 Superb Mar 13, 2008

It works. Very efficient use of the heat coming off of the wood-burning stove. You might find where some people state that it doesn't work, that it hardly spins or that it can't even move a piece of paper that you might place in front of it when checking airflow. To those reviews, I state that they did not perform proper placement as placement is the key. My wood-burning stove is an insert to my fireplace and I have my fan located on one of the sides, a few inches from the front and angled a few degrees to the center. The fan takes advantage of temperature differentials, meaning that it needs cooler air as well as hot. Thus, place the fan on the side and not dead center. My particular fan starts spinning (albeit slowly) when the stove's at a surface temp of about 100 degrees F. Spins faster as the stove temp increases. It's very quiet and is designed to move air in a wide dispersion (vs. a more narrow field, like you might get with a high-speed, 120V fan). I like it.

Great quiet fan! Jan 31, 2010
By J. Keller
This fan is great. It is small and discreet but really circulates the air. It also doesn't make ANY noise unlike the blower on the wood stove. We use it as an indicator for when to put another log on the fire, too. When the fan slows down-time for more wood! And-it doesn't cost us anything to operate it since it runs off the heat of the fire. Highly recommended.

Cooling down a too-large stove Dec 19, 2008
By Jonathan Woodbridge
I'd seen these for a while, but thought them way too expensive for what they offer. Having put in a big stove in a small area, I wanted a way to move some of the heat around the rest of the room and adjoining hallway. I tried a small ac fan but it blew cool air which wasn't what I wanted.
This fan works well right out of the box, and the way it picks up speed as the stove heats is great. You don't have to bother with turning it off, it doesn't give an unpleasant draft even when right in front of it and it is totally quiet. It does slightly hinder feeding the stove from above, but overall it's a great addition. It makes the room in front of the stove much more comfortable, and the heat is spread out more evenly: just what the manufacturer claims...

 Works Great Jan 22, 2010
By C. M. Stolo
I bought this fan after seeing similar ones at friends homes. I have a wood stove in my basement and this fan is perfect. I don't have to wonder if its on or if I remembered to shut it off before going to bed. Just make sure that you follow the instructions for placement as I do know someone who burnt out their motor by putting the fan in the middle of the stove.

Love this! Feb 22, 2009
By Joan Livingston-webber
I'm buying my third. I bought one the first year they were available, and then I dropped it getting it out for the 2nd or 3rd year. They're pretty carefully calibrated, so it was walking over the stove top--something got bent. Got another then-- (about 6 years ago?). It was working fine. I put it away while I had some interior work done this winter so no one would bump it off, and now it doesn't work. I store it in the original box and packing. I paid $120 divided by about 6 is $20 a year. Worth every penny.
I use it on a free-standing nat'l gas space heater--most of what I have in my 720 square feet. It helps A LOT to get heat into the bathroom. Yes, the heat still rises. I have a Vornado to deal with that. It works good too. Put the fan on an edge so it's pulling cold air in over the heater. Point it over the top of the stove. Don't put it an edge trying to pull the hot air from the heater into the room. It works by blowing hot air not pulling hot air.
