Pros & Cons
Pros
The minwax gel is my absolute favorite. It mixes easily. It clean easily and completely with cheap gasoline or mineral spirits. Easy to apply, my cabinets are 40 years old and i did very little sanding only to small knicks.
Minwax gel stain is always consistent in quality and very easy to use.
Cons
Gel stain is very sticky and difficult to apply. You have to rub it in very quickly or you will get an uneven first coat. Takes forever to dry and is very difficult to remove from wood. More likely a wood issue than a stain issue.
Amazon sells and ships expired items. Absolutely horrific. Consistency is like 10 week expired milk. Had a very red hue.

Quality
Minwax gel stain is always consistent in quality and very easy to use.
I stained my door without issues,love the color and quality of the stain, highly recommend
I bought this gel stain to use on the door since it had the wood pattern engrained in it.
I used a brush to apply it then i used another brush to wipe it off after about 30-60 seconds.
Price
This stain was a little more expensive but considering the time it saved me not having to sand first, i think it was well worth it.

I bought a used dresser in great shape but it had a few large spots where the stain had completely come off
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I tried to match the stain in those spots to the rest of the dresser but even though it was the same color you could still see the spots
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I really didnt want to sand the whole thing and start over so i decided to try the gel stain and it worked great
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I applied the gel stain right over the top of the existing stain on the entire dresser
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It is thicker than a normal stain so you dont see as much of the wood grain but you can still see some especially if you wipe it off quickly
