  I had the previous one with the wires at the bottom for years, and when I eventually broke it (to be honest), I got this one. Although I was put off by the plastic because I don't like change, I got used to it quickly. I applied a bit of silicone to the thread at the bottom because I suspected from the start the difficulty in screwing and unscrewing, and since then I haven't encountered any issues. The gas mechanism closes with a little pressure. It needs to be enough so that you don't smell the gas (which necessarily has fragrances for exactly this reason); if it gets dirty from what you spill on it, like I did, don't close the gas completely (because you want positive pressure to avoid clogging the nozzle) and run it under the kitchen faucet to get rid of the dirt. Then, with the nozzle facing down, close the valve and blow into it to unclog it so you don't have to wait for it to dry. This way, you'll also avoid the "flame adjustment" that most people mention. I, on the other hand, am closing in on 8 years with this and I see the plastic winning me over in longevity.

  We bought it 1 month ago and its use is daily just to heat 1 cup of water for the baby's bottle. After this use, the switch has broken, resulting in a very large fire with a risk of injury. Also, changing the bottle is very difficult, as it tightens and doesn't come out at all. My parents have the same problem with its use only for Greek coffee 2 times a day.

  Although it seems well-made and offers easy insertion of the bottle, removing it when it's empty is very difficult as it gets stuck.

  Hardworking worker for 11 years now without any problem. If you misuse it like most people with negative reviews obviously it will break. If you tighten the knob obviously the needle valve will break and it will draw air, causing instability in the flame. For those who don't feel comfortable with basic use, they should get something more foolproof. I want to emphasize that I never bought original bottles. I use whatever is cheaper in the market.

  Sometimes, certain products on skroutz receive unjustified criticism because no one bothers to evaluate something so simple that just works. So, only negative reviews remain, which is quite reasonable since something went wrong and someone needs to hear about it. :)
  This particular product is one of those.
  It was not purchased online.
  If I remember correctly, it is from a supermarket and was not even purchased by me, but by my parents at least 5 years ago, if not 10 years ago.
  At some point, they developed a fear of gas appliances, so since my kitchen did not have a small eye, I "plunged" it in.
  Except for some minor instability that I have noticed in the burner in combination with very small pots, it is excellent.
  I imagine you can use a pair of pliers to close and open the four metal legs that the pot rests on and fix it, but personally, I am careful and do not bother with it.
  For the above reason, it loses one star.
  Otherwise, it has a metal body with a plastic lid that tightens, it takes generic blue bottles for about 1 euro (for me, who is not a big coffee drinker, they last almost 1 month), it has a good fastening and sealing of the bottle, no gas smell, and an excellent flame from very low to maximum intensity.
  I know it's not sexy and it looks like the classic gas stove that we have all seen construction workers use for their coffee, but believe me, compared to the chic elgreco of the same company, it does the same things.
  I never understood the need for the double and triple prices that the latter asks for, plus the fact that you marry them for the spare bottle that costs more than a dollar...

  Verified purchase

  I bought the small cabinet from a well-known supermarket chain. I have already changed 4 small cabinets because they break down very easily and the knob stops turning. The packaging states a 10-year warranty. I contacted the manufacturer, they asked me to send the small cabinet by courier for inspection and after receiving it, they contacted me and refused the warranty, instead blaming me! Unacceptable product and customer service, I will not buy it again, I should have stopped after the 2nd or at most the 3rd purchase.

  After four months, the golden flame fluctuates and has become particularly dangerous. Also, many times it was not possible to open the lid

  Bought 3 months ago...used for coffee roasting...at home.
  It turned out to be bad...and besides that, it was considered dangerous.
  The flame was fluctuating on its own,
  and in the end, it didn't pierce the capsules...which we always used from the company.

  I have never seen such a difficult-to-use product when it comes to changing the cartridge. It wouldn't open at all! I thought I was going to throw it away, but I managed to save it.

  I had bought it 4 years ago (to replace the Thermogas FKP90 because I had lost its screw base) quality metal materials flawless flame I still have it but with a broken base after 3 years due to poor design. I call the dealership and for some reason they didn't give me the accessory because it wasn't available as a spare part code and they didn't even want to send me another base at a cost so I could continue using it. The problem was solved when I called Camper Gaz and they sent me the screw base from Thermogas FKP90 at no cost for a product that I have been using since 2009 as a student and I will continue to use for a LONG TIME STILL......... I am thinking of sending them back the Campingaz Bleuet G 206 base out of logic.

  I bought it to replace the Thermogas FKP90 that broke after about 3-4 years (https://www.skroutz.gr/s/14133412/Thermogas-FKP90.html). The Campingaz clearly has better quality materials (as seen from its weight), greater safety (it screws and locks at the end, so you can't screw it too little or too much), and it is very easy to adjust to low heat. It uses the classic small gas canister that we find in supermarkets for less than 1 euro.

  Update
  ----------

  After 8.5 months, it seems to have a problem. Even when I tighten it all the way, it leaks gas, the flame flickers, and it generally seems very dangerous. I replaced it with an El Greco. Although it seemed to have better quality materials, from the 5-6 gas canisters, it didn't screw as well.
