Scandia Edge

Unit purchased to fit into exsiting open fire place. Flue system with exisiting chimney works perfectly however there is insufficient air flowing into the unit to allow wood to burn. No principal air flow and secondary air flow (open/close valve)… Read more
has not affect whatsoever. Spent good money to get an experienced licensed installer in (after having an enormous amount of difficulty trying to locate one in Brisbane) Everything pulled apart and put back to gether and still no success. Fire burns fine when the door is open and flames disappear shortly after closing the door. Smoke an issue and my chimney and flue system is clean. Complete lack of air to the box. $1300 plus installer wasted money. Telephoning scandia and bunnings was most unhelpful. Anyone want a brand new wood burner. No recommendation from me. Most disappointing!!
Follow-up · After a prompt follow up email from Skandia and assessment of the product for our fire place it became obvious that insufficient airflow (with out the legs because we do not have room) meant it was the wrong product for our site. Unfortunately we received some poor advice from the retailer. we will look to sell the product on market place for a big reduced price and go back to our open fire.
I'm honestly surprised by the poor reviews. My Edge 70 does an excellent job heating our large open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, it's around 400m³ and it gets too hot at times! The unit was already installed when we bought the house eight years ago, and it's been solid ever since. It takes large bits of wood easily and only has two… Read more · 1
settings, hot and medium, there isn’t a low setting so you can't choke it down to last all night. Unless you load it up just before bed, there’s usually not much left burning by morning. That said, the two settings do produce noticeably different burn rates.
One issue I’ve noticed is a fair amount of smoke leakage when starting the fire, like with the door wide open and trying to get the fire started. I’m not sure if that’s normal or if the flue just doesn’t draw properly until it heats up.
Also, the door attachment/arm that holds it open broke, but I contacted Scandia and they responded quickly letting me know where I could get order a replacement. I’ll fix it as soon as someone inevitably burns my current makeshift door holder that looks suspiciously like a bit of kindling.
I've added a few pics, one has a can for scale (no I'm not American, I just love Dr Pepper I don't get it a lot and thats the only can I had on hand) and in the can pic you can see the offending silver hinge/arm that no longer auto locks open, behind the bucket peaking out is my trusty door keeper opener that I jam in the silver arm.
Anyway, I know they are not making these anymore but I wanted to put my 2 bobs in.
Do not Purchase Scandia - Customer Service Nil – Baffling broke / disintegrated in fireplace during first season of use. Bunnings were good enough to replace, but it broke again and I am advised it is dangerous to use without the baffling. Spoke to customer service who advised it was my responsibility to repair although it has not been working properly from first season, they would send out… Read more
new baffling as a courtesy - but it was never received. Do not purchase this fireplace - no response to complaint of fault. Will be taking it to the ombudsman if not resolved.

Nice if you don’t need it to heat the house – The smoke sometimes even comes out of the unit with the door closed and we couldn’t rely on it to keep us warm living in the hills. It looks lovely but more suited to a nice ambiance than relying on it to heat the room. Show details
