When i go into the local dealer that has alot of pellet stoves to choose from, i have had 3 different sales people steer me toward these stove made in Italy.

I have to admit, they look nice, and you cannot hear them run, very quiet, but i dont think they have been out that long..here in North America.. here is there web site

I have a Piazzetta Sabrina. So, what's your question? How long they've been here? I dunno, but it seems like people started posting in 2012 about Piazzettas, so I'm guessing they've been here 2 seasons. I bought mine in November.

The Sabrina is the larger of the two models my dealer had available, 47k btu, and they also have a smaller Monia, 37k btu. They both have a majolica option, which strangely changes their name. Here in Maine, the Sabrina seemed the obvious choice as my dealer offered the Sabrina for only $300 more than the Monia. The Sabrina also has a 66lb hopper, while the Monia's is only 35lbs I believe. For me, 66lbs is perfect as my average winter day, I burn 1 and a half bags, so I have an easy daily routine.

Pros= works well, contemporary styling, no prob running off my whole house generator.
Cons= mfr has not been here long, glass fogs up quickly, ash pan is the size of a teacup.

What else… I've never seen anyone on this site in my short time here, ask for help with a part failing. If you notice most threads here are from people asking for help or advice, so that's a good sign! Daily clean takes 5 mins. Weekly clean takes 20 mins. Get yourself a nice Powersmith Ash vac, and you'll have no probs with the small ash pan as it takes 5 secs to suck it out.

Oh, the Piazzetta, like many of the euro models has a control board with a lot of settings that you can configure from pellet feed rates to combustion air.

Forgot to add, in the last week or so I've learned that a lot of the euro stoves like Piazzetta, Ecoteck, Astroflamm and Palazzetti use common parts, like control boards, combustion fans, so that if one needs a part, there's a little less risk knowing that there are more sources for parts than just one foreign mfr.

A great review, a dealer near me is going to have a sale on the Sabrina model on for 2699.00 reg 2999.00, so i was wondering how users were liking this model...Sound like a nice stove , i like the programmable feature...
 
Anyone know of a quicker way to obtain parts (burn pot..2nd one in 2 years) for the Monia stove? It takes approximately 2 months for my dealer to get one. - Thanks
 
Find a different dealer? Let the parent company know that parts are a problem?
 
Have a local welding shop replace the portion that's failing
 
I ordered from Northeastern Supplies in NH. A little more money but I received it in 2 days!

Also, just discovered start-up smoke leaking in my living room and coming from the pipe somewhere. Thinking the gaskets broke or not enough vacuum for some reason.

I would lay money on the issue being a leak in the pipe. Self bonding tape on every joint is usually worth the effort instead of trying to goop up with silicone caulk
 
I think @CleanFire fire has one - he's been wicked busy so not on the forum as much as he would like. Maybe you could PM him so he sees this.
 
Bogie, cleanfire has a ecoteck
