Optimus Nova+

£130.00

LFTO rating rating is 3
Owners' rating rating is 3.5
This stove weighs 302g burner, 216g fuel bottle, 38g windshield (+ fuel); 3 min 22 sec boil time; ingenious flame control at fuel bottle end; 16cm diameter pan supports; low profile for stability; burns refined and unleaded petrol, paraffin, diesel. But high price tag; more care required; foil base reflector would perhaps improve performance.

Verdict
Excellent if pricy multi-fuel stove with good flame control.

    Expensive Very good performance but slightly on the heavy side for a stove of this size. Been using now for about three years with no real problem, the problem is mentioned in the instructions. Basically the problem is if you do not turn the fuel bottle over to turn off the stove the control valve will stick requiring the use of the supplied tool to free. Once you know about this it’s no problem! The control valve is good in that it keeps your hands away from a hot cooker. The build quality is first class with an all metal pump, small service kit, maintenance tool, wind shield, instructions & carry bag included.
