Absolutely Love it ! Get it now!

Even a novice like myself installed it safely and properly in our living room after lots of self education. No one source of education was enough. I learned a lot from talking to various plumbers, read the manual several times, watched lots of youtube videos, and talking to Mr heater customer service reps. Long hold times but they're great.• Get the correct install / hose kit (Installation Kit, Model# F273684) as recommend by mr heater - not amazon which includes a regulator• Keep the propane…

Pros
  • Plenty of heat.Fan is useless.5 heat settings, gas not stable below setting 3
Cons
  • The vent-free design poses a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if not used properly

Among the better choices, but plastic feet?

This stove replaced an inefficient, poorly designed New Buck wood burning stove, in the very large dining room of our drafty old farm house. 14 truckloads of inefficiently burned firewood per season, compared to under 100 bucks in our coldest month.More importantly, the warmth is consistent. Reliable. Not dependent upon me waking up three times a night. Clean. Comfortable.Oh, yeah, back to this specific stove.Plastic legs. How stup!d was that? It makes lighting or adjusting while freestanding a

Pros
  • Heats up garage very nicely, had plumber run the gas line to the new location. Mounting was very easy.
Cons
  • The black finish may show dust and grime easily

You can NOT RETURN this item.

Mr. Heater makes great heaters. Have owned several. But you can NOT RETURN THIS ITEM. I made a mistake and ordered natural gas instead of propane. So I'm stuck with a heater I can not use. Be careful with your order and you'll be pleased. I've owned several of this brand.very pleased with the ones I can use.just hate that I threw away the $ for something I can't use

Pros
  • Great addition to use for supplemental heat
Cons
  • Never opened the box. Revain will not let me return this unit… Needed propane gas unit not natural gas

Don't waste your money.

Does not heat that well. Only good thing I can say is that it is easy to install. Listing makes it look like it comes with a fan with an additional fan for purchase. This comes with no fan whatsoever. I wish I had never wasted my money.

Pros
  • Great little heater. I used it to heat a gutted flip house this winter. Worked very well.
Cons
  • The unit may produce a yellow flame which is not as aesthetically appealing

UnbeatableSale difficult to work with

My frustration with this purchase was not with the product, but with the provider, UnbeatableSale. We returned the item unopened because it was wrong for our needs and ended up losing close to $100 between covering the return shipping and the "surcharge”. I will not be giving them my business in the future and would caution anyone else who might be considering purchasing a product from them.

Pros
  • Keeps my garage just right. I have 14 fish tanks in my fish room garage and it works great
Cons
  • The flame may cause discoloration or damage to nearby walls or furniture

No blower! in my review

Misleading information. Shows a blower in the pictures and in questions, says it comes with a blower. It did not. The flame may not be visible in well-lit rooms.

Pros
  • Home & Kitchen
Cons
  • The flame may not be visible in well-lit rooms

Works great! Heats up garage easily! LOTS OF HEAT.

Update: it stopped working so I cleaned out the lines with my air compressor. After that it works just as good as new again! 2 &1/2 years and still going strong!Bought this heater for my two car garage. On a 30 degree day I can get the garage so hot it is uncomfortable. The heater does have a built-in fan although it is piss poor and not even worth the mention. The switch to operate the fan is also in an awkward location BEHIND the heater so when it’s wall-mounted if you have large hands you…

Pros
  • 30, 000 BTU per hour
Cons
  • The heater may not be suitable for use in high humidity areas

For price and convenience this heater works great

Had installed in garage, a friend put in. He changed a few things for installation on wall just to make secured. He said what I do in garage nice heater, one thing he told me to make sure you insulate garage in ceiling if you don’t you could get mold because of humidity which I will do. Thank you

Pros
  • Space Heaters
Cons
  • The unit may cause a slight increase in gas bills during colder months

NOT FOR PRIMARY HEATING

I WAS TOLD THIS MR. HEATER WOULD HEAT A 1000 FOOT GARAGE. NOT TRUE, MR. HEATER CAN NOT BE USED IN A 650 FOOT GARAGE CONVERSION AS A PRIMARY HEATER.

Pros
  • Keeps my wood shop nice all winter long and my gas bill didn't go up much love it
Cons
  • The flame effect is artificial and not as realistic as some other units on the market

Not for LP: my feedback

When searching I added their model for LP to my cart, got recommended the black Model and it’s information looked the same. But the box it was delivered in says natural gas only. it’s not returnable or replaceable. So now I have a heater with no way to use it, our area can’t get natural gas. DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE PROPANE!

Pros
  • As described, Fast Delivery! Install was a breeze.
Cons
  • The heater gives off a strong smell when first turned on

Getting the right product. I ordered the wrong heater.

I ordered the wrong heater. I wanted a small bathroom heater. This product has never been used. It is still in the original box, never taken out. May I please return it?Joanne Berry12/8/21

Pros
  • Natural Gas Space Heaters
Cons
  • The unit requires a nearby electrical outlet for proper operation

Excellent Product I Am 100% Satisfied

Much better than expected.Heats my 2 car garage in 16 degree Fahrenheit outside temperature to any warmth desired.I can get to 90 degrees with no problem within 15 minutes.Generally the temp dial is set to below # 1 and it is steady at 58 degrees Fahrenheit. I really like the look, thermostat and built in fan.The fan is not noisy on my unit.If you need a heater this is a Great Find.

Pros
  • Great product!!
Cons
  • The heater may not work well in high altitude areas

Heats oversize 2 car garage easy

Had a smell on low setting; however, after 1 month it went away.Heats from 15 to 20 degrees to 70 degrees in about 15-20 minutes.Mounted mine 2 feet up and have a fan blowing air.Did not come with a blower fan.Easy to install (overall) a few trips to Lowes to get gas line attachments

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • The heater can emit a hissing sound during operation

Pros
  • Great value and is working great
Cons
  • The flame can be too intense and not adjustable

Cons
  • Had this hooked up for maybe 2 months and now it doesn't work!

Happy to be warm: my feedback

Excellent shopping experience! Keeps my 480 sg.ft. garage 50 degrees on setting #1 in 10 degree winter weather! That's my review!

Pros
  • Works great for a 2 car garage. Best investment you’ll make for your garage.
Cons
  • The unit requires maintenance and cleaning to operate safely

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked right out of box .

Heats 1086 sqft at 60 degrees, but NO more. It's rated for a 10000 so . Keeps my hunting and reloading equipment up stairs 65 or so. So it served the purpose.

Pros
  • Automatic low oxygen shut-off system
Cons
  • The heater may not be suitable for households with children or pets

GOOD heater but could be better

Really good product and using in garage but in when it's really cold outside I wish it was vented. Loved the idea of not having to vent it but when that heater is blasting it definely has a exhaust fuse smell. Insulated and finished my garage for workout center but not happy with fuses. Normal days you can't smell anything at all.

Pros
  • I live in Montana, this heater heats my 3 car garage with ease.
Cons
  • The unit can be noisy when igniting or heating up

GREAT Natural Gas Garage Heater

I purchased this to replace my old propane tank mounted Mr. Heater heater (I know, that sounds funny!) and could not be happier! I did my homework before buying this.and am glad I did. After doing much research and calculating, I found that the estimated cost per hour to run this heater would come to about $.28/hour, while the cost to run my propane heater comes in at about $.80/hour. BIG savings there!As a bonus, this heater came with the optional fan already installed. Awesome!During the…

Pros
  • Heating, Cooling & Air Quality
Cons
  • The heater may not provide even heat distribution throughout a room
