Review: This thing ROCKS! - TLDR: This is now my favorite appliance in our entire house. Just buy it. I bought this to replace an ecotemp tankless hot water heater that leaked within a year of purchase. I was hesitant to spend an extra ~$200 on this unit, but I can honestly say it was worth it for sure. Showers: Incredible. This changed the way all of our showers work for the better. It's so effective that I can now balance my shower more on the "cold side" of the dial as opposed to turning it all the way to "hot" with my last hot water heater. This means that I have full cold water pressure at the same time as full hot water. This leads to a very high pressure, very satisfyingly steamy shower. Efficiency: In my case, this water heater will pay for itself in propane savings over a year. It's THAT good. Seriously, this thing uses less than half of the amount of propane on my last unit. Heat: It gets HOT. I called up Rinnai service to ask how to change the temperature from whatever the standard is to 140 degrees F. Customer support picked up immediately and was very knowledgeable. They walked me through it in less than 5 minutes and now I have HOT water for my dishes and laundry. Power: I can wash my car with steaming hot (140 dgF) water @ 60 PSI easily. The unit never chokes or gets cold. I can run a dual-head shower while running the dishwasher. Control: You can run a trickle of hot water with this unit. My last unit would only kick on if you had the hot water turned at least to half strength. This one has very fine controls, operating flawlessly at around .5 GPM.
Review: Awesome quality! - This is working great for our beach bungalow!

Have had this up and running for almost a year. Have had no problems, works great. It’s outside and the lowest temperature it has seen is about 5 degrees. Worked great the whole time. No water pressure issues, and it gets hot very fast. 10/10 recommend
