Pacific Energy 'Fusion' - Anyone?

[Peter B.]

After all my talk about modifying an antique parlor stove, I'm seriously thinking about making a 180* degree turn and buying a rather sleek looking modern stove... the PE Fusion... in black. Maybe later this season, maybe next.

Does anyone here own one or have comments about their performance?

Thanks in advance...

I don't know anything about them or their performance. Not to hurt your feelings, most people think they are not attractive. Maybe it's just the different look that turns people off.

I could have gotten a very good deal on one earlier this year when I was stove shopping. The stove store I called said they had a floor model for $900.00. The guy on the phone basically said they could not get rid of it. The Fusion was too big for my little house, so I never entertained the idea of buying it.

Anyway, my point is, I don't think that the stove is a big seller. If there are stove shops in your area that have them for sale, they may still be around by the end of the season at a marked down price.

I have had the PE Fusion for 2 years now. I agree with you that is looks great. It was the only stove my wife would allow in the house and it performs excellent. I live in Canada and use it it heat my house. I have a 1600 sq foot home and it does a good job of keeping us warm.

That's quite a turnaround....parlour stove to a P.E. Fusion.I like the modern look personally, and if I bought one in stainless, it'd match my other appliances.I say buy it...that's a great price for a Fusion, and it's built from the proven Super-series firebox too.Send us pics of yer new toy when you get it home.Enjoy.

I guess the styling argument becomes very much a matter of 'to each his own'...

I happen to like the looks of the Fusion much better than all the latter day look-alikes, gold trimmed doors and ersatz antique designs.

This is a bad pic, but for what it's worth...

Glad to hear the performance gets a nod... I'll be trying to heat a good deal less square footage, too... though poorly insulated.

Thanks.

Not to say everything they make is good, but it's a Pacific Energy Stove, which has pretty much gotten good marks from all their owners on this site...................me being one of them.

What are going to do with the old stove?

 

[Peter B.]

Todd:

I'm uncertain whether I'm going to spring for the Fusion yet, and doubtful that I'll let the Round Oak go anytime soon.

I say point yourself to some local estate auctions up there in NW WI next spring. I bet you can find any number of interesting stoves to play with...

I kind of wish I'd made a similar auction habit years ago.

I'm going to have to get back into this 'game' somehow.
