Cost-effective, simple, yet surprisingly effective — plus it comes complete with a highly useful and accurate temperature gauge. I feel this is because they don’t really know how they work in terms of creating an airflow that circulates air.

How a stove fan works is by creating a smooth airflow around the room or in my case, around my living room and kitchen as it’s open plan. Our upgraded 4 stove fan is functional,it has a thermoelectric module which acts as a small generator to power the fan's motor. This should be no surprise as the dual fans are highly effective and can spin at fast speeds of 1970 revolutions per minute. So in terms of performance, the fan kicks in at a minimum temperature of 50°C, which is lower than most other models, not much lower but it is lower. You may need to experiment with the distance as the fan still needs to be near the hot spots of the pipe.

They help make a space feel warmer in less time by evenly distributing the heat throughout the room and not just around the stove itself. As already mentioned in this review, many other brands offer a standard one-year warranty, so the extra coverage is really a bonus just in case your fan fails. If I had to recommend just one stove fan, then it would have to be the Valiant Premium IV 4-Blade Stove Fan. None of the Chinese copy stove fans meet this approval despite what is printed on the boxes or their importers claims. No batteries or electricity required - this stove fan creates its own power from the heat produced by your stove.

You can operate the Igenix electric mini oven with four, easy–to–use control dials: the fan assist dial allows you to select users with or without convection fan assistance, the temperature dial allows you to select your desired cooking temperature between 100 and 230°c, the function dial allows you to selects between grill, bake, or roast modes, and the timer dial allows you to set a timer from 0 to 60 minutes to assist with the preparation of time-critical dishes. The stove fans in our review have remarkably similar features, though I have identified what makes each of them unique in their individual reviews.

Whereas previously you may have considered installing a back boiler in a stove to run a radiator at the far end of the room, now adding a stove fan to the top of your stove performs the same function at a fraction of the time and cost of installing back boilers, plumbing etc.Most stove fans will start to work at around 50° to 65°C, while the maximum temperature is usually around 340°C.

We had a Hobbit stove fitted this week by Alex Reay from Flues and Fires, and I just wanted to get in touch to say it is AMAZING and we love it! It was very quiet, I didn’t notice a whirring sound (which had been a slight reservation of mine) or a tinkling noise at all. Lastly, it could cut off at a lower temperature than expected, but there is nothing else like it when it comes to luxury performance and appearance.YES, they do work without any batteries, so operate for free but how will I benefit, and remember the fundamental question, DO I NEED A STOVE FAN?
