Mr. HeaterMH60QFAV 60,000 BTU Portable Propane Forced Air Heater, 19.75 x 11.50 inches, black

Somewhat to my surprise, it heated my workshop in a drafty, uninsulated two-car garage just fine through a New England midwinter.

We needed to replace a 50,000 BTU propane heater that was old and unsafe. We used it to preheat a detached woodshop that measures 20’L X 12’W X 8’H, and the old heater required us to monitor it because it would randomly shut off, leaving the propane flowing and an electric fan running. We live in an area where minus 0 temperatures are not uncommon, and babysitting the old heater while it roars for twenty minutes to get the temperature up to 72 degrees (F) isn’t a lot of fun.We bought the Mr. Heater MH60QFAV for several reasons (besides its cost):It has continuous ignition, which means the igniter runs continuously while the heater is running, so should it get knocked over, or the propane line have a ‘burp’ the flame will automatically reignite.It has a variable heat setting, allowing a BTU output of 30K through 60K. We use the 60K to preheat the shop, and then use electric heating to maintain the temperature. It normally takes less than 10 minutes to get up to 72 degrees (F).It doesn’t stink the place up. You can smell a light scent, but it’s not overwhelming.This heater is quiet, light, smaller than older models of torpedo heaters, has a very long gas line (almost 9’), and the front of the heater can be elevated by an adjustment knob.The best thing about it is my wife trusts it, and lights it herself.

Just what I needed. Was looking to get a garage heater that I could mount to the ceiling. Glad I went for this instead. Small yet powerful. Connected it to a 15lb propane can and it fired up with no issue. And by the way, it's the same 15lb can that connects to a grill.With the heater being small, I can take it to where ever it's needed... basement, garage, workshop, etc., very portable and heats things up very quickly.

Great option for our garage. A bit loud but nearly as loud as the kerosene heater we had previously and no noxious odor. Size makes it easy to store. Will be purchasing another for other garage.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Heats up the whole garage and quickly

We have a huge 10 x 20 foot enclosed tent we use for outdoor parties and this heater was used to keep our guests warm and comfy on a Washington October evening. Well after 5 minutes we had to turn it off because the tent was way too warm. Guests were sweating and hot even at it's lowest setting. This works great and was priced reasonably and delivered on time.

Works well:Item as described.

No problem with Amazon Seller purchase; but will hold out my final review until I see how well the RETURNexperence goes. As far as product itself...WORTHLESS. My previous blower was a real, USA-made'REDDY HEATER" torpedo kerosene unit literally 2.5x+ this size { not not just fuel tank, either!}. I foolishlysold it last year never figuring on using it or needing it for years, as I'm up in age and dont do ANYTHING in cold.I intended this to be a mere occasional use, not even full-time seasonal thing. They say'.. pictures are worththousand words', or such. Dont be fooled impression of stock photo as far as size. BTU rating, Joke,. When thisfirst arrived { lightning fast, which at fist was welcome surprise} and i saw box size...I thought it was a joke, ormaybe came in two boxes, or simply got sent the wring unit. Its like miniature, what consider pocket-size comapradto my SAME-BTU rated torpedo. I used a hair dryer to keep my hands warm, instead. a SMART person will buy keroseneunit. IF you buy propane, or this brand......I'd recommend buying 3x btu rating and size you think you need or'reccommnded' . No way in heck these foks heated anentire garage with this patheitc excuse baby heater. Might makea hand warmer at best. ALSO: dont be scammed by typical pinko terminology, so-called new-and-improved, adn theseso-called " Quiet" technology motor sham. Quiet is scam term for WORTHLESS, BUDGET, LOW AMP, miniature blowerwith little or no CFM's behind it. MIGHT be bale to heat a toilet stall if you can hold it long enough { and i dont mean theblower}. It MIGHT be able to heat a [well-insulated] garage to working temp of 45-50 degrees { ambient starting temp of~28} if you left it on 8-9 hours. Anyone who says it warms/warmed their garage in 30 minutes is full of it. Not sure if I'mgonna just RENT a torpedo, or just wait till Spring to complete my project. BUT THIS IS GOING BACK. PERIOD. If youhave the cash...buy the BIGGEST UNIT ANYONE/this company offers. Dont play games or cheap out. Regardless,its probably still the same cheap BUDGET blower no matter which unit ya get.
