Review of Burley Hollywell 9105 stove

A Transforming Purchase

Ian 11 years ago

We bought a Burley Hollywell last week and were lucky enough to get it installed for Xmas, and what a transformation it has made. We have a 3 storey terraced house and since starting it up, the central heating has been off. The amount of heat it pumps out is truly astonishing, so much so that an ecofan will be the next purchase, to spread the heat around a little more. The design is understated, very easy to use and a fantastic addition to the family. It is sometimes a risk buying a product that has not been on the market long, especially when it is new technology. However, everything about this woodburner screams quality, from the wooden handles that negate the need for a cloth or gloves to handle it, to the simple but very effective choke venting system.

We have taken some time to decide on having a woodburner, but it was definately worth the wait.
