Their Tech help is THE best....it's a FACT!
Franks said:If you like to tinker with and fix stuff on your own and dont mind some downtime, Then I would buy a stove that has circuit boards, limit switches, snap disks, vacuum switches, auger motors, convection fans, combustion fans, augers, etc which is also sensitive to fuel used , proper maintanence and installation variables and will be containing a fire in your home from a place that sells hammers, sinks , 2x4's and snowblowers..then sure. Its a good idea.
So if you had to "cut out the middle man" from buying from a different middle man who couldnt tell a pellet stove from an air compressor, please ONLY buy an Englander. After the big box store forgets who you are (which is about 15 seconds after the pimply faced teenager takes your money) at least you have a quality manufacturer to back you up when (not if) you have a service issue.
There is no way you can tell from the above that I run a retail stove shop, is there?

Yeah, just like a salesman. Very misleading how you downgrade a company because its not what you carry.

One positive thing as I recall is that they insist on OAK. I can't think of one local stove shop that does that. The local shops want a quick install and will tell you that you really don't need OAK, Not what you read in the installation manual!Shorty said:sticka99 said:thanks for the input my main concearn was if this was a decent stove i relize that they are not sold at wood/pellet stove shops why is that ,this stove is for my father I myself have a vc montpellier insert which people groan about but I like it which was bought at a stove shop so I'm not concearned were the stove comes from just that it is worth it thanks.
Quality stoves at a resonible price. That what Englander stoves are. Just because they sell them in big box stores mean nothing.
