Anyone looked at the new Hamlet solution 5 widescreen stove?

[BowlandStoves]

For many years the Hamlet range of stoves from Arada Group have been seen as "budget, introductory level" stoves. Is this still the case with the:-

or is that historic reputation wide of the mark today?

 

Has anyone had a chance to look at a Hamlet solution 5 widescreen stove in a showroom?

Hamlet carry a lesser warranty than the Ecoburn range,  but the major point is that the glass area on a given Hamlet is 40% smaller than the same model Ecoburn.  So far less visible fire.

 

My most popular stove is the Ecoburn widescreen,  never sold the Hamlet version.

Looks a little like the Burley range of stoves .  Mine is wood only though and the glass is double glazed .

It looks like an Arrow. Have they been taken over is it a copy?

Yea . Your right it does .

Spot on, Hamlet was owned by Aarrow who were then taken over by Arada - so the Hamlet range of stoves is now owned by Arada.

The brand names Arrow, Villager and Stratford are now all being dropped in favour of ARADA, not sure about Hamlet but suspect that will be the same.

 

Arrow, Villager and Yeoman were started by three brothers,  when Yeoman went bust the other two joined together and formed Arada.

This one has been a good seller for us - anyone bought one or seen one in "real life". They are quite impressive, especially considering the price!
