Review of Clearview vision 500 stove

Fab Fire, couldn't live without her....

Sue 13 years ago

Have had her 3years, the Calor gas bill is 1/4 of what it used to be !!!\nwe burn both stove fuel and wood that a builder brings when he finishes a job, we are cheaper than the tip.We have a chainsaw , saw the logs just smaller than the door n in they go..the house has never been as warm, these fires are fantastic,very sturdy and excellent quality, n boy did I do my research before I bought.These firs are not cheap, but are deffinately the best.\nOurs has a back boiler which I would seriously recommend, free hot water GREAT.\nIt will stop in all night, damp it right down , put stove fuel on (a good shovel full)tiny amount of draft n its still bright at 7am from 11ish the night before.\nNext purchase is a gizmo that attaches the fire to the central heating then all the house will be warm for nothing.\nIf in doubt buy a Clearview with a back boiler and you won't be sorry.
