This particular model is over 600mm wide and has one of the large glass fronts in the Ecosy+ range. A fantastic option for those who have a large fireplace which needs filling, or a room which requires a freestanding stove with a good footprint.
Slimline
This stove answers a lot of customers’ problems – they need a very wide unit that is not very deep. The external body is very wide (624mm) but the depth of the stove is a shallow (318mm). The Vista 900 also has a twin layer construction; the inner layer has been tapered in at the sides, making the fire box slightly smaller and therefore reducing the potential heat output. The widest point of the firebox is still 500mm wide, meaning large logs are not a problem for this stove!
About
This advanced wood burning stove has been designed by our sister company Ecosy+ of Hampshire and incorporates all the best bits from their current model range. Having sold tens of thousands of stoves, Ecosy+ has utilised all they have learned to create a reliable, stylish and efficient stove. Used by Stove World members, this Vista 900 ticks all the boxes for style, performance and usability.
Features on this stove far exceed models that cost north of £1500. Its huge heat-resistant ceramic glass front gives an uninterrupted view of the fire which is on the tick list of almost every stove buyer. The hidden gem of this stove is its internal shell – effectively another stove inside the stove – where air is drawn in from the stove’s rear, fed between two layers of steel and precisely dispersed over the fire through a series of holes inside the chamber. Having the air introduced high up in the chamber is an effective way of re-burning the initial smoke and pollutants created by the fire. The air that is not dispersed through these holes speeds up as it rises over the fire and is released like a curtain of air over the glass, helping it to keep clean and clear of smoke stains.
The Vista 900 is a wood burning only stove therefore does not require a multi-fuel grate or ash pan, as wood loves to burn on the base. The stove is however lined with thick 30mm vermiculite boards that protect the stoves shell and its internal steel baffle is removable for sweeping. To the side of the fire is a discrete machine turned dial that gives an incredibly accurate degree of control over the fire, with a simple twist. The Hampton vista 900 has a beautifully shaped cast iron door that frames the fire within. This one of the best looking stoves that we sell and looks amazing lit! This model includes the very popular, cool to touch brushed handle that is solid and stylish. As with all parts of the Hampton, they are well designed and engineered but not over-complicated. Too often stoves have over-complicated systems that do not stand the test of time and can be incredibly expensive and complicated to fix. We are so confident of the stoves quality, we offer a 7 year warranty.
Heat Output Range
The Vista 900 has a 7kw nominal output, however it benefits from a 5kw to 10kw range, meaning this stove can be suitable for a large number of spaces from medium to the rather large. (Output range numbers are rounded up)
7 Year Guarantee
(This covers the stove’s body and not the internal perishable parts like grates and fire bricks). Guarantee is activated when the stove is invoiced. 6 digit number on the top of each invoice is the warranty number. For stove to be covered it must be installed by a HETAS engineer or signed off by building control.
Overnight Burn
The Ecosy+ Vista has an excellent overnight burn system. Its airtight door gaskets and manually-controlled air flow controls allow you to close the stove right down overnight and wake up to a warm house in the morning. All you will need to do is reopen the air controls, add a little wood and watch the fire roar again. Please note that an overnight burn can take time to master and relies heavily on the fuel being burnt. Please also note that you can only achieve this if you are able to remove the DEFRA stop! To remove the Defra stop on this unit you need to undo the Allen key thread in the centre of the bar which runs across the base of the fire.
Stove Construction
The Vista 900 is a “hybrid” stove and its body is constructed from quality Q235B carbon steel, that has been chosen for its plasticity, toughness and weldability. The door is made from very thick mineral cast iron that helps retain the heat and slowly release it into the room. Having a cast iron door also enables us to add features like the shallow curves on the top and bottom. The internal lining is vermiculite and these are easy to change. The stove weighs over 120kg.
