Lightweight and easy to carry. Folds up to be ultra-compact. It boils water well, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing and comforting time. When using a tall cup, as shown in the third photo, I removed the legs and used it carefully to prevent it from tipping over. I've used it several times, and it's very clean, and I've never had any problems. Includes instruction manual. JTB Traveland For domestic and international use.
