Info on the Osburn Inspire 2000

[bwalsh019]

Hi Everyone,
I am looking to purchase the Osburn Inspire 2000 in my fireplace. Was wondering if anyone has this insert and if so, what they think about it? I have read reviews that the fan is noisy. Is this true? Also any pictures of the insert would be appreciated!
I am looking to heat a 20x15 living room and 15x20 dining room in a 110 year old, semi drafty house.
Thank you

On the prior 2000 models, folks have noted that the blower noise is not bad when running at medium and low speed.

Also looking into one of these...wife loves the minimalist look of the stove.

Did you end up pulling the trigger on this one?

Do i understand it correctly that it can also be used as a free standing stove?
