Rinnai PatioPal

Terrible – Pretty ordninary unit ...dont buy it go and get yourself a good quality overhead style heater I think i put to many words in the cons bit neat and tidy looking unit No where near enough heat, you can not sit around it and expect to keep warm. You have to stand within 400mm to be able to get much benifit at all.' For a $600 unit i want to have to take my shirt off!!

Overall this unit is not good, another reason is that if it doesnt light straight away it will blow back in your face ( it did this the firsttime we used it ) also if you have kids keep in mind that all the controls can be reached by a two year old ...

I will be returning mine to bunnings on Monday and getting a tall type one.. i already have one of these and we put them side by side and the old 149 dollar cheapy eats the fancy rinnai alive for heat .. just goes to show you cant trust a company by reputation or the supposed expert at your local bunnings

OK – we love it and have used it lots. Bought at Bunnings for under 600.00. Stable unit in windy conditions and looks very nice. looks more stylish than other outdoor heaters. does a good job provided you are sitting nearby heat could radiate more - you may need 2 for a large area
