Review of Clearview Pioneer 400 stove

Best buy

Jill 12 years ago

The decision to have a wood burner/multifuel stove installed was an easy one, which one was the hardest choice??? After several weeks of research and review reading I decided to go to go for the clearview 400!! The reviews helped me come to this decision!!

The stove was installed by a hetas registered man, a 6 inch 904 grade liner was installed and insulated, a wonderful job was one, the stove is amazing since its installation in November it's been on 24/7, I have been using fire brickettes and logs the combination is perfect!!!

It lights so easy, the glass stays very clean, I do wipe it with a souring pad and ceramic hob

cleaner.. Does the job just fine....

I have had no problem with overnight burning, infact it stays lit when you want it to go out!!

Keeps the lounge to around 24 degrees Celsius, the all glass conservatory next to lounge keeps a constant 22 degrees Celsius,

I am a wood burner novice and this is very easy to control, light and use!!! I will never have a different manufacturer of stove!!!!
