84% appreciated the durable construction
I accidentally ran over my Windboiler with a car and it was flung against a fence. The wind screen is somewhat bent but the fuel canister took most of the damage. However, my stove still functions flawlessly.
The stove has a compact nesting design and is incredibly fuel efficient. It heats up fast and never fails to perform.
The Windburner exudes legendary MSR quality, which is a testament to its durability.
During our camping trip, the product performed flawlessly in windy conditions.

I purchased the MSR Windurner after a lot of research and hand-wringing over the cost. I was convinced by the reviews here and the features of the product such as light weight, packability, ease of use, and reliability in windy/cold conditions.

67% praised the flame control
I discovered that the MSR Windburner has a specific fire pattern with 3 nickel-sized bright spots, which are likely the gas outlets. By pointing the igniter directly at these spots, the fire starts 10 out of 10 times.
This stove is safer to use in a vestibule if conditions outside are really bad since there is no open flame.
This stove is excellent in windy conditions and the MSR radiant heat technology does not blow out, unlike other stoves I have used in the past.
Windburner boils water just fine.
77% liked the portable design

In heavy winds and cold temperatures, this product performs the best.
The device is compact, relatively light, uses little gas and can't be extinguished by gusty wind.
This product performs well in heavy winds and cold temperatures, and is weather resistant. It is better than jetboil and I recommend it for outdoor activities.

The MSRP windboiler performs better in windy conditions compared to the Jetboil. It keeps chugging along while the Jetboil struggles to stay lit.
The Windburner is windproof, so I never have to worry about the wind while using it.
The MSR stove is more resistant to wind than the jetboil stove and keeps chugging along while the jetboil struggles to stay lit.
