"This is my first experience with a Rinnai"

I've owned the Rinnai tankless water heater for just a few months and it has met my expectations. I live in a two-story house and it does take about a minute for the water to heat up in the upstairs bathroom. Once the water is heated, all is well. The heater is outside. A friend who hadn't been to my home in a while, noticed the new heater and commented on what a nice sleek look it had. I thought that was interesting. Most people don't notice or care about what utilitarian items look like, so that speaks to the cosmetics of the Rinnai. I care that it works and lasts long, so I may have to come back and give an update on this review in 15-20 years! I'll let you know then how things are going. But so far, so good!

Everything I expected. Takes cold water some time before it gets hot, especially the opposite end of house

"While you get instant hot water, it takes almost 2 minutes for it to show up at the shower - meanwhile you are wasting time and precious water. I do not think this product is very environmentally friendly. It does not meet my expectations."

It was here when I bought the new house. No choice, so I am having to either wast water or waste gas & electricity with a RE-circulation pump - which is not a good solution. If you have to run from the unit more than 25’ - then you need a better solution. 2 smaller units or a ‘point of use’ unit (that is affordable!) and actually works.

The Rinnai heater q installed in the construction of our home 2 years ago. It has worked perfectly, other than one occasion when a loose electrical connection caused it to shut down.

"Tankless Review"

We like the easily accessible temperature control and have had our gas tankless heater (exterior mounted) for about 6 months. So far we are very happy with the heater and love the floor space we gained in our garage when we removed our old tank heater. We live about a mile from the beach and will be watching closely to see how the unit holds up to the salt air.

I have had it for four months. I wish it didn't require power like my first tankless water heater. It operates as expected.
