Our new Dux water heater

Our new Dux Prodigy 5 is now three weeks old. Our hot water is the hottest it has been for years. Great product and I would recommend this brand to anyone replacing their existing heater

No fuss, does exactly what it is supposed to.

Replaced an existing Dux heater that had lasted a long time. Was a straight swap so fitted perfectly in the alcove. The thermostat mechanism seems to be a lot more modern than the one in the old unit. Has worked well from day one.

Very efficient water heater

published

We were relieved to have the Dux replacement installed in late August and to finally have hot showers. The installer arrived on time, was friendly and gave good advice and information on the performance of the heater. It has been operating very well so far and provising us with ample and consistent hot water.

We are very happy with the hot water service and the service Dux provided from start to finish. Their guidance regarding which service to install was extensive and our selected choice serves our family of four well. Quick turnaround at an extremely competitive price.

Unsafe product and regret it so much

published

My parents’ hot water system unit is having issue with pilot light getting off all the time. After reading the reviews and I am concern regards to the safety of this product. The other reason is my parents unable to resolve this issue due to their age and physical well beings. Getting a product that created stress to your daily life is not pleasant.

Excellent Hot Water System!

published

We had the Dux Prodigy 5 170DB5N installed about a month ago, and we couldn't be happier with our new hot water system. So far, everything has been perfect: the professionalism of the Dux hot water installation team, Dux's customer service, the ease of getting the installation organised in the first place, and of course the product itself. We're pleased with how quickly the water heats up, and would definitely recommend this hot water system for a family of 4.

Don’t buy Dux

published

Water heating unit only lasted 3 years, got it installed in May 2016. Unitrol and thermocouple needs replacing. After talking to people and doing bit of research, this is known issue with Dux. But the worst part is Dux only provide one year warranty for the parts and 10 year warranty for the tank. It costed me $600 to get it fixed and not sure how long it will run.

**Don't buy this brand***

This is the 2nd unit in 4 years that I have had. This brand is a death trap. Flames were firing up the inside of the casing and melted all the insulation and nearly burnt my face off. Danger! Stay away.

Hi Dux team, I've just emailed the requested details. Hope you can fix the issue quickly. Just had another plumber fix the system but it lasted only a few days.

Working well, easy and fast installation to replace the old unit. a bonus is that our long last hot water hammer has been greatly reduced.
Hot water temperature is very good with constant temperature.

Good product so far

published

Gas Hot Water Heater is holding up well since installation in January 2018 with no major issues so far. Having said this, I wouldn't expect issues to arise after one year but so far it's doing well.

Excellent hot water

published

Cannot fault the installation,supply and performance of my unit.Only had it installed March 2022.No problems whatsoever as you would expect,being so new.I would expect 10 years minimum just like my previous gas hot water unit.Dux have a good reputation so any problems would be dealt with promptly I would imagine.I purchased through Bunnings and had no problems,they were very good to deal with.

Cannot fault the supply, installation and performance of our new hot water system. We are retirees, so only 2 of us, but recently had the family home to stay, lots of extra showers and no problems with the extra demand. Hot water always. Very happy!

Great service and no issues so far!

Our Dux hot water unit has been operating perfectly since we had it installed a few months ago. Our experience in purchasing through Bunnings was great, installation was organised quickly and the process was overall a positive one. The unit copes well with the demands from our family of 5.

Hi Neil, mine is 2 1/2 years old. After posting my review Dux made contact with me 2 days ago. They then contacted one of their servicing mobs who came out this morning and repaired it under warranty. So, yes, with my particular unit there was an issue. Part replaced in under 10 minutes. Very happy with the service from them. So maybe just post like I did and see what happens. All the best, hope that helped.

Prodigy 5 170DB5N

On the 31/12/2016 i bought a Dux Prodigy at Bunnings because the unit we had would not re light, after bringing it home and cutting open the box decided to try to re light the old Gas heater as we had had a flood down the side of the house and I could see the water mark up the side, it lite so we covered with the cut box and put the Dux Prodigy in shed.
On the 29/9/2019 we installed the Dux Prodigy 5 170DB5N it worked and a couple of days latter we got cold water, so we re light the unit and next couple of days it went out and this is happening every couple of days since, reading peoples reviews it seems to have got a bad name for doing this.
My question is this whilst brand new it is out of warranty what is wrong with it, and what should I do ?
