I have heard about the Optimus Nova problems and the subsequent recall of the Nova and Nova+. Apparently, the take over by Katadyn wasn't completely smooth. To save money, Katadyn has moved all business and production units out of Sweden. Optimus is effectively no longer a Swedish company although there may still be a few sales personnel in Sweden.

I bought my Nova used; I'm not quite sure how old it is. I haven't had any serious problems with it, but since I haven't used it for a while, I will be doing my usual "pre-flight inspection" before firing her up.
