Review of Clearview vision 500 stove

Efficient and great looking!

A fantastic stove that efficiently heats a whole house!

Definitely worth investing in a flue-pipe thermometer and placing it above the door on the front of the stove. The stove works best at surface temps of around 200C, anything below that and it just seems to eat the logs up. But once up to temperature you can slow the burn right down and get the most out of your logs.

Window stays completely clear for most burns, if it does get a little dusty, no need to wipe clean but just fire it up again and it'll clean itself!

Fantastic build quality, really efficient, great to look at and worth every penny!

Stove expert replied: A flue thermometer is an important addition to any stove installation as it will help to get the best results.
