New & Improved

Rating:*****
This is an improved design on the old standard. The newly designed valve adds flame control especially when simmering. The plastic material is just as substantial as aluminum, used by other manufacturers, only lighter. Good pump seal. Needs occasional lubrication.

*Better for use on stoves with newer fuel line catch arms so the valve control knob can turn unimpeded.

Good pump... but it is all plastic

Rating:****
Good stove pump... I have never had a probem with it untill I took it apart and when I put it back together, I over tightened it, and cracked the plastic.

Cheap to replace, I use it with my Whisper lite.

Nifty!

Rating:*****
They aren't that expensive. It will easily fit in the same bag with the stove. Buy one; if you break the first just swap it out and fix the first one when you get back home.

Pumps Good

I've broke two MSR pumps. This new one is going strong. It fits my old MSR XGK stove fine.

Negative Reviews:

good stoves but terrible pumps

Rating:*
MSR has always made great lightweight stoves but have made terrible pumps. I have been through three generations of pumps. The first generation came apart on a winter trip scattered fuel everywhere and set the snow on fire. Tabs holding the pump handle broke off. The second generation also breaks tabs but at least it didn't set me on fire. It also simmered well. The third generation (shown here) switched to a rubber cup instead of leather so it siezes in hot desert weather. You have to oil it often. The check valves fail easily. It will not simmer. Nor does it turn off properly leaving the stove burning at a low level. You have to blow it out to be sure. It also has weak plastic threads that strip easy. It no longer has an O ring on the bottle so it will eventually leak in your pack. The second generation pump was the best of a bad lot but this new one is worthless.

This won't help you cook

Rating:*
This is the worst way to get fuel to your stove. You might try like I did and bend the wind screen up around into a bowl and try to cook over a bowl of gas. works better. I tried the pump on a whistperlite international in my yard no problem. When I tried pumping on my hike the pump felt lose so I checked it out and found that the pump o-ring had expanded and fell off the pump handle. I think that the altitude made it expand. I tried for about an hour to get it working and all I got was cold and discouraged. Maybe at sea level, but not for any real climbing. I was depending on my stove to melt snow for water and to heat up dinner and breakfast. Luckly I had enough water already.

MSR will replace your pump for [$]

Rating:*
I love the MSR Wisperlite stove, when the ears broke off my pump it still worked, but the plunger kept falling out. MSR told me it was out of warranty, but offered this replacement pump for[$]. I think they recognize that there is a problem here.

Serves its purpose, but does not last

Rating:***
My MSR WhisperLite stove has lasted over a decade, has been through extremely harsh conditions,and has performed admirably...I've had to replace the pump, however, multiple times. The pump's light weight plastic design is okay as a weight saving measure and it works great brand new, but the pump's issues with long-term durability and constant need for maintenance have always been the WhisperLite's Achilles heel. That being said, I still prefer the WhisperLite to any other stove.

Great performance, until it breaks

Rating:***
Great stove, except when I took it apart to clean it and over-tightened the fuel knob and cracked the plastic. Faulty design. I noticed someone else did the same thing. Now I have to buy a new pump after I just purchased the "maintenance kit"; it's almost cheaper to buy a new stove.
