Yes, ours has been good to us. I've put in a few drum bushings and have replaced the heating element, but that's about it. Can't justify spending money to replace it.

Growing up, we would primarily heat the house with a wood burning stove. During the summer, the cats loved that stove because it was a nice cool slab for them to relax on (no A/C). Usually, once a year during one of the first few times of running the stove one of the cats would make the mistake of jumping up on it... But that's all it took. Once. After that, they'd lay in front of it on the tile that surrounded the stove.
