Review: Excellent heater !!!! Worth its weight in gold. - I don't normally write a lot of reviews, but I wanted to write one about this heater. First off, let me mention that I'm replacing a 32,000 btu ventless freestanding propane fireplace/stove with the small Rinnai. The remote failed on the 12 year old heater and it was expensive to replace everything. I bought the smaller Rinnai and I was a little concerned that it wasn't big enough for my sun porch. Boy, was I wrong. My sun porch is 12w x 16l x 8h with 2 skylights and all double pane windows. Its 28 degrees and the wind is blowing 15mph. The room was 41 degrees when I turned it on. It was 51 degrees in half an hour. There is no doubt that I bought the correct heater. This 10,000 btu heater works better than the 32,000 btu heater it replaced !!! I figure that it's because of the fan blowing the heat across the floor and recirculating instead of going straight to the ceiling. I'm really impressed with this heater and I would recommend it to everyone. I can't believe how much better this thing is compared to the old stove type heater that was 3 times the btu rating. If your thinking about buying one, do it. You wont be disappointed. UPDATE: Going into the third winter season with this propane heater. It still works perfectly. I have a contractor doing some work and he is amazed at how well the heater works and has no smell. Me too. Update: Coming up on the next winter season that will make the heater 5 years old and it's still working perfectly. It keeps my sun room at whatever temperature I want it to be. Update: Fall of 2025 and it still works perfectly like it did when I bought it in 2019. It'll be powered up 24/7 and producing heat when the room calls for it until spring of 2026. No adverse effects and it puts humidity in the air that my oil furnace takes out. I have it plugged into a UPS so it continues to run for hours when the power goes out.
Review: Great product! - Without a doubt this is the best ventless propane heater on the market. The vented wall furnaces are top of the line too.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how many btus**
A: Unless I am having trouble reading, THERE IS NO BTU RATING...   This is a very poor ad.  Will it run on battery alone?

**Q: Any way to figure out the propane consumption?  our house runs on 100lb propane bottles so i’d like to figure out how fast i’ll burn thru one.  thanks**
A: I have a 120gal propane tank.   Use the heater a fair amount (not constantly) and fill the tank every 18 months.  The heater draws from the propane tank along with a kitchen range and clothes dryer. No two people will have the same usage.  But the above is how it works for me.  Adults in the house.  No kids (not a family with high utility consumption).

**Q: can this heater be accessed via the internet?**
A: You would need a wifi thermostat.

**Q: if i insulated skirting for mobile home and put this heater under mobile would it keep floors warm?**
A: I would not recommend it for that use. It has a flame that could give off carbon monoxide that could build up and enter the living area and cause sickness or death. Check with your local Fire Department for official advice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great heater for small space
*by S***D on January 17, 2025*

We have a 450 sq ft cabin that is spray foam insulated. This heater was installed today in near zero temps. Once installed, and turned on. It was easily able to maintain a 72-74° temp inside the cabin. Please remember to open a windows as this heater does not produce carbon monoxide. But does produce carbon and it can replace all existing oxygen. So cracked a window and enjoy the wonderful heat.
