I think the feed/burn system on the Harman’s are much better than the burn pot style(my first stove was a QuadraFire Classic Bay 1200, still running from 2008). I prefer the cleaning/maintenance of the Harman above other stoves, that for me is the best selling feature since I’m doing the maintenance anyways.

I was looking into a Comforbilt for half the price but maintenance sounded like a nightmare (not to mention Made in China vs. USA). Plus Harmans have been around a long time. My in-laws and brother in law both have them and they’ve both been solid units.

I’m looking to replace my freestanding Harman Advance with the newer Allure model.

I went down the rabbit hole of looking at other brands and saw some nicely designed European stoves, but after maintaining Harman stoves for several years…. I don’t think I’ll go for other brands. They have gotten it right for so long, for me anyways.

Maintenance is very important to get the best efficiency, I’m not lazy, but I don’t need Land Rover type maintenance, I’m a Lexus type of guy.
