With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Puts out a *lot* of heat, worth it for the price
I have one of these to heat up a space that is pretty drafty, solid stone little living area. Wood is free on my land (lots of dead trees) but I wanted something that would be positive, not negative for ventilation. (Wood burns, needs air, air goes up chimney, cold outside air comes into house, repeat.). So I put this backed up after sealing the fireplace as soon as the temperature drops enough.
This heater works great. My notes are:
1.) First firing: this will get hot and you'll smell a strange smell. That's normal, you are smelling the coatings used to protect it.
2.) After hooking it up, you *are* going to have air in the line. So be patient with starting as it needs to purge since the pilot uses hardly anything. You only have so much life in that ignitor.
3.) Get the fan unit. It's worth it. The grease in the bearings seems to wear out; after the 3rd year I had to remove it and use some 3-in-1 on the bearing. (barely moving/slow to speed...

Watch for CO2
On my 4th day with heater set up in a 2,500 sq ft open basement. Heater throws plenty of heat, radiant and convective. This time of year, basement is about 61F with no heat. Most I have run heater is 5 hours at full blast and two thermometers about 8 ft away and out of line of sight (radiant works) registered 70F. I suspect If I left it on "HI" (30,000 btu) and used a fan to circulate air, it would heat the entire basement, (which I don't need) to 70+.
While heater is inexpensive, plumber bill was $545 to hook it to gas line with 20ft of flexible gas hose and all the fittings required, including those to connect to heater. Pilot lit at first "click" and heater operates at three settings: 6,000, 18,000 and 30,000 btu. The settings light independent burner elements and instructions say NOT to try to operate between settings.
Don't buy the advertised feet for floor setting. Gas hookup is vertical thru bottom and extends about 6 inches out of bottom (with required...
Works Great......very ugly.
As everyone else said, this thing does its job well....it makes a cold room warm. Peroid. The look of it is much better suited for a garage or workshop not inside a home. (but, of course, this is an opinion)
One thing that is nice to know is that the lowest setting on this uses 7,000 BTU's, so plan accordingly. Get the right size for your room, do not get a larger one just because it is only $20 more or so.
Installation is easy, they give you all the screws, and you can even hang it only on sheetrock if you have no studs available. It only weighs 29lbs or so.
No gas line is included with this, and the input size thread is 3/8".
