hello, i have been online researching stoves, the harmond xxv and the mt vernon. we really like the look,out put(btu), and the construction of the mt vernon, however harmon seem to have made a very good name for them selves and few complaint of the xxv's performance. some blogs have really throw the mt vernon under the bus, real horror stories. We we about to buy one before we read of this. are these just unlucky people i know all stove have problems? and are there any other stove with the same styling from other manufactures that are better? Thank you. "looking for a stove before the tax credit expires"
