Review of Riva 66 Multi-fuel Fire

Riva 66 inset

Dennis Shemwell 12 years ago

Fire is lit every day during winter, so used quite a extensively in winter,

Parts are very expensive, every year I have to replace a part that fits in the top of the fire costing £100.00 a time, fire bricks crack, some welds have popped apart, every few weeks you have to dismantle the fire to clean debris off the plates, if not they burn away even quicker, the fire is only three years old and cannot see it lasting another three years, I would not buy the same product again,,,,

Stove expert replied: Have you had the flue draw checked as parts should not be wearing our so quickly that they need replacing every year.
