Wood Pellet Stove HP22 2,800 Sq Ft. Pellet Fuel EPA Cert. 55 Pound Hopper

Hot damn n' biscuits n' gravy! I was just walking away from my computer where I was asking the seller (Comfortbilt) via email if they could spot me a couple door magnets broken in shipping - the phone rang. It was Comfortbilt looking to get me new magnets!The stove arrived in perfect shape except the two door magnets on the left side had cracked apart. I saw no other damage opposite the magnets so otherwise it came in perfect shape. Packaging something that size and weight such that nothing breaks is, I'm sure, not trivial. So two magnets cracking is about the smallest problem I've seen in most freight coming from Amazon sellers. My experience with wood stoves is only with an Englander catalyst stove. That stove is well made, >95% efficient when well maintained, but a bit tough to clean. Their customer service has also been quite good for me. I think I might not have used brass/steel combuster fasteners. Could have madethat easier to clean and service without adding too much complexity.This is a _really_ sweet stove. Has been easy to use, easy to keep clean, very quiet and can really deliver heat after a surprisingly rapid warm up starting from cold. If there is anything I could change it might be the foot print shape, but I knew the shape/size when I ordered so wasn't disappointed at all. I believe the stove is "made in china", _however_, and this is very important, it was almost certainly designed in the US. I would prefer to have every last part made in the US, but that is frequently impractical. Our values have changed. I don't see people working for quality, I see people wanting fast cash willing to produce mediocrity. The American consumer wants as much as they can get for the least amount of cost, which is pretty normal human behavior. The bad part of this is that the money isn't all staying local. The good part that we too often take for granted is that Chinese production is only ever as good as the engineering design. The Chinese built a very well-designed stove, because they *can*. That means all of the pollution from producing just about everything on the planet, hangs over the heads of people feeding their families just like we do. Moving so much production to China isn't China's fault, it's been facilitated by our wonderfully brilliant and pure-of-heart Congress. I'd like to say it's our fault for voting them in, but we don't have much of a talent pool to choose from. The system needs a re-design.Ok, enough of that, I really like this stove and I think it will stay with us the rest of our lives.

My husband and I had an old and inefficient wood burning stove we were looking to replace. I had decided I wanted a pellet stove instead of another wood burning stove. After my husband contacted four different stove shops, all who tried to talk him out of a pellet stove. The brands the shop were selling were anywhere from $4000-$6000 and that wasn’t including installation. We started doing research on pellet stoves and almost every single brand I found recommended the Comfortbilt HP22. We finally ordered it through Amazon.I have to say the customer service is top notch. My husband installed the stove himself, which he said was easy. Every time he had a question about anything the company was more than helpful and willing to help in any way. Since we have had the stove I honestly couldn’t be happier with our decision. We have a 2200 square foot house that is mostly tiled. We live in the mountains and our house is always cold. We were running space heaters in addition to the fire and house heater, which is extremely costly to run. This pellet stove heats up the entire house. I have never experienced that in this house. The stove is pretty easy to use. We run it on eco mode so that when it heats the house to the desired temperature it shuts down and restarts if needed. The stove is easy to clean and easy to fill. I am absolutely satisfied with this stove. I recommend looking into the Comfortbilt stoves because they truly are quality. Not one complaint as of yet!

I had a wood stove for 30 years and we switched to this pellet stove. I wish I would have switched 20 years ago. What an amazing stove. The entire 3,200 square foot house is kept warm and I literally fill it once a day. Very quite and on eco it will shut itself off and on when the temp range is attained. Some of the older reviews said the instruction were small and not well written, but apparently they fixed that, because my instructions were well written, easy to follow and had QR codes to videos which made the install a snap. If you are buying this stove, which I highly recommend, don't cheap out and for sure buy the hopper extension. Best $180 you'll ever spend, beside the stove.

Seems quite accurate as far as temp goes. Well packaged. Easy set up.About as loud as a box fan. Great looks, really like the wrap around glass for viewing. Remote only works from 6' away, hoping that is an easy fix.Update; have used for several weeks now, tonight status was stop, no explanation so I turned it off and restarted it. After 5 minutes of nothing we noticed smoke pouring out, the whole filled up. I opened the door and windows and got a fan going. Then all of a sudden it exploded into flame. I can only imagine the burn pot was too full and it produced lots of smoke until it finally burst into flame. Pretty scary.
