• Excellent stove

  Amanda Holdstock 2 years ago

  We bought this slimline stove for our apartment in the French Alps and it has proved to be an excellent choice. We had wonderful assistance from the online supplier who gave expert flue advice
  as well as great sales advice. Wonderful service.

• New stove

  Michael Bone 4 years ago

  We had this stove fitted a couple of days ago so a proper review will be coming in a few months. However after firing it up twice now to get it burned in and get rid of the smell of the wax/
  paint that needs to burn of I have to say how impressed I am with it. It couldn't be easier to light, a couple of firelighters and a bundle of kindling to start with. I have the bottom vents and the top vent open to get it going and the flue warmed up then after a few minutes put some logs on close the bottom vents right up. The top vent then closed to halfway for a nice steady burn. It heats our 5m x 3m breakfast room / kitchen no problem I can't wait for next winter :-)

• Seven years of service.

  4 years ago

  We had our multi fuel stove installed in 2009 and have been more than happy with the performance. Anyone not happy with a 5kw stove is not using it properly. It is starting to show it's age now but it's had so much use I can hardly complain. I recently replaced the fire rope seals and next year will need to replace the fire bricks.

  Stove expert replied: Great feedback for a stove giving good service.

• Warm but not the best quality

  4 years ago

  Initially did nothing but make wood disappear, after fitting a damper it works fairly well to warm our small living room. Quality-wise they're not great - the paint on our doors peeled after our first real fire and then a couple of weeks after getting them back we've found that despite taking great care there's now lots of paint missing already. Note that the body is made from sheet steel so ours clangs and bangs very loudly when warming up and cooling down although is fine once up to temperature. The size looks great in most fireplaces but is annoying when it comes to log size, most that we've bought were too large to fit two in at a time... Not necessarily the stove's fault but as it is a slimline keep this in mind. For the money they're a nice looking stove but next time I'd spend more and get something with cast body and more than a single spray coat of paint.

• Door handle

  Shaun Bainbridge 5 years ago

  The fire is very good the heat it puts out is amazing only problem I'm having is I've had it about 14 months now and the door handle keeps on slipping when I close the door I sometimes go to
  open the door and the handle just unloosens but it doesn't open the door so have to take of handle and open the door with some form of pliers put the handle back on then tighten it up and then the same happens again when I put any pressure on handle it just unloosens it self any idea to what I can do.

  John H 5 years ago

  just fitted the stove but there is just a metal base. It's a wood burning stove . Do I burn wood on the base of the stove or should there be a grate ?

• Good little stove

  Ryan High 5 years ago

  I had this stove fitted about a year ago and I have to be honest it's been excellent. It burns fuel quite efficiently and the heat it gives off is also very good. If there is one downside to
  mine it's that if it's really windy outside it can be a bit awkward to light and when lit it won't burn as well as if it was not so windy.

• Great stove poor heat

  Terry OCallaghan 6 years ago

  I love everything about this stove, but the heat output for the room size is not great. It says its a 5KW stove my room is only 3.30 cm. x 4.80 cm Height 2.90 It really has to be driven on
  to get the heat required, and I have tried all types of fuel.

• Not so HOT Hunter

  Chris Verburg 7 years ago

  After Reading reviews here we chose a Hunter Herald Slimline stove. We've been using it for about a month now and the heat is decidedly disappointing. After reading reviews about the whole house being heated, or the downstairs I expected so much more. We've followed Instructions on lighting how to use it but it barely warms the room. We can get the fire going and put in our logs which start to burn well so we close the bottom vent, half close the top one and the fire goes out after about half an hour, if we leave the top vent open it makes no difference the fire just goes out leaving partial burnt logs. Are doing something wrong? Or are the reviews exaggerated? We've tried a number of different logs, hardwood last longer and the fire is hot to touch, but I'm sitting here in my coat! Would buying "proper" logs from someone like Certainly Wood help? Also the handle is faulty, though the fire door definitely does close.

  Stove expert replied: Is the flue lined? Is the wood being used dry and seasoned with a moisture content of less than 20%? If you leave the bottom vent open a little does this help to maintain the fires momentum or try leaving the top vent fully open with the bottom closed once the fire is established. Logs that are no bigger than 100mm (4inch) diam should be used. Is this is a room that is well insulated where little air circulates as an airbrick may be required (depends on insulation, double glazing, cavity wall insulation etc)
