ecofan 810 stove fan

An Cigire

Have just ordered an ecofan 810 stove top fan today, going to sit atop my Oisin stove to better circulate hot air into my room.

Has any one any experience using this fan? Reviews say they work

Is it powerful that you can feel it blowing a foot or two away from were it's placed?

Cheers

The only thing that the fan would move that wasn't going to move anyway is the money from your pocket to theirs imo. Think about the law of conservation of energy - you can't get something for nothing. The heat would have been transferred through natural convection anyway but now you can see it moving.

So you don't think the fans wouid hot air circulation away from stove?

At the moment its quite a hot pocket of hot air around mine.

they do move the hot air away from the top of the stove to the rest of the room. If you place a candle 6 to 8 feet from the fan in the direction of the air movement you will see the candle flicker from the air movement.
It is not a blow in your face fan just simple air movement.
I have one on my stove

Great so you can notice the difference of your room heating up a bit quicker then before?

Moves the air around slowly but perception is that it is warmer that bit faster. Lets put it like this, there is no need to go to the stove to get warm.

Probably the most ridiculous comment I've seen.
Eco fans are great, but probably a bit over priced.

There is a noticeable increase in the distribution of heat in the room from before and over the course of the day you will burn (a small bit) less fuel as a result.

A good investment if you're struggling to get that heat out!

I have one also and they do work. Just speeds up the movement of the hot air around your house. Ours is directed at a set of internal double doors and you can def feel the heat at that point quicker than before we had the fan.
