Review of Clearview 650 stove

We bought the Clearview 650 stove with wrap around boiler 2 years ago to replace an open fire which had a baxi boiler in it. What can I say. There is no comparison. The old fire used to heat the water and run 6 radiators. The radiators never got hotter than luke and the living room was always cold. Now that the woodburner has been installed the water in the hot water cylinder is always hot and it easily runs 6 rads. We now have to have the living room door open to let the heat dissapate throughout the house. Even during the cold spell last winter our living room was never colder than 24degrees. Since installing the stove our electric bills have dropped from over £400 a quarter to a little over £100, it is our first stove and we are absolutly thrilled with it and would recommend it to anyone.
