Has had their Pocket Rocket Deluxe for two seasons and loves it; friends light their non-Deluxe stoves off it because its igniter saves hunting for a lighter.

Just got the new Pocket Rocket Deluxe and finds it works really nicely and simmers great; at about 3 oz they think MSR hit a home run so far.
Loves the cold-weather performance of their PocketRocket Deluxe but puts no faith in its piezo igniter at altitude.
Has had lots of stoves, including the PocketRocket 2 and the Deluxe, and the Deluxe would be their choice.
Is 500 miles in on their PR Deluxe and loves it without a problem, though they always carry storm matches.
Watched a friend struggle with a BRS in a breeze and handed them their PR Deluxe; they like how small and light it is.
Likes being lazy with their Pocket Rocket Deluxe: a bit of wind barely affects the flame compared with the BRS, and the built-in piezo has worked even at higher altitudes.
Has a BRS and a PocketRocket Deluxe and recommends the Deluxe if the air is moving at all, since not needing a windscreen is simpler, though it needs a 750 ml pot to nest with a canister.
Got a PocketRocket Deluxe for about 40 euros last year and is very happy with it; compared with the BRS it felt sturdier.
The igniter on their PocketRocket Deluxe stopped working after only about 10 days of use, roughly 20 to 30 lightings.
Bought a PocketRocket Deluxe at REI and used it at Great Basin NP above 7,700 ft in September with no igniter problems.
Picked the PocketRocket Deluxe at REI because the igniter looked sturdier but was not happy with its pot supports and exchanged it for a Windmaster.
Has the PocketRocket Deluxe, Amicus and a Windmaster knockoff and finds the Pocket Rocket the most unstable and the loudest of the three.
Their PocketRocket Deluxe has better temperature control for cooking than the Windmaster, but they have bent its supports many times and repaired it often, though it still works.
The piezo on their MSR PocketRocket Deluxe failed almost immediately.
Has the Windmaster, Amicus and PocketRocket Deluxe and prefers the Deluxe's larger hot spot; the Windmaster beats it in wind but sits close to the pot and packs bulky.
The PocketRocket Deluxe is what they grab for backpacking; it is essentially as good as the Windmaster with three fixed arms you cannot lose.
Their brand-new PocketRocket Deluxe's piezo igniter took 10 to 15 clicks to catch even indoors.
Has had their PocketRocket Deluxe for five years; on the last morning of a recent trip the flame would not rise when they opened the valve.
Their PocketRocket Deluxe works fine after two seasons of use.
