Still looking for owners of the Absolute 63 to chime in on quality etc ... looking to buy one here soon to replace what I have. Does anyone here currently own one?

While I don't own that model of Harman, I can say that Harman makes a great pellet stove and that should exceed or meet expectations. Harman stoves are known to burn "anything" because of the burnpot design which allows you to have satisfactory results even with so-so pellets.

Also keep in mind the dealer can also make or break your experience ..Install quality as well makes a difference(outside air hooked up) etc.
 
Literally in the same boat! I’m replacing a pellet stove and can’t decide if i want the Harman Absolute 63 or switching to a wood burner.
 
After my research i'm going with the Absolute 63. Its a beast of a pellet stove ..
 
Heats my entire house, only major issue after 4 years of uses is an odd one that Harman refuses to respond to me about where the stove continues to feed at 6% even though it reaches the set temperature. I've done everything from the LBT to cleaning the ESP, nothing helps. Others have experienced the same issue yet Harman does not address it.

Got my Harmon XXV in 2018. Finishing 3rd Season. It burns anything. Even decomposed pellets just fine. Had some minor noise of buzzing when new. 2 Screws were impacting distribution fan. Replaced door gasket this Winter. I scrape the burn pot daily and clean the glass. With Wet Paper towel if cold or newspaper. takes about a minute. I have 2600sq ft house (2000 all on one level with basement). Does the job very nicely compared to Blaze King King that overdid it if weather was warm. I use couple of box fans to move heat down the hall. 74f in Hallway and 70f in Bedroom and back of house. We have been using about 3 tons of pellets. I paired it with AIMS 1250 Inverter/Charger and two 100ah batteries so we can still have heat for power outage (12 hours run time). Downside Wood was free. $900 for 3 Tons last year delivered. Every ton I do the Maintenance. Clean inside with brush and scraper, Empty Ash Pan, Clean Combustion Fan and Fines Box. 20 Minutes. Faster than cleaning Wood Stove.
