eco fan

The vulcan says its 33.5cm height I measured gap under the fireplace between stove and the plate and its 35cm not much clearance

Not sure eco fan though

Height 233mm (9.25") http://www.ecofan.co.uk/woodstove-ecofans.html

We also use the smaller ecofan because of the height issue. As On the linked thread we also use a small summer fan that works air around the stove. It does cause a draft if near it but makes a big differance to the room and house temp.

If you can go for the 3 blade ecofan they say that is better?

I bought one last winter and actually it's pretty good. I really notice a difference in heat distribution. I got mine on Ebay.

I have a New style Vulcan fan and the total height is 12" (30.5cm) if this helps.

If you want to push a lot of hot air around, then Vulcan is the fan for the job. Fortunately for my layout, two blade ecofan does the trick, three blade eco will do it quicker, as will the Vulcan do it faster than both eco's. Each fans specs will confirm this.

All down to various factors!

We have the two blade EcoFan in quite a large room. Sitting there you feel no air movement even with the fan pointed direct at you , but the fan does it's job. Where we used to have cold feet with icy draughts at floor level while all the expensive heat rose to warm the ceiling, we now have a comfortable environment. The fan killed the droughts totally,our feet are warm and at head level it is un-stuffy . I work out that the EcoFan circulates the contents of the room in 20 mins which for us seems just right . The fan would appear to be designed to move a fairly large volume of air but at a low velocity, if you had a fan where you could actually feel the air movement I do not think it would be as satisfactory.

Yes I know what you mean, it's like a silent pushing of the hot air. I should have stated volume wise three blade eco, and the five blade Vulcan fan move air quicker, but again in a silent fashion, if this makes sense??

I think I'll send mine off for refurbishment soon. The blades are not rotating quite as fast as they should. Hopefully won't be too expensive.

Was it faulty from the start or has it started to wear out in the time you've owned it? I ask because I'm in two minds. They seem quite costly and if there were service issues I wouldn't want to buy one from the States and have to send it back, or wait till I was over there to return it for service.
