I have used this stove for 6+ years with no problems, it fires up and cleans easily. Simple and reliable, what more could you ask for, except a camp chef to do all your cooking.

Great stove. I have used it in all conditions (up to about 12,000 ft) in California, Arizona, and Ohio. Very simple design that is easy to maintain and operate.

I've had this stove for quite a while and it works flawlessly. If you're trips are short enough to where you can rely on prepackaged fuel containers it rocks. BTW, my camping style is to pack in real food for 2-3 day hikes or car camping on flyfishing trips: angel hair pasta, olive oil, real garlic, etc. This stove works better than some apt stoves I've had.

I do not own this stove but have decent experience in the Smoky Mtns w/ a whisperlite. I would really recommend a Peak one (one piece stove) no- priming-required stove over a whisperlite or other component stove for reasons of: 1)ease of use, you don't have to fiddle w/ fuel connections or wind screens. 2)priming isn't required on the peak ones which is dangerous, I think 3) I think the Peak One is much more stable b/c the inflexible hose doesn’t force one side up. 4) except when you have to pour fuel into the stove, there’s no danger of fuel spills as when you prime or assemble a whisperlite. 5) There are too many parts! 6) Simmer temperatures are attainable w/o going out on the Peak ones I had my experience w/ the stove in the mtns in temperatures in the teens and I discovered the weight of a Peak one is truly worth the convenience when your fingers are numb and you’re hungry. I would never buy a whisperlite or like stove for these reasons. Just think, when you want to use the stove all you do is take the thing out of it’s bag, retrieve matches and light it up. That’s it.

I used this stove with a group with whom I go hiking every year, Appalachian Mountain Teen Project(AMTP), and loved it's performance. It was light, easy to set up, seemed durable, and could boil water quite quickly.

Great product! I've used mine for over 4 years and never had a problem. I really like the ability to simmer! Also, the windscreens seemed flimsy out-of-the-box, but have lasted very well. Some things to watch: Can be a little unstable due to small footprint, small pot supports. The isobutane isn't the greatest in colder conditions, but that isn't the stove's fault.

The MSR Rapidfire Stove is light, strong and very efficient. It can boil 1 litre of water in 4 minutes, in almost any weather condition! It's also tiny, so it fits almost anywhere. I'm very impressed, and if they weren't illegal in Britain, I'd buy another!

I bought this stove fairly recently and have only used it a few times. For the times I did put it to use, it performed flawlessly. It boiled water very quickly and I had no problems setting it up quickly. The windshield does seem quite flimsy but it performed its job well. This stove is good for short excursions since you can only use one type of pre-pressurized fuel.
