Mimer Stove

Does what you would expect.

Very stable, sturdy and very good value for money.

EDIT after stove replaced: Contacted Primus online about the fault. They responded immediately -- then redirected me to the local Primus agent, who replaced the stove immediately. So customer service was excellent. I tested the new stove with the soapy water test (see orig review below). NO leaks when valve is shut off tight. The original stove must have had manufacturing debris inside or a poor valve seat. Interestingly, there is an immediate slow gas flow if the control valve is moved away from off tight just the slightest amount (1mm or less). This must be the nature of the needle valve. There is no hysteresis. So be careful to ensure the valve is kept shut off very firmly whenever a canister is attached. The new stove is now on long-term test with me weighing the stove and canister every few days to ensure the gas weight doesn't change. But seems good. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Original review below - (Placed here so I could upload a video to show Primus). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unfortunately the brand new product is faulty - straight out of the box. Tested the stove once by attaching a new canister and lighting up. All good. Good burning operation and couldn't hear any leaks. Turned it off. Then put it aside in my van ready for my next trip. When I checked it 2 months later, the canister felt really light! It had leaked. Weighed it. Then rechecked the weight daily. The stove was losing about 6g of gas per day. ~40g per week. Hence the draining of the new canister. I rechecked the stove operation. All good, then turned it off firmly and repeated the weight experiment. Same daily rate of gas loss. I then did some experiments applying soapy water around the stove/canister interface. No leak. Then repeated the soapy water experiment on the output of the main control valve -- when it was turned off. The attached video shows the result. A small gas leak, from the output of the main valve, with the valve firmly off. It's now past 30 days, so I must contact the Manufacturer/Supplier.

Still going strong. A great stove.

Absolutely fantastic stove, best ive used yet...already a vintage primus user i was hoping this stove would live up to the older ones, and i can say withhand on heart, this stove is the best i own in my collection, fantastic design/quality...nice large sitting area for any pot or mess cup/tin, rapid boils and chucks out flames like a jet engine would!( Seriously quick boiling stove)! And for the price! Its a no brainer, best stove for the money bar none, and will out preform many above in higher price brackets! Will/would recommend..

It was amazing. Hot coffee in a couple of minutes, so quick!! If you’re travelling get one!!

Just be aware it doesn’t come with the gas bottle which is not very clear from the images. I’m actually going to return it.

No gas catridge. The picture is deceptive.
