Excellent
This is the basic, entry-level, two burner stove from Coleman. It arrived quickly and was packaged well. I said it up and checked both burners and they both worked perfectly. I am very happy with my purchase.

NEGATIVE REVIEW
This Colman stove out of the box was defective. The burners were bent at a angle. Mounted in a bent damaged frame as well being scratch and dented. POOR quality control. Walmart should reimburse me for selling this product.

    Simple, straightforward stove! Works great!
    We are a family brand new to camping. I wasn't even sure if this would be a necessary item for our camping gear but I'm SO glad I bought it! I've never used propane anything before so I was kind of intimidated but it was very easy to use, simple to clean and store, and didn't take up much space. We used it a lot! Put a cast iron griddle or pan on top and it got used for pancakes, eggs. bacon/sausage, sloppy joes- turned camp into a home away from home. :-) Nice and simple.

    Not my first Coleman stove, but the easiest to use
    It was so easy to setup and use. The stove was on sale and it is great quality. We cooked w/out power (storms) for a couple of days and it was just like camping in our younger days. Delivery was on time and in good condition.

    Good burner- bad lid
    Works super well, but wow- is this metal dinky! The lid was bent and the latch was broken upon purchase. If I could, just on those two reasons- I'd return it. I foresee the lid completely falling off.

    All Time Great
    So I don't write reviews often but let's face it. This camp stove has been time tested and true to the nature of the word Camping since my first experience as a kid. After not having one for years, I grabbed one a few years back and love it. As times change Colman has kept up, but kept it simple. Keeps working perfectly and will be in full affect this summer up in big bear. We camp the old fashioned way, and looking forward to relaxing by the lake. We tried several different products before going back to what we know works. Like any product, things can get damaged in shipping or by misuse. I'm not sure which Gen mine is but if you know your stuff, you know it works. I only wish it would help me catch more fish! But that's another story! LOL We' try to get some pictures this time if we're not to busy having fun! Thanks Colman

    Traditional quality
    I bought this to replace an older model that was worn out. This one is just as quality as I expected from Coleman! I have been using Coleman products since the 1970's and they have never failed me. This unit is just as good as the older models. Nicer details like the latch and built in carry handle are welcome. I was slightly bummed that the propane bottle connection is redesigned only because my old converter hose (to connect a larger tank) doesn't fit; however it was just a little bummer because the new design connection is much better: more secure, easier to connect and doesn't leak at all, so I'm still happy with it! Worthwhile upgrade! The high output burners are a huge improvement! This thing boils water faster than my gas stove at home!!

    I haven't actually had a chance to use this yet. Walmart keeps reminding me to leave a review though so here it is. I gave it 4 stars for now, but that may change once we use it. When we took the stove out of the box, the lid is broken. One bracket was bent and the lid wasn't attached at that point. Thankfully my husband fixed it easily, but with a name brand like Coleman I didn't expect to have to fix an item before we could even use it. We plan to use this as soon as it isn't winter in Ohio anymore so I will update my review once we actually put it to use. Just be warned the lid may not be properly attached, but with a simple multitool and a couple minutes of time, you should be able to fix it.

    Damaged item
    Received in 2 days but the item was damaged. The lid had to be pried open and the latch to hold the stove closed was broken and missing. No easy repair because the latch is riveted on. Possibly a return that got recycled and sent out again. Not happy.

    Coleman Camp Stove Rules!
    This is the classic Coleman Camp Stove that all the other stoves wish they were. Other brands try to 'improve' it with gimmicks that just fail. The Coleman Camp Stove has been around since I was a kid and I am 71 now. I went with the propane instead of the alcohol so there is no danger of spilling. I also got the hose adapter so I can carry a large tank ( it's cheaper than the little screw on tanks).

    A must have for every home
    A very good stove to have for all occasions besides just camping. Our electric goes out in winter & summer storms and has been very useful to cook & heat up different foods or liquids on. A very safe stove & every home should have one.

    Crap product
    Very thin metal. Super cheap. Stove was warped on arrival even after being packed very well. Will not sit flat on a table and probably be a real pain cooking. So much for trying to save a few bucks. Will be returning.

    Great for camping, but I'm using it when my power goes out during winter storms to have a way to cook my food. Very inexpensive way to be ready for such emergencies. My power was out 3 days recently and couldn't prepare my food. Problem solved.

    The benchmark for propane stoves
    I have owned four of these over the years and used them to the point of destruction, I only replaced them as the rust took hold after thousands of uses. Not the cheapest of propane stoves, but most definitely the best made.

    Overall good
    It did the job. While I like that Coleman has been around for years, the durability wasn't up to its name. It felt cheap and flimsy.. the side wind guards have a pin you have to squeeze that is hard and one of the wings is detached. I thought once you attach it, that it would stay in place but it keeps coming off. Packing it was simple and it has a built in carry handle which I like. The knobs for heating are easy to use and control the heat with. Its also easy to keep clean.

    Easy to control flow
    Despite negative feedback stating it was difficult to control the outflow of propane/flame strength, I did not experience this at all. It was easy to get a kettle of water to quick boil, then simmer to keep warm. Also cooked eggs in cast iron on low. Dials turn smoothly. Easy to ignite. Happy with purchase.

    Seller issue
    I imagine the stove will be great, as the internet has assured me it will be. HOWEVER, the stove we received from Walmart has one burner that is bent fairly significantly to the side. I am just tired of having to box stuff up and send it back. How much time can we take out of our lives to return things? So I may just live with the imperfection...

    Works well for now, but it's junk.
    The stove works well, but I doubt it will last. Compared to my previous Coleman stove which was the same model as this but decades older, this is a piece of junk. The right burner already can't be removed for cleaning. When you turn it it just spins. The other burner comes off just fine. The top is really flimsy. In fact, it's so flimsy, that it came from the factory bent. I would not buy another one of these. When this one dies, I'll get something else.

    It's a nice stove for basic cooking.
    I've only used it twice so far but it did a fine job of cooking. The second time for some reason it wouldn't let the propane come to the burners so that I could light it. I checked the connections, they seemed fine. I disassembled it and reconnected everything and it still wouldn't light. Third try it worked just fine. I'll need to Google the possible reason for this glitch.
