Best Heat Around,
November 2, 2009
By Bford
from Northern Idaho
"We have struggled for the past winters on how to best heat our 1000 sq. ft. cabin. This does the trick and efficiently! It does create some moisture in the air but that is it's only downfall. We have recommended to friends and they love it as well. Great product at a great price. Very easy install."

By mtgirl
from Western Montana
"We purchased this heater for our cabin which only had a fireplace for heat. We installed this heater in the spring of 2008. It was an easy flawless install. We even set up an extra turn off valve on our enclosed deck to be able to move the heater from inside to outside on cool summer evenings. It is very easy to move from one area to another. We have been impressed on the efficiency of this heater and the incredible amount of heat it puts out. We typically operate this on 3 bricks and find there is more than enough heat. We have had absolutely no problems with the heater. This is a definite winner in my book!!!"

getting toasty,
November 2, 2009
By warminmemphis
from Memphis tn
"Put two of these in my house to help cut down on gas usage. Work great, added the fans to them the auto side of the fans seem to take a bit of time to work, but all in all, between the two units with fans house is toasty. Had no problems with pilot light, knob could turn a little easier, the optional legs attach easy, so does fan. I would recomeend these units to anyone, I am very pleased with mine."

Secondary heat,
July 13, 2009
By Paramountfarms
from Northern North Dakota
"I purchased the heater to provide secondary heat in the back rooms of my wifes shop. I wanted something small with simple operation that would get the job done. There are three rooms with out heat and two of them have an exterior wall (one upstair of the other). their sizes are 15x15, 15x20 and 20x20, with large doorways connecting them.
This little heater fit the bill perfectly. I connected a small 20lb propane bottle (to make it more portable) and regluator. I know that the instructions say to use a 100lb or larger but I have not had any issues. Even on -20 degree days it keeps all three rooms warm. It works so well that after the rooms warm up you have to turn it way down. I would recommend this for anyone that has a small work space they need to heat but don't have the ability to vent it.
The down side is the piezio ignitor is kind of tempermental. It also has a slight odor when you first fire it up but that goes away in a few minutes. And I think the optional fan would have really added to it's ability."

Radiant heater,
March 19, 2009
By 3harleybill
from Auston, KY
"The heater puts out nice heat. The thing that I don't like about it, is the controls. The control knob is quite hard to turn and the push button ignitor is hard to push. I guess I should call the manufacturer to see what they suggest."

Good Value,
March 16, 2009
By Ron26
from Angel Fire, NM
"A lot of heater for the price. Only problem is the fan sometimes blows out the pilot. Manufactuer has promised a shield that has not arrived yet. You need the fan for circulation or else there is too much concentrated heat at the source."

ProCom Liquid Propane Heater,
March 16, 2009
By JimM
from Oberlin, Ohio
"This heater is just what I was looking for to supplement a cold area of my basement where I have a workbench. Since I just switched last year to geothermal for the rest of the house, I normaly do not heat the basement. Now when I have a project to work on I just place the thermstat controled adjustable heater in the area where I want it using the attached flexible gas hose.
It can even be moved to the other side of the house if I need it come Chrismas Eve when we plan a family gathering.
The thermostat included with the Model# ML250TPA seems quite accurate for my use. Very happy with it!"

Works great! I bought another!,
February 2, 2009
By BalloonGuy
from Des Moines, Iowa
"I bought one of these a while back as a back up heat source, I actually use it in front of my Natural gas fireplace in the TV room. It throws the heat out and is very quiet. I love the nice even feel of the heat as opposed to my furnace. I bought the additional blower and love it. I bought another heater today to help heat my lower level as my house is 3600 square feet. So I will be ready in case of real cold weather."

Better than expected,
January 26, 2009
By Addwata
from South East CT
"Unit was easy to install and simple to light. Kicks out very good heat.
I have it installed on the wall of my basement - around 1000sq ft of uninsulated concrete.
Brought the temperature up around 25 degrees. Makes the basement usable/comfortable once more.
I would recommend using with a blower or fan to help circulate heat in a larger room."

