Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"Made from stainless steel and aluminum, the Giga Power Manual stove can provide up to 10,000 BTU's. The stove continues firing until the fuel cartridge is emptied. Features a stable support assembly with four collapsible legs that provides exceptional stability. Five grooves in the top of the support assembly prevent slippage and allow ease of cooking with a single meal pot or a small metal cup. Foldable, stainless steel spindle allows precision flame control and ease of manipulation. Always level, the spindle is designed with safety in mind, the length prevents the user from getting to close to the flame. One liter of water boils in about 3 minutes. Cold weather operation to -10 Celsius."

From Backcountry.com:
"Snowpeak GigaPower Stove with manual ignition is an incredibly small, lightweight, and convenient canister stove. This powerful little stove weighs just 3.25 oz but produces 10,000 BTUs (most camping stoves are 8-9,000 BTUs). Use this backpacking stove with Snow Peak fuel in temperatures as low as 14degF (-10deg C). The Snow Peak GigaPower Stove is designed to stow with a fuel canister in a Snowpeak Solo Combo Cook Set. The GigaPower backpacking stove burns 45 minutes at maximum gas output (10,000 BTUs) with the GP-110 fuel canister. This lightweight, compact camping/backpacking stove comes in a high-quality plastic carrying case. Also available in a titanium version (our item no. SNO0004). **DOES NOT INCLUDE FUEL CANISTER."

"Used exclusively in three season conditions, I recommend this stove for anybody wanting a basic, no-frills unit that you can rely on for a long time.

You can get the auto version, but I don't need the extra do-dads to make me happy. I can adjust the flame to almost any situation, but I never have to crank it up full bore to get a little water boiling."

"It's a good stove, light, compact, and with a hard plastic carrying case. Most of the manual is in Japanese and the only warning label on the carrying case is also in Japanese. It fits easily inside the Trek 900 Ti cookware. The flame is very powerful and difficult to adjust very low. Overall good."

"The stove is tiny, very light, and powerful. The flame is wide, so if you've got the right cookware, pancakes come out nice and evenly cooked. The flame control is pretty good; you can turn it down to a simmer, but I've found that the flame tends to creep up just a little after you get it low (not a big deal)."

"This stove is great. It folds up so tiny it will fit anywhere. I never go on a trip without it. It has never let me down and even worked at subzero temps (had to warm the fuel canister with body heat first). This thing will put off some heat too! Best stove for the money."

"I got this stove about 18 months ago and have gone through about 15 small canisters for fuel (so I have used it a lot). The GigaPower has done extremely well when it's just me and another person, but it seems to take a little while longer to heat up my bigger meals."

As with the Snow Peak Auto, it performs the same way--AWESOME! I can't believe how fast this little stove boils water. I'm very, very pleased with the simplest of innovations--it makes life that much more interesting.

I don't have any pros and cons to write about this product, however I wouldn't recommend using this stove for a myriad of people, however I did cook for four people and it performed perfectly!

Highly recommended for the serious backpacker!.
