Review of Tiger stove

poor quality

Leslie Pankhurst 12 years ago

Had this tiger stove for 3 years, serviced reg, on replacing the door rope,the bolts that hold the glass in place snapped when I tried to undo them, the door needs replacing at great cost,also the door will not come off the stove, would not recommend this item. I thought it should last longer than 3 years, also the stove bricks are poor quality and expensive to replace, all in all would recommend you buy a good quality stove.

Stove expert replied: Spares are always expensive on any stove by comparison to the initial price paid. Door clip screws can and do sheer off, especially if you do not apply something like WD40 for a good long while before attempting to undo them. I would have drilled them out and retapped the hole rather than buying a whole new door.
