well right now im not very happy. i bought this stove about a month ago and i already have an issue. i guess i will see how well the dealer services my stove
i work up at 4am to some loud squeaking sound coming from the stove. i came downstairs and removed the back panels, it was coming from the auger feed assembly. i took an oil can and lightly oiled the bearings, noise did not go away (i wouldnt have messed with it but it was 4am with outside temp of 0, i wanted heat). the noise didnt go away and eventually the auger feed motor stopped working. im calling the dealer tomorrow, he assured me stove was sold with a full 5 year warranty. i need him to fix this asap. i ended up turning on the emergency heat, my nasty old POS gas furance that i keep functional just in case something like this should happen(it shouldnt, in my opinion). i was fairly happy with the harman until now, it has amazing heat output when its working. at the moment im a pretty dis-satisfied customer. that US stove 5510 might have been a loud piece of junk but at least that cheap piece of junk never left me in the cold. hopefully that nasty old gas furance will keep up, its not the best unit but it works. (its an old oil burner converted over to natural gas........ it really is junk but in an emergency it works)
