Good information there...I'm happy to see that the Ravelli is included, if I decide to go new it may be the one I purchase (actually the RV100 Classic).

The one thing I do not see in the ratings is the noise factor. I have found some stoves, especially the less expensive ones, to be unsuitable for a regular living space. Do you have any data on the stoves you tested?
 
We didn't test for noise and it was a point of debate. There are a lot of variables that go into it and it's hard to express that to a consumer in words. In the end we figured people need to go out and listen for themselves. Even a quiet stove can seem loud to some and to others it's not that important.
