Our verdict

A thermostat-controlled propane heater that mounts on a wall or stands on legs, with a blower to push radiant warmth into the room. The listing gives no heating area, so sizing it to a room is guesswork.

Overview

Mounting on a wall or standing on its legs, the Heatstar radiant heater burns liquid propane across burner tiles with no vent to the outside. A thermostat governs the output, a blower moves warm air, and a battery electronic ignition lights it.

Thermostat control and a standard oxygen depletion sensor make it suited to supplemental heat in lived-in rooms. Weak spots are the conflicting output figures in the listing and the lack of any coverage figure.

Who it's for

Cold rooms in a house with a propane supply are where it belongs, as a supplement to central heat. People without propane, or who want a heater for a patio, should look elsewhere since the listing marks it indoor only.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Thermostat controls room temperature
  • Oxygen depletion sensor fitted as standard
  • Battery ignition, battery included
  • Wall or floor mounting hardware included
Cons
  • Listing gives two conflicting BTU ratings
  • Heating coverage area not listed
  • Warranty covers parts only
  • Indoor use only per listing

Performance notes

Radiant tiles warm people and objects in their line of sight first, and the blower then moves warmed air further into the room. The thermostat cycles the burner to hold a set temperature rather than running flat out. The oxygen depletion sensor monitors room air as part of the standard safety equipment.
