Cheap stove fans - false economy?

Just looked at ours again and they are Valiant. What did you pay in the end?

I paid $149 NZ delivered so around 60-70 quid I think. Wasn't willing to fork out almost double on the Eco fan just yet. Did notice that the air at ceiling level was way hotter than where I lie down on my bean bag so hopefully it'll help. We also managed to boil the water in the cylinder today so hopefully with better air/heat circulation we might be able to turn the fire down a bit.

It will pull the hot air down from the ceiling and push it out about another 20 feet. An Ecofan will increases the temperature at head height by 4 deg C, the Valiant will probably do the same at least for a time.

Might have a punt on the cheapy ebay one, or just sit closer to the wood burner!

Not compared to the eBay one at 35 quid! If I was going to spend 60 or so on the valiant I'd probably just spend a bit more and get a proper ecofan!
