No fuel came out, even though the pressure in the bottle was good. I had to disassemble it and it turned out that the hose was completely blocked and the iron wire in the hose was stuck. I had to work to get it out. Lubricating it according to the instructions was almost impossible. After cleaning, the fuel started to flow normally, but it doesn't inspire confidence. The o-rings were also blackened from when they were new, which is normal. As if it was a used device.| Overall rating |
Difficult to use
| Overall rating |
After a little learning, it is easy to use and works as it should. Preheating with ethanol reduces sooting. The only downside is the plastic pump, which is worth booking a second one for a longer trip. In the International model, the connection between the bottle adapter and the hose is also a bit suspicious, it rotates and there may be a seal in it that cannot be replaced. In the Universal model, the bottle/gas adapter can be disassembled and there are 2 x O-rings in the same place.| Overall rating |
Almost non-existent flame control OFF/HELL. Fuel remains in the hose and when the cooker is disassembled, fuel is wasted. You can recover some if you drain the hose back into the bottle. In the Universal model, you can turn the fuel bottle over and let the fuel drain from the hose and burn out. When using kerosene, the preheating cup is too small. An absorbent blanket replaced in the pre-heating cup and/or another cup placed under the pre-heating cup will help with this.
This cooker went into circulation quite quickly...| Overall rating |
Does everything you expect of it, can't say anything on long term use.
