I got one, and it works fairly well, but I really wish that it used convection currents rather than a fan. The istructions say that not running the fan (which is a bit noisy)when you are having a fire will lead to overheating and damage to the electrical elements.
It seems like tilting the tubes to a 45 0r 60 degree angle would create a natural convection current, and increase the surface area of the heat exchanger. This would probably reduce efficiency a little bit, but you would not be using electricity either.
