Great heater with kida around
Excellent heater for heating. Can heat my whole house easy.
We purchased this one cause it had a great star rating and it didnt have any flames or glowing areas for the little ones to get intrigued by and want to touch them. And also got it at a great price
Purchased in July 2021 at Harvey Norman for $700.00.

Great little heater
We have quite a small house and this little unit is perfect to warm up the large open areas. We do have it going for half of the day and then on at night until we go to bed and the house stays nice and warm. The unit is quite and will be sad to see it go soon as we are getting ducted aircon. Would highly recommend though. Ppl may complain of smell but when we had ours installed the guy put an air grill close to the unit which is why we dont smell the unpleasant odours, however when the unit is off we do have to put paper over it to avoid cold air entering the house :-(

Headache inducing
This heater produces a very strong smell of combustion gases that it lets off into the house since it's unflued. In a moderately large area and even with cross ventilation as is the recommendation, I experienced a headache within quite a short time. Whilst I am a sensitive individual, I would recommend instead to look at a flued gas heater or just use electric heating especially if small children, pregnant women or elderly persons live in the house.

Not fit for purpose
I spoke to Rennai about the requirements for a heater and was advised that an Avenger 25 would be the best model. I used it twice on cold nights on the weekend. Today I noticed that altering the temperature setting to 18 degs doesn't turn the heater off as the room temperature is shown at 24 degs. I called the tech support who after some bafflement told me that the Avenger 25 doesn't have a temperature control and the unit needs to be turned off and on manually to control the temperature. He said I should have bought an Avenger 25 plus! What do I do now as I'm not always in the room to turn it on and off?

Disappointed with supposed features
We bought the heater two months ago. It works very well if you operate it manually. Heats up the room reasonably fast and the smell is minimal compared to some other portable heaters. The heater has a pre-heat function that automatically activates when you set the timer. It is meant to turn the heater on up to an hour before the set time to pre-heat the room based on the room temperature and data from previous operation. This function doesn't work. The heater comes on exactly 10 minutes before the set time regardless of the room temperature or ...Read more
any other factors. 10 minutes is not enough to heat up the room from 13-14 degrees. This function can't be turned off or reset so at the end of the day we are left with a timer that is 10 minutes off and we just need to take that in to account when setting the timer. When you buy a heater for more than $1k with a timer you expect it to work. Rinnai tech support said I can try to get a replacement by returning it to where I bought it but there is no guarantee that this function will work on the new one. If you are looking for a heater with a timer, avoid this one. I'm also not happy with the "I don't care either way" attitude customer service Riannai provided.Purchased in March 2021 at Appliances Online for $1,198.00.

Great Heater when used correctly
Use mainly as a backup to our wood burning heater. Works great if you don't over demand. We close off areas not used in winter. (store rooms, guest BR, etc.) Always remember any unflued gas heater needs a bit airflow. We air our house out during the day to clear any smells and vent slightly while using. It is our backup so we are not solely dependent on it. If you are going to use gas to heat, do your homework first on flued/unflued heaters and then decide. Both work when used correctly.

Thanks for the review and the advise regarding flued v unflued heaters SSSuave. It is important to have the correct ventilation with these heaters and sized appropriately for the room it is heating.

Looove this heater
What a workhorse, I just love this heater. Yes it wasn't cheap, as gas heaters arnt, however it does a great job.
It heats our open plan house downstairs well and even the upstairs gets warmer, and it works fast. I love the kids lock on it. I like the idea of the timer settings but haven't used them. So handy to have a remote, but lost it- damn! All in all this has been a great investment that I expect to have for many years.

Very noisy.
I purchased this heater last winter and I couldn't use it properly, its fan is very noisy cant handle seat next to it in the room, every time I need to use it, I have to turn it on and wait for the room to get hot then turn it off and continue with the electrical heater, because I tried to return it, they refuse to return it because i opened it, so I stuck with it

Cheap alternative to electricty
Purchased the heater to warm our family room instead of using the ducted reverse cycle air conditioner. Warms the room up a lot quicker and is so much cheaper to run. Highly recommend this heater if you are just wanting to heat the main room you use. It is not suitable to heat the house but then it doesn't claim to.

Keep away the winter chills
Great heater keeps me warm from the winter chills special in the morning. I wold recommend buying two, one for the kitchen area and other in the lounge. Cheaper to run that electricity. Only down side it can give off a gas smell. Need to top up LGP bottles. Every year.

Great little heater
We have 3.1 metre ceilings and a large expanse of tiled floor, and this is all the heating we need in winter. It's a great product very reliable and quiet. Would definitely recommend. While we are yet to use the timer that option is available so you can time it to come home to a cosy room. It cuts off once reaches the desired temperature and is extremely economical to run

Perfect for our space
Great on saving power, heats the room straight away and we never have it on full temp as it works wonderfully. I highly recommend this heater. It heats the whole living, dining and bedroom area which is great as we spend less on heating and don't have to take up a lot of space with a split system or multiple heaters. Plus the gas (as it is is very fantastic, hardly using any gas) bill is surprising low.

Great heater
What great heater...Cost a bit more but well worth it ...So many people that I spoke to still have theirs going 10 to 15 years later, if you look after them ..heats up large lounge and dinning room...what I like is I can set at 19 deg and then set on economy setting....

Heats 2 bedroom apartment beautifully
Purchased 12 months ago. Heats up well and throughout the 76 sq m apartment. It heats up to your desired temperature with the fan then the fan turns off when temperature has reached. The timers are great to start up before you get out of bed. Completely satisfied with this purchase and would recommend . Don't forget to clean filters regularly.

Warm and Toasty
So glad we purchased this product.
We recently moved into a new house that had connected LPG gas.
We researched a range of heaters including electric and gas and decided on the Rinnai Avenger 25.
It heats up quickly and has an easy to use timer that means it comes on in the morning and before we get home at night ensuring we have a warm house.
It also comes with great safety features which gives you peace of mind

Reliable, economical.
We have had this model in our lounge/family room for several years and it just keeps on working perfectly!
Every winter we just turn it on and enjoy quiet heating with accurate heat sensing.
Safe for families with young ones.
Easy to clean the smooth surface. I just vacuum clean the back filters once or twice a year.

Very easy to use and heats up the room very quickly
I just moved into a house with a gas Bayonet and the house is quite cold so we decided to invest in a gas heater. We were told by our plumber to get the Rinnai Avenger since it's one of the most powerful and lasts for a long time. So proud we listened to him and made the investment. The heater heats the room up in just a couple of minutes, perfect for our newborn as well. It's also easy to use and safe, switches off if it falls over. We've never heard any issues with getting burnt from touching something hot on the heater. It's also very light ...Read more
and with a 3m hose, it's perfect to get the hot air into some of the rooms by moving it around to direct it into the rooms. The only thing I don't like is that you can sometimes smell a gassy smell but I'm told this isn't poisonous and it's easy enough to open the windows a little bit and you can't really smell it after that. My brother later told me he has the same heater and it's lasted him for years now, he also loves it. I would recommend this heater if you have a gas bayonet.Similar opinion?
