The Vogue Slimline stove may be relatively new to the market but it has already caught the attention of stove enthusiasts. At first glance the stove looks fairly basic in shape and design but this hides the latest in combustion technology. For many people it is the enlarged viewing area which is most eye-catching, allowing you to watch the flickering flames and the burning embers. However, as we review the Vogue Slimline stove you will realise it offers much more.
Perfect for small to medium-sized rooms
The nominal heat output of the Vogue Slimline stove comes in at 5 kW (2.5 kW up to 7 kW) which is more than enough to heat a small to medium-sized room. It could be tucked away in a corner, creating a soft soothing heat, or centre stage and a conversation starter for your guests. The design is so, well basic is the wrong word, but it almost looks contemporary as much as it looks traditional. It really is in the eye of the beholder. There is also the opportunity to add a log store to the bottom of your stove to save you venturing out on those cold winter evenings.
Tech spec of the Vogue Slimline stove
The fact that the Vogue Slimline stove is available in both wood-burning and multifuel varieties is the first thing to mention. So, if you want to stick with traditional wood fuel or mix wood and solid fuel the choice is yours. To all intents and purposes they are the same stove with some minor adjustments therefore the look and feel remains constant. The efficiency rating of this particular model comes in at 80% which compares well with modern day stoves. When you consider that an open coal fire is between 20% and 30% efficient, this puts it into perspective.
The machine itself has a width of 525 mm, height 624 mm with the wood-burning option boasting a depth of 426 mm and the multi-fuel just 363 mm. The Vogue Slimline stove weighs in at 98 kg which is not really too heavy compared to other stoves. Due to the cleanburn combustion system the stove has been put forward for use in smoke control areas and Stovax currently await confirmation from the authorities. The airwash system is very simple but also very effective and ensures that the glass viewing panel is clear at all times.

With an optional midline wood store base, plinth and external air kit, it is fair to say that the Vogue Slimline stove has all angles covered. The multifuel stove is already Ecodesign Friendly despite the fact that the new regulations do not come in until 2022. This ensures that the Vogue Slimline stove is well ahead of new regulations and therefore well set for the future.
Summary
While Stovax has been relatively quiet in recent times, the last few months have seen the market hit with a new wave of attention grabbing stoves which are fuelling consumer trends. The ability to incorporate the latest combustion technology within a relatively traditional style should not be overlooked. Also, the company has managed to accommodate the latest consumer demands for enlarged viewing areas, with the Vogue Slimline stove the latest in a growing line. Subtly eye-catching, traditional or contemporary depending upon your view, accommodating the latest technology, there is no doubt that the Vogue Slimline stove is yet another winner from Stovax stoves.
