The good gas stove.

I received the kitchen quickly and it arrived very well packaged. Quality stainless steel, the oven is large and includes two trays and a grill. The upper burners are powerful and the electric ignition is amazing. Installation is simple (like all kitchens). My boat is a 32-footer from 1981 and the galley has greatly improved the interior appearance and has added comfort to the boat. 100% recommendable.

Our original model mounted by BAVARIA is similar in size. Over time we saw a slow degradation of the product. The brass burners have worn out and eventually no longer carried properly on the support. This resulted in a loss of yield and the blackening of pans due to imperfect combustion. Then over time we noticed that the big fire tended to go out randomly. Today the thermocouple no longer works and only one light can be used.
Of course, there are spare parts. But the pan-holder grid was decarburized by poor combustion. It would have to be changed in the same way with the pipes of the burners on which the brass parts rest. In the end, all the spare parts needed represent 50% of the new price and still without the grill!!! In addition, there is no certainty of being able to disassemble and reassemble the gas stove with the guarantee of safe operation. Hence a pure and simple replacement. The first lasted 20 years. We'll see for the second. We note that the burner system is no longer made in the same way. Let's just hope it ages better. I noticed that the transport cost is quite different from what SVB had accustomed us to. It's the bad surprise. It remains to receive the package and install it. With identical dimensions, this should be done without problem. Maybe you just have to buy the connection fitting to do it.

Although we have its predecessor (without the ignition) the Techimpex has proven to be a very well built stove oven.

I replaced the old Optimus. The same dimensions and there was no need to change the installation. Good quality, except for the screw cap of the battery, which for some reason had too big a diameter in the cap. Gluing took care of it.

Perfect, fast delivery and works perfectly

Detailed design, - there is even a comfortable adjustment possibility with which one can move the suspension point of the gimbal to a certain extent. Unfortunately, this setting is not 100% fixed which in practice but probably not a problem (the test with more Seegang still stands out) Everything from stainless steel in very high-quality processing, so I have reasoned hope that this model lasts longer than the predecessor

In the Internet, the brand Techimpex did not have good reviews, which I can not understand so far. The stove is OK. I bought it because of the large stove, since the traditional French brands only supply small ovens. A bit expensive but makes a good impression. When the grill is switched on, the oven door remains open, which is missing in the German manual, which is somewhat deficient. The original operating instructions are somewhat opaque. I use a pizza oven in the oven to spread the heat a little better. The hearth is good, and with the stove we must still make our way.

I live on my sailboat seven months a year and cook a lot (and well, it is said). The stove is great, easy to regulate and clean. And he looks very professional. To consider, however, is the choice of pot size, if you want to use all three flames at the same time - the space is naturally just as large as the two-burner stove. A weak point is the oven door arrester He is bent so that it acts like a spring, and punched out that the punched hole holds behind a hook. In the hole punching remains in sheet but only 2 x 1mm material stand - a breaking point !! My oven door arrester just survived the warranty period, no, let's face it three seasons.

Nice but slow shipping, underneath having a central fire you must then put a diffuser to avoid having too much heat in the center

From Italy you can expect the best, or the worse. This one is in the middle and a little overpriced, while still better overall than the French models in my opinion.
In my case this was a replacement of my old American Seaward Princess. Be aware that this stove is smaller than American models and requires some adaptation.
It lacks stainless side protections.

I have now been using this stow for about a year, and I am very disappointed by the poor quality.
After having used the oven a couple of times, the plates got so buckled that they are very difficult to get in and out of the oven.
The 3 burners started out to burn perfectly, but only after a few months use, they burn a lot less even, and this spring when I turned on the gas after having not used the stow during the winter, one of the burner valves has stop working, so I only have 2 usable burners.
This stow is by far the worst thing I ever has purchased for my boat.
