Comments on: Loving My Pellet Stove, Harman XXV http://arnini.com/fblog/2010/06/02/loving-my-pellet-stove-harman-xxv/ Chris and Kathy Arnini Web Blog Mon, 06 Feb 2012 11:50:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Paul http://arnini.com/fblog/2010/06/02/loving-my-pellet-stove-harman-xxv/comment-page-1/#comment-4575 Paul Mon, 06 Feb 2012 11:50:45 +0000 http://arnini.com/fblog/?p=313#comment-4575 I have mostly praise for the Harman XXV pellet stove that has been heating our home for the last 2 1/2 heating seasons. However this present heating season the combustion blower motor died for no apparent reason other than it was a bad apple. The company tried to blame it just about anything else. The replacement cost $115 and comes with what amounts to no warranty at all, unless you call 90 days a warranty, a year would have been more reasonable. If the blower dies the first day of the next heating season we will be out of luck, warranty and $115. Our fingers are crossed as we hope that the original blower motor was the exception rather than the rule.

Thinking about how some people are almost paying $4 a gallon for oil, and pellet prices still are the same, it seems well worth it! I think the price is listed on my first post somewhere.

I am also a Vermonter and I'm looking forward to a warm cozy house finally. I was not as lucky as you, however. Harmon did not through in a free ton of pellets and the energy efficiency credit no longer exists. :( Doesn't matter though, I'm betting it'll be worth every penny! Hi Kris,

I really do love the stove, puts out a lot of heat if you crank it all up, Even go through a lot of pellets when way up is so much cheaper then heating with oil and such.

We bought a house 8 years ago with a Whitfield Renaissance pellet stove & have used it 24/7 from Oct-May for those 8 years. This past week, we fired it up & it seems the control panel has issues :( Without ANY budget any time to purchse a new stove... we are now in the market. We have an issue with the size as the area is not big. We must have top vent & I want to be WARM. We've narrowed it down to the Upland 207 Pellet Stove OR the Harman XXV. Your site has really helped me... I am SO TIRED of being COLD in the winter! Can you tell me what you paid? I am not able to find a price on pellet stoves ANYWHERE online & I live on an island in Alaska with only 2,800 population... which brings up another point- we would have to install ourselves? Do you think it seems difficult with this stove?? Thank you! Been researching till my brain HURTS!

If there is anything else you can think of let me know. thanks Chris Hi Vic,

Being a pellet nuts I owned Harman P68 (paid $2500 in 2007) which unfortunately was left in the house we sold 2.5 years ago as part of the deal. Just bought another house and I am back in the market for pellet stove. I wonder if you can tell how much you paid for the XXV? If for some reason you don't want to advertise it publicly I will highly appreciate if you email me at varsenov@gmail.com. Hi Kris,

One of our friends got the enamel one and it looks super sweet. I personally think the XXV looks great in "living area" and with the optional stove pipe addition, looks more like an old fashion wood stove which adds a lot of charm. Thanks Scott,

I currently have a Mt Vernon in my downstairs family room and would like to add a stove in the upstairs living portion of the house. I was thinking either another Quadrafire or a Harman, and i really like the look of the XXV. Thanks for posting this, it is really helpful.

We ended up getting about $1200 back for buying it which was great. thanks Andres
