  • Great stove, really efficient

    Si Lew one year ago

    This is a great stove, and heats our 3 storey house perfectly. I burn logs at first to get it going, then switch to solid fuel. The controls are immediate and precise making burning different
    types really easily. And it goes all night, with just a small amount of solid fuel and will still be warm in the morning. Those who are complaining about smoke, are not it properly. Open the secondary control, when opening the door open it an inch for a few seconds to create a draft, then open it fully. This will ensure no smoke comes in.

  • Noisey

    Tiffany Haynes 5 years ago

    Frustratingly noisey I know it is called clock but it ticks and clunks to the point that you have to turn the tv up. I think it is the plates and screws at the back expanding and contracting
    - would not buy again. I also agree with the other review that it puts smoke out in to the room everytime it is opened.

  • The best thing since sliced bread.

    Patricia Finn 2 years ago

    This is a very responsive fire when burning wood, however burning solid fuel requires patience to learn how it reacts to the controls. Once you have mastered these it is an amazing stove. Keeps
    our house toasty warm, and is much more efficient and economical than our previous stove. We live in Northumbria, right by the sea so need a work horse of a stove. In our opinion if you want a stove that will tick over 24/7 don''t even hesitate, buy one now and you won''t be disappointed.

  • Clock Compact 5

    David Kemp 2 years ago

    A nice little stove, but it has a tiny ash box, about an inch deep. Fine if you only burn wood, as the burner is very efficient and leaves little ash, but if you burn coal the ash reaches the
    bottom of the grate very quickly. With coal being phased out, it''s less of an issue really.

  • We love our clock stove

    David Sumner 3 years ago

    We have just purchased our second Clock Stove. The built quality is superb and it lights so easily. It''s easy to clean and we use my h less wood than our previous open fire, the room is warmer
    too. Good service and a first class product.

  • First Class Stove

    Kevin Morrish 3 years ago

    We purchased a clock blithfield compact 5 and had it fitted by a local professional fitter in Essex. We had the chimney lined and fireplace chopped out to provide a slightly bigger chamber for
    it to sit in. The stove itself feels very well made and built to last. Its performance is excellent and we have had no issues with smoke billowing in the room or any issues around it making too much noise. It is quiet, efficient and provides a supreme level of heat. The controls on it are very precise and a joy to use...From talking to our fitter he advised that stoves will behave differently depending on how that are used (or not used correctly) and where geographically they are fitted. We have a very tall chimney and live in an area that is not to built up. Our clock stove is frankly the best investment we made and we absolutely love it. If you are thinking of getting a stove fitted I would recommend you get a survey first and proper advice on it''s installation, how to light it, control it etc. It could be the best decision you ever made.

  • Clock very smoky when the door is open

    Paul Worthington 4 years ago

    We purchased a clock stove on its looks big mistakes because it's performance is poor when you open the door to reload with wood smoke pores into the room. I've tried turning the vents but still
    very smoky so wouldn't recommend. The design in poor and the manufacture hasn't been helpful.

  • Amazing stoves

    Kevin Riley 4 years ago

    We've had our clock stove for a year now and it's been a fantastic stove, it heats the whole house too. You get some really impressive heat output from it, I'm down to shorts in winter when
    it's on, I only burn seasoned or kiln dried hardwood on it as I get better performance from it like that, reading the other reviews though I've never had smoke come into our room from it unless I've done something wrong, super impressed with the stove and I would definitely buy one again. Keep up the great work clock thank you.
