A very good heater

Rinnai is a very good brand,if you are looking for an effective heater, you'll never go wrong with Rinnai. It heats up very fast and keep the whole room warm in short a few minutes. I have been used mine for several years without any problem. And it's save a lot on heating bills

Cost Effective heater

published

With rising costs to electivity and gas - finding a cost effective heater was essential. This has been an excellent buy as it is cheap to run and heats up the entire floor of my house. Buy Rinnai - it is simply the best brand in heaters and this is the best heater I have ever bought.

Heats up the room nicely

published

We purchased this almost a year ago for the bottom floor of our house as it is always really cold downstairs! This heats up the room really well and we feel warm and toasty. It's easy to use. Love it and will highly recommend this brand. When filter button starts flickering, all you need to do is wipe the dust away with a damp cloth and it'll be fine to use again.

Warmth, without overheating

published

Finally bought a gas heater, as the bayonet was put in when the house was built ten years ago. It is used to take the chill off in the evenings, very effectively. We turn it off ten minutes before retiring to bed, and the fan goes off fairly soon, before we go upstairs.

Powerful

published

Purchased for the top floor of the house as open plan and just had natural gas installed. Easy to use and heats up the area nicely. Interesting is that it is just one fan speed compared to the smaller models. Stands alone in the large heater range. Researched via choice.com.au and happy with the model.

Incredible

published

Surpassed all expectations. I've had my air con going non stop to try and warm up the house but within 10 mins- I've had to turn this machine off it's so toasty and comfy. Love it. Can't believe I waited this long to buy one. Incredible. I can finally feel my toes again!!!

Just what I needed

published

Pumps out excellent heat and is so easy to use. Ultra quiet. Even though it is the un flued model it does not make the house smell at all. Warms the entire house and the economy function is awesome. Small condensation on some windows but I think you would get that from any gas heater.

Fabulous heater, room is warm in seconds!

published

Purchased this heater at the end of last winter and wishing we had done it sooner. It heats so quickly and the temperature setting is a must for comfort. The remote control is fabulous to switch the heater off 10 minutes or so before hauling up off the lounge for bed. Brilliant heater, love it.

Excellent product

very quiet, warm and stylish. Love the remote on /off option. This was a 2nd hand purchase running on LPG but hardly used. Found the user manual online. Our home is very open plan with many levels and we live mid north coast od NSW, really warms up. Owned Rinnai before.

Bad smell. Headaches from the unit.

published

Have a avenger 25 plus that has a terrible smell. Get headaches. Took the first one back the shop I purchased it from and they replaced it with another one. This new one does the same thing. I would really do your research on these type of units before purchasing. We have reviewed forums about this unit to make sure we weren't at fault. We have no gas leaks. No new paint. The unit is out in the open away from everything. Windows open and yes still a bad smell.

Date PurchasedJun 2016

Forget tech support

published

Heater smelt awful. Got it cleaned but still smelt of unburnt gas. Our gas plumber had to phone for advice. Said they didn't have them in nsw, then suggested we burn it for hours to burn off dust. Getting worse rather than better. Had to listen to advertising saying how good rinnai was.

Brilliant heaters

We have two of these heaters and they do a great job heating downstairs of our house. Had one for a few years and is going without problems and purchased a second for last winter. One is in silver and one in beige. Both run off the mains gas. Easy to use and fast to heat up

Awesome heater

published

Very happy. It easily heats 161sq . Live in a coastal area but we have it set on 22 but often have to turn it down. We utilise the economy mode and timer operations. So nice to wake up to a warm house. Would recommend it to anyone wanting quality heating.

This heater is amazing! Heats my house in 10mins, it's super quiet and easy to install, I would definitely recommend this heater to friends and family. It's also great for families that have little kiddies because it doesn't have an exposed element so there's less risk of them being burnt

MAKES THE HOUSE SO COMFY

published

I was recommended by friends to get one of these heaters for years, so I finally made the investment. This heater is amazing. I spent years paying power bills that were too high and not even great heat.This heater finally delivers so much warmth in such a small amount of time. do yourself a favour. Go get one.

OMG, this thing is making you sweat in winter !

published

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 !!

Toasty

published

I love the heat and cost efficiency of this product. I would prefer to have a more modern looking version and am looking to upgrade for aesthetic reasons but this appliance has served my family well for 10 years. We have a large 4 bedroom house with high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows, which means we require heat efficiency. Electricity is too expensive and an open fireplace inconvenient. This is the perfect solution for a busy family.
