Blaze B900
Very disappointing
I hesitated so long but last year finally decided to change a very old heater that still heated my home beautifully but was churning out wood too fast and no longer safe. My local dealer advised me to buy a Blaze B900. By buying a brand new heater I was hoping: it would heat my house well (not a big house, just the usual 3 bedroom, one bathroom, open kitchen/lounge/dining), it would be more wood efficient and it would smoke less. I have found this device seriously wanting. It doesn't even heat the main room well, unless I am seated right in fro...
Read morent of it, or unless the fan is on max, making a deafening sound, unbearable. I have gone through 150 dollars' worth of wood in a little over a month, winter has hardly started!! I told my dealer and he said I wasn't filling the box well. I find the box is so small compared to my old one. So many pieces of standard wood pieces don't even fit unless I hack them myself. Choose a better brand!
Purchased in July 2022 for $1,700.

Disappointed
I can’t say we are entirely happy with our blaze B900, same as everyone else’s problem it’s smokes our house out. It was installed at the end of winter 2017 in the August, and today started it for the first time since last winter and the fan isn’t working, rang for a price $300 for fan or $200 for remote control plus the service call, not happy when you work out how much use we got out of it. Plus it doesn’t heat the whole house

A dreadful design that is all looks and no performance
I am trying to heat about 250 square metres or was trying to until I realized the heater was not up to it. The fire box is small and the only air inlets are at the top. It was also lined with fire bricks that severely restrict the size of wood you can fit. If you put large pieces of wood in the fire just dies before the wood is burnt. To run it you need to use relatively small pieces of wood and keep loading it all night, leaving plenty of gaps so the wood burns. I am using mixed hardwood that has been dried 2 years minimum. If I really want to...
Read more zoom it up I add some pine. I can get it so hot you cannot touch the handles but the heat generation is not enough. It has an inbuilt fan which has 3 speeds, noisy, very noisy and unbearably noisy, but it does not seem to push out much air. I have a 6 star home with argon filled double glazed windows so it should not take a lot to heat. I took out the fire bricks but the fire box is still too shallow to do a lot with. If you try running it overnight it turns the wood to charcoal and cannot run all night no matter what you do. I have given up trying to heat the house overnight and turn on the reverse cycle heater. The glass does stay relatively clean. I would never recommend this to anyone. It is the third wood heater I have owned and the worst by a big margin. I am planning to replace it over summer even though though it is less than a year old. DO NOT BUY ONE.
Purchased in October 2018 at My builder fitted it to my new house. for $2,700.

Blaze b900
This fire looks great, and heats our house effectively. Its fan seems to jig up to medium or high speed automatically which can be quite noisy for watching the tv. You can turn fan off to resolve though.
Purchased in February 2017.

Smoke
Smokes inside the house sooo much. We bought it for the big box and window but it is unusable because the house instantly smells when you open the door to load another log. Worst purchase ever

Such a bad investment
Heater is a bad design.
1. It smokes inside home a lot
2. It puts out 50% heat of any other heater
3. You cannot have the heater run in high for more than 10 minutes.
4. The baffle size is half the size of comparable ones, hence, if you run it high, you will see your flue metal getting red hot.
5. Chews lot of wood.
6. Doesnt fit the purpose
Dont even waste your money on this.

Questions & Answers
I'm having trouble with the B800, its having trouble pulling and just keeps smoking. I have tried the flue at different heights and even had the baffle plate out but doesn't seem to want to draw
Hi Alex, Wood Fires will act differently when the fluing is cold or warm or hot, different fuel will also have an affect in regards to smoking. Please let me know if it is smoking when the fluing is h...

Hi, Im planning to buy the Blaze B820 inbuilt until I saw bad review on the Blaze fireplaces.
Can anyone please tell me if the Blaze B820 is a good fireplace, no smoking issues, baffle, or noisy issues??
I would be worried if that would be the case. Looking forward to hearing from any experts and users. Thanks!
Hey there! Did you end up buying the Blaze B820? I’m thinking of buying it, but I’m struggling to find reviews. Your feedback would be welcome.
Hello, I’m just wondering if you purchased the blaze b829? I’d love to hear your feedback if possible.
Hello
Yes i bought the blaxe B820.
My feedback so far:...
My model smokes everytime I open the door to add fuel. With a newborn on the way I've had to just stop using it. I believe this is a manufacturing problem but the company says they fixed the issues with the old model and the smoke issue is not a problem with the current one. Can anyone else tell me if they've bought a recent model and it smokes into their home? Trying to seek a removal and a refund so that I haven't thrown away my money and can afford a better heat source this winter.
As below - we purchase ours in feb 2017 (which I believe is the new design?) and have had consistent issues despite multiple strategies (opening door as you suggest, extending our flu, reversing our h...
Read moreeat transfer system to 'blow' air into the room and create positive pressure - non of which seemed to work). I hope you find a solution - please let me know if you do!ADDIT; GlenDimplex (supplier of Blaze fires) also supply Masport and other heaters which don't seem to have this issue - perhaps they would consider an exchange to a different model seen as your fire is essentially brand new?
