Very pleased with this stove. The heat output is great. Noise is acceptable. Cleaning is fairly easy. You should keep some fire gasket around for when you clean out the back access ports just in case the existing one gets damaged. If the pellet fill opening on top of the stove was a little large it would be easier to fill. The thermostat wire on the back of the stove is too close to the fresh air pipe causing incorrect temperature reading. My biggest issue would be the control panel mounting to the back of the stove. Our pipe is offset so it is located in the middle of the stove for a better look. Due to the pipe location mounting the control panel was not ideal. I had to slide it to the right so much that it interferes with opening the right side panel of the stove. In order to access the back cleanouts (open the door completely) I have to unmount the control panel each time. I purchased some aluminum flat bar and will fabricate a mount at some point to move the control panel up and out of the way. Overall very satisfied with the stove.
