Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Dura Heat GFA125A: High-Performance Propane(LP) Forced Air Heater with 70K-125K BTU Output by Leah Ramirez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

*Was* best money spent this winter but now useless :(

About 5 weeks maybe 40 hours of use, the propane started to burn very badly. I couldn't hold it for more than 20 Minutes Total shame because it worked perfectly I tried to find information on how to maintain the jet clean something replace something there is nothing in the manual I contacted the manufacturer twice with no answer I stuck with it If anyone knows how to clean the atomizer or how to fix it let me know im very disappointed my garage but my projects stopped when it was below freezing it wasn't very comfortable to freeze my fingertips while I tried drilling and sawing. Turn on the rocket heater! Problem solved. I live in the far north of W Tata near Canada. Usual daytime temperature in winter is around 15-25 degrees. . It was constantly below zero in my garage. The garage is drafty as hell and completely uninsulated. The garage door isn't even insulated, it's just wood. I can run this heater at full power in 45 minutes, which is at least 50 minutes. Then I turn it on for about 10 minutes about every hour to heat it up again. It is very easy to ignite. I'm a 38 year old female of average strength and above average technical ability and had no problems with setup or lighting. You turn on the heater, turn on the fan, turn on the propane tank, wait a few seconds, turn the heater knob to 'light', you hear a click, click, click and once it lights up, push and turn the button. knob and turn it until it stops. It's like lighting a grill. A propane tank can last for days if you don't keep it on all the time. It sounds like a jet plane! But not obnoxiously loud. It burns *very* clean. Smells a bit like propane at first, but not bad. Then it passes after about 2-3 minutes of burning. I didn't even have to ventilate the garage (because there are enough drafts anyway. Your garage may be different). I stumbled next to a carbon monoxide alarm and the monitor doesn't even move from the ground up. As long as you have enough space around it, I don't feel a heater is as dangerous as a kerosene heater (and I'm very careful with things like that). I've used it to briefly warm my living room when the power went out (although of course I don't recommend it).

Pros
  • Heat gun
Cons
  • So far so good
