    hello People,

    Anybody know about stoves? I bought what I thought was an olymberryl Aidan stove rated by the seller at 21 KW or good for up to 12 rads.
    Today in order to lift it easier for installation I removed the door and there was a little plate which said Warrior Aidan stove, room output 4.9kw an boiler 7.2 kw ?? I was very confused. I checked the web an sure enough there are 2 Aidan stoves. One is manufactured by Warrior, the other by Olymberryl !! They look very similar but the warrior website states the same info as on the metal plate. The Olymberryl site states 21 kw. I called the the guy I bought it off. He said they are all the same. That he knows for a fact it’s the same stove only with a slightly different surround and its manufactured in the same place in china. And that the one he sold me is 21 kw regardless what it says on the website or the manufactures plate!! I am doubly confused. When I enquired as to the shop placard which was on the stove in his shop he said he had only 1 placard for either one and it made no difference as they were both the same stove with the same name, Aidan. Sure enough all his sign said was Aidan stove. He usually had only one or the other in stock.And he could not accept a return on that basis.He may accept an exchange but I would be liable for the difference plus all transport costs which will be a few hundered.
    The warrior website looks very official and states the british test number etc. The olymberryl site looks cheap and not at all official.
    I have 12 rads so I surely do not want a stove that is too weak. At the same time to change it now would be hard as its very far from me, plus everything has been built and is ready for plumber who is coming on Thursday. I have also taken apart most of this stove as its so heavy.
    If it’s the same stove with the same output there is no need to change it?
    Does anyone know about these stoves?

    Thanks a lot,.

    John

    i dont know about the stoves but it sounds like the shop is making a quick buck...reject the stove as not what you ordered.it might be a chinese copy...let him worry about the transport...
