Troublesome, But Still Working – Like most people, we bought this heater due to the price. Ran well for about 5yrs, then had the noisy fan. I pulled it apart, adjusted the fan, & oiled the bearing, & that fixed that problem. Another couple of years & we had the "flame fail" issue. After a look on YouTube, it appears it`s the sensor. Pulled it apart again, cleaned the sensor, &… Read more · 1
it`s working fine again. We`ve now had it for over 10yrs, so can't really complain. It`s still working well now, after the "repairs". But how many people are handy enough to attempt them ? I`m not sure. Does this make it a bad heater ? I think it`s Ok only because I could fix it.
Frustrated – Flame is ok. But keeps overheating. Started to turn on at 18 then when the red light switches down put the heat up by 2 degrees. Thought that was it but noooo. Seems to overheat when the weather is at its coldest. This is the 3rd year we have had it too. Took it back to the factory where they said that it didn't turn off once. hmm
useless – hopeless product. the remote never ever worked, the fan is noisy especially on LOW n all the advice doesn't stop it shutting down every 10 min with FLAME FAIL. tried vacuuming the dust out n still no good".............. ...... ....... ... ... .... etc etc etc etc etc etc etc the space size it was supposed to be able to heat and the silver frontage countless resets of flame fail no help
Dangerous – serviced before winter,its been back 2 more times,still flame fail..and overheat..and now its ignites with a small explosion..and smell of gas...it is very dangerous....service engineer says not to use..imagine using the timer function,a virtual time bomb..i have paid for new ignition module? and other non warrantable items.we will take this further..... when new,good fast heater... dangerous,unreliable,
Think I've found the problem – All, I too was experiencing the all too frustrating constant flame fail. Tried some of the remedies mentioned herein - but to no avail. Then I thought... she is a bit dusty behind. I vacuumed all the vents in the back and on the side. I haven't had a flame fail in about 5 days! Fingers crossed. It could be the same solution for some of you. heats my whole house fan is a touch noisy, and did need repairing during the warranty period.
As a follow up to my above comment; this only helped for a short while. The thing then died. Bought… Read more
Awful – Very noisy, constant flame fail. What is the point?? Its cold and my heater wont light. Dont bother. Extremely frustrating Constant flame fail. Wont light
Terrible – I though I'd give everdure a go, seeing they are aussie made, & honeslt it was a mistake. I should have gone with a Rinnai. Originally purchased a series I lumina, had nothing but problem from constant flame failures to an extremely noisy fan. Everdure eventually replaced the unit with a series II, fan noise is tolerable (ie, does not sound like a… Read more
coffee grinder any more), but constant flame failures when igniting mean you cannot use the timer feature.
Also, the fact it has flame failed twice this winter without shutting off the gas is scary - lucky I noticed the smell of unburnt gas quickly. Honestly, you'd be better off leaving the oven door open than buying one of these pieces of crap. Heats well, low emissions Complete pain in the a#se to light.
Simply awful – Don't Everdure read the ACCC warranties and refunds brochure? Think they better. Ever since we got it, it has never worked constantly. I thought it was gas pressures in the supply line, but never got round to having it adjusted. The unit has been serviced and is just as bad now as ever. So no dust build up like suggested above. My daughter in law has same model and same issues. Looked okay. Convection heater Simply does not work.
Same here, the heater has never worked properly and requires ongoing maintenance, so it is an… Read more (+1 reply)
Will never ever buy one again – Will never ever buy one again, we had 3 years warranty it went back every single year for 3 years, now warranty has run out. Its now winter and its already started playing up, once it goes it goes in the bin. Just a waste of $1000.00. The Remote Control. When it has only run for 5 mins then turns off from overheating, noisy, just not well made at all.
OK – As with most other reviewers, the flame fail reset became a problem, but the way we rectified this was by having the temp set at 22C, and now the heater works really well. If you had the choice, I would go for a Rinnia or Vulcan, but if cost is a factor this heater does the job well. good looking heater. reasonably priced. the flame reset
Worst heater ever!!!! – Do not buy one. Hasn't worked properly ever. Took 3 back to shop before they stopped swapping them. Had our gas checked and all OK. Definately the heater. Call out fee is ridiculous. Constant flame fail. Even set at 16 degrees is flame fails. This morning I have started it 11 times so far and it has started and then........ FLAME FAIL!!!! Do not buy one if you want to keep warm in winter. does not work
Terrible – I bought this new heater and I have had the same problem as most other reviewers from day 1. In last 3 years, The "Flame Failure" never stop every time we turn on and used. I have followed the manual to clear the the filter etc. but nothing works. I don't know where can I get it fix ? Please tell me where is service centre for this unit. stop selling this product until the problem is fixed.
Terrible – The control panel is ostensibly cosmetic. The unit has one functioning control setting, the power switch at the wall! The other reviews only whet my anticipation of much more disappointment to come. Potential purchasers, run screaming in opposite direction now. Caveat emptor!!! 'Aussie made' (with Chinese and/or Russian parts I'm guessing). We own one.

Works for a few mins and then flame failure – Works for a few mins and then flame failure, Taken it to the service centre 3 times in 2 years and the problem still exists, have asked them to take it back or exchange, they advised to take it to the store from where we purchased which apparaently closed down. We are now stuck with this white (silver) elephant, we now purchased a old Rianni… Read more
heater from family who no longer needed thiers and its works beautifully, much quiter and heats up the room better and is much more effecient. Nice apperance Flame failure, wont reset have to turn and take off the plug every 10 mins and then wait for another 15 -20 mins for the unit to cool off as the top portion at the back gets really hot.
