The heater was beyond my initial expectations in quality and performance. Additionally, the delivery time was just three days with excellent packaging.

I bought this for a 2 car garage with loft. Currently the garage is not insulated, but I’m working on that. It is able to keep some of the chill out of the air and after a few hours of running it starts to get a bit warmer. That being said I’m on a 5” slab of concrete so it’s a massive heat sink. Based on the rated heat output of the device, it’s doing quite well for what I’m expecting it to do, as my demand is much higher than it can supply at the moment.If you are installing in a garage, you will need a marine through-hulk exhaust and something to route the intake outside. And a 12v power source at least 15amps.My only complaints so far with it are that the company rates it at 40 watts of power draw, but on startup and cooldown it peaks around 140-150 watts as it’s running the glow plug before dropping down to about 40 watts. They also have intake and exhaust ports switched in the diagram on the website and the manual it comes with is poorly written. I was able to figure it out before I started the install with the help of some YouTube videos. It also doesn’t come with a fuel filter installed, so I had to buy that separately. My only other issue is that when it starts up it smells like diesel coming out of the hot air output but I’m getting no readings of carbon monoxide or any visible smoke to accompany that smell so not sure what to make of it. It goes away quickly though and once started there is no smell.I have run it for about 3 days, 6-8 hours each day and used about 1.5 gallons of fuel. From my research I’ve read that it will run on just about anything. So I’ve been mixing diesel with the couple ounces of fresh oil I had left over from oil changes. I also put some 2 stroke oil in with it and no issues. Good way to clean out all the miscellaneous bottles in the garage and get “free” heat. I plan on burning waste motor oil in the future with it once I have a good way to filter it before I burn it.I would recommend this to anyone with enough skill to be able t

This in a great compact alternative to a wood stove or dangerous portable kerosene heaters. I use this to heat an 8’ X 16’ shed/workshop (128sq ft). It’s partially insulated (work in progress) and it really heats up fast. When it’s 30F outside, this will heat it up to 65-70F in about 30 minutes, maybe less. It will then keep the workshop at 70F while on its lowest setting all day. I really love how little fuel it uses.I decided to utilize every bit of heat this thing produces and purchased a longer exhaust pipe and made a few loops with it. This alone produces a decent amount of heat, no sense in letting it heat the outdoors :) I also purchased a through-hull exhaust port to really finish it off. All in all I’m very happy with this heater, it’s quiet enough that I can easily have a conversation with someone while in the workshop without feeling like we’re raising our voices.

I really like these heaters. Too bad diesel prices are so high. I have one in each camper and one in the back of my truck cap.

It has a Tinnie cheap case ,the control screen is hard to read ,the remote is the size of Barbie's cell phone and the manual only covers the crazy cryptic remote/screen menu . So no I wouldn't recommend this heater as it is only a step above an easy bake oven

Works great, easier to take a guess at setting it up rather than trying to read the nonsensical instructions

Great little unit us it in my shop does the job fine and uses very little fuel 12 volt power is nice also very portable I can move it easily and every where I work I recommend this unit for anyone who is looking for a great heating system for shop

Great Little Heater!!! Looking to get a couple more!!

So, after many, many hours of research, I decided on this unit. The instructions are better thank the chinglish others have and it’s pretty straightforward. I installed this in our 40’ 5th wheel as we are full time living in it. The wife does not like to be cold and this unit I planned as a supplement. Easy install with a few upgrades to exhaust vent, fuel line and clamps. Keeping it at the lowest setting maintains a 66 degree temp int the entire 5th wheel. It uses just under 1/2 gal a day of diesel for 24 hours of non stop use (temps outside were 27-56 degrees). Love the dry heat and if diesel prices come down, my end up being my primary source of heat. Currently, it uses just over 1 gal for the highest heat setting. Hope this helps if your in the fence.

I installed this in my small (16x20) uninsulated wood shop. I was using a Kerosun kerosene heater but didn't like having an open flame or the smell associated with this type of heater. All in all I would say that this heater puts out a similar amount of heat as the Kerosun without the negatives. I bought a 10amp 12v power supply (puck) but it was insufficient to energize the glow plug long enough to ignite the heater and I would get an E-2 error code (low power). Ended up buying a 30a 12v regulated power supply and it works. FYI I adjusted the pot resistor on the power supply to 15v output and everything works fine, it increased the fan speed so more air out and hopefully a little more heat.
