Hi
Thinking of getting a gas heater for the living room. This rinnai gas heater enduro 13 can be had on gumtree for around 400 so am wondering if it is worth gettting.

We inherited a similar model from the parents. It kept shutting off after random periods. They took it to get fixed and the guy said an issue with an oxygen sensor, I think.
We don't use it much, but it works OK. Perhaps something shifted in the trip to our place?
In any case, the repairman wanted $400+ to replace the master circuit board.The gas heater we do use is an old beast with the exposed heat panels.
Similar to this: http://www.homecoolingheating.com.au/images/rinnai3.jpg
This gets very hot, very fast and can be switched between 1 panel, 2 or all 4.
And it has a manual ignition so it works in a blackout. It was under $20 on Ebay.
The kids love laying out the school uniform in front of it on a cold morning when they get dressed, so it warms up their clothes.I've got one like that unflued Rinnai.
Works great, I turn the temp down to 16c at night and it turns itself on and off when it falls below that. It doesn't use a lot of gas when you use it like that, It just takes the edge off the cold. Or you can turn it up and roast.
I blow it out with air compressor before winter, as it has sensors which turn it off if oxygen is low or the filters are clogged.I've got one, it's great. And it will heat up a room like an SoB. Does an excellent job, and I totally recommend it. No issues with mine, and my in-laws have the same one
I havd a larger similar one but fluted. Does a great job
