I waited to write a review on the ComfortBilt pellet stove to see if it would hold up. This stove has been a life saver! I have an un-insulated green house style work shop that is 14 degrees this morning. In a short while, my jacket will be off and working in a 70+ degree shop. I love it.

Love it! Use it in our yurt. Easy to install and we don’t need anything special for the electric, regular plug. One downfall is that it needs thoroughly vacuumed where the pellets and ash are before each use. It heats well and pellets seem to last long. I would buy it again.

took a while for me to actually figure out the quirks with this stove. The service department seems to to only respond to text questions I did get a two-day response from a service tech who helped me by sending info to help me w/ my issue. I did speak to a rep about buying a replacement gasket and was told that none were available and to buy a sheet of gasket paper and make my own. The stove has been in operation two months now and I believe I have the bugs that I've encountered removed and getting more familiar with daily operation. On a positive note, the stove is what I bought and heats up the space that it was intended for. My only one concern is that I purchased this unit late 2024 and the manufacturing date says 2020. The only concern is that this unit was a refurbished return.

I like the small size. I'm using it to heat my 1000 square foot basement home. This thing has absolutely no problem whatsoever heating my home. In fact, l have to turn it off occasionally because even on the lowest setting it keeps cranking out the heat. To be fair, l could use the ECO mode which would automatically turn off and on by thermostat setting, however, ECO mode would wreck havoc on the poor ignitor, essentially prematurely wearing it out. No thanks. What l do is run this on manual mode on level 1 heat setting. Here's why: during ignition phase the unit needs approximately 570 watts for 5 minutes or so to ignite the pellets in the burn pot. After ignition, this goes into heating mode. In heating mode it's only drawing approximately 130 watts. So if you run in ECO mode it'll cycle on and off which uses more electricity AND prematurely wears out the ignitor. So ECO mode is not economical in the long run. The best thing you can do is let it eat while keeping cycling on and off to a minimum. Think of it as a gasoline engine. You don't get maximum efficiency by doing short trips turning engine off and on, same thing here, turn it on and let it eat. The good thing here is you have 5 heat settings to choose from. This unit is so small that l vacuum mine every day. I shut it down and an hour or so later after it's cool l shop vac the burn pot, underneath the burn pot, vacuum the ashtray and wipe the inside glass with a moist rag using only tap water. This only takes a few minutes. Remember a clean , well maintained unit will be efficient and reliable and last much longer. Because of it's small size it's a breeze to clean. The hopper holds around 25#, which will provide around anywhere from 8 hrs on level 5 to around 24 hrs on level 1. I personally fine tuned my combustion feed rate, exhaust voltage and blower voltage to where my unit burns about one pound per hour ( give or take ) on level 1 ( lowest heat setting )Customer service is outstanding. Jordan was my service rep and he was very helpful, patient, respectful and a real pleasure to deal with. My only complaint is that the pellets get hung up in the hopper. A redesign in this area would really help because it's crucial that pellets slide down to the auger well especially when the hopper is so dinky in capacity. Other than that l don't regret buying this one but and am looking forward to many years with the lil mighty mite !

Starts right up but is louder than expected, combustion blower is too strong and blows Amber's everywhere out of burning pot.Glass needs frequent cleaning. On low setting the stove went out several times due to irregular and eratic pellet feed causing flame to go out because there's no pellets to burn... it then senses low temp and feeds pellets but since the flame is out they just pile up....Called comfort bilt but never got a return call..Poor quality stove and poor quality service...
