It is important to place the fan on top of the wood stove. Due to the way the fan is designed, it works by causing the metal base to heat up and then the blades to turn as the fan moves. Heat will cause the stove's blades to turn faster, so the hotter the surface, the faster they The following day is free for me I am not familiar with a woodstove insert, so I cannot say for sure, but I'm guessing there would not be room for this on your insert. The fan works wonderfully and it's wonderful that it doesn't consume any extra energy!
It's the right fan description, but there's a mistake in the photo. It is not a requirement of a stove to have a number of blades. We set up different models according to different heat ranges. Stoves equipped with gas burners are designated by the letter GS. An electric range won't be able to withstand the extremes of a wood stove. The descriptions can be found here. A pair of blades pumps 100 feet per minute. 150 fpm will be handled by three blades. It is best if you have three Unlike a house fan, this is an outdoor Speed isn't going to be an issue. In order to feel the heat in the room, you will feel it move across the top of the stove and rise up to the side. Currently, I am using a 3 blade 802 router. I love the way it looks on top of my Vermont Castings 1976 In addition, it is a great way to start a conversation.
Unfortunately, we are totally disappointed in our My opinion is that this was a waste of money. Within a few months, the motor went out and was replaced, but it did not move any air. Despite the fact that I was supposed to send it back, I didn't.
As it stands, I do not comprehend how the color of the blade affects the overall performance of the unit, which by the way is not that good.

Next thing I know, there is a roar, then a crash from the living room. I suspect the big fire had cranked up the fan enough to propel the entire wood stove out of the house and through the sliding glass door. The girl was last seen heading north towards Canada, following the stove as she went. My perspective is that you guys should give me a wood stove, a patio door, and a six month subscription to a US-based cable service Dating services that are exclusively yours.
The product is attractive and so far has proven durable. Worked for me. I. B. * I. B. However, this wasn't the best of this company's products. This model was advertised as its maximum performance model. There is an existing 4-year lease on my property A blade model from another company spins faster and earlier despite having a similar blade diameter to this one. My impression is not good. In any case, airflow from these devices is minimal (despite the fact that they produce some air), so the best thing I can say is that there are other manufacturers' 'Best Fan' that are superior.
This appliance moves hot air effectively from the local area of the stove into the With this latest generation, the fan is a larger diameter with two blades and should provide cooler air cooling the fins. Due to its massier base and pillar, this model moves even more air than the last generation 3 blade model but takes longer to start. I hope the motor bearings will last longer for my application (almost continuous use in winter) than what I am used to with a motor that is longer, but still easily replaceable. It is much more expensive than other fans, but well worth the investment for its effectiveness on a regular basis and for its ability to replace a readily available and inexpensive motor that will always be required.
This is a neat piece of art. What is the air flow rating? It is a flow of 3 CFM per My suspicion is that it is unlikely. Even if that were true, a room with tens of thousands of cubic feet isn't nearly enough for everyone. In any case, despite running at full speed, this isn't a huge air mover. Much more airflow can be achieved by using a small electric fan. This little whirligig does not move air as much as convection. Each time I see it, it brings a smile to my face because it is such a wonderful work of kinetic art. This device is extremely smartly designed and completely silent. Construction and workmanship of the components are of a very high aerospace standard (complex machined aluminum extrusions). The anodized black finish). It is atop the $5000 Liberty wood I have on top of it There is already a burner in my house, which sometimes heats my entire house too much. Finally, I want to say this. Although the fan does not provide significant improvements in heat distribution as it was claimed, it is without a doubt one of the most stylish additions to the great room. You can compare it to a lava lamp It makes quite a conversation piece, and nearly everyone is baffled as to how it works.
There is a need to redesign the motor of this product. The motors don't seem to last too long, but it works great when it is working. It worked great when I first got it but then after about two weeks the motor started slowing down. It soon didn't turn They sent me a motor kit for free including free shipping, and the package includes two motors, so I received two motor kits for free. At the manufacturer in Canada, they were very nice and sent me a motor kit for free including free shipping. It took me less than a minute to install one of them and I still kept the other as My second motor did fine for a few weeks after I installed it, then it slowly started slowing down and hardly rotating, so I decided to install the third motor, this used to be the factory motor kit. As of now, it works perfectly, but I'm not sure whether it will last. If it doesn't continue to work, I'll ask for a refund. The fan is excellent when it works, but if the motor fails, then the fan is not a great invention. I have updated On my telephone call to the factory in Canada, I spoke with a different rep The person who came to me was not as nice, she told me that the ecofan has to be placed right on top of the stove in relation to the back of the stove otherwise it would overheat and become ruined, and if it is destroyed, there is no warranty. It was expressed to me that they would not send me another free motor and if I need another motor, I would have to pay Shipping is included in the price. There seems to be a problem with the 3rd motor but I am waiting to see if it continues to work or if it also goes bad. It seems to me that a fan that is designed to be placed above a hot wood burning stove is of poor design since it has to be placed just perfectly on the stove top to not overheat. A wood stove gets very hot since that is what it does. I tried to explain that what she wanted me to do with the location that she told me to put it on my stove would be impossible for me to do on my type of stove, My call to Amazon was answered by a representative who told me that they would work with me if the third motor failed. In the event that the 3rd motor fails as well as the others, I will provide another update. I have updated! It took me some time to figure out how to operate this last motor. The fan's back must be placed very close to the edge of the stove, and I do mean very very close to the Overheating and burning up the motor can only be prevented this way. As I had tried this fan on the first stove, which had a round top, I could not place the fan on the edge of the stove without it falling off, so I had to place the fan near the middle of it as I could not find a place else where to place it. that I have a newer wood burning stove with a flat square top, the motor does not burn out because I can set the fan so that its back is positioned right on the edge of the stove so that it can pull in cooler air With a stove that has a rounded top, this fan does not work well. There is no mention of this fact in the instructions with the fan. It would have saved us a lot of time, because it really needs to be used with a stove that has a flat top so the fan can be placed right at the.
This item was purchased through Amazon's open box program. I received this at my primary residence, but I was to use it at my It will be 15 days before we are able to put on our woodstove and realize it will not work and will not be returnable. It ended up being that I had to purchase 2 replacement motors from Amazon only to discover they weren't After being away from our vacation home for ten days, I finally was able to return The manufacturer of the Ecofan, Caframo, tells me they do not offer the TEC as a replacement part and pointed me to eBay, where a replacement TEC can be found. The story is that apparently AMAZON does not verify whether or not the product they resell is in good working condition. Thanks in advance to everyone who has responded. A word of caution to the buyer!.
