Rated 5 out of 5 by hobby1 from Great Product Works great. Heated my single car garage to 60 degrees on a night when it was 17 degrees outside in about 30 minutes. I also used the ac adapter to operate the fan.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Dunkydega from Not Reliable Let me start with some disclaimers: 1) I live in Maine. 2) It's cold in Maine. 3) Heat is important in the cold. I purchased this on 1-30-17 with the intention of using it to heat my 6x6 ice shack. I lit it in my house when I got home to familiarize myself with the controls so I wouldn't have any issues when I got it out on the ice. I took it out ice fishing on the morning of 1-1-18 and first thing, the pilot wouldn't light. It wouldn't even click like it was trying to light. I had to remove the cage and light the pilot with a lighter. With that accomplished I set it on Med and let it heat up until the tiles glowed bright orange. I then set it to High. It stayed on about 5 minutes and kicked itself off. There was no reason for it to kick off. I relit the pilot, this time it worked without removing the cage, and went through the same steps as before with the tiles glowing orange on Med and then turning it on High, It kicked off again. I relit it a third time and left it on Med but on Med me and my dog were so cold we only stayed out ice fishing about 2 hours. It wouldn't even heat the shack enough to keep us warm enough to stay out. It was cold outside (about -10 F) but this is the reason I bought this heater. I had used a propane cook stove in the past to take the chill off the air but this heater couldn't even do that. I am going to be returning this heater and getting my money back. I cannot and will not recommend this heater to anyone who plans on using it in the cold weather. Maybe it would be better suited for camping in Arizona.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tee Cee from Phenom of a heater Just got it on Boxing day, we used it asap on one of the coldest days of the year. 6 man tent, no problem!! It was a sauna in there. Only minor issue was it took a bit to get it going at first and we had to manually light the pilot light. After that though, we moved it around, shut it off and on several times and it had no problem firing up. Recommend 4.5 out of 5!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ridersfan from Big Buddy throws Big Heat! I bought this for ice fishing and probably over bought... I bet I would have doen just fine with the regular sized one... but am the go big or go home type. Well I'll tell ya... in my little ice fishing shack... I can't run it on high or else it's just way too hot. It's that good! I can run it on high and leave the door open and be comfortable in a tshirt!
