I am considering buying the rims system. I can't find any demonstration classes with this system or anyone personally who owns it. I was wondering is it worth it and difficult is to use. Also is it has consistent as the manufacturer claims

I am thinking about buying the Blichmann BrewEasy All-Grain electric system which I understand is more accurate for mashing and I already have 220 in the basement. I also have been told that if I install a natural gas line specifically for my boil I could do the 60 to 90 minute boil in the basement. I would be interested in any opinions on my ideas and also opinions on the system I am looking at.
Did u buy there thermistor or wort chiller. I use a large copper wort chiller with water I pump out of a ice chiller which works okI have the Brew Easy in 5 gal gas version and love it. As you can see from the picture, I have it next to a large powered vent, so CO and moisture are not a problem. If you are not the handy type, and are looking for a turnkey, unpack it and brew system, then I would recommend this system.

Is it better than a wort chiller. I am going to use it outside but I have heard the electric 220 is better than gas

Electric is better in some respects, gas is better in others. That comes down to a lot of personal opinion and brewing situation.
The fact is though: Electric elements are 100% efficient. All of the heat they produce goes straight into the liquid.
Gas is what, 50-60% efficient? I dont recall the exact number, but it is low. Much of the heat is lost into the air or in heating the metal in the kettle.
I have brewed with gas for years without a problem, but I am slowly making the transition to electric. I am currently working on a 120v electric RIMS system, so that it can be used with my current outlets.
