User Review: MSR WhisperLite

Price Paid: $60 @ Campmor

I spent the last two weeks camping in Great Smoky Mtns. N.P., my twenty-five year old WhisperLite fed me every day. As others here have noted, it's simple, reliable and the thing lasts. I've used it in all seasons, put it away for years, it always performs.

I'll buy it some new gaskets, but other than that, I have more than gotten my $60 back through the years of use. It's an excellent stove.

My Whisperlight was the early 1980's model that had a red cloth-like cover on the fuel flex-piping. It finally died when the flex hose to hard pipe joint broke.I called MSR for the repair part. They told me to not worry about repairing it, just send in $20 with the Stove, or $40 with the stove and pump to get a BRAND NEW Whisperlight!

That is great ! In a world where the opposite has become S.O.P., it's heartening to find a company like MSR supporting their customers as if they really cared about them.

Exactly! Just $40 to replace a 20-25 year old stove, with a NEW stove that would cost around $80 in the store. Will I buy more MSR products? You betcha!
