Looks modern worth what I paid for. Shout out to the seller was kind enough to include a gas connector and hose ?Came in sooner on the expected date to arrive. I haven't use it yet, i will update when I do.Nice 2 burner propane stove. I am completely satisfied with it and it’s much nicer than anything else that’s under or around the $100 mark. (It was like $80 shipped + taxes)Build quality: top is made of some sort of glass like material. It makes it easy to clean. The rest of the construction is made of stainless while the burner material looks like it’s made of cast iron of some sort. Overall the build quality is above my expectations.Burner: burner has an inner ring and putter ring. The control of it is simple. On “low” heat, only the inner burner is on. I can’t seem to control the inner heat with much finesse but it’s heat output is pretty much minimal. On low-medium heat, the outer rings will turn on. You can control the outer ring’s output from low-medium to nuclear. I’m ok with this. Most my cooking will be on low-medium anyways. I’d say the overall control of flame/heat is average. But considering this stove is $80, I don’t expect it to have the flame control Level/finesse of a $2000 top tier stove. So for $80, I am extremely satisfied with this stove ability to control flame.Cons: it has a built in self igniter. It sucks. I have better luck on tinder than I do with this igniter. It’ll [MAYBE] self ignite the flame 1/10 times, even when I let the gas bleed Out a little before I ignite it. No big deal. I can just use a lighter. Maybe it’ll need a break-in before it’ll work properly? I’ll update if this improves.Other thoughts: I bought this stove because my current stove is an induction stove. And anyone who cooks will know induction sucks. Although it says “outdoor use only,” I will still be using it indoors (it’s ok as long as you have plenty of ventilation). Besides, I’ll prob die from this whole end-of-the-world-coronavirus before I die from breathing in the burnt up propane exhaust. YOLO.They cheapened out on the grate. They should have made grates that would allow us to put smaller pots on it.We ended up using one of the grates that came with our old one (see below) and also use the Webber round grates that you can purchase separately.Also, it uses a LOT of fuel compared to the one that Harbor Freight used to carry (from India. It lasted many years and we're sorry it died). The reason it uses so much fuel it's seemingly made for larger cookware and that's just how it is. Compared to the one we had, it uses almost TWICE as much fuel. We were able to lower the flame a bit by messing with the adjustments underneath, but it's still not nearly as efficient on fuel as the one we had from India.Nevertheless, it doesn't leak, it's easy to clean and it does work. When the electricity goes out we still cook.Regulator/hose (NOT USED)We ended up purchasing a longer regulator/hose because the one that came with it was too short.We never used it so can't comment on it's quality.This product could be great, but was ruined by a couple of poor design choices. The regulator which ships with the unit delivers a flow rate of gas which is COMICALLY too high, which makes it very difficult to use. Additionally, the grill guards have angled supports, as though to cradle a cone-shaped pan bottom, which has to be the worst design decision ever. It makes it impossible to use a medium fry pan. You can only use very large pans (large enough that they extend past the angled sections).It was easy to clean, a good value for the money, however I can’t attest to the durability fully just yet, but it looks like it will last a while!It doesn't come with the right packagethis thing is nice just make sure to get the clamp on the hose is tight so it does not leak after tightening you should not be able to move the hose. This part of it is an engineering flaw it should be flared with a flared nut on the end of it to connect to a REAL propane hose if i have trouble with it leaking ill be doing this myself with the flare tool i have.Its 2 burners for one a small center burner and a large one around that. Boil water no problem couple of minutes on high unless your trying to several gallons at one time but for soup and coffee yep fast heat up.Other thoughts this thing is on plastic feet you may want to get some type of rubber stick on bumpers so it dont slide around. Im actually using this in the house so im going to set up somthing more permanent and cut a slot in the countertop for it to drop in.Size is no slacker its the same width as a full range stove half of the depth and the glass is thick which is what is going to be holding the weight. If your going to do somthing really heavy talk to the seller and see what they think they will reply but only on a weekday.The first one i got was damaged i took pictures of the damage sent them a message with the pics attatched and they sent me a replacement rite away and claimed the insurance from UPSMi esposa quedó encantada con su nueva cocina, fácil de llevar a acampar, fácil de limpiar.BIG unit- the width of our full size stove (2 burners of course not 4). Although it says on the small tag on the hose that it cannot be used indoors, which is contrary to some of the reviews and statements, we believe you can use it indoors, if you exercise enough caution. All propane uses oxygen, as it's not just carbon monoxide that can cause you ill, hence you need a nice fresh air source. In our boat, we use an oxygen sensor and a CO detector. In your home, probably the CO sensor would alleviate concern, and a fresh air source (i.e. open a nearby window for a bit for fresh air). Other than that, there was no manual (not a big deal) and we really like the size and look of the unit, which we use in an emergency when there is no power, for cooking, as well as cooking lobster, woohoo! For the price, it's a very nice unit. Cheers!I ordered it last week and it said it will arrive on Feb-15 but it arrived a couple days early . Unpack , hook up , test it and everything working as it stated . The flame burns very strong compare to the one that I owned before . Excellent product . I give it 5 stars for sure .arrived on time, my husband loves it perfect for our out door kitchen at the lake, heavy duty cook top, easy start, nice look, easy clean top, fits all our needs.Love it. Excellent product, and outstanding price. Use it indoors and out...best product for power outages, and great addition for the BBQ.element pot holder broke. I think its made poorly
