Hot on the Spot, August 15, 2008
By garagejockey from Central Utah

"I used the Big Buddy heater in my uninsulated garage when my car needed repair. The power cord for the fan was awesome and combined with the double burners, it really put out the heat!!! It worked so great I decided to barbeque outside with the Big Buddy to keep me warm and it was in February!!! Great product that makes the Big Buddy just that much better. If you have a Big Buddy Heater, don't mess with batteries, buy the power cord! I would recommend it to anyone!"

Big Buddy AC Adapter, January 25, 2008
By Irontoyman from Manchester, MI

"I love my Big Buddy Heater! I used 4 "D" batteries in it until the AC Adapter arrived. The batteries do not work as well in cold weather and cost money to replace or recharge. If you have AC near your heater, the adapter gives you better blower speed with less trouble and expense."

6 volt ac adaptor for Big Buddy Heaters, January 15, 2008
By htrncan from Hampton, Va

"This AC adaptor for the Big Buddy Heaters takes a radiant heater and turns it into a heater with a blower. Ideal for hunting cabins. No need to mess with batteries. Just plug in the adaptor to 110 AC and the long cord allows you to put your Big Buddy Heater just about any where you need it."

By RD46 from Charles Town, WV

"This adapter works well. It does not over heat like some adapters and it has a long lead so you can use it almost anywhere there is power. This saves your batteries for when you need them. The adapter allows your fan to work at its full potential."

By Rosey from Allison Park, PA

"I placed an order for this when I purchased a Mr. Buddy Heater. It was on back order. I was worried that it would take a long time to get it. I gave the heater as a Christmas gift, and told him the adapter would be coming some time. It arrived a few days after Christmas (1/3/08) He is very excited to have it so that he doesn't need to use batteries all the time. I received a cooler last year and didn't get an adapter with the cooler, and have not been able to find one to fit it. It was exciting to be able to order the appropriate adapter with the heater."

Nice addition to the Big Buddy, January 14, 2008
By truckmann from Sapulpa, OK

"The only problem with this adapter is that it didn't come with the Big Buddy to begin with. While it isn't necessary for operation of the Big Buddy, it is nice to be able to run the fan on it without eating up batteries."

Not well designed for its intended purpose, January 14, 2008
By Rogy from Northeast

"This product is a typical block-type AC adapter. Suitable for a device that resides strictly in one location.

However, since the heater is portable and presumably will be moved and stored, this adapter should be have been designed more ruggedly. I would like to have seen a heavier wire and possibly a method of winding and storing the cord (like a better $30.00 laptop adapter often has).

This one will work fine in a stationary location, but will probably not hold up under repeated winding and unwinding and/or occasional dropping.

In my review of the heater itself, I suggested an improved storage compartment underneath for storing and transporting accessories such as this."

Must have, October 29, 2007
By Noll from Iowa

"This is realistically a must have for this heater if used near an electric outlet. There is one downside, the plug in should have been at a 90 degree angle for a wall mount situation."

It goes without saying..., March 11, 2007
By MrTommy from Carson City, NV

"If you have a 'Buddy' heater, and you're going to use it for other than camping, this AC adapter is a "must have". Batteries are fine when there's no power, but if you've got a plug nearby, this is the way to go. I got it at the same time as the heater AND the 12ft propane hose."

Nice option, March 8, 2007
By GirlsToysToo from Virginia

"When I first got the Big Buddy I had to wait for the AC adapter to arrive separately, so I used 4 D batteries. They ran the blower just fine, when I shut it off after 8 hours on medium, they were still going. So in a power outage, batteries would be fine. But, if you want to run the blower, and don't want to mess with replacing batteries, or go through the expense of buying them, the adapter is the way to go. Just plug it in to a standard outlet, and the blower runs great. I checked the house power meter before and after plugging it in, and didn't notice any difference, so the claim of it costing next to nothing to use is accurate."
