Works great just what I was looking for

This heater works great however the blower/fan is not installed as advertised. Paid extra for this heater blower product to have the blower already installed so was not happy when it arrived.
Honest reviewer –
Super impressed with this “vent free” heater! Using it in an upstairs unit that’s 1050 square feet and it’s been keeping it quite toasty!
I got the LP (Liquid propane) version. I’m using it with the free standing feet and a typical 20# (4.5 gal) BBQ tank. I’ve had it now for over a month and haven’t had any ventilation issues. Every day though, I do open the front door a few times when coming and going and that seems to satisfy it’s need for at least some fresh air. Even though it recommends not leaving it unattended, I’ve left it on over night at least half a dozen times.
A single 20# bottle lasts me about 5 days @ $24/filled. Yes, California propane prices suck.
Thermostat is very consistent. I keep it just under number 2, which keeps the front half of the house at 70 and the back half around 66. Perfect for what I need.
I barely use the fan it came with but, the fan does noticeably increase efficiency. It’s actually even a lot quieter than I expected and had a rather soothing mid-low tone.
My only real issue with this heater (and why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars) is because of how it cycles on/off. When the built in sensor calls for heat, it shoots out pretty large yellow flames for about a second. They mostly shoot straight up & out at roughly 3-4 foot of height. It calms down very quickly though and then keeps a nice, blue flame but, man, that fire up is kinda scary! I keep it far away from any clothes/fabrics, just to be safe. I assume this is due to some kind of quality control issue with the control valve company. If it rolled out the flames slower, it would feel way more “safe” lol.
It would’ve also been nice if they sold it as a kit with a regulator and hose, ready for hook up. Luckily, I’m quite savvy with plumbing and happened to already have a regulator laying around. Might be daunting to setup though for someone that’s not familiar with plumbing.

The installation of the heater itself wasn’t bad but having to install the fan blower was a royal pain until I went bought a short enough screw driver to do the job.

Supplemental heat for the winter of course. So far it’s very easy to operate.

Easy to use. Accurate temperature switch. Warms my garage in extreme cold temps.

Title: An Ode to the Stubborn Pilot Light: A Tale of Perseverance and Thermal Couplers
Introduction:
Ah, the woes of the pilot light! A tiny flame that holds the power to warm our hearts and cozy up our spaces, yet often seems determined to play hard-to-get. In this essay, we embark on a journey through the trials and tribulations of a pilot light that simply refuses to stay lit. Join me as we explore the frustrations, the moments of enlightenment, and the amusing anecdotes that come along with this seemingly simple task.
The Quest for a Steady Flame:
Picture this: a chilly greenhouse, in need of warmth. Our protagonist, armed with a Mr. Heater, eagerly follows the advice of the customer service representative. Blowing out the “Pilot Burner” hole and the “Oxygen Depletion Sensor” with compressed air seems like a straightforward solution, but alas, the victory is short-lived. The pilot light flickers, then disappears, leaving our protagonist in despair.
A Borrowed Heater:
Enter the borrowed heater, an older model that sits confidently in the same spot, never experiencing any pilot light issues. Oh, the irony! As the borrowed heater must be returned, our protagonist is left with no choice but to solve the mystery of the finicky pilot light.
The Elusive Diagram:
Seeking guidance, our protagonist turns to the diagram that accompanies the instructions. To their dismay, it proves to be nothing more than a mere scribble, offering no valuable insights. Ah, the frustration of relying on ambiguous illustrations! But fear not, for our protagonist is determined to conquer this challenge.
The Importance of Placement:
Through observation, our protagonist discovers a valuable nugget of wisdom. The thermal coupler, that tiny yet crucial component, must be placed meticulously inside the pilot flame. A eureka moment! The bracket that holds the pilot flame must also be bent to ensure a direct hit on the thermal coupler. It seems that the fickle nature of the pilot flame requires some creative problem-solving skills.
The Sketchy Pilot Flame System:
As our protagonist dives deeper into the realm of pilot flames, a realization dawns upon them. The pilot flame system is indeed a peculiar entity, prone to unpredictability and capricious behavior. It appears that taming this elusive flame requires more than just technical knowledge; it demands an understanding of its quirks and idiosyncrasies.
The Fruit of Labor:
After careful adjustments and meticulous tinkering, our protagonist’s hard work finally pays off. The pilot light remains steadfast, illuminating the greenhouse for a significant period of time – a glorious thirty hours! The victory is sweet, yet tinged with uncertainty. Will the pilot light continue to shine as the greenhouse grows colder? Only time will tell, and our protagonist eagerly awaits the verdict.
Conclusion:
In the world of pilot lights and thermal couplers, nothing is ever as simple as it seems. Our protagonist’s journey serves as a reminder of the challenges and triumphs we encounter when faced with seemingly mundane tasks. Through frustration, perseverance, and a sprinkle of humor, they have managed to tame the stubborn pilot light, even if only temporarily. As we bid farewell to this tale, let us raise a toast to all the pilot lights that refuse to stay lit – may they forever keep us on our toes and remind us of the joys of problem-solving.

I bought this for my two car garage. I live in the mountains, during the winter months it gets pretty chilly outside (10-32 degrees at night and 30’s-40’s during the day)
For those considering purchasing this heater, just know you’ll need to hit up the hardware store to make the propane connection. I connected mine to a 5 gallon tank outside the garage with a 12′ mr. Heater house w/in line pressure regulator.
The unit works perfectly, heats up my garage in about five minutes and keeps it in the 60’s with ease on its lowest setting.
I’d recommend this heater for sure!
