Ordered an Enviro Mini before Sept 25th to take advantage of the $250 mfg savings. Total was CAD$1750 for the stove.

Dealer called a few days after and said that the stoves are now back ordered up to a year due to a huge surge in demand so they are offering the floor model which is apparently been out for just under 2 years but has never been fired. The 2 year warranty only begins the first time the stove is fired.

I initially thought BS so I called Sherwood Industries who did confirm that there was indeed a large backorder on new stoves.

I left a message with factory tech support to ask if there are any major technical differences between the 2yr old floor model vs. a newly mfg'ed stove, waiting for a call back Monday. Going to look at the display stove today to check for a mfg date as well just to confirm its age.

Just thought I would let everyone know about the backorder situation with Enviro as well as see if anyone knows off the top of their head whether there is a difference between a 2yr old stove and one rolling off the mfg line right now.
 
If you can I would wait.the demo models always get played with.when I got my harman p35i .i ordered her in nov .had to be ordered. Install day in jan.i loved seeing the born (stamped date of dec.thats was a baby new born lol good luck
 
Depends how hard up you are for a stove. I'm not fond of floor models, since I worked retail and know how parts and pieces disappear, etc.
