Mini Eco 4 Heat Powered Stove Fan

I am installing a second wood burner in my conservatory shortly, my current stove has a Galleon fireplace's two blade fan that was purchased in Dec 2015. An excellent product that is quite, and very effective as it warms up the adjacent kitchen no problem. I could have purchased the same again but was intrigued with the specifications and reviews of the Mini eco 4 bladed fan, so I am doing my own comparison. I received this fan last week and have already had it running beside the Galleon, it is very noticeable that the Mini Eco starts more quickly, is just as silent and moves the heat around the rooms. It is 100mm shorter in height and goes like the clappers so early days but an excellent product so far. If you have limited space above your stove, and 'small is beautiful' this may be the fan for you.

I was a bit skeptical as to how much difference this little fan would make but so glad I bought it. We’ve bought two for the top of our wood burner and the difference to the heat in the room is amazing. Relatively quiet and unobtrusive.

I needed a small fan as quite restrictive headroom above the stove!! I was quite sceptical given the size, but was surprised at the amount of air this fan moves. A worthwhile addition and warms the room up much quicker with a good airflow. Also virtually silent when up to speed. Very pleased!!

Compact in size, silent in operation. Needed a small stove-top fan as there is little clearance between my stove and the fireplace. This little fan starts and runs very quietly. Could feel the warm air being blown into the room, rather than up the chimney! Seems very efficient. Continues to run as long as the stove is still hot. Pleased with this litle fan. Would recommend.

This works really well and its silent, there's not much space above my logburner and it fits perfectly, it does seem to distribute the heat around the room, value for money too as it's quite robust.

Without a lot of space between my stove and the fireplace this compact fan fits perfectly. The fan is quite powerful for its size and definitely directs the warmth to the room rater than to the ceiling. Slight noise, but with the TV on you don't hear it. But if the room was quiet and you were reading you'd hear it for sure. Can't speak for its longevity, but have used it 5 days a week for 3 weeks so far and seems fine.

This works surprisingly well for a small fan. You need to understand that it doesn’t blast hot air out into the room but creates circulation (although I can feel the air movement a metre from the stove) created by warm air moving into the room and being replaced by cool , which is then heated up and the process repeats. The room is much warmer than it was without the fan and we are now using less logs. The fan is very quiet, regardless of other reviews and you can just about hear it in a silent room but most of the time you don’t notice it at all. You do need to gently wipe it on occasion as build up of soot on the blades can increase sound. It kicks in when the stove is hot enough via a thermo strip under the stand and turns off when the stove is cool again. That’s about it really, I wish I had done this years ago.

Needed one 'cos 'er indoors sits near the stove and gets a bit hot, and I sit a bit further away and get a bit chilly - so bought this to spread the warm air around - it works, both more comfy, and it moves the warm air around. Works well on my Hobbit stove, though it's a very small stove so there's not a lot of space for it, so it has to be positioned precisely. Also, when it gets well hot, it emits a bit bee-like buzz. I can live with it, but it could be annoying. Item was as described, very well packed, came quickly, and had enough instructions to be useful. UPDATE: Aha! I've just inserted to 1 penny coins under the rear edge of this baby. This allows enough air to circulate under it so's it slows down and runs quieter. It also tilts it slightly downwards, keeping the warm air nearer my cold feet. It also invalidates the guarantee I expect. I borrowed the money from 'er indoors - now it's hot money ....
