Best cooking burner I've ever used

I ordered this burner specifically for sous vide meat but ended up using it for everything. It is great for cooking, lighting fires and wood stoves, soldering pipes and launching fireworks. It fires every time the trigger is first pulled and the flame setting is precise. It also works with multiple fuels. It can burn way hotter than any other blowtorch or blowtorch I've ever used. I am very happy with it. Pros: Incredibly hot flame for searing food Multi-fuel compatible Cons: None yet

Pros
  • Pressure adjustable for stable operation with instant tilting or flipping
Cons
  • New competition has arrived

Wow, big change of heart!

Disappointing! It takes 3 to 15 clicks of the igniter to light this thing. I assumed it was a good product at this price point and worked as advertised but apparently it doesn't. If you buy it expecting it to work well, you will be disappointed. It's been a month now and it takes 20-30 clicks to ignite. The thing is useless! Okay, big change of heart! I couldn't understand how many reviews liked it and I didn't. So I decided to return it and Revain offered to send a replacement. It seemed…

Pros
  • Instant on/off igniter with easy one hand operation
Cons
  • Crumpled

Failed and turned into an incendiary bomb leaving me with burns.

Bought about 10 months ago. Today the PLASTIC failed right under the trigger. This sent a ball of fire through the gap and engulfed all and half of my arm. I have 2nd degree burns and am cared for by great doctors and nurses in the ER. 4 inch blister combined with burning pain in nerves. does. Was it good for the caramelization? It was. It didn't work and sent a ball of fire down the middle of my forearm? And so it was. As a bonus, I have burns and blisters. And all I saw was my hand and my…

Pros
  • Locking button keeps flashlight on for fingerless use
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Bernzomatic voids warranty

Works great while it lasts. Ignitor came out last week, I bought it in July 2017. I use it professionally, it comes out maybe once or twice a week. I called bernzomatic and tried to clean it with their technology. The problem is not resolved, warranty service is denied. They tell me I have to deal with Amazon, Amazon says I have to deal with Bernzomatik. Right on their website it says this is a lifetime guarantee and service is available from any Bernzomatic dealer or by phone on 1800. We told…

Pros
  • Die-cast aluminum body for durability
Cons
  • Large and bulky

This is the second Bernzomatic burner of this type that I own. This new model generates a lot more heat than my first one. If you've ever had a vortex flame burner, you'll never go back to the tip of a pencil. You can turn off the faucet so you can still reach the tip of the pencil, but you can raise it up for some serious heat and soldering. If you try this with cheap torches you will blow out the flame long before you have such a flame. There were several criticisms that it was not easy to…

Pros
  • Automatic start/stop ignition starts easily and extinguishes flame
Cons
  • No instructions
