Title: Works as intended!
Content: I’ve always been curious about these fans and finally purchased this one at a discount. After a few days I’m quite pleased, it is super quiet, pretty unobtrusive on top of my woodstove and does indeed move hot air away from the stove. Don’t expect it to move air like a plug in electric fan, it is more gentle than those. But it circulates the warm air continuously and for free. Recommended.
Title: Works Great on Fireplace!
Content: The VODA 4-Blade Heat Powered Stove Fan works fantastic on my fireplace! It efficiently increases the warmth in the room, and I’ve noticed about 80% more warm air being distributed compared to the 2-blade fan I used previously. The fan runs quietly and doesn’t require any electricity, making it a great eco-friendly option. It’s easy to set up and has made a noticeable difference in heating the space. Highly recommend it!
Title: Works ok, but doesn't blow very strong.
Content: Nothing wrong with this fan, and it starts spinning with the least bit of heat that comes through the top of the wood stove. It spins like crazy, but it doesn't blow the heat forward that well. Maybe the fan blades aren't big enough to move the air much? I expected it to really blow the heat forward away from the stove, but even holding my hand right in front of it, it doesn't blow very much. It probably does keep the air circulating somewhat I guess. I'm just surprised it doesn't work like I expected. It is quite safe too, if you touch the spinning blades with your hand (not recommended!) the blades will stop and not do much damage if any to your hand. In case anyone is wondering if the blades are dangerous.
Title: Buying a second one after 5 Years of use.
Content: I bought this in January of 2020 for my wood stove. After five years of consistent use during the winter it's held up very well. It starts buy itself as low as 100° or so and spins its heart out when I forget to close the dampers at 700° honestly that's probably why it's not working after 5yrs the occasional over burn may have had a part. I needed this to move the radiant heat from the wood stove from my basement to an electric forced air fan in the ceiling. The are close but wanted the extra help it's worked very well. I originally bout it at $40 now on sale at $23 great value for the money. The little fan can spin pretty fast when really heated and I'm sure it moves air but don't expect to be blown away by it, figuratively or literally. It's gentle but does its job. All I did was install it on top of my wood stove and there it has been for five years until this review. Just filled the wood stove and it's not moving and it's around 180° it would be spinning just fine right now so, time for a new one.
Title: Spin up in 10 minutes and run a good speed
Content: Bought a pair of these instead of buying the rear-mounted blower motor and believe they are doing just fine to move the warm air around. I expected them to take longer to spin up (less than 10 minutes after ignition) and not to run as fast, so I'm quite pleased. That being said, I believe the rear-mounted blower (at 5x the cost) would likely be more effective so long as there was power to run it.
Title: Heat powered fan
Content: This fan works great, put it on top of my wood burning fireplace insert and it moves the air around great, no wires not fuss with having to plug it in. I had bought one 7 years ago and it finally gave it up so I replaced it with the exact same one.
Title: First Impressions on 1st experiment!
Content: First observations. The device is thick extruded aluminum painted black. There is a bi-metalic strip on the bottom, i assume it is for correct heat adjustment to lift the bottom off the metal plate if temperature gets too hot to protect the device. I placed the device on a flat griddle on a gas stove with a thermometer. the temperature reached between 135 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit before the fan started to spin. The fan spun faster with the higher temp. I reached 200 degrees before I turned the stove flame off. I placed a long twine with a knot at the end with a few extra pieces tied to it in front of the blade while spinning. The threaded knot end moved away from the blade at the location of the blades bend from the center (the blades center rotation is where I started) There was enough air movement to move the knotted rope away from the fan blade until the fan blade's maximum distance from the flat design. As the blade moves back to flat the the last 1" of the blade the air movement stops! The air movement is slow and constant. this is not the air movement of a box fan or an electrically powered fan. You can feel the cool air movement with your bare hand. it will feel cool not hot. moving air feels cool. heat rises. Radiant heat is hot. A fan moving hot air on a hot day feels cooler than the hot air. In my trial I let it cool down and watched the temperature reading as it cooled. It cooled down to 100 degrees and it was still spinning. My initial thoughts would be for the blade to be bent differently that would engineer the best air movement and air flow at the lowest temperature and could self adjust as temperature increased and centrifugal force increased for the best air flow. I am not a licensed engineer and do not know nor researched the best angle for the speed. That would be for someone else to figure out! if you know send me a message! A replacement blade that was designed more efficiently would be great! this does spin at temperatures above 130 degrees. I did not test the max. i did not want to break the item on my initial test. I am not a Youtuber! and I plan to keep the item. I do not know how this will work in real life application. Will it move warm air enough to "FEEL" the radiant heat? is one enough? should I buy a large steel plate that holds 20 of these to move enough hot warm air to "feel" the warm heat moving around the room? This might be a conversation starter or it "might actually work." "Might actually work": move enough warm air around a 200 sq. ft space to "feel" warmth without electricity. there was a small amount of noise but not enough to concern myself with. I figured some bearings and oil around the axel before and after each usage would solve that problem.
