One of the best features is that it can be used with a canister of isobutane or propane, making it a multi-functional small cooker. It's easy to simmer on isobutane or propane and burns all fuel types at a reasonable level, however it is a little slower than some other stoves when using white gas.

The instructions for the Hydra are written in English, but they were clearly not written by native users of the language. The instructions caution against the use of certain kinds of lighter fluids, which if mistaken for what is actually intended can result in an accident that could result in Kovea in lots of legal hot water.
