Product Description

From the Manufacturer
With its newly integrated hot air blowing system, the Big Buddy Heater now takes portable heating to a new level. Ideal for use indoors, the safe Portable Buddy Heater features an automatic low-oxygen shut-off system that automatically turns the unit off before carbon monoxide fumes reach dangerous levels in your tent, camper, or garage. This portable wonder blasts out 18,000 BTUs, and can heat up to 400 square feet of space for up to 220 hours on one tank with the thermostat on low. A blower fan can be powered by 4 size D batteries or an A/C Adaptor. And, multi-position heat settings keep the room at just the right temperature so you're never alternating between too hot, and too cold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Match your Mr Heater with the right Accessories, February 12, 2006
I've been fumbling, stumbling, and bumbling along trying to obtain the "right" combination of MR HEATER items to allow me to use their BIG BUDDY product. I strongly suggest that you decide on which heater you want, then go to www.mrheater.com and pull up the web page for that heater. Find the FAQ section for that heater. Read through the "problems" very closely. You will find there are valid reasons for those problems to occur. MR HEATER explains and provides solutions to those problems in the FAQ. One thing, in my humble opinion, is missing in the descriptions ~ If you are using larger than 20-lb tanks, you may need a "regulator" to control the pressure from the tank to your heater or other small appliance. Check with MR HEATER Tech Support before you run into problems. Be patient and be very clear about your setup. Everyone I have contacted has been very helpful and responsive to my questions. MR HEATER also provides information on the SAFETY RECALL situation with a possible solution on what to do with replacing a faulty heater.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good heater, but kind of finicky., December 24, 2004
I don't agree with some of the reviews. I don't see that it's a fire hazard at all. My Big Buddy was delivered last week. Here's what I found:

My elevation in Virginia, About 800 feet
Ambient temperature, 72.8 (in my house). Outside temp 29.0

1. Running on high on ONE Disposable Cylinder caused unit shutdown after 50 minutes. (Pilot started to flicker, cut out and then gas shut down). Single bottle was covered with ice (I assume that's bad...)

2. Running on TWO Disposable Cylinders got me the balance of three hours smoothly and well.

3. No fumes observed at all. Some moisture, but cracking the window an inch kept it under control.

4. A lot of heat. Too much for my wood floor. I had to put it on my brick mantle. This might scorch tile.

5. It kept my upstairs (1000 square feet) at 72.5. Only a loss of 0.3 degrees over three hours. Better than expected.

Suggestion: If you are trying to run on high with disposables, use two of them. This is not in the manual.

I don't know how it works with tanks, or whether you need to feed one or both inputs.

My unit did not come with the AC adapter. The batteries work.

If you bump it gently, it shuts off.

Conclusion:
For 139 bucks, it fits the bill well enough. It appears to be very well made, but the safety features make it tempermental. For my use as an emergency heat source, it's adequate.

1.0 out of 5 stars This Buddy is no friend of mine!, January 11, 2005
You can't count on this Buddy to keep you warm! This heater has been a huge disapointment! If it is cold it will not run on one disposable or one 20lb tank. It keeps shutting down. Customer service has been terrible. You are lucky if they call you back a week later. First they told me I need to buy the filters which was very hard to find. They will not help this problem I can gaurantee. Then they told me to buy yet another $28 hose and hook both 20lb tanks up. That seemed to work but have not tested it in real cold weather. I use it to heat an ice fishing trailer in Minnesota and it gets cold here. I called them back and told them that idea sucks because I have to worry about always having two full 20lb tanks available otherwise it will shut down. They told me for all my hassle they would send me a quick connect hose for free and that would cure all of the problems of it shutting down because using the quick connect bypasses the 20lb of minimum pressure required to keep the safety valve open in the heater. I waited for two weeks and it never came. I called and they told me to stop using the heater because there is a safety concern and they wont know anymore untill Feb.1st. That is all they would tell me and they never sent the hose. I spent over $80 dollars in hoses and filters for this worthless heater you can definitely NOT count on to keep you warm. As far as the fire hazard talked about in other reviews it did act weird quite a few times with real small explosions. Avoid the headache and buy two of the small ones if you need the extra heat. I have never had a problem with the little buddy.