Title: It does the job.
Content: It reluably move the heat on the surface if my wood cook stove. It is silent. It does have a lower center of gravity so is less prone to tipping over and bending a fan blade than other fans we have used. Its cheaper than some other fans but don't let that deter you.
Title: great product
Content: I have a wood stove, and I bought this fan to help push the heat around the room. The price was great, it works great, and is completely silent. Other fans I have had would start to get a vibration noise or a rattle after a while, but this one has been silent the entire time I have used it. I use my wood stove daily in the winter (Alberta Canada winters). I have had this fan for a year now and I would definitely buy it again. Also the gold color is nice to look at.

Content: It reluably move the heat on the surface if my wood cook stove. It is silent. It does have a lower center of gravity so is less prone to tipping over and bending a fan blade than other fans we have used. Its cheaper than some other fans but don't let that deter you.
Title: great product
Content: I have a wood stove, and I bought this fan to help push the heat around the room. The price was great, it works great, and is completely silent. Other fans I have had would start to get a vibration noise or a rattle after a while, but this one has been silent the entire time I have used it. I use my wood stove daily in the winter (Alberta Canada winters). I have had this fan for a year now and I would definitely buy it again. Also the gold color is nice to look at.
Title: Buen juguete
Content: Si funciona, lo puse encima de un calentador y al llegar a cierta temperatura empieza a girar. Si la temperatura es relativamente baja no gira.
Title: Works as intended!
Content: I’ve always been curious about these fans and finally purchased this one at a discount. After a few days I’m quite pleased, it is super quiet, pretty unobtrusive on top of my woodstove and does indeed move hot air away from the stove. Don’t expect it to move air like a plug in electric fan, it is more gentle than those. But it circulates the warm air continuously and for free. Recommended.
Title: Works Great on Fireplace!
Content: The VODA 4-Blade Heat Powered Stove Fan works fantastic on my fireplace! It efficiently increases the warmth in the room, and I’ve noticed about 80% more warm air being distributed compared to the 2-blade fan I used previously. The fan runs quietly and doesn’t require any electricity, making it a great eco-friendly option. It’s easy to set up and has made a noticeable difference in heating the space. Highly recommend it!
Title: Works ok, but doesn't blow very strong.
Content: Nothing wrong with this fan, and it starts spinning with the least bit of heat that comes through the top of the wood stove. It spins like crazy, but it doesn't blow the heat forward that well. Maybe the fan blades aren't big enough to move the air much? I expected it to really blow the heat forward away from the stove, but even holding my hand right in front of it, it doesn't blow very much. It probably does keep the air circulating somewhat I guess. I'm just surprised it doesn't work like I expected. It is quite safe too, if you touch the spinning blades with your hand (not recommended!) the blades will stop and not do much damage if any to your hand. In case anyone is wondering if the blades are dangerous.
Title: Buying a second one after 5 Years of use.
Content: I bought this in January of 2020 for my wood stove. After five years of consistent use during the winter it's held up very well. It starts buy itself as low as 100° or so and spins its heart out when I forget to close the dampers at 700° honestly that's probably why it's not working after 5yrs the occasional over burn may have had a part. I needed this to move the radiant heat from the wood stove from my basement to an electric forced air fan in the ceiling. The are close but wanted the extra help it's worked very well. I originally bout it at $40 now on sale at $23 great value for the money. The little fan can spin pretty fast when really heated and I'm sure it moves air but don't expect to be blown away by it, figuratively or literally. It's gentle but does its job. All I did was install it on top of my wood stove and there it has been for five years until this review. Just filled the wood stove and it's not moving and it's around 180° it would be spinning just fine right now so, time for a new one.
