I bought this 3 years ago and it has worked really wel... that is until I went to fire it up this fall (what would be it's 3rd year of operation).

The fuel pump had issues after a bunch of work it's ok again... but the unit itself is showing signs of use (as in the front metal diffuser plate is just about melted through) this will certainly be the last winter for this unit.

Pros: has been reliable, lights quickly, minimal smoke and soot

COns: single speed, loud, not tri-fuel, difficult to refuel

In the end I'd recommend and re buy this unit it's cheaper than others and has served me very well to heat a shop/barn for 2 long Upstate NY winters.

I bought mine used, and have run it to winters heating tents for masonry work. This thing has been hammered with insane amounts of dust, which usually kills any other heater, and it just keeps chugging. I'm a little boggled that there's no air filters what so ever, but I'm happy not to change one all the time. Recently it's been having trouble starting in the mornings. It smokes a lot and I have to restart several times. Once it fires right, it's good for the day. I'll get around to cleaning it soon which I'm sure is all that's wrong with it. I still give it five stars, super quiet and burns clean. Cons.......definitely needs a thermostat and the thermal cool down is a little annoying. I've owned and worked in tents with many k1 heaters and this is the only one that doesn't leave me dizzy at the end of the day. Don't smell it on my clothes either. I hope they make a 150,000 btu soon. I'm sold.

There are plenty of heaters like this out in the marketplace, but few are as compact as this, which is advantageous when using it in a small garage. It's a snap to use and moves about easily when placed on a small mover's dolly so it can be positioned where one needs it. Overall, I'm quite pleased with it and highly recommend it.

Honest reviews on 70,000 BTU Kerosene Radiant "Sun Stream" Heater

This was my second purchase of the same unit in 5 years. The first had finally worn out with a bad fan bearing and a cracked heater plate following 5 winters of nearly constant use. Pound for pound, this is the best portable kerosene heater on the market. It kicks out 70,000 BTU's in a small very quiet package. We run this inside an enclosed outdoor patio of 800 square feet. We're able to enjoy a warm climate controlled space through the winter months without shouting over the noise of a loud heater. There is virtually no kerosene smell and best of all, this sells for a very reasonable price. This unit is highly recommended.
