    Hi everyone

    I'm looking into buying a NOVA autoclave 8 (ltr) and wandered if anyone owns one or has used one. Really want to be sure I'm purchasing a quality item, fit for a Domicilliary podiatrist starting out.

    Many thanks in advance

    As far as i'm aware Tuttnauer autoclaves are among the best there are but very expensive. I'm wondering though if you have checked out price and availability of servicing and certification.

    If your just starting out but can afford such an autoclave then I would recommend an Eshman little sister just because you can get servicing anywhere and at a reasonable price. You can also pick them up second hand for a reasonable price.

    Many people start out domicillary with a cheaper alternative like a prestige 2100 at about £800 here's one much cheaper on ebay -http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/251211385829?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&adtype=pla&crdt=0

    regards Dave

    That is interesting. Can you please demonstrate your findings and how you compared it with other autoclaves? You have obviously done extensive research to make such a sweeping statement.

    Dear Anon

    I could but first perhaps you might do the same for some (out of your total of 48 helpful contributions) of your one liner statements of opinion made anonymously to avoid any embarrassment or need to validate your undisclosed lofty position.

    Dave - I am surprised (but impressed) that you dignified that last post with an answer - hope you didn't bite your lip too hard

    Yes Steve quite, but don't you think the silence is sweet.
