In laws use one on there saey Hannover 2, it spins pretty fast lol they also have the magic heater on each stove in the flue pipe, comes on quite a bit when the stoves are above 400.

Yes I have two of them. One on the stove in the house and one on the stove in the garage.
My Hitzer 30-95 didn't have the blower option so I set one of them on the top. Works like a champ.
They are great and make no noise.
And to be honest I bought the rather cheap knock off ones off of EBAY because I didn't know it they were going to be worth it. They were!
I tried the Magic heat in the flue, worked great in the fall burning wood but with the low flue temps when burning coal it didn't do much.

I know for the price of most of them, I could buy a few lil box fans & eat the elec. charge. As is, my ceiling fan does real well when needed & that's around 0 or below. This is a real broke up 200 yr old farmhouse.

Amen to ceiling fans. i also use a fan on the floor blowing into the room with my stove on a real low setting (below low setting). it is a real amazement how well that will circulate heat around a home, kind of a cold air return system....
it is a lot easier to heat a house blowing cold air at a stove then to try to blow warm air away from it, something I never figured out until I found this website. These feller's know air movement!
If I was off grid, or just for entertainment, I would have and eco fan.

The four blade looks cool. The Chubby throws a lot of heat. I'm not a fan of the blower due to the noise also I have to run the stove hotter and tend more often
