Product Description
A magnetic heater is an electric heater that heats the engine or transmission of a vehicle to give quicker starts and protects your engine from damage that can occur during cold weather starts. Warmed engines also deliver better fuel economy, plus improves oil flow to provide better lubrication to the engine, which reduces wear and increases engine life. Oil and transmission fluids thicken and do not circulate well at cold temperatures. Magnetic heaters transmit heat continuously to keep oils fluid, giving you instant lubrication when starting your engine. Magnetic heaters appeal to the automotive, heavy duty, and farm supply segments, as they have a myriad of uses.

For my old tractor, with no room in the water jacket for a freeze plug heater, this is an excellent solution. The magnet is powerful enough that you feel secure leaving it attached for a while unattended, and it transfers the heat to the oil and metal more effectively than a dipstick heater, which has very little surface area. The nice thing about attaching this device to the bottom of the part you want heated is that any heat that escapes flows up and around the part it's stuck to.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I've used this heater for the past year in Northern Wisconsin, where the weather can go to fifty below. Just put it on the oil pan and plug it in. It maintains sufficient warmth and oil viscosity to start the engine the next morning despite the cold.
I bought the smaller one and it's worked great. If I had one complaint it's that, while the unit functions in extreme weather, the electric cord insulation cracked due to constant use in sub-zero weather. I will replace that, since this unit is indispensable to someone living in a very cold area.
I have a specialized engine block heater in one of my cars and have used this unit on the others. It functioned as well as the engine block heater, despite it's small size.
I would highly recommend this unit. The magnet is plenty strong to attach firmly to a flat metal surface and the small size is actually an advantage when sliding it beneath the engine to attach it.

Works well, would suggest a higher wattage for diesel engines though. The package insert (in fine writing) states "indoor use only," which is ridiculous since if my vehicle was indoors I wouldn't need a block heater.

Magnetic Heater
It works but is very weak. It gets hot but doesn't seem to transfer heat well. If you want to warm anything of any size from cold, get something else.

A good product made in the USA

Needed to heat the air intake port for the pellet stove so it would easily automatically ignite at very low empty cabin temps. NO PROBLEMO:)

Seems to work as advertised (test only). Has'nt been cold enough to really try the product By reputation this is a great product and I have no doubt that it will work fine.
