    I purchased two of these and they work fine. The only concern is that this unit may drain your battery. I added an alternate battery with a battery isolator to separate the battery usage. The plastic housing is kind of delicate and may be easily broken so install with care. I installed it on my Simplicity tractor.

    Giving it average just because It was what I expected. Easy to hook up and heats small cabs. Kept me from freezing to death but nothing spectacular. Use for a inclosed skid or small UTV. Not the best for a truck or bigger area.

    Was going to go through the whole tearing apart the side moldings and running wires to the battery. Thought about it and said let me make sure it works first. Touched the battery cables with the wires and only the heater started. No fan to push the heat. So returned it for full refund.

    No power at all. The fan is so weak that it makes the heater useless.

    Works great I installed it in my pickup truck because I needed more heat. Wired it to the battery with a inline 30 amp fuse like the instructions said. The only thing I didn't like is the power light stays on when the heater is off so this might drain your battery so I added a toggle switch to kill the power to the heater when it's not in use.

    Heat comes on and is pretty warm. However, the fan inside does not work. So no air is being blown. Even if you turn on just the fan mode, the fan does not engage. Deeply disappointed in this, as i leave on a trip tomorrow and do not have time to find an alternative heat source

    This was not a new unit. It came from the Best Buy Returns Dept and had obviously been opened and used. I did not pay for a used item Best Buy, it was supposed to be NEW. WTH?

    Shipping time was extremely slow. When this Heater did arrive it seemed like a returned item or open box. It was missing the installation hardware. Doesn't put out much heat.

    Met My Expectations

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I installed this heater in a 25 year old car when its heater core needed replacement. It will not heat the entire cabin of a car, but if you mount it on you dashboard and aim it at you, it will heat your face and torso. The nice thing is that it heats up in about thirty seconds. I mounted it using velcro on the dashboard so I can easily remove it and turn it around to defrost the windshield. I gave it five stars because after reading the description and the reviews, it turned out to be exactly what I expected.

    Brings the temperature in a in a heat less car during a 1 hr commute. Not a perfect solution but it does work for bringing up the interior temperature. Have it attached to the back seat armrest. Been using it for about a month now.
