I own a Hudson River Niagra. It is a decent stove with a great easy access design. I really like how easy it is to get inside the stove, just open the sides, they are hinged and held shut by magnets, and you are good to go.The unit seems to be well built and I like the clean, neat way the wires and such are installed.
The hopper just barely holds a full bag of pellets, so I would doubt the claim of being able to hold 55 lbs. I burn a bag of pellets in about 15 - 17 hours on low, with the stove constantly running. I can't see how it would ever burn for 50 hours with out a thermostat to switch it on and off. Also be aware that it is far from whisper quiet, more like having 2 refridgerators running. If you are sensitive to noise you may not be happy. I have not had the stove long enough to comment on it's dependablity yet. But I have burned 10 bags so far and it does throw great heat.
