Beez said:Lopi has a 7 year warranty, I believe. Haven't actually read mine yet, but I think that's right. First 2 years includes labor.

Agree with Eric of kinsman Stoves.
The warranty of a pellet stove should be balanced against your needs and abilities, the manufacturers' reputation, and the options for dealer backing in your geographic location.
Are you a "do it yourselfer" with basic mechanical and electrical knowledge ?
Can you accept having the stove down for days at a time in the event of a parts failure? Pellet stoves are complex appliances.
If the above is true, the warranty may be less important than other considerations.
If you are not comfortable doing the installation and possible future repairs yourself, I would suggest starting with the best stove shops in your area and ask many questions about warranty, features, and service after the sale.
kinsman stoves said:There are a lot of good warranties out there. I would look for a Dealer that stocks parts and knows how to work on the stoves. If you have a 5 yr warranty on a stove but the Dealer has to order every part you will be without a stove for 4-10 days maybe longer.

I bought a Breckwell bigE from a local dealer, My stove had issues from day one. My dealer did nothing except charge me for a cleaning I could do myself. So I called the next nearest guy and actually got great service. Fixed all my issue's (that I was ready to fix myself after 2 years) and Now my stove is better than it was new!
I never asked about servive I was just looking for the best price, Next time I'll now better.
Hope this helps

kinsman stoves said:You can always ask for references and a Dealer should have a long list of them. I give pellets in return for any customer that gives reference or helps on a new sale. Snitching does pay off.
