Saw that Walmart is selling the US stove 5500M

Seems cheaper than a lot of places. I have been using 2 wood stoves, Hearthstone Craftsbury and a VC Aspen.
Thinking about trying pellets, and selling one of the wood burners. Is the the US stove crap?
$1,699.00 sounds awfully expensive for a US stove.
I bought a brand new Harman P38 4 years ago..for 1950...and harmans are considered by many to be the best choice and I can't disagree.
 
I have a 5502m and am satisfied with it. It's an upgraded version of the 5500M. Tractor supply has them right now for $999. Given this information, it would appear Walmart's price in NO deal.

If you get a 5502M, I find it works best when the draft fan is set to 1, regardless of heat setting.

Another thing to consider, If you would rather finance it, apply for a TSC card. They have a special right now, no interest for 18 months I believe.