Good – I noticed that if i extend the pipe and make it almost straight without any bends, it works fine, but if there is a minor bend then it keeps giving me flame fail. Try that? Heats well Like others, kept getting flame failure
Terrible – The fan is incredibly noisey and lets this otherwise elegant unit down. If the manufacturer could address the fan noise issue then this unit would be an excellent heater. modern exterior design and control features excessively noisey fan
Excellent – I really feel like the black sheep here. I did have flame fails and had problems trying to reset the heater but rang everdure and they had someone there within days. The not being able to reset was fixed by taking it off the extension lead. I'm really going to be hated for the next part but I'm not sure how he fixed the flame fail but I haven't… Read more
had a flame fail in 1 year since he did. I think he moved a piece of wire on the side of the heater directly into the path of a cigarette size flame thats a bout all I remember. It has been brilliant ever since. I certainly would be worried about buying another one though after reading some of these comments. Good price, heats room well and looks good no problems
OK – It heats up our house well.I have taken it to get the fan noise repaired and was impressed with service and also at the fact that it was at no cost to me. They serviced it for me at the same time as a good will gesture, but on return from shop at first statrt up the flame failures started. It is currently back at the repair dept. (will post… Read more
update) nice design. price was reasonable. noisey fan. flame fail on start up. wont reset(have to turn off at plug)
Terrible – Have contacted the company for a replacement product, not in the Lumina range. I think that I will persue it through the department of consumer protection as $1000 isn't an amount that we can afford to put out for curbside collection. The child-proof lock and the cool exterior It doesn't work and never has. This is the third winter that we have… Read more
had the product and it suffers constant flame failure. The smell of gas is terrible. We have had it ' repaired' and it still doesn't work.
OK – Wish I had read earlier reviews, dreading repair costs. Retailer laughed when I mentioned the brand, apparently they don't usually last very long. Elegant appearance, heats a large area extremely well. Has worked well for 4 years. Noisy fan, almost cannot talk over it. Remote has never worked. Servicing can only be done at Lane Cove - why can't local repairers service these heaters?
Terrible – Good looking products and comsumers kind-will may not always end up good buy! Don't buy EverDure made from this mob. Looks good and it was Aussie made. When I bought it, I have choice of Aussi made and Japs one. I thought it's better to keep my $ here, so you go, I got a crap one. Got exactly the same problem as other complaints. Never work well… Read more
and look like I am not goint to waste my time and $ to repair as it seems to be a design error! Just spoke to their technician, sounds like he does care!
Bad – If it would stay on it would be good as it does heat my home fast {if it stays on for ten min} as I have high piched roofs When its working it warms the home well It will run for 1-10min then go out with the words "flame fail press restart" There is nothing on "Everdre's" web site as how to fix this problem !!! does any one know what to do ????

Terrible – As with the other reviews my Everdure has the flame failure problem but also the fan is excessivley noisy to a point that it is impossible to use. Everdure originally replaced the heater which was good but with another Lumina with exactly the same problem. The new heater is currently at the service centre being fixed (again). Looks very stylish Doesn't work properly and poor service from Everdure
Terrible – I have had the same problem as most other reviewers. Flame Failure appears on the LCD screen. This problem occurred last winter, and was fixed under warranty. I didn't have the receipt so I was happy they still fixed it for free. Can take a few days though, which isn't good in winter. The same problem has just occured. Turns off every 10 minutes.… Read more
I have cleaned the filters, unplugged, restarted - but nothing works. Given the feedback on unreliable repairs, I'm going to ditch this one. The other heaters in the everdure range don't seem to have bad reviews. Heats well, looks good. Unrealiable, flame failure.
Terrible – This whole service process was a bad experience. Apart from the fact that I had to send the thing to Lane Cove, it took about 2 weeks to repair and even though they're sending it back today at their own expense, they can't tell me what day the courier company will deliver it. Not very good for people like me who work during the day. They said… Read more
the courier would leave a card in the door and I'm sure he will, but I can't see the point in getting a courier to go somewhere knowing there's nobody home. I asked for the number of the courier company to try and organise something with them, and Everdure gave me a number that wasn't connected. No surprises there.... It's been alot of trouble. I wish I'd never heard of them. Everdure finally repaired the fan Fawlty Towers service standard
Bad – They have since taken this product off the market and not making it anymore, however still selling in WA so be warned! Great for the first 12months. Great when it works, heats up the large room better than a Rinnai and Convector heater. Lasted 1 year then fan broke, had it repaired and even since then Flame Failure every 10minutes,we are now on… Read more
the 4th replacement, and over retarting the heater every 10minutes have opted for a model down with open grill.
Terrible – Well if I saw these reviews before I purchased mine I would not have bought this model, hence my review to warn other potencial buyers. What a shame, an Australin owned and made product thats absolutely crap.I'll see how their sevice is on Monday and see if this problem can be fixed properly, My opinion stay away from this product. I can't see… Read more
Everdure enduring much longer in the market with useless products like this. looks, LCD display DOES NOT OPERRATE CONTINUOUSLY, works for 3 -5 minute the FLAME FAIL message appears
