Very good experience. Ordered this heater on 2/13/07 at night and UPS had it at my house on 2/15/07 in the morning. Works great. I did see it listed somewhere else for a few dollars less but that place didn't have any. This was my first purchase from Amazon and I was a little leary but it worked out great.

I use this heater to heat a 1500 shop. It works well, was easy to assemble and is not too loud. The electric ignition and thermostat shut off are great features.

Have owned this item for over 4 years. Just recently had the ignition module fail (ignition coil), so I replaced the module & while I was in there, replaced the hoses (which were all cracked/split & ready to leak at any moment),the igniter electrode & the air gauge, which was broken the day I received the unit. No surprise, as all parts stamped "made in China". But the unit works great after you play around with the air nozzle adjustment screw to get a good burn, but not so good as to trip the overheat switch, which shuts the unit off until you walk over there & press the reset button -a PITA if your in the middle of a time-sensitive job. Once that was worked out, you'll only need to fine tune it for extreme cold (thicker air). Not worth the $300 I paid in March 2004.

FYI: Unit will NOT run on DIESEL -KEROSENE ONLY. Been there, done that! Diesel is too thick & slows the motor down gradually until it eventually stops (if you let it run that long, you'll probably either burn the motor out or melt the pump vanes). Drain out diesel & refill with Kerosene & it works fine again.

...and the handles are poorly made & need to be welded back together since they broke off. I guess you have to shell out the big bucks for quality these days!

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater MH125KT Forced Air Kerosene Heater

I bought this heater from my Ace store three years ago and I love it!! This is a great heater and performs flawlessly. Thermostat works great. I'm remodelling my old garage and I can work whenever I want as Mr. Heater is always there waiting to help me out. I use only kerosene for fuel as its basically odor free. If I do get a whiff of kerosene I know its getting low on fuel. Pick it up at Ace and put it to work today! Its cheaper there too. Amazon is great, but there are some items that I feel are better purchased locally and this is a case in point.

Amazon shipped this item with a private shipping company which called ahead to schedule delivery and ensured the unit was in good condition. I had some trouble determining the plug type prior to receiving the air conditioner. I wanted the wiring to be ready before it arrived. It comes with the 30 amp 3-prong 240V plug shown in the online manual. It was about a 2-day job to get this mounted thru the wall on my own. I had to enlist a friend to lift it in though. The unit works great compared to my old 120V 10,000 btu air con, plus the heat pump feature will be great for some chilly mornings!

This unit cools or heats three good sized rooms with no problem. 220V uses less electricity than 110V units, so runs cheaper.

Cools great, haven't tried the heat yet. Quiter that others I have seen, seems to be well made. Installation was a breeze.

This replaced a Whirlpool in-wall 25,000 BTU unit that sounded more like an airplane at takeoff than anything else when it was on High. The noise-level is about half of the old AC which is a downright pleasure and does just as well to keep the same area cool.

It is big that's true, and look nice but that's not the point here. Product description says that it can cool room sizes up to 1672 sq. ft. This is not TRUE at all!

I have room 20x20' and this unit doesn't do any good. It makes room cooler but not cool enough. I would expect much more from 25.000 BTU and before this one I had like 10 years old unit 22.000 BTU and I see no differences. So something is not right. On sunny hot day you will sweat. I wouldn't recommend this to no one. Not very good if you need cool your room/house, unless it is small room.

Works exactly as described, but I'm using it for a coffee urn, so it wasn't exactly suited for the purpose. There's a big red label on the piece that sits inside the urn/chafing dish, and over a few uses, it started to disintegrate. I eventually had to remove it using nail polish remover, which took an hour, because it was never meant to be removed. It would have been better had the warning label been designed to be removed.

I was scared to buy this product, since we start using it its too good specially the price its worth it some time magnet stop working and heater falls down but its ok we have screwed it with chaffer. But no doubt product is good, looking for another one on same price.

Many Asian households have this appliance but non-Asians seem to not know about it. This is a convenient way to always have boiling hot water at hand for making tea or instant ramen and instant soups. While the typical "American" electric tea kettle requires you to plug in and boil water each time it is turned on (thereby necessitating a wait of at least 3-5 minutes), this water heater boils water and keeps it boiling hot for days until you dispense all of it and have to refill/reboil it. I have found it very useful to have a personal water heater at my office desk (where it is the envy of all my colleagues yet somehow they are resistant to buying one themselves due to cultural suspicion), and also one at home. One caveat is that since it is constantly plugged in, it may use up a lot of electricity. Also you have to be careful of children accidentally dispensing it and scalding themselves (this model has a "lock" button). Lastly, you should never immerse the appliance in water and it is certainly not dishwashable. The Tiger model is not cheap but it is a high quality, well-made appliance that will last for years.

I got this one to replace a Tiger water heater I got over 16 years ago. That one has to be pumped manually. This one is much better since it pumps the water out automatically.

I like the 6-hr timer (only single setting, single push to activate) that shuts the heater down for six hours then restarts it. This save energy since my house is 50 degree at night and I don't drink in these 6-hr time period. It also heats up the water before I get up. The 3-liter capacity is more than sufficient for my consumption rate of 1.2 L each time. My previous unit was 5-liter, which is too much to heat up.

