Mr. Heater Vent Free Heater, One, White

Lo utilizo para calentar el segundo piso de mi casa y se tarda como 30 minutos para alcanzar una temperatura comfortable. Aunque consume una cantidad considerable de gas pero era de esperarse.

Excellent heater for a small shop or garage workshop. It would be great for a 600 to 750 square foot shop.
I have a 1,500 square foot shop with 12’ ceilings and it’s not nearly enough for that size, but I knew it going in. I’m in the Deep South, so it’s enough for our relatively mild winters. In an insulated 750+ square foot area it would keep you toasty in real cold temps! It is open flame, so keep “everything” away from the front! It’s exactly what I expected and has Mr Heater quality! Cons: It burns through propane pretty quickly but it IS 30,000 BTU . Thermostat works just right ! The fan is purchased separately. It’s pretty weak, but a small oscillating fan placed behind the heater would work better to circulate the air! I would absolutely recommend this heater.

Like a boat or a RV this is an expensive hobby. This thing is going to cost you about $200 to buy. A little less when it is warm & a little bit more when it is cold. But you have not even begun to spend. It comes with nothing to make it work. You still need fittings. a hose, a tank, a regulator, propane, you get the idea.

So now you are out about $400 (yes that $200 is going to double before you are done). Mr. Heater has a kit for about $55 that has the hose, fittings & 2 stage regulator. You should get some kind of coupon code or something if you bought the heater. Nope cha-ching $255 & counting….. Wait you need propane, big box store here we come. You don’t have a trade in. So the first tank is going to cost you $65 around here. There are the little things but I don’t want to count pennies.

It is now you realize it is the PRINTER/INK SCAM!!! You are going to connect it to the tank & LOVE IT!!! It is everything the good reviews say it is. Like easy to setup, to light, to operate. The blue flame is easy on the eyes. Be warned propane burns blue with clean air. It is going to burn an orange/yellow if you are going to kick up any dust. Do not panic if you have a humidifier going. Turn this on and it is burning yellow. It is not malfunctioning. It is just burning the minerals in the air. The heater itself is not ugly. For the next couple of days you are going to love it. It is so nice to look at & so nice and warm (of course it is only 66 degrees outside but you ignore that).

You are ready to start bragging & POOF you need more propane. Hmmm that was only 3 days of mild use. You ignore that too. You have a trade in so now it is only $30 bucks. Now it drops into the 40’s & POOF!!!! This is getting annoying. So another $30… what are we at now $380. As you ask around you find out those 20 pound tanks are only filled to 15 pounds. You need your own tank. One that you don’t need a truck to own. One that is not to heavy to lift/carry. 30 Pounds is the way to go. It is 2 of the trade ins yet cost less to fill then one trade. So another $100 and it gets into the 20’s outside. Wait a second this thing is not as warm as it was (when it was 66 outside & you still have not researched BTU’s). Can it heat 750 square feet when it is 66 degrees? Yes, as long as it does not get any lower. The lower the temp, the lower the square footage. If you drop the temp from 66 to 26 then your square footage will be about 250 sq ft….. With a 30 degree bump. To bring that 26 up to 56 @30,000 BTU’s (30 degree bump) is going to shrink it to 250 sq ft. It will already be running non stop. To get it warmer, you need to shrink the square footage even more. Wow but owning your own 30 pound tank sure made things better. Yes you ignored things and are out $500 but it is finally over. It does have the flaws of the bad reviews as well. It needs glass or something. It is to easy for anything to contact open flames. When set to 1 it makes real weird sounds like it is getting ready to take off on a runway. No matter the setting there is going to be that whoosh of flames @ ignition. Who cares it is yours. You are out working in your detached garage. There is a heavy snow falling outside the window with gusting winds. You are staring at the blue flames being warm as this little heater tries to battle a PLANET. You just sit back and enjoy & POOF!!!!!

El piloto no se mantiene encendido hasta que cierras uno de los orificios de aire de el. También se debe comprar por separado el regulador de baja presión. Una vez resuelto esto funciona de maravilla, tiene buena potencia.
