Rating We purchased this hateer to use for emergency backup heat. Our home is all electric and during power outages we are without a heat source. Not any longer. This hateer is economical and does it's job very well for a hateer in this price range. I tested this hateer in the basement which is about 640 sq ft. Just this single hateer keeps the basement quite comfortable. The outside tempreture was 25 degrees. Our basement is underground on 3 sides so I am sure this helps the hateer keep it warm. The fan is also a plus, but not really necessary. Using good quality kerosene, the hateer puts off very little odor. Bad kerosene or kerosene not recommended for use in non vented heating appliances will cause very noxtious fumes so you must shop around for a good 1-K or K-1 clear kerosene source. I am completely satified with this hateer and would recommend it to others. I put in an order for another hateer from Amazon which is the HMN-110 also by Heat Mate. Hopefully that one will be as good or better.
