So, not gonna lie, this still scares me slightly with all the safety warnings. But it works great! It heats almost twice as fast as the "traditional style" bucket heater. It has only served me through three freezing days of bucket breaking so far (one of them sub-zero) but I was so impressed I had to come write a review. I only wish I had bought the two-pack!

Great addition for the hottub during the winter. I got this as a backup just in case and have used it a few times to raise the portal hottub temp past 104. Works great !!! I think this would make any livestock tank a hot tub.

VERY DANGEROUS!! ZERO STARS!! it worked perfectly the first two times.... but the third time I used it it burst into flames badly!!!! I'm just thinking God I was close by and heard that little explosion sound. If I had walked out to take the trash out like I was going to my my bathroom would be destroyed. I don't know if my house would be burned down.!! shocking! I'm outside of the return window, unfortunately.... but I at least deserve my money back. This could've killed me.!!

Yes it uses a lot of power. Around 1700 w from jackery. It heats up water from the top fast. From the top 3/4 is warm/hot in about 5-6 mins. The bottom 1/4 is cold. So best to drain bottom water first. I am using igloo cooler so I can drain bottom water first. After that water is hot so be carefully.

Works really well. Burned out after using it once or twice a week from June to December (same year). Works great but once it starts corroding it’s time to buy a new one soon.

A winner. Heats a half-full bathtub from 45 degrees (7 degrees C) to 105 degrees (41 degrees C) in about 4 hours. The gas company shut off the gas in my neighborhood for several days because of a leak somewhere. My water heater is gas-powered; so, this device was a life saver. I also used it to heat a sink of water (just a few minutes) to wash dishes. I have purchased a few extras just to have on hand if I ever get in an emergency like this again. BE SURE to follow the safety guidelines.

These things work but use caution:1) These heaters use a tremendous amount of energy, if you are using a generator to power them, good luck because they are around 1500W which is HUGE and its like running two microwaves at the same time for one of these to get warm! they take several hours to get hot. They will yank amps/current like crazy from a lithium battery in your RV, so be prepared.2) You cannot use them inside an metal containers without being shocked HARD. You cannot touch the water with them inside anything else non-metal either, it just wont zap you as hard.So they do work, they just take forever to get going so it may be better to stick with gas for heating up your hot water tanks in a cabin/rv type frozen water scenario. Make sure you remove power to them before checking the water or it will shock you.3) If you use an extension cord, make sure its an extra heavy duty/high amp cord and the shortest cable possible for your application. Do not run two of these from the same outlet either or you risk a fuse-breaker trip inside your home/cabin, RV camper, etc.This works well for heating a small inflatable hot tub or kiddie pool as long as everyone knows not to touch the water while they are in. They have to be fully submerged or could burn out.I bought a 2 pack of these as an emergency way of heating frozen water barrels full of clean water that always freeze at a lodge/camp in the woods during winter. They took forever to get going in 20*F weather and I would suggest simply boiling hot water on a propane stove and pouring that hot water inside whatever is frozen rather than going this route as it takes forever. Using them with a LiFeP04 battery in a camper with an inverter will drain the batteries insanely fast.So, for heating up a small pool for the kids ahead of time making sure no-one touches the water = yes.Heating up a full sized pool = definitely not unless you want to see your electric bill go berserk.Pre-heating a hot tub for a few hours before the built in tub heating element gets going = yes.For heating up a semi-frozen 50 gallon barrels of water for emergencies with your generator in the winter time in the middle of nowhere without electricity and running on a generator, possible but not the best way to do it, at least not cost wise. The generator will struggle unless it is extremely powerful.Hope this helps.

If you are going to hear up some water for a camp shower and leave it running until it shuts itself off, you are going to want to add some cold water to it first. If gets scalding hot!I think it took me 40 minutes to heat up 10 and 1/2 gallons of water from 50°f to 143°f in 30°f weather.
