Mr. Heater 125,000 BTU Portable Radiant Heater

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This heater has been a huge help to keeping warm in our pole barn. Our barn is unheated and can get drafty as well. I love going out there to get some space and work on projects, but tend to stay away when it's cold. Let me tell you, this heater made a huge difference. It has a great heat output and I feel safe using it. It heats the whole barn very well, and I feel safe using it. The quality from my use so far is wonderful, and it's easy to hook up and use. In excited to get more time doing projects that I love in my pole barn because of it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To me this heater is very large, however it's very light, around 20lbs I'd say. I cannot tell you how much I am in love with this heater! We have it in our double car garage. It only takes about 8-10 minutes before our garage is toasty warm! It is super simple to set up it has regulator, and hose. All you do is hook it up to a 40lb tank and you're set. I look forward to using this heater for many years to come and I highly recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this heater for my 20x30 uninsulated shop two weeks ago and I've been able to use it a few times in cold weather. Overall I'll say this heater is outstanding at heating my space. In 27 degree weather I was able to heat the shop from 34 degrees to a comfortable 58 degrees in under an hour. Within 20-30 minutes it was over 50 degrees and it was comfortable to work. It greatly outpaces a forced air heater in that you get 360 degree heat so you can park this heater in the middle of the shop/worksite and get heat in all directions. That drastically reduces the time to heat the entire space. It is also significantly quieter than a forced air/torpedo heater because you don't have a noisy fan blowing the heat. My main complaint is assembly instructions. Overall it's pretty easy to set up, but getting the wheels mounted was terrible. It took a call to customer service and rep to get one of their units out to get the wheels mounted. I can't stress this enough, CAREFULLY TAKE THE PIECES OUT OF THE BOX!! There are two small spring clips that mount the two small pins that hold the wheels in place in the box. I found them laying in the bottom of the box after nearly giving up on the wheel assembly. You'll also need to invest in a stick lighter. The built in sparker is worthless. I haven't gotten it to spark once, but this heater is easy to light with a stick lighter The other small downfall it that this heater requires a 100 pound propane tank. I had to purchase one and they aren't cheap ($150 new and $80 used) and then about $70 to fill where I live. I haven't run it empty yet so I can't speak to how long a tank lasts. I'm not planning to use the heater daily so I'm hoping 1-2 tanks per year last me, but we'll see. Overall I'd say this thing is great. I'd been shopping wood stoves, barrel stove kits, and pellet stoves. This beats those because it gives instant heat, solid radiant heat after only a few minutes, and you don't have to cut a hole in the roof! It's also a much cheaper up front cost than a wood stove or pellet stove.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Mr. Heater Portable Heater works wonders!! We are super pleased with the heat output and have had no issues. The setup/connection of the propane tank was seamless and took very little time. The unit itself is sturdy and made well. We are able to heat our large shop building to a very comfortable temperature when working on projects. We would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great, reliable heat source for your shop or project site.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually wanted this for a backup heat source since I live in a rural area. But after researching further I realized it's not for indoor use. However, my husband was helping build a garage and it was really cold outside so we used it to warm them up. We tried hooking it to a 20 gallon tank and it kept shutting off. So after hooking it to the appropriate size tank we had heat! The first time using it we had some smelly fumes, but that's normal with any new heater. Once the fumes were gone this heater actually put out quite a bit of heat. We didn't have to get really close to feel the heat even though we were outdoors. I do like that it has an auto shut off in case it gets tipped over. This heater comes with a 10 ft hose to hook to your gas tank. After using for about 9 hours our tank is still half full! So it is pretty economical.
