Review of Jetmaster 18i inset stove

Jetmaster 18i

Tom Groves 9 years ago

We had this stove installed over a year ago and have been delighted with the results. Not only is the stove very efficient in use but it has improved the comfort of our room when not in use as we must have been losing a lot of heat through the previous open fireplace. The room is 44m3 so is easily heated by the 18i.

We looked at a number of inset stoves to fit an existing standard fireplace and the Jetmaster was by far the best specified and best quality option. Basically you get what you pay for! The only minor niggle is the slight owl "hooting" noise we sometimes get if the wind it very high and from a particular direction, however this is not a major distraction. Our only regret is not buying one sooner.
