Yeah had one for 14 years, great stove
I ran nothing but unleaded through it until about 3 years ago, never had a problem if I gave the fuel pipe a good clean every spring. MSR told me when I bought it that prolonged use of auto petrol would eventually destroy it from the inside out, they mentioned a leak appearing but so far so good. I switched to Coleman fuel and more recently Aspen 4T.
Reliable, good in cold weather and plenty of fuel options.

Mines 18 now. Completely field maintainable. Mines mostly been run on paraffin.
No problems at all. Get it

I have the universal and it's unbeatable in my opinion. I've ran it on paraffin, gas and unleaded with no problems. I even bought an adapter so it can be used with them tall cheap gas canisters that fit in them briefcase stoves just in case. I have actually used them more than any other fuel recently as I got tons of it cheap.

This is the one I bought.
I've had mine for 13 years and run on unleaded petrol only. Never had a problem (except singeing the hair on the back of my hand every time I light the priming cup).
It does only have 3 heat settings though - boil, raging inferno, and off.....
Fantastic stove in my opinion!

i've had one for 15 odd years and, apart from breaking the plastic pump (my fault, not the design), it has been bomb proof. But yes, it is really only designed for boiling water very fast, there is no fine tune on the flame. Either full-on roaring or off!
Which pump are you guys using? I'm now using the latest pump and I'm getting half decent flame control. Not a simmer but more gentle boil as a minimum.
Had my whisperlight int for longer then I dare think!! It's been everywhere with me and never let me down it's had its moments where it's been a bugger to get going but that's been my fault no fault of the stove....
Hadn't thought about a new pump but now I think of it this one is getting a bit worn now...mmm slightly more control would be great.

I bought a replacement in Chamonix about 4 years ago, I was still using the original all plastic one until I snapped it trying to open the bottle. I still get either on, raging inferno or off
This thread couldn't have come along at a better time. I'm looking to replace my now decrepit Coleman Alpine stove (love that thing but it's always been fickle at lower temps). I've been looking at the Whisperlite for ages and this has pretty much made my mind up for me! Thanks!
Cheers guys, just went out and bought one £75 with a 30foz fuel bottle very pleased
Cheers for the input.
Cheers for the input.
the legs can be a pain to open , really stiff sorta. also the new one the Universal has gas cartridge capability, and newer legs.
Mines an old friend....nearly got shut .....glad I haven't, but the pump isn't what it was....
