Very good product – 4.5 stars,
I am very pleased with this heater. It has one or two quirks that I didn’t expect (hence the 4.5 stars), but it puts out a terrific amount of heat, looks great and was a real bargain – Amazon is the best.
What I didn’t expect:
* It’s much larger than I expected. My impression based on the pictures I could find was that it was much smaller, but be prepared for a sizeable heater;
* Contrary to the description, it doesn’t have a digital temperature readout. I was a little annoyed at first, but then most temperature gauges don’t work well anyway, and I heat the room to feel comfortable and not to a specific temperature, so this doesn’t matter much to me now;
* The thermostat works differently than I expected. The unit puts out a constant amount of heat, regardless of the setting, but the higher thermostat settings make the unit run until the room is hotter before it shuts off, which works fine;
* I run my heater on a 40 lb. propane bottle. If you plan to run on a bottle, be prepared to buy a pressure regulator, hose and some fittings. Oddly, I couldn’t find the right combination from Mr. Heater, but did buy the Red Dragon kit on Amazon, which works well. The only other fitting I needed was an adapter from 3/8″ NPT to 3/8″ flare, which was only $3 at the local hardware store;
* I read reviews elsewhere that the internal fan is quiet. I like the fact that it has the fan, but find it a bit noisy to my taste. Since I have a vaulted ceiling and ceiling fans, I will rarely use the internal fan. It seems to work fine without it and runs almost silently, which is very nice.
Overall, a real deal in my opinion that suits my needs almost perfectly.

|Excellent product,
This heater works as well as I had hoped it would and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. The “auto” function for the blower fan, for example, causes a delay in the fan operation until enough heat is built up from the flame before it comes on. When the target temperature is reached, the flame goes off and the fan continues to run until it is no longer blowing warm air, then it stops blowing. In other words, this little portable heater work exactly like the furnace in your house is designed to work. It exceeds my expectations.
