Rika Integra
The Rika Integra (formerly offered from Austroflamm) is their best selling and most popular model. It’s a great contemporary design with outstanding performance to boot. Being a Rika model, they’re definitely not cheap.
Its available in an insert and freestanding models. It’s proven to be very popular in new recent construction with its modern lines. Its very similar to the little brother the Visio, but it has more heat output and more capacity, with a solid 145 lb. hopper capacity.
Besides the clean look, the other noticeable thing about this stove is what you won’t notice. It’s a very quiet operating unit, due to its good engineering and the use of ball bearings in the motors and fans. It also has very advanced heating and thermostat controls.
If you purchased an Integra more than about 5 years ago, there are some nice motherboard upgrades available that add some of these thermostat functionality to the older models.
There is a price to pay for these advanced features. You’ll generally pay almost $1K more than similar sized models from Lopi or Lennox. Its something you’ll have to consider.
