SOTO Amicus Stove Igniter River Review

This is a first impression review. Stove with igniter works great, keeps on low heat without any problems. Smooth until full blast. Compact and easy to fold and unfold Legs that snap into place. Worked on a nearly empty canister (Coleman brand) with no problems. Light wind had no effect. The pot easily holds a small pan. My previous flock: primus (no longer produced (A+)), optimus crux lite (a terrible one for several years, of course, does not keep low heat).

Bought without an igniter. It's so well done. I have never used a higher quality gas burner. The gas holes are curved like a lens, just so they all form a triangle into a perfect sharp jet of flame. It can get red-hot or just boil slightly. The mechanics are first-class and smooth-running. With those little steel prongs holding folding handles, he can easily hold large pans and pots. Buy and see what I mean. I look forward to using it every time.

This oven is incredibly small. Ideal for 1-3 people with small pots and pans (>8 inch diameter) or metal mugs. It is not suitable for large pots (4L+) as the support arms are not wide enough to balance them. The support arms are very easy to install and stay secure. It boils water very quickly and cooks vegetables incredibly quickly, even on low power. The heating is easy to control. The instruction manual warns against using the windscreen as the heat it contains is so great that it could…

Improved burner design and internal piezo ignition is a big improvement over older stoves. I have had problems with other ovens, the outer piezoceramic insulator cracked and closed the circuit. The internal design of this model prevents this. Collapsible potholders are simple and durable. It's also a lot lighter and more compact than my old Primus Techno Trail. The feature I like most about butane stoves is that you can cook at a very low flame level, which is essential for cooking things like…

I like the four legs on the burner compared to the three on many other cookers. Beautiful, light and compact. Was a bit disappointed with the pot. Sure it's lightweight, but it has a plastic lid so I couldn't use it over a fire. Maybe I don't need it, but it's good that there is such an opportunity. It looks like it could wrinkle easily, but it's very light, which is a bonus. Not worth the extra $15 in my opinion, but it works well on the stovetop if it's supposed to be your only item. I could…

If you're looking for a quality gas burner, check out this one. Soto is a relatively new company in the US market, but its products are top notch compared to competitors in this market segment. The MSR Rocket2 Pocket Oven is very popular but to be honest I have both and I think this is a higher quality oven. I have many different stoves, I liked the original pocket rocket but you can't find it anymore. I really think it's the best design, love that it has 4 legs instead of 3, it has brass for…

Is this oven worth buying? Well, it depends on what you want to do with it. Whether you're an ultralight backpacker or just need a piping hot stove, this stove is for you. It's $25 cheaper than the MSR Pocket Rocket 2 and works just as well, if not better. SOTO has four support arms instead of three and is just as easy to use as the PR2. The only caveat is that SOTO is slightly louder than SOTO. The noise doesn't bother me at all. If you're traveling long distances and intend to be away for a…
