Review of Prity FG W15

TERRIBLE

Alex 15 years ago

I'm 'prity' sure the previous review was written by a seller.

I have unfortunately had experience of the prity stoves.

The airwash air inlet is permanently open (at the top of the door) and the doors do not have a rope seal. This meant that the fire was totally uncontrollable and the stove glowed red! It went through a lot of wood very quickly, there's no way you could say it burnt overnight, hardly even for an hour.

Some models don't even have a properly formed door at all, just a flat sheet of steel.

Cheap but overpriced!

Stove expert replied: the main importer for these stoves has commented that this stove does in fact have rope seals on the doors.
