My son loves this when he has to work outdoors or on houses that are in process of being framed in - it's cold very often! The propane hose which adapts the unit to a 20 pound tank is a must-have if you're planning on anything longer than a soccer game of use on high. Even with two each small cylinders you won't get a ton of run-time, you'll really want the 20 pound tanks attached if you intend to run it for any period of time.

I got this for use in my deer blind while hunting. Got the hose adapter for a 20lb tank and it works like a dream! Plenty of heat, i have yet to need the high setting.

Bought this heater for upcoming winter. They are predicting a bad one and wanted to be prepared.

Takes one pound bottles or two five gallon tanks with adapters. Will definitely get us through winter.

Portable heats nicely for garage work site or camping Puts off great heat!

This was the best camping investment I made. We went camping and the low was 30 degrees with wind for 3 nights. This kept the tent with my granddaughter and I so warm and toasty. Having it about two feet from the edge of the tent the wind picked up the side and knocked the heater over. The heater automatically shut off before it hit the ground. I put rocks to hold the tent down but this heater is well worth the money. It does use a lot of propane so best have a tank and not the one pound canisters for overnight. I had another catalytic heater which would let out a very small smell of propane and this one does not.If you camp in cold areas this is the heater for you. The best money ever spent on camping gear.

It may be a little cheaper at some other places but it work great for us. No problems attaching 2 small propane bottles and easy to ignite. Fan to push the heat out works good too.

It needs protection from the wind.

Nice back up heater

I bought this unit to keep my fam warm in case this winter was socially distant, and to make my garage a space I didn't hate working in for the next few months.Pros: This thing produces a lot of heat for hours, while being light and portable. This is the most important point. You can connect it, via a common hose, to a 20lb propane tank, but this will require a filter. It's well built, with a big handle, and cage to keep the ceramic elements safe. I take this in my car on road trips, because it could save our lives if we get stuck in a bad situation during the winter. It's safe to run indoors, and would keep a vehicle warm enough without running too much.Cons:- I didn't recall reading about any sort of timer, but it does seem to auto-extinguish after a while.- The hose addon is great, but the filter they offer to collect the oil residue pressed from the lining of the hose is an empty canister that could never really fill up, yet they treat it like a part you should replace AND charge entirely too much for it.- It takes a moment to warm up before you can start it, but this is minor.

Need two hoses..but great product

Great for reducing our electric bill. Keeps us warm.

After buying the product and testing it for myself it is a perfect camping tool you will enjoy it

We wanted another of these to go with the one we already had, so we searched for the model WITH THE FAN. This one clearly states the heaters have the fans. It DOES NOT. So beware, it's a bait and switch.

I have used both little buddy and I have a big buddy for when the power goes out. I use it in my living room and it heats the house, 3 bedroom. My big buddy came with fan, using now for 5 years

Unlike some reviews, I did not have an overwhelming gas odor. The heater seems to be burning the propane efficiently. Maybe they didn't have the connections threaded and seated correctly?BTW, my unit has a blower. It works flawlessly. Great emergency heater.

Best damn heater ever.For my shop

This Big Buddy propane heater included the fan that isn't included with most others. The fan has been deleted on most of the Mr. Heaters due to tariffs. I was happy to find an aftermarket fan assembly will not be needed!