Title: Spin up in 10 minutes and run a good speed
Content: Bought a pair of these instead of buying the rear-mounted blower motor and believe they are doing just fine to move the warm air around. I expected them to take longer to spin up (less than 10 minutes after ignition) and not to run as fast, so I'm quite pleased. That being said, I believe the rear-mounted blower (at 5x the cost) would likely be more effective so long as there was power to run it.
Title: Heat powered fan
Content: This fan works great, put it on top of my wood burning fireplace insert and it moves the air around great, no wires not fuss with having to plug it in. I had bought one 7 years ago and it finally gave it up so I replaced it with the exact same one.
Title: First Impressions on 1st experiment!
Content: First observations. The device is thick extruded aluminum painted black. There is a bi-metalic strip on the bottom, i assume it is for correct heat adjustment to lift the bottom off the metal plate if temperature gets too hot to protect the device. I placed the device on a flat griddle on a gas stove with a thermometer. the temperature reached between 135 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit before the fan started to spin. The fan spun faster with the higher temp. I reached 200 degrees before I turned the stove flame off. I placed a long twine with a knot at the end with a few extra pieces tied to it in front of the blade while spinning. The threaded knot end moved away from the blade at the location of the blades bend from the center (the blades center rotation is where I started) There was enough air movement to move the knotted rope away from the fan blade until the fan blade's maximum distance from the flat design. As the blade moves back to flat the the last 1" of the blade the air movement stops! The air movement is slow and constant. this is not the air movement of a box fan or an electrically powered fan. You can feel the cool air movement with your bare hand. it will feel cool not hot. moving air feels cool. heat rises. Radiant heat is hot. A fan moving hot air on a hot day feels cooler than the hot air. In my trial I let it cool down and watched the temperature reading as it cooled. It cooled down to 100 degrees and it was still spinning. My initial thoughts would be for the blade to be bent differently that would engineer the best air movement and air flow at the lowest temperature and could self adjust as temperature increased and centrifugal force increased for the best air flow. I am not a licensed engineer and do not know nor researched the best angle for the speed. That would be for someone else to figure out! if you know send me a message! A replacement blade that was designed more efficiently would be great! this does spin at temperatures above 130 degrees. I did not test the max. i did not want to break the item on my initial test. I am not a Youtuber! and I plan to keep the item. I do not know how this will work in real life application. Will it move warm air enough to "FEEL" the radiant heat? is one enough? should I buy a large steel plate that holds 20 of these to move enough hot warm air to "feel" the warm heat moving around the room? This might be a conversation starter or it "might actually work." "Might actually work": move enough warm air around a 200 sq. ft space to "feel" warmth without electricity. there was a small amount of noise but not enough to concern myself with. I figured some bearings and oil around the axel before and after each usage would solve that problem.

Content: This fan works great, put it on top of my wood burning fireplace insert and it moves the air around great, no wires not fuss with having to plug it in. I had bought one 7 years ago and it finally gave it up so I replaced it with the exact same one.
Title: First Impressions on 1st experiment!
Content: First observations. The device is thick extruded aluminum painted black. There is a bi-metalic strip on the bottom, i assume it is for correct heat adjustment to lift the bottom off the metal plate if temperature gets too hot to protect the device. I placed the device on a flat griddle on a gas stove with a thermometer. the temperature reached between 135 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit before the fan started to spin. The fan spun faster with the higher temp. I reached 200 degrees before I turned the stove flame off. I placed a long twine with a knot at the end with a few extra pieces tied to it in front of the blade while spinning. The threaded knot end moved away from the blade at the location of the blades bend from the center (the blades center rotation is where I started) There was enough air movement to move the knotted rope away from the fan blade until the fan blade's maximum distance from the flat design. As the blade moves back to flat the the last 1" of the blade the air movement stops! The air movement is slow and constant. this is not the air movement of a box fan or an electrically powered fan. You can feel the cool air movement with your bare hand. it will feel cool not hot. moving air feels cool. heat rises. Radiant heat is hot. A fan moving hot air on a hot day feels cooler than the hot air. In my trial I let it cool down and watched the temperature reading as it cooled. It cooled down to 100 degrees and it was still spinning. My initial thoughts would be for the blade to be bent differently that would engineer the best air movement and air flow at the lowest temperature and could self adjust as temperature increased and centrifugal force increased for the best air flow. I am not a licensed engineer and do not know nor researched the best angle for the speed. That would be for someone else to figure out! if you know send me a message! A replacement blade that was designed more efficiently would be great! this does spin at temperatures above 130 degrees. I did not test the max. i did not want to break the item on my initial test. I am not a Youtuber! and I plan to keep the item. I do not know how this will work in real life application. Will it move warm air enough to "FEEL" the radiant heat? is one enough? should I buy a large steel plate that holds 20 of these to move enough hot warm air to "feel" the warm heat moving around the room? This might be a conversation starter or it "might actually work." "Might actually work": move enough warm air around a 200 sq. ft space to "feel" warmth without electricity. there was a small amount of noise but not enough to concern myself with. I figured some bearings and oil around the axel before and after each usage would solve that problem.