ProCom LP Gas Heater Model#ML250TPA,
January 8, 2009
By Topwrench
from SE Pennsylvania
"Having worked as a technician/installer for a propane gas company I can tell you this is an excellent,quality heater.Installation is simple with the detailed instructions that come with the unit.This heater performed flawlessly after connecting the gas line and checking the regulator pressure.I did not experience any abrubt restarts as some other people reviewing this heater have stated.The heater I recieved from Northern Tool cycles on and off very smoothly after lighting the pilot and setting the thermostat.This unit also appears very easy to clean and maintain.I highly recommend this heater to anyone who wants to save money on their heating bill.This heater would be a lifesaver in case of a power outage to keep your home or garage warm and pipes from freezing.Northern Tool gets 5 stars for this product!"

Great Heater for the Money,
January 2, 2009
By Geannie
from Ohio
"We purchased this heater a few months ago to become our predominant heat source for a 1600 sq ft house to supplement baseboard electric. We have been able to limit electric heat in all but one room. We installed the unit ourselves after purchasing the needed hardware & piping. The heater keeps 3/4 of our house warm.
One drawback is that thermostat cycling is pretty rough - it startles us almost every time it lights. However, we like the unit so well that we have purchased another unit for the basement and have purchased the optional fan to help us circulate the warm air better."

Overall, great product,
December 19, 2008
By NWCowboy
from Kirkland, WA
"My intention was to use this as a temporary heating solution during a power outage since my home is Electric. My area is generally the last to be restored after an outage... up to 15 days.
With some trial/error and advice from local hardware stores, I was finally able to plumb this in a manner to accomodate a temporary/emergency use situation. Did take some time, but finally got it.
I like this product so much that I'm using it semi-regularly thru my temporary setup scenario. Easily keeps the main dining/kitchen/living at 70 on medium setting. Keeps the rest of the upper level of my house at 62-65 on medium - perfect for a temporary situation. Overall, it is covering about 1000 sq ft.
The downside is that it uses a bit more propane than I expected, but still cheaper than electric. Some of the rivets were broken on arrival. I compensated with sheet metal screws. And, I did have the thermostat assembly fall apart within the first month. Was able to fix with my own hardware for about 50 cents.
If you have to use a few adapters to plumb the unit, the optional base feet won't provide enough clearance.
Overall, great product and I would recommend with the above caveats. I'm terrified of propane, but feel comfortable with this unit! And, that's saying a lot since I plumbed it myself! I've even purchased several of the lower BTU units for use downstairs."

Heater evaluation,
April 21, 2008
By Richandkat
from Layton, UT
"I purchased this heater about five years ago and use it on my patio during cool days and nights when we entertain there. I purchased a roll-away cart and mounted the heater on the cart with a permanent connection to a propane tank on the bottom shelf. The heater has worked superbly and I have had many comments on how it made the pation more comfortable. By the way, the patio is covered and closed except the side that faces the back yard. Thank you very much for a great product."

April 21, 2008
By grizzlyd
from mountains of AZ (5000ft)
"I live up in the mountains with plenty of snow/rain ect... This heater heats you (and objects int he room)to the bone. I love it. Other heaters heat the air. I have already recommend this heater to several friends. And since this heater heats objects the room stays warmer longer, therefore, i used a lot less propane this year and saved money."

Good heat output bad poor temp cycling,
April 15, 2008
By TomR123
from Manorville, New York
"Tremendous heat output. Bad temp cycling. When thermostat calls for heat unit tends to come on violently. At times unit comes on so violently the pilot light gets blown out. Shortly after unit turns itself off due to pilot light safety function not sensing pilot light. Can't count on unit being on whenever I return to garage."

"This unit is a remarkable heater. Unlike many other heaters that I have purchased, the thermostat works very effectively. We keep the unit on low and it
maintains a nice even temperature in the large front room of our cabin. I would highly recommend this heater for auxillary heating."
