Review of Clearview vision insert stove
All show- no substance
So- here’s where it gets a little awkward- I’ve been a dealer for Clearview for 10 years- although we’ve sold less than ever because of their reticence to do anything in preparation for eco design stoves legislation 2022
We’ve sold many Clearview’s- I’ve owned a Vision 500 a few homes ago- fantastic fire. So having moved in to a new home- and an opening that could not be widened I opted to take a vision inset from our showroom and install it into the 5x 3.5 lounge. Prior to this it was an open fire- so by comparison… it’s much much better. However, as a previous owner of at least 7 stoves- this is by far the worsed. Yes the flame looks great, controllability fabulous, the glass, yes, stays clean. However, it’s ability to heat the room compared to a free standing fire…. Hopeless! Someone else has commented on the need for convection holes to be cut into the sub panel- but that’s not always possible in my case I’ve owned inserts before- this Clearview just does not cut the mustard. Lots of flame- no real heat- maybe after a few hours- but nothing like a free standing fire. Maybe fine in smaller rooms- but not an insert I would ever recommend.- Be the first to comment
