Coffee odour

published

I have had my heater for a few years now, filters cleaned and serviced but smells like coffee when we turn it on? Why is that? Doesn't smell of gas.

Great heater with kida around

published

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

Great little heater

published

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 :-(

Great Heater when used correctly

published

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.

Keep away the winter chills

published

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.

Perfect for our space

published

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.

Warm and Toasty

published

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

Up to the reputations

published

The best gas heater I bought. I have gone through the reviews from many websites as well as from this website.

It's really a good heater and warms up the room pretty quickly.

It is not very quiet heater but it size and looks are very good.

If you do not need three meter hose pipe.. than go for shorter one.

Keeps a large area very warm

published

I was a little cynical when we purchased this as I thought it would be too small to heat our large living space. We have been using it for a few years now and are very pleased with how warm it makes the living area. I would recommend it despite it being a little pricey, it's worth it!

Cost Effective heater

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.

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.

Avenger AV25N (Natural Gas, White)

We have 2 heaters both are omitting a very bad smell. I have turned them off and on a number of times and it is still the same. The gas on the stove top is not smelling at all. I was shafted when I rang technical yesterday, the guy was really rude and didn't want to know about it. So please help. We are cold.
