MSR Whisperlite Universal

Never had a problem with any of my msr gear so felt very at ease buying this stove. I wasn't wrong! Great bit of kit

The perfect all-round stove. I recently upgradeed from MSR Whisperlite international to MSR Whisperlite Universal to get the ability to use gas during summer, while still be able to run off snow-scooter petrol during winter in a pinch. It works like a charm, is reasonable quiet and have a hight effect. It is also stable and light. In other words: it works well. Just a note: Be careful when using petrol, it can burn you badly. And start it up outside your tent.

What a stove! I bought this stove as I wanted an alternative to the the smaller and yet amazing Pocket Rocket. The versatility that this multifuel stove gives you cannot be underestimated. You no longer have to pack several used gas canister to make sure you will have enough fuel for your trek. The fuel bottle are easy to use burnt efficiently. Whilst using gas the whisperlite is the most quiet stove I have ever used and even using liquid fuels you won't feel like you are sitting next to an airfield. When using stainless canteens, the burn time to get your food ready or water boiling is clearly mind boggling. Last but certainly not least, it has been said for many years that the newest stoves could at last simmer and cook food rather than being only able to prepare porridge and boil water, well for the first time this statement is actually true. The Whisperlite Universal can simmer and won't burn food in your pan. Could not recommend this stove strongly enough. A must have for any avid trekker looking for a reliable and versatile stove.

The Swiss army knife of stoves! The Whisperlite international was always an incredibly versatile stove and with the new changes it has become even better. Super easy to maintain and repair in the field (can be stripped down with the convenient single tool included), bomb proof construction, and new simmer function! Used to be pain cooking more complex meals then pasta or porridge due to the lack of flame control and this seems to be the best addition to the new version. Pretty handy having the canister compatibility (especially if using in a tent! ), but liquid fuel will always be cheaper and more readily available. An awesome stove for any activity.
