Have used this on several car camping trips for over a year.  No problems so far.  Seems fairly rugged.  Easy to clean - although I haven't had to deal with any major messes yet.  It's true you don't have very fine control over just how hot the burners are, but I have found that I do have enough control to do some actual cooking without burning food.  This does more than just boil water.  I've never used the more expensive types of camp stoves, so can't really say whether they might be better, but this has worked well enough for me that I can't imagine why I'd want to spend the extra money on a more elaborate grill that might be more fragile.  I'm happy with this one.
