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.

It doesnt normally come with the hose and power supply even at $150. So to get it for $57 with $40 of extras is quite a steal. Thanks Sam's.

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

This heater is the real deal. Heats my garage too warm sometimes! We have have enjoyed this purchase.

We purchased this to tailgate in very cold KC temps. It worked very well and didn't as much propane as expected to heat as well as it did. Very efficient.

I'm sure the heater works fine but its very frustrating reading to manual to discover I need to buy a seperate filter to use a bigger tank. This is marketed as if it is ready to go but doesn't include a necessary piece. I'd much rather them increase the price by $5 and include the filter instead of having to track one down.

I just bought this yesterday and just of note.....you need a AAA battery that goes under the bottom of the heater to spark the pilot light, won't work without and it doesn't mention that anywhere on the outside of the box. You also need 4 "D" batteries to run the fan if you would use electricity. Too soon to rate the product itself, but wanted others to know this information.

I have been extremely happy for this product. It's very nice to have the 3 heat setting. Low gives plenty of heat great for longer periods of time, however having the medium setting will greatly help if you need more heat. I will use the highest setting usually to start with to get the room heated then switch back to low or medium.

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.

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