This is my second Rinnai direct vent propane heater. The other one was the EX08CP which shares the same outside and manual. Even though the BTU’s on these are smaller than comparable units, they heat just fine. I installed this unit (EX11) in a 20 x 16 shop with little insulation. When the shop is in the 40’s it only takes about 5 mins to where it is workable, because the air coming out is hot (unlike electric heat) and radiates as well as circulates. In my first review of the EX08 I gave it four stars because of the poor manual. It̵7;s obviously a translation into English (Rinnai’s are made in Japan). But the fact is the heaters are so much better than any of the others (most others are made in China), it deserves 5 stars.A trick I found, is even if you don’t have the manometer, which I understand are inexpensive for a basic one, you can still follow the instructions and set the unit for the altitude your at. I’m at about 2,600 elevation and at first I left it at the stock setting, which was for 0-1,000 feet and it worked great, expect with about 1 out of 8 propane tanks (I use 20lbs tanks from the grocery store for convenience) it would not ignite. Once I set it to proper elevation it works every time.
The only con I see, is they only work with electricity, so if the electricity goes out, you will need another emergency heat source. But all the ones I looked at and tried that would operate without electricity were cheaply made and did not work as well.
