    Hi,

    I'm looking to purchase this stove.
    Is anyone using this one or any stove from this brand(Value Stove)?
    Are they good enough, giving proper heat according with the advertised power?
    If you have one would you recommend it. A review would be helpful.


    Thanks.

    I'd ask them what the warranty covers

    I have a stove that looks the exact same as that but is the 4kW model. Got it on eBay a few years ago for 210 euro delivered.

    Works perfect.

    OK, so I should expect not to have any problems for a while?
    Does it smoke, will it output proper heat?

    I found same stove at 250 Euro somewhere else, but I've seen it live on the store provided in the link.
    In the end I'll buy it from the place with lower price.

    I've had no issues with it. The smoke goes where it should, up the flue.

    In terms of heat all I can say is that in my medium sized sitting room it gets very toasty.

    A few months passed since I opened this thread.

    A few updates since then:

    I ended up buying a 4Kw Value Stove(not 6Kw as planned initially, due to fireplace opening space) and installed it at end of Oct.

    Stove seems well built(cast iron), gives good heating output(will heat up my living room 20m2 in less than an hour from 19 to 25 degrees) and no smoke in the room.
    After the living room gets to 24-25 degrees I usually open all doors and upstairs bedrooms will get around 22 degrees in a few hours(3-4)

    Did the installation myself with help of a neighbor and so far I'm really happy with it.

    costs for installing a stove:

    stove(4kw one) - 250 (210 stove +40 transport)
    flexi flue pipe(904 steel grade) 9 meters - 280
    top flue hat - 65 euro
    flexi flue to stove pipe adapter - 35
    closure plate - 50
    50x50 black slate inside fireplace - 30
    30cm stove pipe - 29euro

    total: 739 euro for parts.

    And a monoxide alarm of 25 Euro added a few weeks later
