Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Optimus by Katadyn Nova+ Stove (Fall 2007) Optimus Nova+ by Optimus is exactly what the name suggests, a stove with the performance of the original Optimus Nova - plus a little more. We've added the patent pending Powerline for precision flame control at a distance from the flame by simply twisting the fuel hose. Optimus Nova+ also offers the stability of wide pot supports that fold around the burner for packing convenience and its serrated burner arms assure that the pan stays in place. Details like EZ-coupling for quick connection of the burner to the pump, the quick priming burner, self-purging aluminium Flipstop pump and a built in magnetic cleaning needle make sure that user's outdoor experience are all good ones. No matter what the conditions, the Optimus Nova+ will cook up meals that make users feel right at home in nature.Features: PROVEN TECHNOLOGY built on Optimus Nova Optimus Powerline for SAFE and PRECISE FLAME CONTROL at a distance from the burner Specs: Fuel: Optimus Arctic Fuel, White Gas, Kerosene, Diesel, Jet Fuel Weight: 425 g (with pump) Measurement folded: 86x67x125 mm Rating: 2850 W Burn time: Up to 2,5 hours at maximum output with M size fuel bottle (using 450 ml fuel) Boil time (1 L of water): Down to 3,5 minutes depending on climate, altitude etc. Included in package: Includes burner with valve and stuff bag (fuel bottle not included)"

From Backcountry.com:
"The Optimus Nova Plus Stove includes all the amazing high-altitude and cold-weather performance of the regular Nova stove with an additional Powerline hose for easier use. This hose includes a quick disconnect from the pump for faster brew sessions, and puts the flame control further from the burner to keep your hands singe free. The Nova Plus Stove burns on white gas, Optimus arctic fuel, kerosene, diesel, and jet fuel because you never know what type of fuel your expedition may get stuck with. This compact gas stove takes up less space than a fuel bottle when folded and weighs only 15 ounces, including the pump."

"A superb stove, probably the best currently available on the market.

I began serious backpacking in the 1960s using the Optimus SVEA 123 stove. While that was, and is, a very functional piece of equipment, I wanted something that would give me greater efficiency in terms of lighter weight and a controllable flame."

"I can neither recommend this stove, nor completely pan it. However, I must sadly say it was a disappointment relative to my good old SVEA 123. It is compact and fairly well engineered. It is without a doubt, the best stove out there for flame control (i."
