Worst heater ever

published

This is the worst heater I’ve ever had the misfortune of having!!! Worked for about 2 years which surprise surprise is when it’s ware ty ended and then it started with its gas warning problem like it seems everyone else’s problem. Don’t buy this heater, complete waste of money and you really will spend a lot of money trying to fix it which you can’t. I’m about to through it in the garbage where it belongs!!!!

Not a good heater

published

When heater is set on 5it takes about 4 hours to heat room. room size 16 x 14 feet.
I sit with a rug wrapped around myself.
The installers left a gas leak at the gas metre. Gas company came and fixed that.
The controls are difficult to see, need a torch .

Difficult to get a mannual none in the package, made 3 requests to supplier before I got i

So far so good

published

I read some reviews online which are both negative and positive but I decided to take a punt on this anyway. I've been running it for the last 6 weeks and honestly it is a very warm heater that heats up both my living area and kitchen in around 10 minutes. It needs to be put on setting 4 (out of 7) in order to prevent the thermostat from cutting the heater in and out. 3 and below seems to be just too low a setting for it to stay on. One drawback is like others have said, yes it is a little loud when the boost kicks in but it doesn't stay on too long and isn't overly annoyingly loud but you know it's on. Overall a decent enough heater for the price ($1200) that does it's job.

Disappointed

published

Really really dissapointed with this heater. Didn't do my homework, big mistake. It is poor quality, no temp setting so just guess work, no fan control so it cuts in and out with a noisy high speed fan, and the room gets hot and cold. But the worst is it exacerbates my asthma. Might have past as a bottom of the range heater 25 years ago, so sorry I put this in my house.

almost impossible to restart

published

We have 2 units. One in the kitchen and one in the lounge room. First of all, if power goes out, you have to reignite it and it is almost impossible to restart the units. I have been working on kitchen unit for 2 days now and not a chance!. we gave up.
Also they are extremely noisy. We actually turn them all off to watch a movie.
I dont think we will use them again. we are looking for an alternative now. very very very disappointed..

Its been quiet and doing its job really well.

published

Great heater. Quiet and reliable! Not sure why everybody has been complaining about noise. Obviously if something is noisy it means you got a lemon that might have been damaged so get onto the warranty instead of complaining and giving bad reviews. I gave it 4 stars because heating the house is a bit of a mission obviously because its not a ducted system only a wall heater. I think if it had a stronger fan setting option the heat might actually make it down my hallway. Other then that its quiet and heats two thirds of the house. Awesome considering its a wall heater. Thanks Braemar

No problem Happy Camper, really appreciate you taking the time to give us this review and great advice on the benefits of a solid warranty. If only the hallway was not so long we would have got that fifth star! Thank you ~ Craig

Braemar wall furnace heater

Hi there my name is Janny and I live in a Dhs unit. Last week we had a new heater installed a Braemar wall furnace heater, I am not happy with it as the heater keeps switching on and off every 5 minutes or so and makes a horrible noise. Cheers Janny

Worst on the market.

published

This is the useless unit, the aussie govt is installling in dhs homes, aus wide. They literallly bought tens of thousands of these useless heater units.
Facts:
Elec "Apprentices" are installing.
Only heats room the heater unit sits in.
The whole unit rattles and vibrates whilst 'heating'.
Zero air direction control.
Zero fan control.
Zero heat control.
And shock horror.....They are all microchipped.

Loud and doesn’t heat consistently

published

Really loud and clunky, it cuts in and out often, so you’re either way too hot or just as you’re starting to feel warm off it goes and you’re suddenly cold again.

Worst heater I’ve ever had.

What’s gone wrong is the design team didn’t consider noise or consistency of heating.

Terrible after two years stops working so not buy!!

published

Purchase 2 years ago from Gasworks asked for the best this is not!!! replaced a old 30year heater for this $4000 heater to stop working after the warranty runs out cost $180 just to have someone look at it after being one month out of its 2 year warranty! Don’t waste your money buy a fire place!!! Also found out you need to get it serviced every year because of the computer chip in it!! Crap!! They don’t make heaters like they use too!!
