Most Helpful Positive Review Fantastic stove. It does come with fuel bottle.
Confirmed, it does come with the fuel bottle. Iso/butane is a little hard to start, trick is to start it with the canister upside down. White gas burns hard and hot.

OPTIMUS PILARIS OPTIFUEL STOVE. GREAT STOVE

by PCT hiker, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on December 4, 2019
I purchased this stove for a PCT hike. It's a great choice. It sounds a bit loud when it works, but I can't find any downsides in every way. In particular, the fact that all fuels can be used, there is no restriction to use anytime, anywhere is an advantage
Best Used for:
  • Long distance backpacking
Would recommend: Yes

Optimus Polaris Optifuel Stove

by JB, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on April 12, 2019
The Optimus Polaris Optifuel is a great compact, sturdy, all metal stove! Runs both white-gas and compressed propane/butane and works exceptionally well. I especially like the integrated jet-cleaning needle tool and wide, fold out pot supports/base footing. One of a few stoves that can burn anything from jet-fuel, white gas, unleaded gas, diesel, kerosene to propane (no alcohol based fuels), and can be used in cold conditions, It can't be beat.
Pros:
  • Fantastic low simmer setting/very efficient on fuel consumption
Cons:
  • a little loud - get the QuietStove Silent MUTER Damper 600 Cap
Best Used for:
  • Backpacking, motorcycle camping, camping
Would recommend: Yes

Nice Multi Fuel Stove

by W., Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on May 3, 2018
It can use canister, white gas without changing nozzle. It is very convenient. I love its green color and pot stand in curve shape which make it compact when packed. The tuner is near to the burner. The fire adjustment is excellent and sensitive without delay. It is a reliable stove overall!

robust workhorse

by Karmann, Verified Owner from Taiwan Written on December 20, 2017
It's structure could use lager pots and offer the powerful heat output which no other single burner stove can compare. Optimus has newer package for their parts kit to prevent the tiny parts lost. You'd better purchase one kit with this stove together and it will serve you many years.
Pros:
  • heavy
Cons:
  • powerful heat output
Best Used for:
  • Camping and outdoor events
Would recommend: Yes

Versatile stove

by Achilles1230, from CA, United States Written on November 13, 2017
Multiple fuels easy to setup. Easy to switch fuels. Sits on any surface and provides you with a stable stovetop. Safe to use by turning the fuel bottle. Gives you a good flame anywhere. Only downside is that it's a bit noisy.
Would recommend: Yes

Great Burn

by Thom J., Verified Owner from IN, United States Written on June 28, 2016
This is the best multi-fuel stove I have used, the only con would be it is a little on the heavy side. If weight is not a factor IMO it's the perfect stove.

Awesome...

by Mike M., Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on May 9, 2016
Great true multi-fuel stove. I have only tried isobutane and Coleman gas so far, but perfect. It is a tad bit heavier than others in this category, but would work just fine backpacking. I like the fact that you do not have to change jets to use different fuels. Some have said that its finicky with isobutane, but not so. It has to be started on a higher setting at first and let warm up for 30 plus seconds before lowering to a simmer.
