Puts out a lot of heat.
I use this hooked up to a 20lb tank with the optional hose, in a 12x12 shed with a high roof and no insulation.On high it’s a ton of heat, on low it’s like a small electric heater. But, heating up the shed is no small task, it takes a while as the heat is right around the unit and you lose most of it rising straight up. I ordered a fan to help heat the lower area more efficiently.So far, using the 20lb, I’m at about 20 hours mostly on high, over 3 days, but that’s not exact and shouldn’t be trusted, however, it lasts a lot longer than my kero torpedo.I’ve seen a few reviews about lighting. I have no problem, lights easily every time.It’s a good quality heater that puts out a ton of heat. I took one star off as even the cheap electric heaters come with a fan, this absolutely should too.edit: I finally got the thermoelectric fan and it makes this unit so much better at heating up a room.Update: coldest day yet since I’ve had it, 33f and windy in same shed mentioned above. Over the course of an hour it went from 33 to 50, 1.5 hours 57 degrees and still rising. You need the fan though.

Este calentador funciona muy bien. En mi experiencia no abrir toda la llave del cilindro (de 9 kg) para que el chispazo del piloto no se apague con la fuerza de salida del gas, con solo abrir un mínimo la llave del tanque es suficiente para que "Mr Heater" funcione ,ya sea en bajo, medio o alto calor.
