Dovre 2700 stove Hot

If you want a fire place that you can safely leave this fire is fine but it is not an efficient wood burner. The heat out put is rated at 10kw I never achieved more than 3kw with the doors shut. With the doors open it does produce heat but it also has a capacious appetite. Mine is going back to the shop a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.

Stove expert says: I think that in this case it sounds like the retailer should really have explained the type of stove which the 2700 stove is to this reviewer. This stove (and the others in the 2000 range) are a mix between an open fire and a stove. Open the doors and you have an open fire, close them and you have a more efficient stove. Yes if you want an efficient stove then go for something else. In this case I do think that it is not that 2700 is bad in any way - it is just that the reviewer was not told what to expect.

This is a lovely looking stove, and if you're looking for something that will look great but don't necessarily need the heat, then you'll love it. We live in an old thatched cottage with no central heating and needed the stove to throw out some serious heat. This never did so we have replaced it with a Clearview which has kept us toasty all through this colder than usual winter.

Stove expert says: Yes the Dovre 2000 is a fireplace / stove hybrid and is probably not as efficient as a freestanding stove, especially not if burnt with the doors open.
If you want serious heat like this person then perhaps consider an insert stove as you will still get the large window and opening, but will still have an efficient stove.
