3.3/5
The Vogelzang version of US Stove’s 170 lb hopper pellet stove. The maker’s own store sells it for less than Amazon, and the Ashley and US Stove twins carry a longer warranty.

Pros
- Runs about three days on a full 170 lb hopper at the low setting
- Holds a room temperature in thermostat mode instead of needing constant adjustment
- Start it and adjust it from a phone over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
Cons
- Stops heating in a power cut unless you have backup power
- EPA tested peak of about 32,600 BTU/h, so the 3,000 sq ft claim is optimistic for a cold climate
- Only wired wall thermostats work; smart thermostats are not supported
- Shorter 2 year warranty than the US Stove and Ashley versions of the same stove
