Not sure what to write. On the products description at this website it says safe for indoor use. But in the User manual it says, Do not use in unventilated areas. Too me a heater is for used for keeping the cold away e.g. enclosed area. Item arrived quickly and in good condition. It will be perfect for my garage, 550sq ft., unit rated at 450sq ft. I like to work on a collector car off season, sucks in a cold garage.

I bought the Big Buddy from Sams because it comes with the fan built in. Other online stores carry the model without the fan but at an increased price. heater has 3 settings and it puts out some serious heat. If you buy this, you also need to buy the power supply to run the fan on ac power if it is available so you do not have to rely on batteries. Another must have is a hose/adapter to run the heater off of a 20lb propane tank.

Item Even Came With A Fan!

Great heater at a great price

Best price I could find.

Works awesome very handy

This is a great little heater. Puts out a ton of heat. I recommend pairing this with (2) portable propane tanks and the accompanying hoses, otherwise you will be running out of gas quickly. Raised the temperature in my 300 sq ft garage 20 degrees in 45 minutes. Note to Mr. Heater: I only purchased this from Sam's due to other reviews stating it had the built-in fan. I would not have purchased this heater if I wasn't fairly confident it had the fan, and if It had arrived without the built-in fan, I would have returned it. Your customers want this model with the fan built-in. I read and understanding the reasoning it is discontinued, however I am confident buyers would be willing to pay extra for the built in fan. If needed, I recommend raising the prices to ensure all models have the built-in fan.

I bought this just a week ago and from day one it was nearly impossible to get the pilot light to stay lit. After a week I could not get it to stay on at all. I actually think I got a returned one. I am going to send this one back and see if the next one works better.

Got it to light twice, after many attempts. Using Mr. Heater hose and filter. Will barely pilot light now! Immediately returning. My neighbor has the same 1 from 5 years ago. Even he is perplexed! Sams club gets the 2nds from industry!

I bought a unit Friday 10-08-2021 at the West Road, Houston Tx store. Comes with a fan is marked as so. Have used in the past --Going to friend for House Warming Gift along with other winterizing items
