Summary: Excellent stove, served me well for many trips. Last weekend the connecting tube failed just in front of the valve. Took it apart and under the s.s. braid I found the plastic tubing cracked open. It cracked where it had a crease from being bent to store in my quart size pot. If yours easily folds over in this area, be advised it won't be an easy trailside fit to get it going again if it develops a leak. I like the stove enough to still recommend it, but would not trust one if the connecting hose has any area that folds over easily. I have used it on several week long winter trips with good results, it has replaced my wisperlight.

Summary: I bought the XTREME based on reviews. First trip out it failed and I was left without a stove (stove would start and flame would eventually go out). Luckily, I brought my old collapsable rack so I cooked over open fires (just like in the 70's). Sent the unit into Coleman for repair and they sent me a brand new unit within 2 weeks. Have been using it for 2 years now and LOVE IT. I also bought the repair kit in case I have any more problems on the trail. I've been packing since 1966 and have tried many different stoves over the years and this one is the best. High altitude, freezing temperatures, it's as solid as a rock. I've not experienced any problems finding fuel and I like the no muss, no fuss aspects of the stove. Totally adjustable flame with constant pressure right down to the last drop of fuel.
Customer Service: Excellent!!!

Summary: I just got the stove yesterday... REI delivered it nice and fast as they usually do with. I was surprised to see that the stove is made in the good ol' USA. The stove seems light enough and compact. It comes in a convenient carying bag. I fired the stove up and test boiled just over a cup of water in a matter of a few SHORT minutes... I was surprised at just how fast this things cooks... the controls seemed idiot proof too.... the flame is easily controlled.
Pro's: Made in the USA Decent weight Easily controlled flame It was on sale
Con's: The aluminum legs seem to be crudely cast... not really bad but not as nice as others I've seen. The fuel bottles are one-use this may prove expensive over time. It must be lit with a match or lighter... and it's almost awkward although not difficult at all, A piezo lighter would be nifty.
Customer Service: None really although I just ordered the new lamp that uses the same fuel as this stove... it seems to be backordered til the second coming of Christ.... (from Coleman)

Summary: This stove is awesome. Worth the few extra dollars for the convienance. My hiking buddies still comment over how easy to use and lightweight the stove and fuel are. Great range in burn settings (Flame thrower to low simmer) Quick to boil water. If you tend to simmer, your fuel will last a long time. I have gotten over 140 minutes of burn time out of one of the larger cylinders. Only drawback is getting the cylinders. Look around, they're out there. Recycling them is a bonus.
Customer Service: None
