Model overview based on user reviews
The OPTIMUS Crux camping stove is praised for being very powerful, capable of bringing a liter of water to a boil in just 2 minutes and 15 seconds. It is also noted for its lightweight and compact design, making it easy to pack with a C500 cylinder into an Optimus TERRA WEEKEND pot. However, some users have experienced issues with the product's durability, such as the threaded ring detaching from the burner body, suggesting potential quality control concerns. Additionally, there is feedback about the stove's inability to maintain a low flame, which limits its use to boiling rather than cooking. Despite these issues, the model is generally liked for its compactness and efficiency.
Pros
Cons
Very compact and lightweight Didn't understand. Am I unlucky or is this a design feature? But there is NO small fire. You turn the adjustment, but it immediately goes out. It's boiling vigorously. Can't cook, just boil use OPTIMUS Crux less than month |
Think for yourself, decide for yourself. I'm giving mine away tomorrow. And I'll probably take the SOLEMA one for myself. Very powerful. Brings a liter of water to a boil in 2 minutes and 15 seconds. Light and compact. Together with the C500 cylinder, it fits compactly into the Optimus TERRA WEEKEND pot. Ten days after purchase, the burner broke! The threaded ring connecting the burner to the gas canister detached from the body. Then it turned out that it (the ring) had been poorly pressed into the burner's body. It was sticking out about one and a half millimeters from the body. So, be careful when purchasing. Compare how it looks in official photos. Otherwise, the Chinese are dozing off at the machines...  Pavel: use OPTIMUS Crux week |
