Review of Clearview Pioneer 400 stove

Disappointing-compared to other British stoves & very overpriced

Johnathon James 11 years ago

We inherited two in our last house and they operated reasonably well but we found both of the glass doors smoked up all the time (odd for a stove named Clearview!), My wife and I looked at them for our new house but were astounded by the price. They work no better than the other British stoves we installed at about half the price. Having used Hunter and Stovax for the past year, we are delighted, which is more than we can say for using Clearview stoves for 4 years
