exceeds expectations
Absolutely love the push button automatic start, quietness. It is so efficient that we run it on economy, and at time have to turn it off. We live in a very cold zone, s o have been totally blown away by its performance. Th company we dealt with were also super.

Gas Consumption
Just bought this from Harvey, and it is chewing through the gas....hard. We are on bottled LPG and the heater has used around half a bottle in a week. Is that normal?
Would like some advice on whether or not I should be using just gas or mixture of the gas and electric option?

Thanks for the question Henno, it is hard to give a definite answer on gas usage as there are so many variables at play. We have a technical help desk available on 1300 555 545 which can provide you with advise about the heater usage.

Great heater
I purchased this heater 6 months ago and have been extremely happy with it. It heats up our downstairs area very quickly. The heat also travels upstairs well and heats that area too. My only complaint would be that it does not have a fan setting which enables you to turn the fan down slightly. This isn't too much of a problem though and we have positioned it in an area where the air is not blowing toward the lounge area. Other than that it is a great heater and works well.

OMG, this thing is making you sweat in winter !
Bought mine from Binglee (they do price match, saved me $400 as well !). Very easy set up, just plug in the power cord and conned to gas point. I normally use the Gas Eco mode, and it was very efficient with LPG, maybe also good with natural gas. Very good and reliable product, worth buying !!

Perfect for home
Ideal heater, works perfectly and easy to set the timer allowing for morning and evening heating times.
No problem with cleaning and heats a three bedroom home quite comfortably. Looks good and for the price a worthwhile option.
Had a bigger one in our last house, this one is perfectly adequate.

Love this heater! Heats up the whole house
Absolutely love this heater.. I have a large open plan house and it heats it up in no time at all. There is a hint of a gas smell... but I actually don't think its as bad as people say.... or at least mine wasn't. The gas obviously works better than the electric part.

Smells
Emits a putrid smell.
Spent as much time off for repairs as has had hours use.
While never fixed each call comes with the standard this is going to cost you $175.
Still a very expensive problem.
Partner has had health issues since we got it.
Rinnai will tell you there are no known issues.
Do not buy!

Excellent unit and surprisingly, NO SMELL!
After reading all the reviews regarding the gas smell, we had great concerns prior to committing the purchase to an Avenger 25 Plus Unit. After calling major retailers i.e. Harvey Norman and Kambos, it turned out that the exchange and return policy is the same: if the unit is believed to be faulty, the manufacturer has to investigate before the retailer make exchanges. So in the end we decided to bite the bullet and hope for the best.
And it was great! Took my husband 10 mins in total to take it out of the box, hook it up and press start an...Read more
d bam the unit is running! And there is no smell! I'm pregnant, so I would have been ultra sensitive to smell, but there is none, other than the new plastic smell that you may also find on a new fridge or new watching machine. So far we have been so happy with the unit, really easy to ignite and so quiet as well. So after all the hesitation, I felt obliged to jump online and "justify" a little bit for the brilliant working unit. Our initial conclusion (without expertise backup of course) to those smelly units were: There could be a connection issue. The unit wasn't designed to emit unburned gas, so if your unit has gas smell, it's either the bayonet connection is not sealed properly, or there is something seriously wrong with the particular unit (but what's the chance most of the time?). This assumption basically encouraged us to commit to the purchase and turned out our unit is fine. So good luck to all people who are considering buying this unit. It was a good buy for us, hope for the same to you. =) House specs: 31sqm immediate heating area, 3m high ceiling, open hall ways and corridors. Our goal was to warm up the whole house 130sqm in low heat over time. So far so good. Powerful, quiet, quick and energy efficient.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Questions & Answers
Duy Tasked
Hi I bought the Rinnai Avenger 25 plus AV25PSL and it says on the back with “Use only with Propane gas” while I have a gas heating point at home using gas from the gas meter supplied by AGL. I searched and understand that I might use natural gas at home and wondering if it is safe to connect the Rinnai Avenger 25 Plus AV25PSL for use? Appreciate your advice. Thank you.
3 answers
Hi Duy, take it back to swap it for a natural gas version if you bought new. If you bought second hand you could buy a conversion kit (call Rinnai for advice on which kit is suitable). This one is for bottled not natural, don’t connect it.
Thank you,Kez for the advice.
Rinnai A.Rinnai
Thanks for the question and as Kez has advised you cannot use an LPG model on Natural Gas but conversion kits can be purchased at any Rinnai stockist (for locations of your nearest https://www.rinnai.com.au/store-locator/ )
The kit must be fitted by a licensed gas fitter.

We have just had to pull out the heater for the winter season....the difference between this yr and last is that we now have a walking toddler.
We have had to move gas outlets (to one that isn't easily accessible to little hands) and now it sits much closer to our lounge (only 50cm away) although saying this, our house is very open living. Just wondering if this is deemed safe? (It does sit behind the lounge)
Also whats the thoughts on gas emissions and a 13 month old? Safe???
2 answers
Re outlet location: your gas fitter should have certified that the new outlet location, fitting and installation is compliant.
Re emissions: ALWAYS have appropriate ventilation. I rely on our DVS system providing a flow of fresh air and have window(s) open (1st catch, about 1-2cm) sufficient to allow air to exit the area.
Preference is definitely a flued heater if it is practical and affordable.
Unflued gas heaters still sell here, bottle and mains.
There are safety features: The Rinnai heater turns off if oxygen depleted levels are detected. You could install a gas detector.
If in doubt about an unflued gas heater, don't do it as it will always bug you.
The heater is fantastic, we are happy with it and recommend it. Much more effective than our heat pump.
Good luck.
Rinnai A.Rinnai
Thanks for the question Kelstar. There are a few things to be aware of when movig the location of the heater. We suggest the clearances around the heater should be at least 500mm surrounding the heater nd 750mm in front of the unit. If there is furniture too close to the front of the unit it will distrupt the airflow from the unit so may not heat the same area.
As mentioned above the unit does have a number of safety features including a Oxygen Depletion Safety Device, Tilt Switch and child lock. If you need further information about any of these devices please refer to the Customer Operation Manual which is available online at the Rinnai Australia website.
As with any gas heater, we recommend never leaving a small child unattended and never let anyone fall asleep right in front of the heater.
If you have any other concerns about the use of the heater we are happy to discuss further through our customer contact centre on 1300 555 545
