A member here that is a dealer dropped that line due to issues with control boards and over firing. I know the boards are poorly designed and are made with sub standard components.

Save the Money for Harmon. 2nd Year on Harmon XXV. Great Stove. Some teething problems, nothing major (screw impacting distribution fan caused buzz). Eats any Pellets, even decomposed ones that are dry. Keeps us Warm. Got down to 3f other day (Newport WA). Nice and toasty at 72f. I shut it down when 30f or above for daily cleaning (Scrap Burn Pot and Clean Glass). I can do that hot too (Clean Glass Newspaper Dry). Great Stove. Have 1250w AIMS Inverter for Power Outages. Whatever you do get Surge Protector. We had power go out for .75 second. Took out one of the security lights. One before that took out WiFi Repeater.

Diddy K,

I researched that unit a couple of years ago and considered selling them but in the end it just is not a unit I would trust. Maybe some year they will get the kinks worked out of it but it's not something I'm interested in at the moment. My suggestion is save your money and get a good sturdy unit such as an Enviro or other good brand. Good Luck!
