Nectre Mk2 LE

- Airslide at bottom off the door is only held on by 2 screws from the back and is super loose.
- Airslide doesn't allow you to stop airflow.

I know the new emissions laws have forced manufacturers to change the design of their heaters so that they can't be completely shut down..

Has anyone made any modifications to reverse what they have changed.. It's frustrating having to re light the fire every morning....

We used the The Nectre Mk2 as in insert for our old fireplace, just cut the legs to suit the opening and works a treat. We have had this wood heater for 4 years now not just for heating but for cooking as well and are very happy with its performance, plus its Australian made.

We bought a Nectre Mk2 nearly seven years ago and it has done a fabulous job of heating our old, very draughty weatherboard farm house. It runs 24/7 through the winter. The baffle has warped but not to the point of needing replacement yet. All other components are still in great condition. We've had no rusting or glass breaking issues that other people have complained of. We do replace the door seal every 1-2 years which makes a big difference to the fuel efficiency.

Had my nectre for 16 months. Got home and glass door is cracked from one corner to the next. Called the purchase place they said it could’ve been the heat...hmmm or a stone in the wood that exploded.. again hmm??? No warranty touch luck. $135 to replace glass $80 to install not happy jan!!

We have had our LE 2 for 17 years. We have burnt all sorts of rubbish wood in it. We have to replace baffles and the lugs burnt off but this is due to using unseasoned wood and old pallets and is no reflection of the quality. We are so excited by the release of the Big Bakers Oven and this will be our replacement heater when we are ready to replace our current one.

We had our Nectre M2 installed in our new home for 4 weeks. We placed a log in the fire box. It rolled forward and cracked the glass. We contacted our supplier and Nectre directly and were told basically it was bad luck. Not covered by Warranty. Cost us over $100 to replace

My nectre mk2 heats our house really well especially if I have really seasoned hard wood. We often even have to really turn the heat down when using redgum that I have left over from the retaining wall we replaced.

However we have had 2 major issues so far and the unit is only 1 year old. We had the door replaced as the cast iron began to peel within 6 months. Now I have noticed that the firebox is already rusty and the baffle plates are peeling. I'm waiting to hear from Nectre about what they are going to do.

I bought a Mk2 3 years ago. After one year the baffle plate dropped out because the lugs that hold it on had burned away. The brick retainer lasted only one year and steel has been flaking away at the back of the box. I believe this is poor quality.

I bought a Nectre MkII in Jan 2002 based on my experience with a Nectre Baker's Oven and a review of one by an architect.

Whilst it is an efficient heater the quality of finish and its durability detracted from my overall experience.

The door is slightly warped (from the get go) and leaves a small gap between it and the face of the heater.

The heater began to rust within the first few years. Great patches of metal drop off on the inside. The door, hinges, and flue collar have all progressively rusted.

The initial fan inside the unit was subject of a product recall. I only found out about this by chance (Google search). I was not advised by Nectre.

I would not buy this brand again.
