The stove works great. I have used it for a few months now on multiple occasions. I like the flip down handle a lot vs the side bars that fold out. The lid just sits on top it's not a water tight seal incase that's what you are looking for. My only complaint is the stove portion that fits inside the cup is very large. It won't hold the bigger fuel canister inside with it. I have yet to see if a small one will fit.
