    Great quality/value
    I am currently working on a 2 unit apartment building, each unit being approximately 2200sf. I have used various types of heaters in the past for these type projects however this one is by far the most versatile, efficient and clean.

      Awesome!
      Got the heater shipped to my house I'm a very timely manner. Assembly of the heater only took about 15 minutes and the instructions were very easy to follow. The heater is everything I could ask for as far as durability and performance goes. Would recommend this product to anyone who is looking to stay warm while working in cold conditions.

        Good quality. Does not make a lot of noise and heats up very quickly.

        Somewhat of a Nightmare
        The Heater worked great on the initial startup, however when it cycled off and tried to turn back on the fan came on, you saw kerosene blown from the front but the heater would not ignite. After letting it set for a while I tried again to start. it started but flames were shooting from the front. I called customer svc 800 number spoke with lady which told me to check the pressure gauge which was showing low pressure. I was told that the pressure should be at 6.5 when running on high. I adjusted the pressure as close to 6.5 as I could(6). couldn't get it any higher. if i left the heater off for a while it would come back on but only run for short period then shut off. then when it trys to start back up the fan comes on but it wont ignite. Called customer svc back. was told they could send parts. I told them I was not fixing something that i bought new. So I had to order and pay for another heater so it could be sent out. And this one is being taken back to a local store.

          Takes a dent out of the cold
          This unit sounds a bit like a jet engine, and it even kind of looks like it could be hanging off the wing of af F-15. But we have about 6,000 sq feet of shop space and it feels good to know we're taking the bite out of the morning chill. Those kerosene jugs are not cheap, though, and we can burn up $200/week in fuel if we aren't careful!

          this heater does have great features
          This heater is big enough to heat my work space nicely when it will run. Easy to assemble but even right out of the box it runs when it wants to. When its really cold it has troubles igniteing and stay running til it warms up a little
