Do yourself a favor and consider getting a Harman if there is a local dealer to you. The ease of maintenance and reliability will be worth it!No hubby, just me and two kids which is why I was really looking for a "set it and forget it" stove. I know I need to clean and maintain but the programmability of the Mt Vernon appealed to me as did the battery "back up"
Congrats on the stove and welcome to the forum! I hope you are getting an OAK installed and don't forget surge protection.

It's not the same thing. The MVAE is an energy miser. It only consumes 18 to 24 Watts when on battery power (my measurements). When on battery it goes into an energy conserving mode, where it reduces the number of autocleans and runs blowers at reduced speed.You can always buy a marine battery and a pure sine invertor and run any stove.... you'll also need a charge controller either way and a way to do the charging (be it a wall outlet or a solar panel). It's not like you just plug it in and its good to go, it requires 'battery maintenance' to keep the battery trickle charged. I wouldn't consider that a very high selling point by it self. I bought a ups for 180 bucks and its good for an hour.... enough time to shut the stove down without smoke, or get the generator running and move the plug without the stove missing a beat.
There is always room for another ton of pellets. Kids don't need a room, wife can sleep on the couch, car does not have to be in the garage. Always more room.
