Stove fans
Is an Ecofan worth three times the price?

A tick means one listing published something the other did not, or published a better figure. It does not mean the product is better, and the column is not a score out of anything: a maker who says less loses lines here without losing a comparison. The two verdicts below are where the page is settled.
Choose the Ecofan for a stated airflow, a name and spare parts.
Choose the VODA for value.
Not necessarily. Only a tested CFM figure tells you.
No method is given for either.

The price beside each product is fetched as this page opens, and it is the only figure here that is current. Any amount written into the prose was read once, on the day that sentence was written, and nothing has refreshed it since.
