This will be cheap rubbish that will operate poorly and end up as landfill.
Be warned that Mytopia is another trading name for AGR Machinery and Edisons. Any good reviews are generally false.

Their website is full of phony reviews or ones left when the product arrived. This is one review that sums it up - http://www.productreview.com.au/p/baumr-ag-bcx720.html
Review from Whirlpool
"I'm sorry to say you have bought a pile of junk. Bought one of these off that mob and it was the biggest pile of rubbish, the plastics broke the motor and shafts would not lock into place and the pull stater broke on its second start and they refused to sent me a replacement even after I sent a picture of the broken unit, edisons are well known to sell junk and there support is not much better, good luck."
"It's worse. Alias 'agrmachinery' and 'mytopiastore'. They are scum and protected by the fleaBay rating system.
The Search tab on the left will find real experiences… keeping it local.. then there's google."Edison's even posted a fake review in the thread…

And of course the master AGR machinery thread with hundreds of negative experiences that are all genuine.

and then read whirlpool and ozbargain, eg: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/286720Probably prefer this https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/komodo-portable-gas-water-heate… and Kogan might be reasonable for warranty. I'd maybe buy extended warranty though, 6 years for $120 delivered. Not sure on warranty terms and servicing etc etc
Is OP associated?
Creating an account, posting, then logging out is certainly suspicious, but that’s up to the mods to investigate I guess
dont sit around waiting to see if people will like what I post. Just trying to help others. Thought thats what ozbargain was about.
And you’ve clarified you’re not associated so all is good with the world 👍🏾
Welcome to OzBargain and thanks for sharing.
All my friends and I have used the Glind for the last 20 years, never had a problem with them.
Mate bought one of the Coleman instant gas water heaters only used it once and then it sat in the shed for the rest of its life.
There is a NZ brand that gets a lot of noise about quality though I think they are pricy.
I think its Rinnai Infinity if memory serves.
Bosh and Rheem also had a good name and may still do.
Its been some years now since I was last in the market but back then, Rinnai had the best warranty of the lot.I have one that came with my camper. Still in box and probably always will be.
If you are camping and have enough fresh water to use this as your own personal shower you are 99/100 going to have an amenities block and hot showers anyway.
I am not associated but thought that it might be good. Sorry if you disagree.
Sounds like there are some negative reviews out there on the company.
I don't think anyone is knocking your posting what appears to be a bargain price on a product.
I wouldn't take it personally that someone has found bad reviews as they are knocking the manufacturer and not you.
Its all good, so don't stop looking for bargains to post as no-one expects you to be an expert on each and every items that appears to be a great price.
We all learn from the various posts and feedback, both good and bad.
