Overview
Job sites and shops are the setting for this portable heater, which blows warmed air from a torpedo-shaped body. It burns kerosene or fuel oil and is controlled by a thermostat.
Heavy output makes it a job-site or shop heater rather than a room heater. Forced air moves heat quickly across a large space. Fuel use, tank size, weight and clearance details are not in the listing.
Who it's for
Tradespeople and owners of well-ventilated shops and garages who need strong, portable heat. Bedrooms and tight indoor spaces are not what it is described for, despite the room list in the spec table.
Pros and cons
- Very high heat output
- Forced air moves heat quickly
- Burns kerosene or fuel oil
- Portable torpedo form
- Burns fuel, needs ventilation
- Needs a 120 volt supply
- Tank size not listed
Performance notes
A fan pushes air past the heat source and out of the nozzle, so warmth reaches a work area quickly. The input rating shows how much fuel energy is burned per hour. A thermostat cycles output to hold a set temperature.
