I noticed no difference in our rooms in the warming ability of the stoves with these.<br /><br />What they are really good for is drying fruit. If you put a cake-drying rack full of fruit near the stove top, you burn the underside of the fruit and the top remains wet. But if you aim an ecofan over the fruit, this seems to speed the drying and stop any burning.<br /><br />My other issue is that they need to be placed with their back to a cool air flow... meaning, with both my stoves, one of the sides, pointing across the hot surface. My ecofans do not work so well with their back to the back of the stove, taking air which has been warmed between the back of the stove and the wall behind, and blowing it out into the room. So I rarely use them.<br /><br />Bit of fun, boy's toy, demonstrates a technology very well, could assist fruit drying if you need to speed-dry stuff close to the stove surface. But warming parts of the room that the stove didn't already heat, no.<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br />JohnCompost Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270806060748616269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8521461115196530599.post-21737794282313873992010-01-10T17:24:04.896+00:002010-01-10T17:24:04.896+00:00John
