Mr. Heater F232017 MH9BXRV Buddy Grey Indoor-Safe Portable RV Radiant Heater (4,000-9,000-BTU)

This is the coolest little heater yeah ,you know maybe cost more to run then a little electric portable heater but it is so cool and I couldn't be more proud to have it and I give it five stars !It worked perfectly right out of the boxCame expertly packed .it was just a squared away purchase 100% .great little emergency heater. I feel like my heating in an emergency situation is taking care of and any outdoor fun that you might just want to take it outside and have it sitting under the table if it's a crisps cool night .I mean it's a cool deal .I'm glad I bought it and you will be too

The thing to know about this heater is it throws off a lot of infrared radiation, which is the primary mode of heating. It is like having a little portable Sun with you. Like if you go outside and it is cold and cloudy, you will feel cold. But at the same outdoor temperature and the Sun beating down on you on a clear winter day (if you have clear winter days were you live), you will feel a lot warmer. A fun little thing to do if you have security cameras with night vision, light this up in view of one of these security camera's at night. It is brilliantly bright and everything in the line of sight of the hot plate on it nearby is brilliantly lit up. With the naked eye at night, you will just see a dim red glow, but the security cameras will see a blindly bright light as it is in IR night vision mode and the black body radiation is primarily in the infrared spectrum. This means when you are outside, basically regardless of conditions, as long as the conditions are good enough for this to work, it will be heating you up. You can even say leave this outside your tent and as long as you are setup to let the infrared light in, it will warm up the inside of your tent and any infrared light hitting you from this will warm you up, say you are laying there in your sleeping bag. It is almost like magic as most people are used to thinking about heating in convection terms while this primarily operates in black body radiative terms. I am not saying sit out there butt naked in the snow with this being your only device to keep you warm, but it is a greet supplemental heat source to help you keep warm when you are doing something sedentary outside in the cold.The one gripe I have about this is the flame is unstable and noisy on the low setting. This works best at the high setting anyway, so probably what you want to do and just forget about the low setting.If you use this with a larger tank with a hose, you may want to plan to shut the main valve off on the larger external tank a couple to a few minutes before you are done using the heater so that there is time for a pressurized hose to purge. As this only lasts a few hours on a 1 lb tank, you can quickly end up getting into using larger tanks with this.

This camping heater has been a total game-changer for our outdoor adventures. It's so compact and lightweight, making it easy to toss in our camping tote without taking up too much space. The heat output is impressive, and it's been a lifesaver on those chilly nights. It's also really easy to set up and use, which is a big plus. We've had nights where the temperature dropped significantly, but this heater kept our tent cozy and warm. Safety features are also a big plus, giving us peace of mind while we're camping. Overall, it's a fantastic piece of gear that I'd highly recommend to any camper or outdoor enthusiast. I recommend the extension hose for the bigger propane tank.

LOVE this heater! We put inside our tent and stayed warm all night long. Easy to pOperate too! It's worth the money! It's a game changer!

I originally bought this for emergencies but recently we had to install new flooring during the cold season. Of course the scheduled install days were one of the coldest for the month - why wouldn't it be? Sarcasm aside, with the flooring people running in and out the furnace was going crazy so I needed to shut it off and the house was freezing. I sent the wife and baby away and I remembered I had two more 1 lb tanks of propane in the basement and this heater I never used yet. Well, screwed in the tank, let it prime and let it rip. Even though the door was constantly opening and people were running in and out, I was in the living room with this heater facing me. In all, it did well. It lasted about 4 hours on low to medium heat although I kept it just about medium heat for half the time. I think there was a little more liquid in the tank after they left so I probably could've gone about 30 min (give or take - probably less) more on med or high.It is a quality build. I love that the screw in can pivot out for easy screw in of the tank and then it gets tucked in like you see it in the pic. That's handy. There is a handle on top and a metal grille that protects the heating element and accidental fire but I haven't exactly tried to tip it either. I will caution when you first use it be it a new tank or first out the box, you will need to the gas to run a little before trying to light. When it does light, it does so with a small crawling wall of flame and then the center element begins to glow orange so definitely do not start it by curtains, a scarf hanging over it etc etc. The flame doesn't stay all the time, just to crawl up the element and begin the sustained heat. Just FYI. Otherwise, it certainly kept my bacon warm during that freezing flooring ordeal. I could see this really heating a smaller enclosed room or large tent. At the end of the day, I'm glad I got it.
