Review of ACR Malvern

Malvern stove

Iain Simpson 8 years ago

I have the 5kw Malvern and although I have yet to have a full season on it (only installed in Feb) my observations are;

Small ash pan

Slightly difficult to control ( although this will no doubt improve with experience)

Overall kicks out a good bit of heat

Decent little stove
