Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 May 2023After losing my wife at christmas I have booked myself a few days away photographing gannets in Scotland & then walking in the lakes & decided to try camping as I am travelling alone.
Bought this after reading reviews & after another model that I bought had missaligned pan supports & was unstable.
This looked good when I opened it to check, being small, lightweight & stable with a reasonably wide pan support, holding my small kitchen frying pan & saucepan nice & steady.
Unfortunately I never had any gas at the time & so didn't try it out properly (schoolboy error). Now one week away from my trip I have just hooked it up to a gas cannister to try it only to find that the ignition dosen't work! Many of the reviews say that it does not last but I would expect it to work initially.
I have now missed the returns window so am stuck with something that does not do what it says on the tin. I hate that phrase purely because so little these days does do what it says.
I will now have to buy a lighter & use it for this trip but it is far from ideal. I had considered bying another to keep in my rucksack so that I always had one ready packed whenever I went walking but I won't be doing that now. No good taking a stove & forgetting/ losing your means of lighting it.
Although extremely dissapointed it comes as no surprise nowadays when so many things are churned out cheaply with little regard for quality control or customer satisfaction. This is not just limited to ÍøÆغÚÁÏ although they do seem to attract more than thier fair share of companies producing shoddy goods.
The moral of this story? Try everything as soon as you receive it/ get it home & take heed of reviews. Everybody's opinion is different but if enough people say it is poor then it probably is.
