I have not had a chance to use it yet, but I like it. I like the design & I believe it will be very functional.

Was given the entire camp stove set as a gift. Finally decided to fire it up. Would work great as a power generator I suppose. However not much of a grill, too hot in spots and too cold in other spots. Didn't try to boil water or make coffee.

Was gifted this stove. I've used it on long paddling trips, 14 days. It's perfect when there is a lot of dry shore wood. Boils water a bit slower than a single burner camp stove. Don't use wood that is too long. Charged my phone enough to keep taking pictures for a 2 week trip.

Worth every cent. First time use, I used store bought wood for smoking meat(ideal wood) and charged the battery fully in 3 hours from the out of the box 2bars. And for first time using this awesome device, the charge indicator was fluctuating from 1/3 to max charge quit abit, so after one or two more uses I should be able to keep the charge indicator maxed 90% of the time, which just means it will take less than 3 hours to charge the internal battery. It was so easy to start a fire in this thing, that fan is incredible. The heat this gives is off is awesome also. You guy's really hit a home run with this.

Overall functions as expected. Transportation of kit is lacking. If possible I'd like to see the whole coffee press fit inside the base along with the serving bowl.

As a mountaineer and seasoned outdoorsman this is the best ever. I've spent so much on isobutane fuel it's crazy, I broke down and bought a BioLite complete set with grill.. It does everything I need including charging a 24000mah lithium battery in a about 6 hours. I probably have more than 600 burn hours on this in 2 months since I bought it with no issues or anything. Hands down the greatest outdoor tool!

If you're thinking about getting this do it now and pay for upgraded shipping to the east coast. Because shipping took two weeks after FedEx received it. Just in case you need it for a trip. Be aware that shipping to New England is brutally slow. I would've upgraded but I'm a cheapo. On to the review. One of my biggest gripes with the original one was how finicky it was. No matter the fuel it was always a bit of a pain. Either smokey or burned too fast. They seem to have fixed that completely. I also love that it is a battery pack so the thermoelectric is being put to use even if I don't have a USB connected. It should have a USB C but A works fine with adapters. The LED light was gimmicky until I used it. Really necessary great accessory. So NOT a gimmick, I stand corrected. Power output seems much stronger than my old one, by at least two times I think. Get it, it's fun and a great stove. Like I said if you need it fast spring for upgraded shipping or be patient if you're in New England.

I buyed the CS2+ complete kit. If you are not a lightwave freak, and you did not to carry it for a long time, it is very useful. Deterred by the high price finally got it, and it works as by the manufacturer described. After ten time use, I did not yet reload the power supply. It is reloaded by heat and use - but I did not used it simultaneously as powersuply for other devices, but this works too. There are cheaper ways to heat up and to make coffee, but if you are not into lightweight and don't matter to carry the device, it is absolutely recommended. The quality and processing is very well. It is perfect for a basecamp for cooking or as a small campfire. I had some problems with the grill - grime/smut on the sausages, but I am working on that issue. The frenchpress is perfect!
