Over-all satisfied!
Have used this stove for a couple of over-nights in warm weather. Worked well with no hitches. The quality could be felt in the materials, probably except for the auto start ceramic holder, time will tell how it would hold. No problem with simmering. Seems to use all the contents of MSR and other brands canister. Easy set up. Highly recommend it!

It's a good one
This is a lightweight stove and easy to carry. Be careful with the tips so make room in your backpack

Good stove, but hard on fuel
I like this stove, especially since it is flight-legal for transport aboard a commercial aircraft - they'll let you take one of these, but not one that runs off of a re-fillable bottle like the whisperlight. It heats quickly and it's worth the extra money to get the autolighter. The only drawback is the fuel consumption. My Whisperlight will run off an equivalent amount of fuel nearly twice as long as the SuperFly, which means that I have to carry more canisters, which then end up in a landfill somewhere.

great little stove
I really like this little and superb light stove. I used it during my last trip in Iceland and it worked really well, even in stormy conditions. The stove works with all different cartridges -thats an extra bonus if you travel to different countries.

Great Little Stove
I used this stove on my entire 2168 mile Appalachian Trail thru-hike. I started in late Feb. and it was really cold. I had no problems getting the stove to cook my meals even on the coldest of nights. Maybe only once did I have to warm the canister before use.I would give it a 5 star rating but it does have a few issues. Being that it's a taller unit, you have to make sure it's on a flat surface, since balance can be an issue. Wind can rob heat from it so cook in a sheltered area away from the wind. Don't do what the other guy did, NO windscreens on canister stoves!Overall it's a great stove, simple to use, light, and maintenance free. Its small enough to fit inside your pot too. The best part is you can use almost every type of fuel canister out there, a big plus when the outfitter one carries one brand fuel.

good piece of gear
Good stove, compact works with numerous propane/butane cartridges. Not the best choice for high altitude and/or extreme cold applications. I would recommend to anyone desiring this type of stove.

A big shot to a big flop
I bought the SuperFly with all of the great things I heard about it in mind, But alas, o my first trip out it failed miserably. I tried to use it to cook breakfast (pancakes) and not only did the flame never get up to its full heat output even after I heated up the fuel tank, but the auto started melted beyond repair when I put a heat shield around it. I was out on a warm couple of days at sea level. These sort of problems should not occur on a $60 stove.
