Either way, for the price of a P-68 or Maxx, this is a more versatile unit, that holds more fuel.
Dex, The Maxx and Maxx M both can use the duct kit and both also hold 130 LBs of fuel. Maxx M would be a serious contender IMHO. ;-) But thats just me. hehe! If it was going in the basement the revolution and 50F would also get some attention.
Wasnt taking away from the Maxx. I said in an earlier post that the Maxx and Euromax had the Duct kits. I would opt for the Enerzone just because of the gadgets and the bottom feed system. Although the agitator on the Maxx-M would be nice too. I didnt look up the hopper size of the Maxx. I didnt realize it to was 130 lbs.
Still give my edge to Enerzone. Just my preference. There are a bunch of added parts (more parts, more replacement, maybe more cost?) It has 2 augers (think Englander) and 3 blowers ( combustion, exhaust, and convection). But reading the manual, and talking to Bert at SBI, it sounds, reads and looks like a great unit. The sides panels come off (firebox panels) in order to get deep into the channels of the stove. No area is left without a way to get to it easily.
That was my mistake for looking over the hopper size. Both are larger than my Fahrenheit. Although its appetite isnt bad at all. My Quad would have used 2 bags yesterday and the Fahrenheit used about 1. Very rarely does it come off of level 1 (pilot) and go to 3.
Off track........
But if its all out furnace ducting. Then def look at the Revolution, Endurance, or PF-100. You wont regret it. After owning a furnace now, I can say its very nice to have Super even temps throughout the house. But I miss the fire upstairs. Really miss it.
