Ecofan AirDeco II Stove Fan [In-Depth Review]

You probably have heard about Ecofan AirDeco II and are wondering what the pros and cons of this wood stove fan are.

I’ve been using this stove fan for the past couple of months, and I will tell you everything from my experience – without sugarcoating anything.

This comes from first-hand experience, so let’s first cover what makes Ecofan AirDeco II so awesome, and then I’ll mention a minor drawback.

6 Main Reasons You’ll Love Ecofan AirDeco II

Very efficient

It’s incredible how such a small thing can move so much warm air around a room.

AirDeco II has a thermal electric generator that powers the fan motor from the heat of the wood stove, which Caframo says gives it stronger airflow.

Caframo’s lab tests recorded up to 190 CFM from the AirDeco II (up to 160 CFM from the AirDeco I).

When I first tried it out, I had a feeling that I installed another wood stove in my living room – that’s how powerful it is.

2 Different Sizes

This is a brilliant option for anyone with a wood stove in a smaller room (or area) because you can choose between a large and medium-sized model.

I’ve tested each of these, and I prefer the larger one as I aim to heat the whole house and distribute the warm air evenly.

Anyway, you can choose the one that fits your needs.

Portable

Although many think all wood stove fans are portable, this model has a built-in handle that cools quickly, so you can move it whenever you want.

Most wood stove fans don’t have a handle, and you must wait a few hours for them to cool down completely.

Also, they’ve made the handle thinner for quicker cool-down time – I have to give them props for this.

Modern Design

Although I’m not big on designs, my wife certainly is.

AirDeco II has a modern, sleek design, and you can see just from looking at the blades that it’s made from premium material, and they paid attention to the design.

It reminds me of a wood-burning fireplace insert because of the modern design.

Again, I’m not very concerned about design, but this is the first wood stove fan my wife likes 😃

Safe

I couldn’t believe how stable and safe this wood stove fan was when I ordered it after my friend’s recommendation.

It’s a bit heavier than others, which makes it more stable, but it sits on a hot stove, so keep children and pets away from the stove.

This is super important if you have children, as you don’t want them to knock off the fan and potentially get hurt easily.

Better Performance Than With Other Stove Fans

I’ve bought over nine different wood stove fans in the past decade, and this is the one I’ll keep using until a better one shows on the market.

AirDeco II is about performance and heat distribution, from the blades to the motor.

All in all, this is the wood stove fan that won’t disappoint you.

Minor Drawback of Ecofan Airdeco II

While I love everything about Ecofan AirDeco II, I must mention a minor drawback.

Although this model has the best performance and heat distribution I’ve ever experienced, it does require a slightly higher investment.

Some people might get turned off by this, but as with everything – you get what you pay for.

When I realize how much money I’ve spent on poor-quality wood stove fans (just to save some money), I could buy a couple of AirDeco II models.

My advice is to spare some extra money and invest in a quality wood stove fan that won’t break or decrease the performance after a couple of months of use.

Where To Position Ecofan AirDeco II For Maximum Efficiency

I’ve tried switching positions of the stove fan to check which one will increase the performance and efficiency.

The short answer is – left or right rear side at the top of the stove.

You should never put a stove fan in the center (front side) as you increase the risk of falling it down. Also, it decreases the heat distribution.

You can position it on the left or right front side at the top of the stove, but I prefer positioning it on the rear side.

Wrap-up

If you’re considering buying Ecofan AirDeco II, my advice is to go for it as you’ll be surprised by how good it is.

I’ve used over nine different wood stove fans, and this is the best one so far.

It’s worth every investment and I also recommended two of my friends to buy it.

All in all, Ecofan AirDeco II is a great choice you won’t regret buying.
