Dont buy one !
We have a Masport Belvedere wood heater, it was in the house when we bought it.
The cast iron diffuser broke & rendered the fire unusable.
The part was duly ordered from their Perth distributor.
8 months & a string of broken promises later, their latest in a long line of promises, is in a couple of months.
So having bought our years supply of wood, its now spring & we've also paid all the electricity bills for heating through out the winter.
It's a good job we had alternate heating.
Yes look nice when new, but the backup & spares service is appalling, in fact non existent.
I've come to the conclusion, it's going to be an expensive throwaway item, as they don't seem to provide parts at all.
Disgusting.

Every household shoud have one
Every household should have a wood fire chimney I have saved hundreds of dollars using a wood fire during winter no expensive electricity bills turning on fans heaters and air conditioning all you need is wood and that's it. Keeps the whole house warm. The only thing i would have to say is that you would have to clean the house every couple of days because of the soot. But its an exception when you are saving so much money on gas and electricity bills. I even back potatoes in it. Wrap a whole potato in foil throw it in for half hour. Yummy.

Glad I did'nt listen too the missus and got a Wood Heater!
Awesome heater. Generates much better quality heat than other sources. Heater and hearth still remains warm long after the fire goes out. Have an old fashioned steel kettle on top for hot water for the wife's tea and nothing better than drinking beer, watching the footy next to the fire!

The Masport belvedere is so perfectly designed, it is not to be left without praise & recommendation . The internal design inherit, air circulation achieved without fan of electricity is absolutely superb . the engineer who made it happen is blessed . I wish to know and make known his name .

Wouldn't be without it
Very pleased with my masport heater. Works like a dream and heats the house in no time. The easy clean ash pan is a godsend. It makes it a pleasure to do the chore. The only regret is not buying the bigger model . Thats only because my wood supply is on the large size. I have recommended them to others and 2 people have bought them and are just as pleased with them too.

Excellent wood heater, very happy with my purchase
I have found this heater to be excellent, using less wood and staying hotter longer than my old heater, would highly recommend this model heater. The price of the masport heater was very competitive also compared to other brands. I am a very happy with my purchase and wouldn't hesitate in getting another in the future.

Great for small area
Perfect for a small area however, it does not push out a great deal of heat with the fan. Looks stylish and looks great in our home. The area for the wood storage is actually not ideal as it looks. At this stage we are happy with our purchase. Yes I do recommend this.

Top Notch wood heater.
I installed a Masport Wood Heater in 1997 and i am still using it, In winter the house is cosy, warm and with lots of cheer, The beauty about this heater is that it is very easy to maintain in to good working order, Cutting the wood for it is another story.

Great WoodHeater
Great wood heater, extremely happy with the purchase. I was using a split system for heating but wanted to go back to the old fashion fire place. It heats the whole house whilst looking good and very functional. I would highly recommend for people to purchase the masport and good value for money also.

Good little Woodheater
If it wasn't for the nightmare we had with installation and after sales service, we probably would have enjoyed the first winter a whole lot better!
We purchased the R1500 woodstacker version and it does a great job in our single storey, 3brm home. Clean burn, uses around 5 - 7 logs a night, and warms the living areas nicely. The other rooms are a little cooler, but that makes it easier to climb into a thick doona.
After 1 year, Have noticed the top loosing its paint. Will contact manufacturer and update post on outcome.

Good Little Performer
Never having had a Wood heater before this was a whole new Experience for me, our Heat pump just couldn't keep up with a Tasmanian Winter anymore and with Electricity prices going up and up, we decided since we have to pay money to keep warm, I'd rather give my cash to a small local wood supplier, than a greed Electricity Company! So I started by trying to figure out do I need a Radiant or Convection Heater, so after doing a lot of Research I decided to get a Heater that did both, The R1500 leans more towards the Radiant heat output in it's "ou...Read more
t of the Box" form, but I upgraded the Heater with the optional Fan kit which gives me Equal parts Radiant and Convection Heating. overall the Finish of the Heater is nice and solid, The Manual suggest loading Timber front to rear, but this is bit impractical as the Firebox isn't that deep, so we load timber left to right and diagonal with no problems so far, We are heating a open plan Living/Dining/Kitchen Area (Approx 90 Square Meters) and so far it has made those 3 Areas quite comfy and warm. I would prefer a different location for the Fan switch as it is on the left hand side of the base, quite close to the firebox, so you have to be careful when reaching to turn it on or off you don't burn your arm on the hot side. It's a nice and compact Heater that is very neat and tidy. my only other complaint is the Manual for the fan is useless, it is very vague with only 1 or 2 suggestions of use, might be fine for an experienced user, but for someone like myself and the wife it is a bit of a guessing game. but overall we are very happy with our purchase. We had the Heater professionally installed with an Approved Triple skin Flue Kit. Compact, best of both worlds for Heating (both Convection and Radiant) Poor Fan Switch Placement, Instruction Manual are vague for optional Fan Kit.1 comment

Hi Peter, Unfortunately The Hardware Shed in Grafton no longer supplies the Masport product. Your closest Masport stockist appears to be BBQs Galore Coffs Harbour. The phone number is 02 6643 1055. They should be able to assist with Masport pricing.

I don't understand how Product Review placed this is Electric Heating (Mind you, they don't have a Wood Heating area) but this is Wood Heater NOT Electric.
