By the filter and connect to a #20 propane tank - it makes it so much easier to manage. This heater produces serious heat. We leave it on low at night and it keeps us warm in a 27’ RV. Not too hot and not too cold - just right. Even though it says for indoor use, we crack a window and have a carbon monoxide detector ready to go.

Fantastic backup heater

Have heat pump with auxiliary heat that does fine even during a couple recent hard winter freeze episodes...but, during one hard winter (12 -18 degrees a couple nights) I had issues with breakers under the house flipping due to the heat kicking on & off and during another hard freeze we lost power for hours when the grid failed. Getting this large size with hose and plug in module cord for built in blower fan mainly for backup. Small camp propane cans or regular propane bottles are a cheap way to supplement heating our home.

Hard Winter Helper

This was an upgrade to the same heater (brand) we have been using for many years. Our older model quit working so we chose this one and it lights instantly instead of having to click on and off to start the pilot light.  It also has a fan on it to push the heat out faster and is optional to use.

Best alternative to heat your home.

I just bought two more of these Portable Mr Heater Big Buddy heaters to keep on hand for power outages. I’ve used them for years and have yet to have one to fail. They’re a great piece of mind knowing you can stay warm as they do a tremendous job. I use a 20# tank with hose run outside of the house for safety. The one pound canisters do just as well, but you burn though them pretty quickly. But either way they keep you nice and warm. Add said that it came with hose and filter, it only came with heater and hose. The filter is only needed if you use the 20# propane tank, but they’re pretty inexpensive. SAMs price beat everyone else’s price even without the filter . They’re very safe to use and extremely fast to get out started in a power outage. If using an optional 20# tank, you must have the tank outside your house as per directions. I love them, and I’ve yet to have one fail after several years of use. SAMs Mr. Heater Bug Buddy still comes with the fan than runs off 4 C batteries or 6 volt AC adapter which I understand is being discontinued, Not sure on that, But have read that from other sellers.
    I highly recommend the Big Buddy, very inexpensive piece of mind, and the best place I’ve found to purchase them is SAMS CLUB!

The Mr, Heater Big Buddy , A great safety blanket!

Great little heater! Use it in our garage and it works great!

Best buddy

Propane heater

What a fantastic asset to my friend's garage where she spends time always make sure you have the filter and you clear the propane lines, which means you turn off the propane tank while it's still burning.

What a fantastic investment

I couldn’t get the electronic ignition to work . YouTubed it and had to notify the company who was very nice and sent the new part

Manufacturer has to send you extra part

This is a great little heater which will drive you out of the house! It works so well! However, a major drawback is not having a thermostat. This is a big problem IMHO.

No Thermostat

This heater did seem to be decent as far as heat output and it is pretty neat how portable it can be, it fell short for me though. The one we got had a bad fan and only worked the first time we used it. Also this comes with the hoses to connect to a 20 lb propane tank, but it seems you also need a fuel filter (from what I can tell you are supposed to have that when using a larger tank) which has to be purchased separately, which is annoying. I returned it and went with something else, but had the fan not stopped working I think it would have been a decent heater.

Portable and it will keep you warm

This model (MH18B) has electronic ignition which requires a AAA battery (inserted into the bottom).  HOWEVER, neither Energizer, Duracell or Sam's Club AAA alkaline batteries will work in it.  It requires an odd foreign AAA battery with a broad negative base.  The single AAA battery (alkaline) that comes with the heater is an Eiden brand (I think, it's hard to read) which has this broad base but I was unable to find anyone selling it.  I will contact the Mr. Buddy people (1-855-663-0660) to see if they have a 'fix' for this problem.  I suggest that any potential purchasers do the same.  Without either (a) a 'fix' which allows a person to use standard AAA batteries or (b) a source for these special broad-negative-base AAA batteries, then once this Eiden AAA battery loses its charge, I will have Big Buddys which I can't ignite . . . and I bought six of them!  If I can't obtain (a) or (b) then these heaters will have to be returned to my Sam's Club.  I should have been informed, prior to purchase, that I was being offered heaters which might be unusable after a single AAA battery went dead.
