This stove serves specific needs. If your need is to travel really light and fast, are at low altitudes, merely want to heat your food and run, or heat your water and dump it into a grub bag, this is overkill.There are alternate multifuel stoves both (Primus, MSR Whisperlite, and Coleman) but each has it's own problems. There have been safety concerns with Coleman. Others swear by Svea, but I do not have experience with that one.The Optimus Nova used to be a Brunton product, and had a full metal plunger and housing. This is my item and I own, and I will put up an image shortly. Mine does not have the convenient hose-twist as the Optimus Nova Plus now does, but it is extremely sturdy. The previous device had a purge application (which I assume is still the case) wherein you lay the bottle on the "off" side to expend gas pressure following use and remove the hose for packing. As others have stated, there are several o-rings and parts which should be carried on the case of failure.My stove is sturdy and even. I cannot say this for the MSR whisperlight as it was always shaky. Additionally, a simmer adjustment on that stove was a joke. Similarly, this stove rocks over the MSR dragonfly in it's compactibility and performance.Apparenly, the old pump and priming mechanisms were made better than they are now. I cannot speak to the manufacturing quality since the company was purchased by Katadyn. While I cannot speak on this company insofar as stoves, but have been pleased with their assumption responsibility over the "Pur" water filter brand.I demand a quality device that rarely fails, and can be repaired if it does. This device will burn almost any kind of fuel, and can be shipped to a destination prior to excursions. Compressed fuel stoves are a mistake in this regard. Stoves that handle liquid and compressed gas rarely do both well. This device is not the lightest, and is loud. However, the simmer control is excellent, and the high power is tremendous.An argument made against the stove regarding the lack of repair items available. True enough, you need to order these pieces before your trip via mail. One commenter lamented the lack of parts available on the AT at various stops. However, you can forgot having any parts available for any stove in 99 percent of your backcountry destinations.I did not give the stove 5 stars due to my inability to completely disassemble it for cleaning and repair. There may be a trick I am missing, but I can't quite get the simmer valve stem through the notch. Part of it may unscrew and mine simply does not.I cook a lot, and demand a fair amount of versatility on the trail. I bring a tin pie dish for fish I catch, and pack a older Evernew pot set (REI bought this company I believe), within which I use a Bake-packer grid and prepare quick breads within glad bags. I need a good stove with sustained and controlled heat. This stove is a proven tool, but you have to know your gear (f your pump leather goes dry you need to oil it, etc.). Good luck.

Okay to start off, I own my fair share of stoves. To give you an idea, I own a Coleman Briefcase (White Gas only, and about 30 years old), Jetboil (original), Optimus Hiker 111c, and now the Optimus Nova+. From experience I can say that Optimus is a lot like a firearm, needs regular cleaning but will fire up in a pinch. I also recommend getting some wire brushes for said cleaning as well. Not only will they help in cleaning but if the cleaning needle breaks or falls off, you can use a single bristle to clean the jet hole as well. Also if you can't tell from above my preference is for liquid fuel stoves. The convenience of propane is equally outweighed by the fact that it really isn't environmentally friendly. Propane is not a renewable resource so when its gone its gone. But with both my optimus's I can also use denatured alcohol in them, which is easier on the environment, especially in the case of spills. And best of all its renewable. Second, if your still reading, I like long reviews. Short reviews fall under one rank for me, why bother.As for the Nova+. Since this is my first nova+, I would like to say this. Even though all nova's are nova's, not all nova's are the same. Over time the design has changed. Mostly in the department of the pump. My pump has the air inlet placed above the fuel when it is in the on position, presumably to minimize fuel leakage. This makes it "L" shaped and can be tricky when putting it in the fuel bottle. It also came with a turning clamp to lock the quick connect into place, rather than a snap clamp on older styles. It also has a fuel shutoff knob which some of the early styles don't have. The stove itself hasn't changed much. What has changed lay with the hose and quick connect. The hose is stiffer then earlier models and the quick connect is redesigned to use the rotating clamp rather than the snap style. The stiffer hose means you will need to have it straiter then you would with the older ones. My initial run didn't turn up any issues running. Fired up just fine, and boiled and simmered water great. Only complain I have, and I will take this up with optimus, is that one of the "fins" wasn't forged right. Its mangled on one end like it was pulled off before it cooled. Should be able to smooth it out, but it does bother me. However, it doesn't affect functionality. This was mostly bought to be a backup for my 111c, as well as for times when I'm not car camping. The 111c is still my workhorse when car camping, and other than a broken cleaning needle(hence my mention of the wire brush), still runs great.

I ordered this stove via Amazon, it came as expected, however, it was defective. Katadyn replaced the stove with a new one faster then it could be sent back to the seller. Nice bit of customer service. Got the new one and tested it out using white gas. This little stove is a cooker. Simmer control works good, goes from simmer to roaring flame. Looks well built and should last a good 20 years. The one issue i noticed is when i flipped the fuel bottle to the off side, the stove kept going even after 3 minutes, perhaps there was too much fuel in the bottle or the fuel hose pointed too far in the wrong direction. I had to stop the stove using the simmer control and release the pressure the old fashioned way.
