'WELL MADE STOVE KEEPS UP THE PRIMUS TRADITION FOR QUALITY!'
Strengths:
Very stable base and large pan supports.
Preheater coil means stove can be used in very cold conditions and the stove gives maximum performance.

Can be easily operated with a gloved hand as the valve is built onto the canister attachment.

Built in piezo means no searching for matches!
Weaknesses:
None as of yet
Overall:
What can I say, "Primus" says it all.

'SUPERB STOVE, VERY EFFICIENT'
Strengths:
The shielded part of the stove helps to maintain efficient heating, and very little radiated heat can be felt around the stove.Very stable, yet folds down small. Can boil a cup of water in seconds!
Weaknesses:
none as yet!
Overall:
Very efficient in terms of fuel, so great for backpackers and those who don't want to carry much fuel.

'BRILLIANT'
Strengths:
Packs down very small, tough, fast, controlable, doesn't rust (like coleman) pan grips are excelleent - wide, grippy and level.
Weaknesses:
Pre heat loop makes no difference. Rather dip the fuel canister in warm water for a second or two! Can flare when lighting - listen carefully for the gas and open up very slowly - burnt knuckles otherwise.
Overall:
I'd buy another.
