Campingaz 400S Camping Stove, Portable Two Burner Gas Cooker with Windshield, 4400 Watt

Use outside our motor home for cooking on in addition to a griddle. Performs well but you can’t turn the gas down low enough to simmer.

Fits perfectly on our Vango “kitchen” top.Very easy to set up & use.Control of the gas could be better, it’s tricky to get a low setting without turning the gas off.Our one comes with a grill setting but we don’t have a grill. They’re obviously cutting costs by using the same body on several models.A small tip, the edges become quite hot after a while so if you’re going to be using one ring for a longer period, e.g. to boil potatoes, & then heat something else up for a shorter time on the other ring, place the first pan on the ring to the left so the edges closer to the ignition switch don’t heat up as much.Boils water quickly & takes two large pans quite comfortably so overall, a good buy.

Very pleased with this product and fast delivery

CampingGaz clearly put all their effort into the burners, which are awesome, however the overall build quality is so bad.The unit feels flimsy. The one hinge is a really bad design and wouldn't take much for it to break. It also has to be lifted and locked manually.The lock is awful, again flimsy and when you lock it the top pushes down over the base, rendering the lock useless and it just rattles loose.And to top it all off, after first use to test it, I closed the lid, and lifted it by the handle, which snapped off I as placed it down.For a top brand like this, I expected so much better. Returned for a refund.

The burners are in perfect working order, but the carrying handle is very fragile and should be more resistant.

Bought to ensure we have a cooking facility during an electricity cut

There are some good ideas that have been incorporated, but alas it has been built to a budget, cheap on at that. The only redeeming feature of this stove is the pan supports (partly) and the feet. The pan supports provide good wind protection allowing reasonable control. However they stain readily because they get hot. The turbo burners, more power less gas so French in flare rather than form. The two burners are meant to produce the same output but they don't. To create the vortex effect they have to get hot to maximise the heat output. They take energy to get hot, and take quite a while to cool down. The burners are large for a camping gas stove, but they have small holes that can easily get blocked. Also they rust. Careful if you have long hair because igniting the burners results in a whoosh of flame. The left burner is more difficult to ignite. Have a lighter to hand. The lid is cheap, flimsy, the hinges badly riveted as goes for the handle with rattles side to side, and the lid stay is so flimsy. The stove gets incredibly hot especially the underside. Be careful not to burn yourself if you need to use the igniter switch. It is not a budget stove and I would have expected better.

Connected gas bottle and checked all ok. When turning knob to ignite flames started shooting out of the knob by ignition switch. Luckily I didn't burn my hand. Have started a return. Poor quality control and should be better regulated.
