Fantastic product, great quality and exemplar functionality!

Made from high quality materials
Low fuel consumption
Non-stick interior makes it a breeze to clean
Doubles up as a normal gas stove which was unexpected
Very fast boiling
Metal grill cools down in seconds to make it quicker to pack away
Gas and stove fits snugly inside main pot

Small bits easily lost and irreplaceable for the stove conversion
If other gas canisters (not primus gas canisters) are bought then the lid doesn't properly fit on as there isn't much tolerance in space

Great great product, although it is the more expensive option then other Jetboil systems, if your going to have the tea - you might as well have the sugar. It only works out to be roughly £20 more, but quality, practicality and performance is greatly improved and much more worth it.
In order to use it as a stove, you need to remove the main cup of course, then add the heat shield, which looks like a mini frizbee (and works great as one!) as well as add three 'Z' shaped supports for the stove, these pieces are small and so I keep the whole Jetboil in a small fabric bag with a side compartment to secure the small bits, which I would be mortified if I lost - for this reason I deduct a point for reliability.

Overall, great product, and I haven't found a better product yet.
