Prices were checked on 16 Oct 2026 and change often. NZ/AU retailer prices include GST. AliExpress prices are as listed on the date checked; GST/import charges and shipping may be added at checkout. Items marked unverified snapshot come from a search index because the retailer blocked our check. No affiliate links.

Gaps: Dropped: Gasmate Travel Mate II (Anaconda page sits behind a queue wall, so the price could not be checked) and Torpedo7 Rapid Boil set (URL now 404). NZ budget stoves are now covered by Bunnings NZ (Gasmate).

AliExpress?

AliExpress listings change hourly and prices vary by seller, variant and shipping option. We checked AliExpress search pages (they load and show NZD prices), and verified the individual listings shown above on the check date, but prices vary by variant and promo and may be personalised. Risks: specs (litres, L/min, Ah) are often overstated; warranty claims mean shipping back to China; delivery to NZ/AU usually takes 1-4 weeks; 12V/240V gear may lack RCM (AU) or NZ electrical approval; GST/import charges and shipping may be added at checkout. Fine for passive items (bags, strip lights). Be wary of fridges, compressors and lithium batteries.
