Review on High-Performance Convection Heater By Mr. Heater Corp, Ranging From 75K To 200 BTU/HR by Broderick Cash

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is one HOT and LOUD heater

During winters here we can get down to the minus teens (-15F) and we will typically spend weeks in the plus teens (12F). When it is that cold I dont want to do anything in the garage. I have a 50k-200k forced air tube heater that works good but needs 120V for the fan to run and is LOUD.So I bought this Mr. Heater 80k-200k convection heater, that was described as having significant cosmetic damage. The only thing I saw was that the knob was a little bent and so I simply bent it back. This is one BIG, HOT, and LOUD heater. Perfect for heating up my garage quickly. There is no shutoff valve, amd I dont like that i have to turn it off from the main valves of my three propane tanks located outside the garage. I added a ball valve and extension hose so I can kill it from the inside of the garage. It is tall but can be squished down and then stored at half height. Overall it is a heater with excessive output that can heat up a garage quickly. I usually wear hearing protection in the garage anyway (bluetooth type for music and podcasts) so the noise is ok. It burns a lot of propane vapor so it probably needs multiple big tanks. I havent run the tanks out of vapor yet, but will not be at all surprised when that happens. This heater is nice, big, and hot.
