I bought a Richmond bio fire made in China and what poor quality it is.
Having worked with the white goods industry I am knowledgeable in quality control BS5750 and ISO 2000 standards.
I have identified the following poor qualities with this product.
Powder coating for white goods (refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, and ovens) generally requires a precise, uniform, and durable finish, typically ranging from 60 to 100 microns (2.4 to 4.0 mils) in dry film thickness. This thickness provides the necessary balance of chemical resistance, scratch protection, and aesthetic appeal required for daily household use. I have used a micron tester and found the paint thickness to be well below the minimum standards.
The uneven door to glass fit varies from 2 mm to 12 mm, very badly made.
The fire is extinguished by a sliding plate which switches off the oxygen supply, however this very poorly manufactured plate has gaps which means that the fire does not extinguish when it should. This is a potential dangerous hazard.
This quality of this appliance if far below what I would expect a reputable manufacturer.
