The unit shown on Northern Tool is different the the one shown in the OP?

🤔

Developed in conjunction with Mr. Heater. Mr. Heater is producing the unit as a licensed DeWalt product.

No need to reinvent the wheel when you can pair with a market leader. Win win for us.

I have a dual tank mister heat, for the life of me I can’t figure out why I would need it to be battery powered…. I get that it has a fan and USB ports…. I have all that on other things….

Why not have it all on one unit? Convenience.

This thing is a beast. Other than the doors feeling kind of cheap, the rest of it is pretty impressive.

The handle folds down, which can be helpful when needing to direct the light. My first thought was if there’s a power outage in the cold, this gives you heat and a light, but you can aim the light upward instead of having it facing where you’re likely sitting trying to get warm.

The propane connectors both swivel outward so they’re completely horizontal. Makes it super easy to attach the tanks.

There are keyholes on the back in case you’re using it in a small location on a jobsite or in a shop or garage.

Pretty cool little unit.

Doesn’t a propane heater take the oxygen away from the room you’re using it in ?

Crack a window anyway, …great pics. Looks awesome!… how is it working on heating up a room or garage?

MozeMember since Jun 2012Oct 11, 2018 8:57 AM CT

Not warm enough here to use it yet….

Does the heater still work even when the battery runs dead? I don’t care about the USB or the LED handle. I just need heat.

Yes. Battery just powers the fan, LED, and USB ports.

Mine was delivered yesterday. I second that the doors, and especially the door latches, feel cheap. Otherwise, it’s a nice piece of gear. My better half is already hot on selling the electric space heaters in the garage. It would have been nice if the light, and maybe the fan, had different settings. Press the button a second time and the light dims, for instance.

I’ve never messed with propane heaters. Does anyone leave their tanks connected during storage?

Framer joeMember since Nov 2016Nov 28, 2018 9:34 PM CT

No, I take the tanks off…..I bought this and love it. I built a workshop (insulated) and no heat yet..Garage has heat …I use my DeWalt 68k propane heater to get the temp up (10min) then this heater keeps it warm all day on low..works awesome…
