It works probably better than I expected meaning it keeps a nice temperature in a larger space for a longer time than estimated IMO.Where it says HOT it will burn you- So heed the warning- I did get burned... Your mother told you the stove was hot... I guess I never listened.The base works for what it is..... How would I design a better one? It is the BASE . Sturdy Lame Plastic...It stays in place, meaning falls off, when you lift the heater and tank up. I kind of like that it is annoying. It makes me be mindful when this is lit or not it is a potentially dangerous device... What's that noise... Oh, the ! base fell off.... It is not a defect it is a feature.Finally, if you go this way: I got myself a 20 lb tank and adapter and refill those 1lb bottles... as cost efficient.There are other solutions out there, however, as a portable mobile, as needed, if needed solution this works great for me. I Highly recommend the product and hope it meets your expectations as well.
