So I am researching water heaters/showers. Zodi seems to have a good rep around here, but...
I found a single propane burner shower, model 6187, at my BX for what looks like a good price. Cross-checking their website yields no 6187, but a 6185 and 6189. The descriptions are identical, the pictures show one with plastic tub and the other with black bag, same msrp. The local SW has a single-burner also, that looks completely different (3 foldout arm legs) model that isnt on the website.
Then look at "extreme" model (8170). No mention of water capacity, a worthless BTU number, and not much explanation of the hand-pump operation. Same msrp price as above. Oh yea, the parts section mentions other model numbers of "extreme". No idea what the diff is.
So here we have a company with a seemingly good product, at least with potential, that has a website that generates more questions than answers. No way to discern the difference between three similar units, and a seemingly higher performance unit. They do of course mention the "stunning" picture on the box. Is it any mystery why this company's products seem to languish?
Theres a business lesson here somewhere.
Happy to listen to any detailed reviews from users though...
