High-tech and very fast.

Fast and fuel efficient
Packs away neatly
Non-stick pan
Stable
Wind proof
None really - may be a bit tricky to pack away in the dark or with cold hands.
Some may find it a little pricey, but it does come with an excellent pan that you'd otherwise have to buy as an extra.

I got this as a birthday present and was very pleased to open it. When I tried it out, the stove gave a satisfying roar and boiled the water very quickly - not sure how fast, but didn't have to wait long. It packs away neatly, although it is a little tricky to pack away the wind shield.

Light, stable, fast, efficient, tough, just some of the words you could use to describe this stove.

very stable cooking platform which comes with a fantastic non stick pan. Brings a lot of water to the boil quicker than by cooker at home and is easy to clean up and pack away when your done.
Some people do think its a little large for one person. I have lost too many meals from being careless with pocket rocket style stoves so would much rather sacrifice a little space to enjoy a good meal at the end of the day.
I love this stove. Much prefer it to anything else I have used. Multi fuel stoves are two fiddly and messy for most UK camping, I can't stand Trangias, Pocket Rocket style stoves are fantastically small but to unstable for my liking and Jet Boils are great for a brew at lunch but that's about it really.

Good for 2 but never for 1

Light, efficient and fast to boil
Too much for a single person trek
I like it and would recommend it for two on prolonged trips
