Review of Stovax Riva 55 stove

Stovax riva 55

We replaced a Jetmaster Fire with the Riva 55. We had the chimney lined.

I find the stove easy to light and I can keep the glass entirely clean. In fact it's difficult to tell that there's glass there when the stove is burning well.

My fuel consumption has reduced massively and the warmth in the living room is fantastic.

The stove also produces great flame effects - it's better than TV!
