It’s a really lovely looking stove with a nice big viewing window. We’ve had lots of compliments! In terms of its functionality, so far it’s been working really well and heats up the whole house (we have open plan) really effectively. It’s easy to use and burns very efficiently, not needing to top up very often. The glass does still go black with ash after a few uses, but this may be our firing technique that we need to work on. We’ve only had it about 3 weeks so we are still learning. But it is very easy and quick to clean the glass if you need to. Overall I would recommend it. We chose this because of its clear skies 5 rating as that was important for us. We only wish we installed one sooner!
