I have only had this up and running for a little over a week, but it's been really cold, so it's been a great test of what it can do.It's replacing a 60,000 BTU vented heat stove that's around 65 years old. When I saw the square footage that that is listed as it's effective limit, I was a little skeptical about its ability to heat my whole house where temps often fall below zero for about three months each winter.I got the optional blower, but it's not strong enough to distribute the heat very far. It's still worthwhile, because it blows the rising column of heat far enough to place a more powerful fan just above the heater without it getting hot. That fan, aimed upwards at about 30°, redirects the rising heat wherever it's pointed, and even keeps adjoining rooms comfortable.It's gotten down to 0 and below the last two nights, and the heater hasn't been set above 2 either night. It was even a little warmer than I wanted when set at 2, so last night was about 1 1/2.One difference from the old heater that takes some getting used to is the way it regulates the heat output. The old units on/off cycles were much longer. The flame would stay on for several minutes (depending on where the thermostat was set), and then they'd go off for a while.This unit can cycle on and off a couple times in about a minute. Not that it's bad, just different; sort of like it micromanages the output.After such a short while, I obviously can't rate it durability, but it seems sturdy enough.The little assembly involved in attaching the feet was quick and easy, but I let a pro hook it up. He had to tie into the existing line and run an extension about 7 feet. Mainly, he had the stuff and experience to check for any leaks properly. I probably could have done it all pretty easily, but I feel better knowing it's all done properly by a guy I have known for a long time.If you're debating getting a primary heater and wonder if this will be enough, it will easily handle more than the 1,000 square feet listed.

I converted my third car garage over to an office. I have tried a couple of different room heaters to keep it warm after reading the reviews. I decided to go with this propane wall hanging heater. It was very easy to install. The price was very good. it looks awesome on my wall. It puts out a ton of heat, which makes my office very comfortable. I hooked it to 100 gallon propane tank and I did not have to buy any special adapters. It basically comes ready to go. If you decide to hook it to propane, it will require a dual regulator That you can purchase from Mr. Heater.

The heater is amazing. Currently using it to heat 2,000 sq ft. Only issue we had was the way it arrived at he box was destroyed. Fortunately the heater wasn't damaged that I can see and still work wonderfully.

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!!!!!

This heater is great for your duck blind shop or backup heat for the house. Works great and is portable.

This one puts out the heat, I had some issues and the answers were in the owner’s manual if I had read it correctly and before I went off half cocked, my only real concern was location of installation, don’t put it in front of a fireplace or near it, it has a draft and won’t work properly, I put it against a wall away from drafts and I had a nice blue flame and plenty of heat. Another thing don’t get the fan that mounts in the back, it’s useless and noisy you can find other blower options on line that works better

El calefactor llegó en excelentes condiciones y en el tiempo indicado. Funcional, calienta bastante bien el segundo piso de la casa.

Calienta toda nuestra casa aunque el calor tiende a subir demasiado y tarda en calentar la parte de abajo de mi casa.

Excelente producto tengo una casa muy grande de dos plantas aproximadamente 120 m2 antes de usarlo tome temperatura del lugar y era de 11 grados en promedio. Con el uso del calefactor en unas cuántas hora se notó la diferencia y pasadas las tres horas alcanzamos temperatura de 19 grados. Lo recomiendo y mas aun con el ventilador que creo que es un gran complemento. Y no siento que se haya gastado mucho gas

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.

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.