Title: It does the job.
Content: It reluably move the heat on the surface if my wood cook stove. It is silent. It does have a lower center of gravity so is less prone to tipping over and bending a fan blade than other fans we have used. Its cheaper than some other fans but don't let that deter you.
Title: great product
Content: I have a wood stove, and I bought this fan to help push the heat around the room. The price was great, it works great, and is completely silent. Other fans I have had would start to get a vibration noise or a rattle after a while, but this one has been silent the entire time I have used it. I use my wood stove daily in the winter (Alberta Canada winters). I have had this fan for a year now and I would definitely buy it again. Also the gold color is nice to look at.
Title: Buen juguete
Content: Si funciona, lo puse encima de un calentador y al llegar a cierta temperatura empieza a girar. Si la temperatura es relativamente baja no gira.
Title: Works as intended!
Content: I’ve always been curious about these fans and finally purchased this one at a discount. After a few days I’m quite pleased, it is super quiet, pretty unobtrusive on top of my woodstove and does indeed move hot air away from the stove. Don’t expect it to move air like a plug in electric fan, it is more gentle than those. But it circulates the warm air continuously and for free. Recommended.
Title: Works Great on Fireplace!
Content: The VODA 4-Blade Heat Powered Stove Fan works fantastic on my fireplace! It efficiently increases the warmth in the room, and I’ve noticed about 80% more warm air being distributed compared to the 2-blade fan I used previously. The fan runs quietly and doesn’t require any electricity, making it a great eco-friendly option. It’s easy to set up and has made a noticeable difference in heating the space. Highly recommend it!
Title: Works ok, but doesn't blow very strong.
Content: Nothing wrong with this fan, and it starts spinning with the least bit of heat that comes through the top of the wood stove. It spins like crazy, but it doesn't blow the heat forward that well. Maybe the fan blades aren't big enough to move the air much? I expected it to really blow the heat forward away from the stove, but even holding my hand right in front of it, it doesn't blow very much. It probably does keep the air circulating somewhat I guess. I'm just surprised it doesn't work like I expected. It is quite safe too, if you touch the spinning blades with your hand (not recommended!) the blades will stop and not do much damage if any to your hand. In case anyone is wondering if the blades are dangerous.
Title: Buying a second one after 5 Years of use.
Content: I bought this in January of 2020 for my wood stove. After five years of consistent use during the winter it's held up very well. It starts buy itself as low as 100° or so and spins its heart out when I forget to close the dampers at 700° honestly that's probably why it's not working after 5yrs the occasional over burn may have had a part. I needed this to move the radiant heat from the wood stove from my basement to an electric forced air fan in the ceiling. The are close but wanted the extra help it's worked very well. I originally bout it at $40 now on sale at $23 great value for the money. The little fan can spin pretty fast when really heated and I'm sure it moves air but don't expect to be blown away by it, figuratively or literally. It's gentle but does its job. All I did was install it on top of my wood stove and there it has been for five years until this review. Just filled the wood stove and it's not moving and it's around 180° it would be spinning just fine right now so, time for a new one.
Title: Spin up in 10 minutes and run a good speed
Content: Bought a pair of these instead of buying the rear-mounted blower motor and believe they are doing just fine to move the warm air around. I expected them to take longer to spin up (less than 10 minutes after ignition) and not to run as fast, so I'm quite pleased. That being said, I believe the rear-mounted blower (at 5x the cost) would likely be more effective so long as there was power to run it.
