I've had my Svea for 31 years. Replaced the needle etc a few years back only because I thought it was time. The stove always has worked, even under tough conditions. I use it approximately 20 times a year. The stove gets a lot of use in the Adirondacks both summer and winter and always performs. I recommend the optional pressure pump. The pump only saves priming the cup by hand. You do have to get used to starting this stove, and this is a stove you should never operate near anything flammable.
