Review of Clearview vision 500 stove

Outstanding

Paul Westcar 12 years ago

This is quite simply the best you can buy in my opinion, but it is very expensive. I have owned mine for 18 years & it still works extremely well. I have just had to replace the firebricks & the internal iron baffle plate (£60 inc delivery). Clearview were the first to use the airwash system but now most stoves have this incorporated. Other makes of stove are almost as good though & significantly cheaper.\n\n

Stove expert replied: Not a bad price for a spare baffle after 18 years of use, can't be bad!
