Summary: Overall a very tough set of pots. You don't have to worry about wearing any finish off like with the fancy teflon ones. When food does stick just throw some sand or fine gravel in and simply grind the burnt food off with a scour pad. The Lid can be filled with water and turned upside down over the pot when cooking so there is some good hot dishwater ready without wasting any extra fuel. The stuff sack seems a bit bulky, I use one of those big red brocolli elastics to hold the things together and it works great.
Customer Service: Never used it!
Similar Products Used: Heavy Nonstick pots that wore out because of hitting eachother when stacked together.

Summary: I use them around 15 times a week and the only problems were a warped bottom on the 2L pot, and burned pasta wich stained the bottom but is coming off with time. Keep a close eye on your dinner and you will be happy.

Summary: I got mine with the heat exchanger as well and they are great. I've had them for 5 years and have no complaints. They are light enough, sturdy, clean easily and the size of the pans is about right for me. I can't think of any bad points and good points well, they'er pans and they do their job well.
Customer Service: I think they're pretty good though I've never needed them. I also have and MSR XGK stove which is superb.
Similar Products Used: Trangia. I have a frying pan and it really is good. Non stick etc really nice but used for a slightly different type of trip.

Summary: We've had our set for 3 years now and love it. It is a tad heavy for backpacking but very durable and easy to clean. We pack or MSR Shaker Jet stove inside the kit. We almost never use the big pot except as dish pot to hold soapy water.
