Excellent Product
I could not be happier with this purchase. The heater is very compact, makes virtually no noise, and is extremely efficient. I have had this unit in operation for 3 months and have never had an issue with this heater meeting my hot water demand. There is no noticeable increase in the amount of time it takes for hot water get to fixtures.

This is the most efficient model made by Rinnai, check with your gas company for rebates as I was able to recoup the entire cost of the heater. I switched over from a 80 gallon electric tanked heater. My electric bill dropped dramatically (30%+) and I didn't even notice an increase in my gas bill (less than 5$/month).


Tank less water heater
I love this unit. The 8 gallon per minute of hot water is plenty for both of my bathrooms, and kitchen. The only challenge installing was the condensing drain. Every time I hooked up the drain, the unit stopped working in the middle of my showers. If I let the unit drip in a bucket it worked fine. We figured out that a breather hose had to be put on the drain, and then it worked great. Also, the delay of hot water is a bit slower. With my old unit, it took 20 seconds for the water to be hot in the faucet, now it take 40 seconds, but once it comes through, it stays hot continuous. The cost of this unit is about $15 per month to run compared to $60 per month with the old tank unit. I would highly recommend this item to any one looking for a good tank less water heater. Once the bugs were worked out, it works great.


Very happy with my purchase
I picked the Rinnai brand after reading and hearing good things about this brand. I found this particular unit at a significant savings because it is the prior model. As a result I picked this up for less than the less efficient lower capacity model. I installed this myself. It wasn't hard but did take a long time as I had to re-route all the piping - both gas and water so lots of new connections needed to be made. The job took me about 12 hours from start to finish.

The unit works great and the water supply is more than sufficient for our family of four. I've not tried it yet with more than 2 concurrent users but it fully satisfies two showers or a shower and the dishwasher running at the same time.

As an extra bonus, my water is now softer than it was before without my hot water tank.
