"Bought this 19 years ago and still use it today" 05/05/13

Used propane before this stove and had to sleep with the bottle to make the stove work on cold mornings. This Whisperlite has worked great in every situation. Cold or hot temps, high or low elevation, this thing always works. Flame is easy to control, has long burn time for any kind of cooking, boils water fast. There are lighter weight stoves to choose from, but I carry the extra weight for the no hassle at hungry time. The fuel also is helpful when trying to start a fire in the rain.

"Great and Durable" 04/26/13

My friend owns one of these and we use it everytime we go camping. We have used it on a windy mountain top and in the dead of a Montana winter. It has never failed us and has always been easy to set up. The nice thing with the fuel system is it is open to different fuel types and can be refilled yourself making fuel slightly cheaper than that of a jetboil.

"Great middle of the road stove" 03/27/13

There are a ton of stoves out there, but few have the proven record of this stove. It does anything and everything you want it to. You can field strip it it. Clean it in soap and water. It's a liquid fuel stove which has a huge upside in long term cost. It takes some finesse to simmer, but a little practice and that's achievable. Light enough for soloing, but big enough for group cooking. I carried one to Philmont 15 years ago and still carry the same one. This is the stove for you!

"Great for long trips" 03/15/13

With the Whisperlite you dont need to worry about being stoveless deep in the backcountry. This stove is very easy to repair, and comes with a full (but mini) repair kit. It is also very light on fuel, a container can last a lot longer than expected. A great product and u would recommend it to and camper.

"Brilliant Stove!" 02/04/13

This stove is perfect for someone who wants a reliable, white gas stove that is capable of cooking food for almost any amount of people. I have cooked large pots of dinner for 17 people with this stove, and it never disappoints. Storing it is a breeze, but get a wind guard with it to help make cooking faster and easier.

"Good, reliable stove" 02/02/13

The WhisperLite is a fantastic stove that will work in just about any environment. I have never had a single issue int he two years I have owned one. The stove is simple to ignite, even in windier conditions. My only complaint with the stove is that the flame control isn't fine tuned. It is very difficult to have the flame low enough to just simmer something without the flame going out. Other than that, this stove is very durable and will pack up easily into your pot.

"Best all around stove out there" 01/31/13

If you can only have one or need one stove the whisperlite is it. I have used one for over 10 years with no failures. The new version is even better with metal pump parts. Thank you MSR for that one.

"Good Price, Great Stove" 12/07/12

For what you're paying, this is a wonderful little stove! Very easy to clean and maintain when out in the backcountry when you need to make things work!

"Works great!" 11/09/12

I use it camping, backpacking, kayaking, and deer hunting. It is so nice to be able to pull out a little stove and boil up some water for food. It took me a little while to figure out how to lite it, but once i did it works great! I bough a little backpacking cook set with it and off i go! It is a little hard to control the flame on it, so it is better for boiling water and cooking things at high temps. Kind of hard if you just need to keep something warm.
