"Munchkin Boiler Problems"
I have two Munchkin 199 mlp r2 boilers running on propane. Nothing but trouble. Both boilers have failed roughly once per year and need expensive service each time. Technician told me that they are very unreliable. Fan housing on top needs frequent replacement. Boiler needs frequent cleaning and is hard to clean due to design. Only 4 years old and I now have to replace both since they are too much trouble.

"banging issue"
Since having the unit serviced, my boiler makes a loud growling noise every time it fire's up. It has gotten to the point where it prevents me from sleeping. The service man is unable to resolve, and have failed to get factory to respond. I would not recommend this unit unless you buy the service agreement beyond 5 years so you can get it replaced without cost

"Piece of crap"
We have had a Munchkin high efficiency heater now for 6 years the unit is unreliable. If will shut off giving an f09 error once to twice a year. You can not safely leave your home for a extended period of time in the winter months knowing that the unit will shut down and pipes will freeze. The unit has to be periodically maintained. I would not recommend this unit or brand to anyone.

"Highly efficient at costing me money!"
POS for sure. Installation not the problem, it's the unit itself. Flooded crawl last year, replacement parts cost $2,200. Sitting here on Feb. 8, 2012 waiting for heating co. to fix. Have a pro error, which deals with pressure, so we will see if the installation is all that. Have a wood insert that can help with the heat so an overworked unit is not the issue either. Should be a rating even lower than very unsatisfied, something like...well I will keep it clean.

"I'm so lost!"
Purchased our condo 2.5 years ago. The first 1.5 years went great with our Munchkin t80m in place. This past winter we have been receiving f14 (fan runs at 130% for 60 seconds) codes all the time. It's weird, it would happen all the time when the temperature dropped below 5 degrees outside. Otherwise, it'll come and go below about 20 degrees. Our hot water tank and baseboard heating is fed off the machine. I called service on it a few days ago and he just went through the technical guide that I also have that came from the Munchkin website. 1. check the wires. He unplugged then plugged back in the wires to see if all connections were in tact. It was. He then said that I needed a new blower assembly motor because that is what the "guide" said. I asked him if he knew if that was the problem, he said "well, it looks fine but that is what the guide said to do next". Total loss of confidence i called them back the next day (yesterday) to speak with the manager. I conveyed to him that i hated throwing money at something that they didn't even know was broken. I was also quoted the blower motor costs without labor 800$. The Manager called the Munchkin rep in town to discuss with him my issue. The munchkin tech said that he believed that it was control board and not the motor. The manager told me that he will change out the control board for 400$ and that should fix the problem. If it doesn't then he'll take off 400$ of the cost of the blower motor since i already purchased the new control board. Today, new control board and the tech left. After 3 hours later, i got another code. (I also noticed that the temperature on the digital display panel moved a lot slower than before) It was F13 now! (fan runs too slow!!) New control board and now the blower motor doesn't run fast enough?! I wonder if it was even the motor to begin with. And also, when it ignites, it sounds weird. Don't know how to explain it but it just doesn't sound normal. If i know what that even sounds like. I'll call him again tomorrow, the labor work is under warranty. Any additional insight would be greatly appreciated and more than welcomed. Thank you!

"Worst decision I ever made trusting Munchkin boilers"
Have two Munchkin boilers in my home in Utah. These boilers are now about 6 years old, and have never worked. I spend about $1000 each year trying to keep them running with no help from the company just more excuses. I would never recommend these to anyone unless you enjoy repair bills.

"5 years of hassle"
I have had this unit for 5 years and have had a service guy out many times. 3 times this year. I had to replace the pressure switch recently and today it's doing the same thing (error po) not enough pressure to stay on. I believe now it was never the pressure switch. He has "flushed" I think 5 times now . This fixes the issue but only temporarily. I think at this point I will trash this thing and start over with something better. I'd rather have something less efficient and more durable. PS: originally I had glycol in the radiators and was told switching to water would help -- it did not.

"Fed Up in Wisconsin"
Has not worked properly in the 7 years we have had this unit. At least 3 times per year we are calling for service since we have no hot water. The unit starts to make a loud sound like a motorboat then quits. Several years ago I finally called the rep without notifying my installer and when he came out he told us that something was installed improperly and was causing our problems. Also that this mistake would cause a decrease in longevity of the unit. When our contractor came to fix it he said that was not true. We have since gotten rid of the installer but may just skip the floor heating and buy a regular hot water heater. What a waste of money for this piece of junk.

"contender"
Junk, Lemmon! Terrible machine. Falt codes all the time, almost shakes itself apart. So bad my heating company replaced it with a new one because they couldn't get the first one to run correctly. This second machine is just as bad. Shakes and falts out every week!
