User Review: MSR WhisperLite Internationale

DON'T BUY IT

i have two of these - both given to me and I leave them both at home

i think they might have changed the plunger design, but mine literally came apart in my hands every time i tried to pump it the fuel line got blocked within 3 mins of using it with unleaded petrol

it has almost no simmer control - yes i know not that important at 27000 feet, but nice to have
its expensive for what it is

why not save a bit more + get a MSR firefly

it has a simmer control
its really easy to light
its really light to carry
it has an automated self cleaning pricker which you just turn to clean the fuel line

the only down side is that its quite difficult to take apart, but then why would I need to .... its never gone wrong
its a bit more expensive, but worth it as you make the money up by being able to use unleaded petrol
i bottle lasted me a week cooking twice a day
