a great heater for garage use
Date:March 24, 2010
I bought a Mr.Buddy heater this year so Icould work in my garage during the winter. It warmed the 2 car garage so well I didn't have to wear an extra sweater. I worked i my regular clothes and was comfortable.

Best small heater you could buy.

This is one of the best purchases I've made and it is safe enough to use anywhere.
I use this heater in my home and in my un-insulated workshop.

Mr. Heater Big Buddy
Date:February 10, 2010
This is a terrific little heater and is very safe. I also purchased the optional LP hose for using a 20 lb propane tank and the ac converter for using the fan from a wall outlet. Aside from being a great portable heater as is with these 2 options your cost to heat is greatly reduced (over the 1 lb cans) and your usage time is greatly increased. The ac converter for the fan makes it more convenient and and ecological to operate. A great little heater!!

Very Safe and recommended
Date:February 9, 2010
After many hours of research, this heater was the only one I would use in a confined space. The oxegen sensor makes this unit safe for tents and indoor spaces. Other well known brands used for camping do not offer is this feature. This unit with the fan, heats a 16x14 tent quickly on the medium setting even in 30 degree temps. After two years of trouble free use, I would very much recommend it.

Great little heater
Date:February 4, 2010
I purchased this to use in my shop when working in there on cold days, and as an emergency heater for the house in the event of a power failure. It does a great job and is a breeze to use if you purchase the optional quick connect hose and regulator kit. I recommend it to anyone needing a small, compact LP heater.

Great Product
Date:February 4, 2010
Bought this during the last freeze. It is very user friendly, compact and good for indoor and outdoor usage. It heats well using two camping propane tanks or you can hook it up to larger tanks. Very portable for many applications from warming lambs to knocking the chill off in working areas to thawing water lines, etc.

Mr Heater big buddy
Date:February 4, 2010
We purchased this heater over a year ago for our sun room for extra heat in the winter. By far the best heater we ever purchased, It gives off so much heat & keeps the air warm too so you don't need to be sitting on top of it to feel it. We even bought an extra one for spare & gave it to a friend for her home. She uses it all winter in stead of base board heating which cost a fortune to run & Love's it too. I had power out several times in winter & got this out in the main area to heat the house. When the repair guys came to fix the furnace, they couldn't believe how well & warm it heated things. I have had many friends buy them & so glad they did. My husband even takes it hunting & uses the little 1lb cylinders with it in his tree stand & keeps toasty on those freezing cold days hunting. A must have heater, helps save money on home heating & a great back up source. A+++

Mr. Heater Big Buddy
Date:February 4, 2010
I purchased this item during a power outage to heat a portion of the house. Since then I have used it every cold day that I work in the garage. I would recommend this item for anyone needing heat in areas that do not have built in heating.

Great Emergency Backup
Date:February 4, 2010
If you live in the country you know extended power outages can be a way of life. Living in a cheap mobile home without the best installation requires something to keep me from becoming a redneck popsicle and this is it. Can take the small disposable propane tanks or the large tank with the optional (not included) hose. Don't forget to purchase the batteries for the fan.
Read the instructions completely to prevent making the common mistakes.
