Review of Clearview vision 500 stove

Clearview Vision

8 years ago

We installed our first one 20 years ago (we later put in a Vision and a Pioneer in other rooms). We only burn seasoned wood. Last year was the first time that we had it properly serviced and the door seals replaced. I replaced the liners about 6 years ago. The stove has been brilliant. It is dead easy to light, easy to control. The removable handle is a simple solution to the hot handle problem. 2 friends have also put in Clearviews on our recommendations.
