Mr. Heater Corporation MH18B Portable Propane Heater, Red

This product can not be sold in Europe, the product has pass the tests to get the CE certification, it was sold to me in Portugal, trought Amazon.es by All is well company it was defective, they offered me to buy a new one with a 50.. euro credit, now the European company that could fix it refuse for liability reason, I am stuck with a large use less purchase, All it's not well...

I purchased this product because despite running two very efficient and very expensive heat pumps, my home was always cold. Additionally, my electric bill was becoming more and more outrageous. I was hopeful that the Mr. Heater Big Buddy Heater would at least be able to heat up my bedroom and also be able to heat up the master bathroom for showers and such. That said, I have been extraordinarily happy with the performance of the Big Buddy Heater. The heat output can be tailored to the exact needs of the moment, there are no unpleasant smells produced by the heater, and the fact that it puts out infrared heat makes it very pleasant to be near when the room is chilly. The heater is very easy to start with its piezo igniter and the heat produced is infinitely adjustable from low (4,000 BTU) to high (18,000 BTU). While the model I purchased did not come with the built-in heat distribution fan, I was able to add the factory fan with a purchase through Amazon (Mr. Heater Big Buddy Heater Back Cover Fan (E78404) (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09S16JL8G)). I would recommend that everyone purchase the new Big Buddy Pro model that does come with the factory built-in fan. I use the Mr. Heater 6-Volt Power Adapter to power my heater's newly added fan (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HE6OAE). I also use the Mr. Heater 12' Hose with Regulator & Quick Disconnect (F271803) (www.amazon.com/12ft-Big-Buddy-Hose-Regulator/dp/B000UC7966) to supply low-pressure propane to my heater. I have found the Big Buddy Heater to be very efficient in its use of propane. It has saved me a great deal of money by not having to use my heat pumps to stay warm. In summary, I have been overwhelmingly happy with my Mr. Heater Big Buddy Heater purchase. I have had no problems of any kind with the product. Further, I have been so happy with the performance of the heater that I have purchased a second one. Mr. Heater should be very proud of this product.

Good for me, well build, very warm. Could use one or two green canister or 20lbs tank with filter/adaptor. Heats my camper in no time (-15celsius)

Este calentador funciona muy bien. En mi experiencia no abrir toda la llave del cilindro (de 9 kg) para que el chispazo del piloto no se apague con la fuerza de salida del gas, con solo abrir un mínimo la llave del tanque es suficiente para que "Mr Heater" funcione ,ya sea en bajo, medio o alto calor.

It's worth stressing that this is a Propane heater, not Butane. Those people complaining it doesn't light correctly are using Butane which is totally wrong and won't work. With Butane you'll be hard pressed to even light the pilot light. Butane is low quality and barely produces any heat and has low very flow pressure at lower temperatures- the very temperatures you'll need this heater to combat. Propane, which you will have to order specially works flawlessly as advertised. In North America pure Propane is readily available due to much colder temperatures. In the UK you'll have to order it specially from BOC Gasses and run the heater on a hose. Even the "Extreme" en417 gas cans in UK are at best only a paltry 30% Propane (advertised rated down to -27C and) will work ok, but cost a absolute fortune. So it's highly recommended you order a Mr Heater propane tank hose (with filter) and BOC or similar pure Propane cylinder. The heater will then run for days and days. If you want portable then you'll have to get the refillable 1 pound tanks and an adapter, and also fill them from the BOC gas cylinders. Absolutely outstanding heater that'll blast the cold away. Very highly recommended.
