Harman Accentra
Have had accentra insert since 2004. Installed it in my main floor fireplace and at the same time installed a quadra fire castile insert in my basement fireplace. Based on other reviews i've had outstanding results with both stoves, although the harman hand over outperforms the quad. seem to get better effeciency from the harman, yet it is much louder, but the quad rattles like crazy sometimes from the loose side panels and top plate inside. I have burnt 46 tons of pellets in 8 years now between these 2 stoves and not put one part in the quadra-fire and replaced a $35 exhaust sensor on the harman. I clean them both regularly and wouldnt really trade them for anything. I think regular cleaning is really the number one thing with any pellet stove as i have had excellent results with the 2 that i have.

I had my Harman installed in Dec 2010 and it has been AWESOME! Even with the relatively high cost of this unit, it has paid for itself in two seasons (had electric heat in Mass). Looks good,...
