Buying our first stove ... looking at a Kozy heat "Woodland" or Harman "Accentra"?

[lukretia]

We are buying our first pellet stove and are considering a Kozy heat "Woodland". I think they used to be called "Olivia", but are now only for wood pellets. I am not sure if it is a good stove, the price is good, 2099$.
Anybody have any experience with them?
We were also looking at the Harman Accentra, I know this is a good stove,
but it is a quite expensive at 3615$.
Any advice is welcome

Thanks

I do not know much about the Kozy heat “Woodland” stove, but we did buy the Harman Accentra May3rd.
Does the $3615.00 price for the accentra include tax pipe etc?
We paid $3000.00 with tax and all the pellet pipe, I am doing the install myself.

The price for the Accentra is only for the stove, not even tax included. I thought that was very high, of course now that there is such a shortage in Harman stoves they can pretty much ask what they want. They had a few of them in stock and they probably will sell them no problem even at that price.
Installation is 500$ not including pipe and so on.
By the time I buy pellets and a hearthpad I am going to be close to 5000$.
How many tons should I get to heat the upstairs of a bi-level (ca. 1000 sq.ft.)?

Okay, we decided on a Harman Accentra, I found that there were Problems with the Kozy Heat when it was still sold as "oliva", who knows if they fixed that. I just feel more comfortable with the Harman Accentra. We ordered today and are supposed to get it the end of October. Thanks to your reply on this forum I found a place where the Accentra was not that expensive and the dealer did not take advantage of this shortage to gouge the customers.
