Has anyone got one of these, and what are your comments on it?

I've used one of these for around four years now and must say that overall it is a good all round cooker. It is a bit of a pain to set up but as we generally don't go camping for anything less than 4 nights, it isn't too much of a problem to us. The Griddle can be a right pain in the a*$! to clean (especially if you've cooked some "saucy" food) but it is non stick to a point that if it is wiped down whilst warm it cleans up reasonably well. A big tip - do NOT use the griddle with the burners on full; you will find out how sticky non stick can be. Luckily this happened to me at home so I was able to put the griddle in the dishwasher.

Overall we are happy with the cooker and as yet have had no real issues with it (none that weren't of our own doing anyway!!  )

 I bought one with the bag also,

It take's me about 20 minutes to put it together and im not bad at it these days,

I must admit I never use the hot plate, as it’s too much trouble to clean, I tend to use a griddle pan instead,

So would I buy it again? In a word NO but I also wouldn't rush to change it either, I would probably go for a Coleman duel fuel instead as you have no gas bottle to drag around.

Hope this helps. 

Overall then it's ok, but griddle is a bit crap to clean and fiddly to set up

back to the drawing board i think....!

I got one a couple of years ago from e bay for around £20. I think the cooker itself is great but the legs and shelf are a pain to put together. Also the side "windbreaks" that double as shelves arent very good . I like using the griddle but as others have said its hard to clean and you have to place the special tray underneath with water in it....all a faff!  easier to use a pan!

I decided to ditch the legs this year and buy a stand (with more shelves) which I suppose defeats the whole object , but as I say the set up of the shelf especially was a right pain with fiddly wing nuts that you have to line up etc. I wish now I had got the cooker with a standard grill instead!

We've got one and use it all the time on holiday. We use the griddle more than the rings to be honest.

We really like ours and find it no bother at all.

We got one last year.

agreed its fiddly to put the legs and rack on but otherwise a sturdy piece of kit.

the griddle is a complete pig to clean but when cooking for a few its got a nice large cooking area. not overally impresses with the hobs, they are a bit flimsy but you get used to it.

my own personal opinion is its a nice bit of kit and glad i bought it. not to everyones tastes i know and expect that.

we did buy a suitcase stove as well to put pans on when the griddle was in use but found that carefully putting a pan on the griddle ( i know thats not what to do) worked.
