If they only would have came out with this stove last year it would be my current stove

Very similar in looks to the Ravelli and Castle stoves... Difference in price tags though

Looks a lot like the Enviro Mini ,P3 and P4

big difference, but I like that it's a bottom feeder like the other Harmans and it only needs 6" of side clearence

Looks nice...kinda like my Ecoteck Elena.....but lots of people have said that these modern-looking stoves won't sell well in the US.
Efficiency looks nothing special though...80%....can't Harman engineering do better than that?

I'm sure not only Harman but all stove manufactures could do better that 80%. But would we pay for it?

My personal opinion on making stoves more than 80% efficient is not as hard as you might think BUT the maintenance would be several times harder and more often. Wood fuel is dirty and so is the exhaust gas.

The reason we went with the Ecoteck/Ravelli stove was we didn't want your typical wood stove look...

As to the efficiency, the Mount Vernon E2 was shooting for 87%. The explosive glass problem seems to have been related to too tight an air/fuel ratio. The "fix" resulted in a drop of efficiency to 81.6%.

Vicenza are great stoves ...nothing here in Canada to compare them too as they are years ahead of any stove outside of Europe

very very similar to my Ravelli

The Vincenza is very much like the Elena Air. The biggest difference is the separate fan controls for each duct. The hopper size is the same, the btus are roughly the same. My complaint with the Elena is the small ash pan. Have to be a bit cautious in filling the hopper as pellets can escape but Vinceza may have that issue with the open trivet.

well I done the unthinkable and ordered an Allure 50. I didn't want the glass front so getting the stove in satin black but will more than likely take the side panels and columns to work and paint them white. Next season I'm going 100 % pellet heat and needed a stove with a bigger hopper and the Allure is the stove that will work best for my corner install. Dealer will have the stove this thursday so I'm planning to install it next weekend.

Please let us know how it works out because I am deciding between this and the absolute 63
Good luck!
