• Doesn''t live up to the expensive brand name

  Gordon Weir 3 years ago

  We bought this stove as an ex-display model from our local retailer. Unfortunately they didn't have the kit available to convert it to a true wood burner. However, It seems that Esse do not
  sell the kit retrospectively, and it is very difficult to find, despite extensive INTERNET searches. There is an obvious deign flaw with this stove. The door can't be opened wide enough to remove the dust pan without scuffing/fraying the door seal. The stove looks good and kicks out enough heat for our needs, but the issues mentioned above make it a bit of a disappointment for a supposedly top-end brand.

• Esse 525 cracking stove

  Richard Brend 6 years ago

  This stove was fitted a few weeks ago by a fantastic installer. I have only experimented with the stove due to the weather being warm, but; this stove is easy to use lights first time and has
  a good sized fire box. This stove is a multi fuelled stove and so far coal has been the best fuel, as long as you know how to control the burn with air valves this stove will kick out so much heat!!! During the last time I used the stove; the temperature upstairs was a toasty 25 degrees with the temperature downstairs being 25-26 degrees!!!, the stove was also still burning in the morning and made it dead simple to re-fuel and light. The only bad point, but this to be expected, the handle does get very hot but operation is very easy plus a glove is supplied. To end this is an excellent stove that I'm very impressed with. I can't wait to get the stove going this winter!!! You won't go wrong with this stove but I can't stress that investing into an excellent installer is essential to avoiding any potential installation and stove operation issues.

• Classy design, great stove

  Toby 9 years ago

  I ordered this because it looked sylish, modern and very suited to my decor. I got it up and running this past weekend, and I am delighted. It looks fantastic, burns beautifully, produces loads
  of heat (I have a digital thermostat about 6m away to control underfloor heating, and the stove raised room temperature from 19 to 23 degrees in an hour). First lighting per instructions failed and the smoke didn't draw properly, coming out of the airwash instead which made the room smell for a couple of days, but with enough kindling its been fine since. It wont burn overnight as you cant get enough wood into it but its only 5kw so you would expect that and I would not mark it down for it. Its a great stove.

  Stove expert replied: sometimes you need to get the chimney warm before the stove will work well. Lining and insulating the chimney will probably help but you can also light some newspaper in the stove first to prewarm the chimney. This is especially the case at the beginning of the season.
