SS2 Diesel Heater Toolbox Compact-SE, 6L Plateau Mode

This is the one you want. Warm air, easy to use. Bluetooth and remote. I just wish the outlet flange was longer. It is difficult to get a 3” hose on the end because it is so short.

I watched a bunch of videos about diesel heaters, read all of the comments and took a chance. My experience is that this heater was well assembled and safe to use as it came from the factory. There were no loose screws or hose clamps. There were no leaks. I’ve run it flawlessly for 10-12 hours daily for several weeks heating a 14’x22’ room in a garage. Does it heat it up quickly? Not really, but after a couple of hours the temperature has been at least 10 degrees warmer than outside and after that the temperature keeps rising about 10 degrees Fahrenheit an hour. That’s my experience with this heater. The room has a 12’ ceiling, so it’s a pretty good sized space. I have the heater sitting outside the building and 8’ of ducting run through the window into the room. I think it would heat quicker if mounted inside the room and the exhaust run through the wall to the outside but I’m not sure because I haven’t tried it. On the highest setting I think it will run about 12-14 hours per tankful. I use a 50 amp lifepo4 battery to power it. After the shutdown sequence is completed, within 5 minutes the exhaust pipe and heater are cool enough for me to touch and separate for storage. The exhaust pipe is actually cold within 5 minutes . I think this type heater is for people that have some experience with equipment and who enjoy operating different types of equipment. If you expect to plug and play and don’t have any idea of what to do when a clamp needs tightening or how to install a fuel line hose clamp, maybe you should consider another type of heater. Personally , I think these heaters are fun to set up and run and I am not a professional.

I've been running it all day for 6 days now, and shutting it off at night. It's very cold in colorado. Takes awhile to get my 2 car garage up to temp but it eventually becomes quite comfortable. I have to use it on high all day tho. Its a well insulated 2 car low ceiling garage. I weatherstripping and caulked many places so it's pretty weathertight. The Bluetooth app helps in the morning. I just turn it on when I wake up from my bedroom. So far I'd say I'm pleased. Wish it had slightly more power to be able to operate on a lower setting but my space size is stretching it for the size of this unit. You can't really beat the size, cost for the output, and ease of use. I just hope the longevity is there too but we shall see! In the morning I am able to get from 50 degrees to 62-65 in 1.5 hours. After that it is t shirt weather and it's 1 degree outside right now so I can't complain.

Bought it and came right before we left for camping. Took it straight out of the box and fueled it up. Started first try. The night was 30 degrees. Used it and had to turn down the heat. Got out 4 person tent hot. So ran it low setting and kept the chill out of the air. Only complaint was the fuel pump has a faint clicking noise. I’d recommend keeping it far away from tent as possible. But it wasn’t that bad. Also. Download the app on your phone. It was nice not having to get out of the tent and see the status and control the heat from inside.

Got this heater because I was looking for something a little more portable. I own a Silvel box heater and it works great but wanted something smaller and a little more weather resistant. So far, I have used a for a week straight in the PNW during winter. Worked great, fuel efficiency was good but it was a little loud.
