Used for baby chicks

We had 4 chicks hatch in December, so we had to raise them in the greenhouse. With some nights dipping into the 20's, the heat lamp wasn't sufficient. This little propane heater got them through the coldest nights in the 10x12 greenhouse.

Pros
  • Worked great - warmed up the inside of a 3-person tent in a few minutes on a 14-degree morning.
Cons
  • Not ideal for use during windy conditions

Put this money toward a better warmer tent

This is just weird. Not supposed to use it indoors. If I'm outside I will set by the campfire. Put this money toward a better warmer tent!

Pros
  • Not bad for the money
Cons
  • Propane canisters can be expensive to purchase

The Knob is made out of cheap plastic

use it in my deer hunting blind this year . worked great for keeping my hands and feet warm but did not keep a 60x60x72 tent blind really warm temps were in the low 20 at that time but 40-45 is much better then 20 . it would run about 4-5 hours on a 1lb propane tank switching between med and low heat . the knob is not the greatest being made out of cheap plastic but i did not have any problems with it yet . You need to carry a Stick lighter with you to light the bruner this it does not have its

Pros
  • Works great
Cons
  • The propane tank needs to be frequently refilled

NOT WORTH THE $ FOR 2 MONTHS OF USE

I was excited when I first got this. however I am now sincerely disappointed that it no longer works 2 months later, right after the return window closed. It was a waste of $ for me. a woman on a fixed income.

Pros
  • This product is simple to use and worth the price on those cold days.
Cons
  • May not provide enough heat if the propane tank is low

Valve defective on my review.

The valve on this heater is cheap plastic . I am on my second heater and the valve knob broke off after three uses. Thirty two days , just past the return time of the thirty day return policy. How convenient !

Pros
  • Just ok just wasn't big enough to keep hunting blind warm. But good product.
Cons
  • Can be difficult to control the temperature accurately

Base not so great but love the rest

The heater works great but the base likes to fall off when moved. Only other complaint would be no igniter. That's my review.

Pros
  • Okay
Cons
  • Can be challenging to find replacement parts if something breaks

I returned it. It was a little to small and it seem like it wouldn't heat nothing. It didn't work right. It isn't worth the price

Pros
  • I use this camping when it gets cold at the picnic table
Cons
  • Can be challenging to ignite in colder weather

At wrong angle, unless on the floor. Not adjustable angle

If anywhere other than the floor it aims above you and go's up to the ceiling and wastes the heat.The dish doesn't do anything. It doesn't concentrate the heat forward. It's pretty weak and the flat front other types are 3x better in my experience. Returning for sure.

Pros
  • Nice size but very noisy
Cons
  • Requires lighter to turn on

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Small and portable great for what i need.

Havent gotten a chance to use it yet. Bought it to use when hunting. (this deer season got to me). Wish it had a way to add an igniter, but using a lighter is ok as I carry one with me when hunting.

Pros
  • Good for a cheap thing still quality product
Cons
  • Can produce a distracting noise when in operation

Works as expected. good for me

The provided separate base does not protect from tip over. A simple, tight fitting, rolled plastic sheet extension fixed this.

Pros
  • Todo gracias
Cons
  • The hose attachment may not be secure enough

he says it works great, he and his buddy have used it twice .

Bought for my husband, uses it on golf cart, he says it works great, he and his buddy have used it twice and says it very good on the amount of propane it use's, would buy it again.

Pros
  • Heater worked as described
Cons
  • May emit an unpleasant smell that can be distracting

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well. Stays lit.

Works Great. I bought an adapter to fill it from my bbq propane tank and and adapter so it fits in the golf cart cup holder. Works an entire round.

Pros
  • Easy to use. Works well in my small permanent blind. Would love a piezo, but would buy again!
Cons
  • used it once, turned it off and the plastic knob broke, please do not waste your money

It is not as advertised. False claims.

They claim it has a matchless electronic iginition. It does not. You have to have a match or lighter to use it. The only reason that I bought this model was because of their claim to have an electronic iginition. Very dissapointed. You can not adjust where you want to aim the heat. The heater is fixed position.

Pros
  • Kinda hard to light with safety valve and know is difficult to turn.
Cons
  • Potentially dangerous when used in enclosed spaces

Works great. But. best in my review

Works great :)the only bad thing is that the knob is very cheaply made and I feel that it will break off quickly. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Worked great for our outdoor party
Cons
  • May not provide enough heat during extremely cold temperatures

A great convenience

Compact and so handy. Was a gift for my son and wife. Their friends all ended up in their tent to warm up when weather got cold and rainy.

Pros
  • Great heater works just like they said it would buy it
Cons
  • Portable design makes it easy to knock over

My husband loves this heater.

My husband uses this in his hunting hut. He says it puts off a lot of heat. Has to turn it on low or turn it off after just a little while.

Pros
  • Use it in a two-person ice shelter, warms it really well on the low setting. Great heater!
Cons
  • The light produced can be bright and distracting
