So far I've only used this a couple of times. I wanted a small heater for the cabin in my sailboat. This fit the bill, and does a perfect job. The tip over switch is sensative, which is a good thing. Bump it and it goes off. Easy to light and works awesome.

used camping in a 10x10 ez-up. never fully warmed the area even on high, but was good for spot warming (feet).
Wouldn't say it is worth the $75 I spent on it, but it was ok.

This was purchased for an outdoor structure that is 8'x8' (treehouse). It is easy to use by all and has done a great job heating the area in no time!

The low cost combined with the ability to use this heater both indoors and out make it a very versatile tool.
This is the second one I have purchased. It runs about 4 hours per canister.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Nice heater works great. Heated up about 500sq ft to 65*when the power was out for a week though not that cold upper 20's at night. get over 4 hrs on high out of a little can. need to by an adapter to run 20lb tank I thought it was included by the way they made it sound. $75 a little steep 40 to 50 would be better. Would not leave it running while sleeping even though they say it as a O2 sensor. I would just put it in the bedroom for 45 min before bed and get it up to 80+ before bed
Yes, I recommend this product.

We bought this for "car camping" in our van at ski resorts. It kicks out enough heat to get the van warmed up while we get ready.

Excellent product
,PostedFebruary 4, 2011
This is one useful product, a must have to survive power outages and loss of heating. I chose this unit over its bigger brother as it provides adequate heating for a small to medium room and provides longer usage hours.
The build quality is very good and its very easy to use.
I'd recommend getting the 5 ft extension hose from Mr.Heater and connect it to a 20lb propane tank for more than 72 hrs of non-stop heating.
Very thoughtful safety features made me choose it.

I have 2 of these units and use them all of the time while working in unheated places.. They are a grate small unit that makes my work comfortable .. They don't use a lot of gas if used on low... I found one in a trash pile and snatched it up,, all that it needed was to clean out the pilot tube with some alcohol and a small Q-tip.. This unit has worked for 6 years now... I do recommend using the filter on your hose...
Yes, I recommend this product.

Green house heat
,PostedNovember 26, 2010
My wife and I were looking for a heater for our 800 sq ft green house to get it through the winter. We turned to this efficient little tag a long and it works fine. We added a hose to make it work off a 20# tank and it last for 3 days. Although the temp in the green house only rose to 40 degrees; that was all we were looking for. When the over night lows were in the 20 degree range, this little heater did just what we wanted; kept everything from freezing!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Good product for price
,PostedJanuary 11, 2010
I purchased this item over a year ago. It works very good only had a few times it was hard to start. It is safe because it shuts off if it is tilted. It is great for heating my camper when I did not want to fire up the main heat. I also use it in my deer stand, which makes staying there easier.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Does it job and more....
,PostedDecember 13, 2009
I use my heater to heat my motorhome. Works excellent. We do most of our camping in October and November in the Ozarks region of Missouri. We have also used it in power outages in the winter to keep lower level of house warm. Would buy two more if needed.
Yes, I recommend this product.
