SFM : Stove Fan with Twin Fan for Self-Cooling, SmartFan Mini for Wood Burning Stoves 65 - 330 C, 130cfm

Very good, makes a little whirling noise when first used but it's not intrusive and after a while it gets very quiet, you would not know its working. it's virtually silent. One review I read said there's packed up after two weeks but I expect they failed to read the instructions which does state that it's working temperature should not be no more than 330 centigrade, so get a stove thermometer so you can monitor this . I suspect they did not. As for me I'm snug as a bug and very happy with mine. Others moan that the fan does not push the air out as strong as they would like and it's not all that noticeable (as quoted with most fans). However after a while the room is more warmer than without one and if you wish to see proof that it is pushing the hot air into the room I suggest getting some talcum powder and throwing it towards the fan and you will get your proof.

Worked fine for 3 years then at the beginning of this year got a call from Home saying the fan was on fire and the living room was filled with smoke. Seems the fan on the side of the unit had melted throwing hot plastic everywhere and filling the room with smoke. On the basis of this I wouldn’t recommend this unit. Just too much of a fire risk.

This fan , placed on top of the solid fuel stove in our home has increased the comfort level in the room by helping to distribute the considerable heat from the stove.It operates silently and does not disturb the calm ambience our home

This actually work, although it doesn't seem to create a noticeable 'wind' like normal fans. I got this just at the start of Spring and have tested it on several of the chillier days we have had since. Within minutes from when the fan starts to operate it makes a noticeable difference to the ambient temperature in the room where it is operating. Because it starts operating at quite a low temperature, it doesn't seem to need that much fuel to make a difference. Whereas over a normal winter we use a lot of wood and coal, we won't need to run the stove at the same temperature as we did last winter. I'm pretty sure it will make a difference to the cost of keeping the house warm. Wish I had got one ages ago.Am upgrading my review to say this is brilliant. It really works. It means that the wood burner can be kept at a much lower temperature and the warmth keeps circulating around the house. I have found that the whole house is warm. That never happened with just the wood burner burning at much higher temperatures.

I had not really appreciated difference between mini and full size. In hindsight would have chosen larger version for my stove. Otherwise happy with design and function. Worth noting due to side fan must be positioned on right hand side.

Bought fan as needed small fan to fit in the wood stove housing, it works well but does not that powerful, we definitely have not used less fuel.a bit disappointing!

Bought after reading Pyracantha stove fan reviews. Smartfan recommended when there is a restricted space at the top of the stove. Excellent product and is silent, where others only claim to be. Smartfan has two fans making it more efficient than some. Note it needs to be sited on the top right of the stove. We paid less and returned them. This is well worth the money, with a good guarantee.

Great piece of kit. It is almost silent. If you were sat in a room with no other sound you would hear a very slight hum, but only if you concentrated. Worked first time of using, no need to faff about with it - does what it says it will do on the box
