Review of Aarrow Ecoburn 5 stove

Pleased

8 years ago

I've had this stove for over a year and am very pleased with it. It's well constructed and a pleasingly unfussy design (though that's a matter of taste). It's controllable and kicks out the heat for a smallish cottage.

The only flaws I can find are that the door handle does get hot and the airwash isn't as effective at low burn rates. But I understand that's true of most stoves. Would definitely buy one again.

Stove expert replied: Restricting the airwash will mean less air washing over the glass and hence it discolours.