The lid takes about 2 seconds to get use to. If you use the left hand to open it, you'd need to use your thumb to push down on the front-end which pivots the back end of the retangular latch upward, then use your pointing finger and/or the middle finger to lift the lid up. The lid is removeable for cleaning which is nice.

The insulation is quite good. I set the temperature at 208 deg F and my ambient temperature is 50 deg F constant so the water reheated about 3 hours each time for about 20 seconds. This is not bad at all. Even my bottled hot water heater reheat much often than this, about 20 minutes each time based on the same constant 50 deg F ambient temp.

I bought this unit after reading others' review and they were pretty accurate. I enjoy my coffee at 208 deg F instead of either not hot enough (bottled hot water heater) or too hot using microwave oven.

This unit has a lazy susan which make it very easy to rotate. The negative this is that the power cord is held onto the unit by two rather weak magnets so if you rotate the unit too quick or to much ( greater than 60 degrees), the power cord can detach from the unit easily. Be careful when washing the unit. Read and follow the instruction and the warning label on the unit.

The bottom line: a strong recommendation to buy.

I bought my Tiger water heater in Korea in the mid 90s while working there. I keep it plugged in all day and love this. I was worried I'd not be able to replace this if mine ever quit on me so I just looked it up and so glad I will be able to get another one if mine ever dies. I have this instead of a coffee pot and really love it. Ever so often, I put a cup or so of vinegar into the hot water (fill to the line), unplug it and let it set overnight to clean all the minerals from my water. The next morning, I just wipe with dish rag inside and then I rinse well and fill up again. This keeps any build-up from inside the kettle. I'm just thrilled I was able to find this online to order when I need one. I might even order one soon as a "back-up" just in case. Yes, it's funny when my friends visit, they have never seen anything like this and act like it's an "Asian" thing. Now I can tell them they can get one, too.

I have always found the Tiger brand very reliable and this hot water dispenser is no different. I purchased one for my son 5 years ago It is still in good working order although his had a mechanical pump. This one is all eletronics so when it is not plugged in you cannot dispense any water.

This hot water dispenser is just great. The price is so reasonable for the good quality. It has a good capacity and very simple to use. My parents have the same exact product and they are happy with it as well.

Worked first time. Installed easily. Natural Gas version. One person can lift and place on the wall. Not that heavy. Has a center slotted hanging point then multiple points to secure top and bottom.

Amazon shipped quickly. UPS delivered on time. 2 days.

Need: 1) 120v AC source. 1)3/4" Gas connection. 3/4" water connections.

I removed the sheet rock and installed a plywood back for mounting. Cost of change over: $300. Those fittings, flex hoses, and vent are expensive from Home Depot. They don't have the 3 X 5 heater vent pipes. 3" works fine. Did the install myself.

Will go to 140 deg must must read directions to set it. Nice to have the remote control. Will work with more than one remote. So you can set the temperature for what use. Very small, in relation to a tank. Cannot tell the difference between a tank an the tankless. I use one for the whole house.

This unit started out great and then after one year started throwing error codes. I found out that " normal" maintenance on this thing is going to cost me an extra $200 $500 each year! According to Rheem (manufactuer of Richmond products) I need to have a Plumber come out twice a year and descale the unit and then about every year to year and a half I need to have it completely disassembled and the burners and ignightors cleaned. What a deal this thing turned out to be!

Customer service said I could do it myself and sent me the 12 page instruction sheet for the cleaning of the burners. It involves removing the gas manifolds, control board, burner box, several gas lines, and then reassemble. It requires the removal of at least 50 different screws in very tight places. I am fairly handy at fixing thing and they told me it would take less than a hour. It took me 5! Only to find out the problem was in the control board.

I previously owned a Takagi tankless hot water heater, which is amongst the best one can own. But, this unit most definately blows away the Takagi, and most other units. Installation is simple. The unit requires only a very low flow to start the heater which is super nice. It runs incredible quiet. It is a very small and compact unit, and, best of all, it will save you a ton of money. Rheem also makes an even higher efficiency unit, if you are interested. The construction of this unit is excellent. I highly recommend it.

(BTW... I wouldn't pay too much attention to the reviewer who only gave the unit one star. If these units didn't work (as the reviewer said), then Rheem wouldn't sell them. I would imagine that the one star reviewer was probably a one star installer and that the unit they purchased was just fine. Otherwise, Rheem wouldn't have sent it back to Amazon.)

This was without a doubt, one of the worsy purchases that I have EVER made! Arrived defective and the manufacturer, Rheem, could not have cared less.They refused to replace the bad unit and kept sending plumbers out to touble shoot and fix. After the third plumber, I packed it up and sent it back to Amazon.Amazon was great! they took care of my out of pocket expenses and made me "whole". I will NEVER buy another Rheem product.

The Rheem 8.4GPM tankless hot water heater has a design flaw. Internal to the unit is an observation window used for determining if the burner is working properly. This window has a piece of glass which can fall out, allowing heat from the burner to damage internal components, rendering the unit inoperable. Unfortunately, Rheem will not cover the cost of this failure as they will most likely look for ways to classify the failure as "incorrect installation". In my experience, they did not like the vent termination assembly used, and disqualified any warranty regarding damage induced by the piece of glass falling out, which is wholly unrelated.
