Bliss
I cant believe how easy Mr Stoves made it for us to install our new Regency Bellerive, we are absolutely loving the sleek look of the fire as well as the ease of use. Heats the whole open plan living area. I cannot be happier with the product and service

Regret buying it!
I had read a lot of mixed reviews about this wood heater and thought maybe the problems wouldn't happen to me. I was WRONG. The noisy fan & vibrating noise is a pain and this was from the start. It began as soon as I bought it last year. I contacted the installer who was supposed to come and check it out but never heard from him again. I've left yet another message today for him as well as the retailer. I should've heeded the warnings I read.

At least it hasn't burnt the house down.
We really took our time deciding on which inbuilt wood heater to replace the deathtrap that was installed in our early 19th century home, and boy did we make the wrong decision. In the end we chose the Bellerive because it had a neat moderately-modern apperance, and a huge glass door with which to watch the flames dance about. Honestly though, it took about a month to realise that is was an absolute pile of rubbish. It started with the fan. As many others have stated, is is LOUD. And despite the manufacturer bulletins suggesting methods to quie
... Read moret it down, no amount of padding, prodding or pushing can hide that fact that its long single-barrell design is truly awful; cheap and nasty. The fan unit attaches to the facia at the top of the fan unit only, and given that it's a cheap barrell fan, there is simply no way to stop the vibrations; even if one were to 'pin' it to the fireplace, the vibrations would rattle the picture off your mantlepiece. The second issue we've noticed is the amount of smoke that blows out the door when loading more wood is not insignificant. Again this is a fault of the design, the floor of the heater is too high up, and the ceiling is too low down. No other heater I've used (not even the afrementioned death-trap) have suffered this issue when a good clean burn is in progress. From birth, I have always lived in homes with wood heaters. I know how to use them. Thre third issue is the quality of the facia. A few hot coals, and she's toast. More pock-marks than a teenagers face. So, after 5 or 6 years of use, we're on the market for a new heater again.

Can heat my house to 32° while it's 5° outside
Ok so reading others reviews that this doesn't throw out enough heat is laughable, because the box is so big if you really crank it and have decent quality wood you easily overheat every room in the house.
I have a 180sqm 4x2 and I have seriously measured 32° inside while it was 5° outside.
The slow combustion is also great, it easily manages 10 hrs overnight when I wake up can put more logs on, not to mention the tiled floors throughout the living room are cosy warm to walk on in the morning
Hate it poor design
Very noisy fan, very poor design as embers can drop out and fall down in-between firebox and plate under door and then they get into fan and it blows hot lit embers out vent, extremely dangerous as it could burn the house down. We absolutely hate it we wish we bought another Coonara instead. Also doesn't throw the heat out like the old Coonara did which had 3 fan speeds whereas the Regency only has 2. The Coonara also has the ash drawer that you could empty out which the Regency doesn't. If we could afford to get rid of this poor design of a wood heater we would.

Regency Bellerive
We purchased a Regency Bellerive May 2022. Looks great and performs really well. We have an open Lounge/Dining/Kitchen area with exposed roof trusses, so a large area to warm. The Lounge room where the heater is located warms up nicely, Kitchen/Dining not so much heat that you feel in your face, but the whole area is certainly a large number of degrees warmer than if it wasn't there. Step outside and see how much warmer it is inside. It does take some time to 'bed in' when new, do it properly and there won't be any problems. Had smoke

The salesman was very knowledgeable and installer knew exactly what he was to do. After our recommendation, my brother purchased a similar heat for his home, which he is very happy with. We recommend Mr Stoves for your next purchase.Author stated being incentivised for this review
looks great but doesn't heat the room well
Have had the wood heater for a couple of months now and it looks great and is outputting some heat but no where near what I would expect. Was told that the heat would not only heat the room but down the hallway by the seller but I don't feel the heat from 4 meters away

Heat good durability not good
Heater will heat the house but the baffle has distorted and the fan will only last one season and the need replacing very disappointing. I am looking at replacing this unit.

More heat from a box of matches
Actually reviewing its little brother the Berwick, in a nut shell, looks good - the reason I bought one was to replace my 25 year old Hartford series 80....decided to keep that and sold the Berwick unused, which I later installed for the client in a new build. Rated to heat 180 m2, it would struggle to heat a toilet, just does not perform, the fan is noisy and asthmatic, burns wood but produces virtually no heat, had a specialist to look at it, his words were, they either perform or don’t and nobody knows why!.....not recommended

Good customer service
I published a bad review last week. Regency contacted me and offered advice, assistance. Very impressed about their commitment and response. Good Reason why you should buy locally made products

Looks Good - but very loud vibrating fan - cannot hear the TV
It looks great but the vibration of the fan is so loud we cannot hear the TV and that is on the low setting. It seems that this is a manufacturing problem as many of the reviews report the same problem.
