So far so good. Finally to the installation, which turned out to be relatively easy. Unfortunately, the thing is very loud and unpleasant to hear. It's by no means quiet, especially compared to the original, which you can barely hear. I'm considering buying the original because it's so bad. Honestly I wouldn't recommend this if you want some peace and quiet whilst trying to enjoy your pellet stove fire. If noise isn't an issue then it's cheap enough not to be a big deal I suppose.
