"This is one great heater, I put in my new 24 x 30 x 10 shop. Heats it up fast. easy to install, and very quiet. Right now I run it on a 20# propane tank until I get it hooked up to a much larger tank. highly recomended. I put a programable t-stat on it with a fan only option on it. works great for moving air without heat on. Way nicer and cleaner than my old wood heater I had."

"I cannot tell you how happy I am with my new Mr Heater Propane Garage heater. I work out of 3/4ths of a large converted two car garage in which I have an intaglio (hand pulled etchings) studio. Last winter I suffered endlessly trying to heat the place with two large electric heaters. Not any more. Two people were able to easily install my Mr Heater by hanging it from the ceiling. The instructions were clear, access was good, and once up and running it heated almost instantly and was so proficient I had to turn it down. There are no alarming smells and it is reasonably quiet. I don't think you can expect more from a product and I am prepared to be its happy owner for many years to come."

"I had this heater installed and ducted in a couple of hours. It is in a 30 X 70 building that is insulated. I use the building usually one night during the week and all day on Sat and Sun. I keep the thermostat at 45 and even on the coldest days it only takes about 45 minutes to get the building up to 65. I have it hooked to a 500 gallon tank and I ran it from the end of november to around the first of april and used approx. 40 percent of the tank and we had a very cold winter."

"I've had this heater for over a year. It worked great for a few weeks, then failed to light. I was getting the "two flash light". I flicked power on & off, tried again aand it lit off correctly. Then, a month or two later, it failed again. I checked safeties & traced power. It had blown the low-voltage transformer. I removed & tested it again, yes, the transformer was dead. Luckily, I had a spare in my shop. I hooked that one up (a better transformer with a higher VA rating) & tested the system. Now, so far, it is powering and firing correctly. The heater was fairly easy to hook up. I purchased the flue kit, & ran a t-stat to the other side of the room, next to the enrty door (I can turn it on then entering the bldg). I ran a 120v 20A circuit to a 4x4 box on the wall, & ran flex to the unit. I also ran a gas line in the wall to outside my shop, running to a 120lb tank. My shop is 24X36X9 and insulated fairly good. This heater heats my shop from the low 30's into the 60's within 15 minutes. It really cranks out the heat (and empties my propane). I really would have to caution some about this unit, though maybe mine was just a lemon. I called Mr. Heater, & they sent me a new transformer. I do repairs like this for a living, but maybe others would have difficulty. I really would prefer to not have to repair fairly new items like this."
