Manufacturer's Description:
Building on the foundation created by the highly fuel efficient Primus EtaPower EF backcountry stove, the Primus EtaExpress represents the newest, lightest, and most compact stove in the Eta line. Designed with the needs of the solo outdoor enthusiast in mind and weighing in at just 418 g / 14.7 oz, the EtaExpress consists of a lightweight stove (82 g / 2.9 oz) that mounts directly to an LP gas canister, a clip-on wind screen for fuel efficiency, and a 1 L pot with fly pan lid (294 g / 10.4 oz). A heat exchanger mounted directly to the pot keeps heat from escaping, maximizing fuel efficiency and lowering boil times. For added versatility, the EtaExpress can be suspended above ground using the Primus suspension kit, sold separately. All stove components, including a 230 g LP gas canister, can be stowed in the pot for compact, well protected transportation form one campsite to the next.

It does have a feel of quality to it, as opposed to the more mass-production feel of the Jetboil. Here’s the pros:
- Lever action piezo ignitor, that makes it easy to start without tipping it over, like the push-button variety."
