Dave's Review of Soto Compact Foldable Stove
I'm upgrading from two Etekcity units. Both failed in less than one season. The first had a failed igniter, both had issue will severely binding pot stand legs. That's my reference point. That said, this unit seems very well made and engineered from the fuel tank seal to leg mechanisms. It is noticeably heavier than the relatively inexpensive units it's replacing. Good flame control and lights quickly. Flame is even and seems to burn hotter and more efficient than my old units. It comes in a really nice canvas case that I'm using to store my headlamp (the case is to bulky for my Stanley cook kit). I have no doubt this stove will serve me well for many yrs.
Pros:
- Nice Flame
- Sturdy, non-binding pot stand legs
- Well engineered fuel can seal.
Cons:
- For oz cutters, weight may be an issue
Best Used for:
- Car Camping
- Motorcycle Camping
- Day/Weekend Hikes
- Through Hikes for those not obsessed with weight.
Would Recommend:
Yes
