Aarow Stoves
Acorn 4
Top little stove that does exactly what we want it to do - we have a small front room, with the central heating thermostat in it also, and our previous Villager 8KW seriously over-heated the place. If I was going to buy it all over again I might go for a 5KW version as the logs do need to be small, but then I look after 200ha of woodland so it's not a problem.

Fantastic little stove that will warm your toes on a winter evening. The stove simply works for a large living room and is extremely easy to use.
Changing the grate from wood to coal is a simple lever function and changing the ash tray is just as easy. The finish is solid and stylish with a decent sized window.
A handy feature is the adjustable rear feet to provide stability on an uneven hearth.
Can't fault it!!

This is the only stove we have had, chosen for its size & unfussy appearance. We have had it for 6 years we light it in November and it stays in permanently until April. It is 4kw and is in the dining room at the front of the house coupled with the Aga in the kitchen we very rarely need the central heating on. Would buy it again and am also considering buying one for my Daughter for Christmas

A superb little stove, beautifully built, easy to light, and very controllable. It gives out an enormous amount of heat - way too much really for the eleven foot square room it's in, but with the doors to the room left open it warms the whole house (single floor). I shall have to burn large logs very slowly or the heat is simply stifling in a small closed room. This of course causes the glass to darken, and I've not been able to clear it by fast burning, but easy to wipe clean next morning with a damp cloth and a bit of ash. I think the airwash is a bit of a gimmick - probably effective when fast burning, but that's not going to happen much I think.
I'm very glad I went for quality rather than price in the end. That said, it's not at all expensive for a stove of this quality.
