What a difference between the new P61A & the P43 that it replaced.
I cleaned the P43 yesterday for the second time this season, as it is
my daughter's only source of heat in a studio apartment above my
poorly insulated, detached garage. Smaller unit that my big fat hands
have trouble with getting to all the corners & nooks & crannies...40
minutes from top to bottom, including the vent...
Just did the same maintenance to the P61A in 25 minutes. Didn't quite
put a ton thru it but I figgered with the forecasted cold snap coming in,
I mizewell get er done.
Lotsa room to work in the bigger unit & she's scraped, brushed, poked &
vacuumed & ready for round two.
Ya just gotta love the heat from a clean Harman!
 
I couldn't agree more. I have the P43 and it's a bit tight in there when cleaning as you said. But it's such an easy to clean stove and I just love it. I would love to have a P61A but that would be way overkill for me as the P43 overheats my house now. :)
