Comment:
I have 2 Mr Heater products; the Portable Buddy for spot heating and the Big Buddy for room heating because it has a AC/DC fan. I use single propane cylinders or the 5gal bulk depending on what I'm heating. They've both been great!<br />The Big Buddy can heat up my 20'x20' garage/workshop with little insulation and no ceiling in 30-45 minutes even recently with 35 degree weather outside. I also use this heater in my enclosed 9'x20' trailer w/no insulation. Used it in 25F and warmed up in 15 minutes in kept it warm all night using the bulk tank. The batteries to run Big Buddy fan have lasted well over 40hrs!!<br />My only concerned was about the smell but my low oxygen and propane smell indicators never went on.<br />As with any heat product, make sure nothing flammable is within 2-3 feet of the heaters.
