took mine with him so we decided to gift this one to him for his birthday. Some of the upgrades the internal canister has various measurement markings vs the single mine does. Also the ignition system is a redesign with a twist knob vs a pushbutton. I added the pot holder accessory and he said it fits more securely than the last model. He did share that my Jet-boil came in handy while on staff at camp. Thanks Jet Boil for continuing to innovate.
My fiance and I got our Jetboil Flash 1.0L this year and it has become an essential part of our backpacking gear. We've been able to boil water quickly to use for our dehydrated meals and coffee in all types of conditions - including wet and windy days.
I have had my jetboil flash since 2009 and it has been boiling water without issue since. Colorado, Texas, Wyoming, Arizona, Michigan, Ontario, Minnesota, everywhere I go. It has always 'just worked'. I was a newb in 2009 but I still love it now whenever the task is boiling water. That said, I've also fried fish, simmered rice, made pancakes, and all sorts of other meals beyond freeze-dried with it. It's a simple win. Buy it.
I have been outdoor camping for over 35 years and I can confirm after using just about every camping stove the JetBoil Flash 1.0l outperforms anything I have every used. Kayaking through the Broken Islands is a game changer with the JetBoil. Notice in the background even the deer came out to see the JetBoil
I just bought this so I won't be able to give a valid review. My nephew has had the Jet boil 1.0 for almost 20 years and it is still working Great and he likes it .
I love my Flash. I always pack it for camping or outdoor outings where I want to make some quick coffee, tea or food.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great setup for a simple lightweight quick boil option for backpacking or light car camping travel. Functions as well as many priced higher. The issue before was a real crummy ignitor that many complained about and for good reason - mine broke before the end of the first trip I used it on out of the box. Returned and got the new setup with an ignitor that is incased now and not exposed as the original model. Would have given 5 stars but the cheap plastic lid is the next upgrade for this item that needs to happen. Put a sturdy lid on there where you are also not pouring hot beverages through a plastic surface - enough with the microplastics already!!!
I love my jetboil. I have used this product more times than I can count. As advertised, it is extremely quick at boiling water in less than a minute. I would recommend this product to anyone for hiking, camping, or home preparedness. My only complaint is that the lid on top doesn’t fit as secure as I would like. Most components are small enough to fit into each other and stack in the main cup. This product also cools down so fast that there is hardly any wait time to pack away.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this to make warm drinks while ice climbing in frigid Minnesota temps. I liked how easy this was to assemble with gloves on. The pot locks in securely into the burner. The turn and click ignition was nice because I did not have to take my gloves off to fumble with a lighter. In 5 degree weather it took about three minutes to boil 2 cups of water. I think this is because the pot was so cold to begin with. The lid made it easy to pour the water into my mug. Taking this apart was easy with the colored grip zone, no burning my hands. I highly recommend the Flash 1.0 for your water heating needs on the trail and on your next outdoor adventure. Jetboil gave me this free product to try.
I love my JetBoil Flash system. For me JetBoil = great memories. Whenever I think of my JetBoil I think of great times camping, hiking, backpacking, kayaking or bikepacking. I like it so much I bought a second one to keep in my truck all the time so I can whip up a cup of coffee, noodles or oatmeal whenever and wherever. People are always amazed at how fast I can boil 2 cups of water!
