Many stove enthusiasts we speak to like the idea of a traditional looking multifuel stove which hides the latest in combustion technology and efficiency. It is fair to say that the ACR Rowandale stove ticks all of the boxes. So, what should you expect when you unwrap your ACR Rowandale stove?<\/p>\n<h2>Design of the ACR Rowandale stove<\/h2>\n<p>As we touched on above, this particular stove offers a traditional look and feel while hiding the latest in stove technology. For many it is the panoramic door with the extended viewing area which brings this particular model to life. You can watch the flickering flames and the burning embers from a distance as you relax and slowly drift off to sleep. Thankfully this particular model also has a very powerful airwash system which ensures that the glass viewing area remains clean and clear at all times.<!--more--><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1667\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1667\" style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowlandstoves.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/rowandale-2-320.jpg\" alt=\"ACR Rowandale Stove\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bowlandstoves.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/rowandale-2-320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.bowlandstoves.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/rowandale-2-320-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bowlandstoves.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/rowandale-2-320-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1667\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ACR Rowandale Stove<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The dimensions of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowlandstoves.co.uk\/acatalog\/Rowandale-Stove.html\">ACR Rowandale<\/a> stove come in at height 575 mm, width 555 mm with a depth of 370 mm and weighing in at 105 kg. While the traditional matt black colour is the more popular there is a choice of enamel finishes in buttermilk, gloss black or majolica brown. While you will pay a little extra for the enamel finishes it is well worth it!<\/p>\n<h2>Heat output and efficiency<\/h2>\n<p>The ACR Rowandale stove is classed as a 5 kW stove with a heat range of 3.5 kW up to 7.5 kW. The efficiency rating comes in at a respectable 74.4% gross and 81.8% net although the fact you can use it in smoke controlled areas is a major bonus for many people. DEFRA approval is now the Holy Grail of the stove industry as politicians continue to crackdown on air pollution. When a company applies and receives what can be relatively expensive DEFRA approval you know they mean business with their new stove.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1668\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowlandstoves.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Rowandale_2_low_res.jpg\" alt=\"ACR Rowandale Review\" width=\"792\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bowlandstoves.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Rowandale_2_low_res.jpg 792w, https:\/\/www.bowlandstoves.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Rowandale_2_low_res-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bowlandstoves.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Rowandale_2_low_res-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bowlandstoves.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Rowandale_2_low_res-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.bowlandstoves.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Rowandale_2_low_res-667x500.jpg 667w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>This particular model is perfect for heating a small to medium sized room and would even take the chill off a larger room. The latest in stove combustion systems means that hot fumes created in the initial stages are re-burnt to create yet more heat. This assists with the impressive efficiency rating and also reduces emissions.<\/p>\n<h2>At home in any situation<\/h2>\n<p>There are not many stoves you can suggest for a traditional or contemporary style room but the ACR Rowandale stove tends to go against the rule. Whether you are looking for a subtle but strong centrepiece or something which remains relatively well hidden until fired up, the choice is yours. As we touched on above, the expanded viewing area is a major plus point for the ACR Rowandale stove and those who like to sit back and enjoy the relaxing experience of watching solid fuel and wood burn.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>ACR stoves are certain extremely popular across the UK and the ACR Rowandale stove continues to maintain this trend. This 5 kW machine is at home in any environment, boasts impressive efficiency ratings and has the look and feel of an old-style stove while hiding the latest technology. Whether looking at durability, quality, efficiency or value for money, we believe that the ACR Rowandale stove ticks all the boxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When putting together this ACR Rowandale Review we realised it can be tricky to know where to start with such a small but powerful, traditional but eye-catching multifuel stove.
