The price is good but it depends upon what and who refurbished it. There are manurfacturer refurbished stoves that come with full warranty for $795.

thats the unknown....i,m not really sure who did the refurb

Refurbing might mean cleaning, new gaskets, paint and repair of whatever was wrong with it. I believe $450 is not an unreasonable price for a used working stove although some of the end of season prices on new stoves can be appealing. Some risk if you buy site unseen, even photo's don't tell much. If possible try before you buy but sometimes one must take a leap of faith. In the worst case Englander stoves have good technical and parts support - are very fixable in my opinion.

i guess the question is where are you buying it from, you can be general if ya want, is it a store , online or private seller?

i may be able to give you some insight on that at least if we did it or not

See the post from StoveGuy2ESW above....if you can get the serial number, he may be able to tell you if Englander did the job or not.

If not, you still might want to give the stove a shot.....if it's in really good "like new" condition and runs correctly, that's a cheap price.

And ditto what another poster said about Englanders superior customer service in their Tech Dept.

hey Mike...i dont mind saying where it is...its at a Lowes store here in CT

i might take a ride back there tomorrow and grab the serial number off one of them
and shoot ya an email or something, that and maybe see if it comes with some type
of warranty
