During winters here we can get down to the minus teens (-15F) and we will typically spend weeks in the plus teens (12F). When it is that cold I dont want to do anything in the garage. I have a 50k-200k forced air tube heater that works good but needs 120V for the fan to run and is LOUD.
So I bought this Mr. Heater 80k-200k convection heater, that was described as having significant cosmetic damage. The only thing I saw was that the knob was a little bent and so I simply bent it back. This is one BIG, HOT, and LOUD heater. Perfect for heating up my garage quickly. There is no shutoff valve, amd I dont like that i have to turn it off from the main valves of my three propane tanks located outside the garage. I added a ball valve and extension hose so I can kill it from the inside of the garage. It is tall but can be squished down and then stored at half height. Overall it is a heater with excessive output that can heat up a garage quickly. I usually wear hearing protection in the garage anyway (bluetooth type for music and podcasts) so the noise is ok. It burns a lot of propane vapor so it probably needs multiple big tanks. I havent run the tanks out of vapor yet, but will not be at all surprised when that happens. This heater is nice, big, and hot.

Geese, works better than expected...but bought this on an overkill scenario...with some problems
Wow, heats up a 20'x20' garage easily. (Colorado & 29 degrees.) 2nd pic was on low setting & newly started. 1st pic is on high heat. After 5 min in on low setting I had to shed the sheep lined sweater. 10 min in had to shut it off & in tee shirt. No joke, no exaggeration. I'm impressed with the heat it puts out. However, the unit would not fire-up out of the box. Had to T/shoot igniter system. Turns out pilot flame would not reach the flame sense sensor. Further turns out the regulator on my 4' tank was defective or not useable for this unit. Used the regulator & hose that came with the unit & it worked "better". Also, turns out the igniter was defective out-of-the-box. Had to t/shoot that also. It would not ignite the pilot after above regulator fix. Worked about 20% to 30% of the time. Had to move sparker further away to create a larger spark. Only then would it work 80%-90% of the time. Obviously a manufacturers quality control issue. If you're not mechanically incline I'd probably suggest something else. Otherwise, pretty impressive for the cost & results. Now the question lingers....how long will it last? I'm 50/50 on this purchase as it stands. I gave 4 stars as I was able to t/shoot & fix it. If it wasn't for that I'd give 0 stars for a DOA unit.
