Almost instant heat
I have the largest in the range that does not need a flue. My loungeroom is approximately 5 metres x 8 metres and the adjoining dining room is of a similar size. There is an open kitchen next to the dining room and no doors. This heater not only heats all of the downstairs area comfortably, it heats upstairs as well. I purchased the heater about 8 years ago from The Good Guys and it is highly recommended

Hi Claudie, new heaters can give off a burning smell but if you are finding the same issue this year we would suggest speaking to our technical team on 1300 555 545 option 3 and they can advise further.
Thanks
Rinnai Australia

Not suitable for sensitive person
I bought it 7 days from BingLee and used it for 4 times. It disappointed me! A very powerful heater, warm up the room very quick. However, it produces an ODOUR smell in an hour. It causes me headache and out of breath, open almost all the windows at home, still have the smell. I called Rinnai, they asked about new paint, air refresher and dust. It is not all they mentioned. Then I can request technician to check, but if there is not product faulty, I need to pay $195. I regret I overlooked those users complainted about the odour smell. The 4.1 ...Read more
stars of the gas heater is not true! Product review should stay clear a section for sensitive users! Never buy unflued gas heater, even though it is a good brand. I WASTE $1500 for a gas heater that causes me HEADACHE and can't breath properly!Purchased in May 2021 at Bing Lee Physical store for A$1,499.00.

Perfect heating solution
Purchased the Avenger 25 Plus 15 months ago. Heats a large open plan kitchen/dining/family room area on the "gas economy mode" very comfortably and efficiently. Usually set only on 19-20-21 degs. subject to outside temperature. Very happy with performance and highly recommend.

So warm in our large living room/kitchen/dining
We had an old gas space heater which finally gave up. We thought it was a beauty, we were so wrong.
After doing a lot of research, as I always do before we buy anything, we chose the Rinnai Avenger 25Plus, and couldn't be happier.
We can't believe how much warmer our large living room is with this heater! And it's much more economical. We could see it compared to our gas bill from the previous winter. We're actually heating the living room, kitchen and meals area. Very big room with high ceilings.
The 3m long hose is a big advantage as we mov...Read more

Excellent heater
Heats my large open plan living room quickly and maintains heat well. Suffered with electric heating before purchasing this unit and I'm so glad I made the change. Very easy to use and love the programmable start time. Great work Rinnai.

Best Gas Heater!
Best gas heater I’ve ever owned! We have a massaive open area and the heater heats it all. Just set the temp and let it do it’s thing. Easy to use and quick to start. Great for the cold mornings. Very happy with purchase and highly recommended. Eco mode is great, as heater reaches temp turns down saving gas and money.

Excellent!!
We bought it yesterday and I feel like that our life has been changed!
I didn’t like to use our air conditioner to warm up the room cause makes room too dry that’s the reason why we bought Gus heater.
So it doesn’t makes room dry.
Quick start, warm quickly and keep warming!
We love it!!

Absolutely love the push button automatic start, quietness. It is so efficient that we run it on economy, and at time have to turn it off. We live in a very cold zone, s o have been totally blown away by its performance. Th company we dealt with were also super.

Gas Consumption
Just bought this from Harvey, and it is chewing through the gas....hard. We are on bottled LPG and the heater has used around half a bottle in a week. Is that normal?
Would like some advice on whether or not I should be using just gas or mixture of the gas and electric option?

Rinnai A.Rinnai
Thanks for the question Henno, it is hard to give a definite answer on gas usage as there are so many variables at play. We have a technical help desk available on 1300 555 545 which can provide you with advise about the heater usage.

Toastie warm
I usually love the cold but we moved home and now it's freezing to the point where it actually bothers me.
We decided to take the leap and invest in a gas heater rather than electrical. Very happy that we did.
Positive:
Heating power and heat coverage: does a darn good job, warms up my open plan living area all the way into the hallway and into the bedrooms if we have forgotten to close the doors.
Convenient: portable and it has a 3m gas connection.
Versatile in modes, you can use electrical or gas to heat home and how you want it to h...Read more

Very disappointed and cold!
I purchased the heater in mid May this year (2018). The unit was used over two evenings and ran perfectly and warm. A bit smelly at first but that dissipated. The third time it was used, the unit stopped after ten or so minutes. A red light came on and Error code 12 displayed on the panel. According to the manual, this corresponded to "Incomplete combustion." Tested the unit on a second gas outlet. Same issue. Contacted the Help Line and a few days later the service technician attended and worked on the unit. He could find nothing wrong. The se...Read more

Very powerful heater but really stinks out the house with a gassy smell.
I have a huge living room and this heater does a great job of filling the space with warmth. The gassy smell that has developed over the past couple of winters is starting to worry me though. Perhaps it just needs a service but I really wish I bought a flued heater now.

Great heater
I purchased this heater 6 months ago and have been extremely happy with it. It heats up our downstairs area very quickly. The heat also travels upstairs well and heats that area too. My only complaint would be that it does not have a fan setting which enables you to turn the fan down slightly. This isn't too much of a problem though and we have positioned it in an area where the air is not blowing toward the lounge area. Other than that it is a great heater and works well.

What a powerful heater. Our house is quite huge and we have little kids so it was so difficult to warm up the house in winter but since we bought this heater it’s so easy to warm up the house. I am so so happy with this product and highly recommend to others.

Very useful for summer
It does really good jog in winter warming up the entire area. I have a 80 square meter area and it does the work. Only the problem is when it is switched off still cool breeze blows for a while. I guess it has to be overcome by looking the manual thoroughly.

Powerful, quiet and hot!
This is an excellent heater. We have a mid-large sized combined kitchen/dining/living area and it heats up in minutes. Pointing the heater into the hallway and we can heat up three very cold bedrooms quickly. Point the heater up the stairs and we can heat up 70%+ of the upstairs within 10 minutes. Basically we can heat the entire 6 bedroom house with this one unit.
We bought the 25 plus for the extra cold mornings and nights, but to be honest, turning the electric element on in addition to the gas is overkill. Too warm!
100% would recommend to anyone needing a gas heater. Costs a fair bit but more than worth it.

Powerful
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.

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!!!

Rinnai A.Rinnai
Hi Dancer, thanks for the question. Error code 70 is a fault with the on and off switch and will require a service call to fix. You can book online on the Rinnai website, 24 hours a day.

Dancerasked
Why is there a red light flashing when I turn on my Rinnai Avenger 25plus
2 answers
Rinnai A.Rinnai
Hi Dancer, if the heater is not turning on and you have the red flashing light, it generally indicates there has been an error in the starting process. In the display there would be a 2 digit fault code which will indicate the issue.
You can check this code in the user manual received with the unit, the online version can be found on the Rinnai website. A service call may be required depending on the error.
Thanks
Rinnai Australia
Yes two digit code is 70, i only use 2 months.of the year, no problem.then. However my Everdure is working. Where is best place to go to fix the Avenger 25plus I live north of river, how much will cost approx.
Steveasked
We purchased the Rinnai Avenger 25 a couple months ago. We have had a few occasions where we smelt some gas, but in the last 2 days it has become much worse.
I've checked the gas connection, and it's locked in, so not sure what ould be causing this.
How can we test the heater is working properly and is safe to use.
