The people that have them seem to love them.
My thoughts are they would be better suited for home use than vehicle based travel.
They are quite expensive also.

Not a fan of the sitting - coffee table height. It seems like that is the only way it comes. As Motoz said they are expensive.

I have one and I find it useful when matched with the SP couches that I also have. My setup allows for the family to sit and watch movies projected on a screen and inside our Land Lock tent. Table is used for snacks, small electronics like iPhones, and the projector.
Although I haven’t used the table for cooking, I do like the option to insert a small stove or grill. Or even the storage containers.

I would rather use a regular IGT frame/inserts. Not sure you gain anything with that table, but haven't used one.
For me, the Slim way exceeded my value tipping point. 475 bucks for a pared down frame left a bad taste in my mouth. I have a TON of SP stuff, and I've paid out some bucks as a SP fanboy, and I value their design prowess, but for the Slim, I saw nothing I couldn't replicate with some aluminum angle iron for pennies on their dollar.
Wouldn't mind having one, but not for that kind of coin.

Moosejaw, backcounty and campsaver are having sales on various snow peak gear right now. I picked up a 'my table' for less than $100. I need to finish my build before I buy much more as it all depends on storage. Have an IGT4, corner table, long extension, adjustable legs, baja, cutting board knife, oven. Need to get double bbq for oven.
I read through some initial reviews of the new Grill burner GS-355 but was wondering if people are using it consistently. I would like to use charcoal more but the west has burn bans almost all summer. Does the grill get hot enough? Is it enough grill space? Without a top does it cook meat consitently? Only 7k btu burner. Just the cast iron grill insert is $100 so it actually seems a decent price. Only seen it on Snow Peak website for purchase.
I have used a weber Q1000 on the trails few times and it is an amazing grill but very large to transport. I even use a Q1200 at home when just cooking for the wife and I.

I went back and found the invoice for what I paid for the IGT Slim. At the time, I paid $350 and it was fairly new on the market. However, it was in Japan. I’ve seen Snow Peak products sometimes change their price point and I don’t understand why they increase it even more in US. Another item I saw increase in price point is the single gas grill. The customs fee is that much to have it imported? I doubt it and it sucks that it goes up and not down unless there is huge sale.

We will probably see more items now that the fire pits are saturated. I watched that Drifta video where they mentioned that they are looking for other items to make because of the market saturation.
