The heat coming out of the unit is very warm and the blower just adds more to the capability."

"Looks great, I think it will meet my needs."
"I have owned two similar products over the last ten years."
"Had this product about three weeks we've been using it hooked it up to LP gas works great has a thermostat on it you said it on two or three and it comes on and off to keep your room actually this thing so good either heat your entire house it's phenomenal for less than $400 you just can't beat it great product."
"Very nice stove."
"We did have trouble with the electronic igniter at first but quickly realized the AAA battery needed replaced."
"Seems to be a quality product so far."
"We bought this stove to replace an old gas insert that was very questionably installed (and I was therefore afraid to even turn on). I agree with other reviews about the controls...the photo makes them appear very visible, but they are actually quite discrete, set under the unit."

If I had to rate the effects of this stove from 1 to 10 (With 10 being a real fire), I'd have to give it a solid 8! With that said, don't look to use this heater as a main source of heat (Unless you live in a warm climate to begin with). 5,000 watts will not bring a house to a pleasant 74-degrees if the outside ambient temperature is like 30-degrees! Instead, look to use this heater as a supplement to your main heating system to keep your home (or medium room) a bit more comfortable."
"The remote will adjust levels of the fire but will only turn the heat on or off not adjust temperature, It can also set a timer. The light adjustments for the fire are cool too, allowing you to adjust different levels of flames."
"It kept us very warm at night even during the coldest of nights (lowest at night was 9 degrees F). I did run 4 space heaters (this one, a Lasko, and a radiator heater, plus one small 1500 watt utility heater) in 2 bedrooms, the living room & the washroom. We are still in some cold weather and I have learned to close off rooms that are not used, also put up curtains to close off rooms without a door (like the hallway that connects to the living room and the kitchen door that goes into the den) which helps to keep the warm air in that certain area without allowing in drafts. Closing off sections of the house we are not using in the cold days and nights has helped greatly to keep the rooms we are in warmer. it is one of the best heaters I have and would buy again from this brand. My reasons for picking this heater is because I wanted something that will stay cool to the touch and is hard to knock over because I have a 3-year-old and cats that are curious about anything in the house and I don't want any of them getting burned. I wanted a heater that would comfortably warm an ice cold room (old house, it gets very cold) both day and night and one that will last not only this winter but the next winter too."

And I hope that you will be, too, so here is my review and bits of information (particularly aimed if you are new to pellet stoves, like me.). :). * Update 2: it's February 15, 2016 going through the "Cold Blast" Valentines Day weekend 3 degrees Fahrenheit during the day plus gusty winds and 18 below zero Fahrenheit to the -20's at night and this pellet stove is heating like a champ keeping large uninsulated place at 68F, consuming around 1 1/2 bags to 2 bags in 24 hours. I comparison shopped pellet stoves for weeks and found that purchasing the Pleasant Hearth Cabinet style with the 120 pound hopper and 50,000 BTU's (heating up to 2,200 sq ft) via Amazon was the best value. With all of my research about pellets I have learned the key is * Don’t feed cheapo wood pellets to your stove if you want it to perform well. I highly recommend this Pellet stove! Detailed Version: This is my first pellet stove purchase (although my family had 2 multifuel stoves when I was a kid) and I am very happy with it. I know it is a bit early to review, but the cold season is coming and if you are in the market for a pellet stove that heats more than 2,000 sq ft for under $2,000- consider this Pleasant Hearth Cabinet style or, PelPro PP130 has a 130 pound hopper, up to 50,000 BTUs, and heats up to 2,200 sqft or, Vogelzang Large Hopper Pellet Stove that has 120 lb. I realized there are few more things needed beyond this pellet stove purchase to get the stove up and running. The pellet stove comes with an outside air intake kit but that is different from the exhaust piping that the pellet stove needs to work. It can be also be purchased at Home Depot for $197.00 This 3 inch diameter pellet stove exhaust kit comes with everything needed it is easy to install and put together. Also because of my stove location and desired vent height, I bought additional 36 inch stove piping from the Tractor Supply Company store that was $34.99. Extra piping in 12 inch or 36 inch lengths and more are also readily available at hardware stores that sell pellet stoves. For the ease of maneuvering this 235 pound w/box+pallet stove (180 pounds stove only), at the delivery guy's suggestion, we unboxed the stove but left it on the pallet, then it was wheeled and guided into and through the house (we also removed the parts that were in plastic bags inside the cabinet). The delivery person was very conscientious not to damage my house or the pellet stove. If you want to quick reset on a cold stove pulling the power plug and waiting 15 seconds always works, but not recommended for hot stoves. It is very automatic once the pellets are in the hopper and the stove is on. Pellet Prices in Northern New England (North of the Notches): Premium Bags of pellets in Northern NE cost about $5-6. My Local Ace Hardware: Oakanagan Premium Softwood $299/ton or 60 bags a pallet/$358. Logik-e Premium Hardwood $289/ton or 55bags pallet/$317.90. LG Premium Softwood $279/ton/50 bags pallet $279 or 75bags/pallet $418.50. I have read a lot about Pellet quality… this will make or break your stove (literally and figuratively). You can drop the bag a sealed bag a few times to attempt to break up the pellets or just get another pellet brand. If your pellets smell bad then there are other additives to the pellets. A wise old mountain man, who has survived wicked Northern New England winters, by burning wood pellets alone since 2002, gave me his advice: Pellets from Canada are the best and highest ranking since Canada has pellet standards that are mandated for quality assurance. The old-timer pellet stove user warned me to avoid pellets from Maine. So there you have it- his opinion on pellets and my opinion on the Pleasant Hearth Cabinet Stove."
"My wife and I love this stove."
"The control is handy and makes me glad I switched from wood on the borderline days when it's just chilly when the room reaches the set temp."
"It has a one year guarantee but they tell you in fine print to call the company that makes these stoves, not taking any responsibility for themselves."
"A much better heater, go buy an England Smartstove and save yourself the headache of ever having to deal with this company's service."
"If I could give this piece of crap stove a worse review I would."
"I have had this unit (PH50PS) for approximately one week."
"It was not running on max when set, now it only runs on max even when the control is set to zero."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I bought this little stove in hopes it might at least take the chill out of the air on cooler evenings/mornings on days I wanted to work in my 15x18 (uninsulated) shop. The ridgeline is sitting at a little over 15' tall, (I closed in the back half of where I used to store my camper) so I wasn't expecting miracles or anything, which was a good thing because I didn't get any. I went inside & brought out the trusty box fan, turned it on, & angled it towards the ceiling to circulate some of the accumulated warm air floating around above my work area. Sure, like other reviewers mentioned, it smokes a little out of the cracks in the door, but after the fire is rolling, everything finds its way up the pipes & is drawn outside. I also had an old piece of small railroad track & a large splitting wedge I placed on top of the stove to collect & radiate a little more heat."
"Installed this in my camper."
"This stove bypasses the EPA regulations because of a sticker on the back that says it is not for indoor installation and only should be used to heat a wall tent or something like that. Maybe Sportsman's Guide will see this and put those up for sale but if not one could simply purchase a piece of 4 inch steel pipe in the length that is required instead of the chimney. Other than that the front door on the stove is high quality as is the Box though the little latch needed some bending and adjusting to function properly."
"So, a 45 degree elbow on second pipe out of stove, double wall pipe thru wall, 45 degree elbow, then 2 or 3 remaining pipes to finish."
"I like the fact that the fitting for the stove pipe and the legs bolt securely in place and that the door is cast iron."
