One you can buy new and one you can't. I think the Hitzer is a more reliable unit.

I have one of each now sitting in the garage that I remodeled both and I’m gonna put one of these down in my basement but haven’t decided which one yet the Harman is a direct vent. Hitzer is a power vent but could change it to and exterior chimney

I have used the harman DVC in the past, you are going to love it if you gp that route.

It is cleaner and easier to maintain

I would use the hitzer with a chimney since it supports more BTU, for direct vent or power vent i would go Harman
