The 12V Portable Diesel Air Heater by HCALORY, is a fast and convenient way to heat up about any small space. Here are some of the things I’ve learned while owning it and things to consider before buying.
• The quality is pretty good for this type of heater. It’s definitely not top of the line, but everything feels strong enough to survive a fair amount of trips.
• It’s pretty easy to set up and everything can go in the case if needed. I set mine up once and haven’t had to transport it after. However, it takes a little time the first time and you might need to make some modifications, so it’s definitely best to make a serious test run before leaving home.
• The performance has been really great, providing a ton of heat that can warm up a small room, tent, back of a truck, really fast and keep things super cozy through a cold, bitter night.
• The case is strong and protective to some degree. It’s a little loud, but it’s to be expected and the muffler does a decent job.
• The app is nice to have as a way to control things and provides a good amount of options.
• It’s not super light, but manageable at 20 pounds and a lot lighter than many other heating choices.
Overall, this is a great option if you’re in need of some easy to access heat that has options, portability and most importantly super performance. I’ll be sure to update this review, if I ever start to have problems with it.

I was very excited to get this. I planned on using it for my large greenhouse to help keep it up to a decent temp. during the early spring/winter months. It worked very well. My greenhouse is about 15ft by 30ft. I was able to keep my greenhouse above the outside temp with this thing on low. On high I have had no issues keeping the temp around 45-60 degs. when it is 32-16 deg. outside. Install was easy, but I have installed one before. Youtube can always help with basic instructions. Item came undamaged, though it was late it was not due to the seller. We had 4 ft of snow and the freeways were closed for a day or two. I have had no issues with anything on it.On low setting I can get about 5 days on a 5 gallon tank of diesel. On high or high med. I can go about 3 days of non stop running. I have been using this thing since November non stop and just have a little noise coming from the intake fan, but typically will go away after a while.

This thing is awesome. Slept in the bed of my truck in 28° weather and was sweating, had to turn it down to 1 from 3. Would 100% recommend for overlanding and truck/car camping.

This is a great heater but it needs a little work. First thing I did was mod it, these come with the typical white plastic diesel heater tank that norequires a hole be drilled in the bottom of the tank. An possigle leak point when the fuel fitting is on the bottom. Also the tank mounts to the heater's side about 3 inches higher then the bottom of the heater so when the tank is full the unit wants to tip if it's not solidly on level ground, even then it's a little sketchy. Had they designed it so the tank's bottom sat on the ground this wouldn't be an issue. I added a Rotopax style 1.3 gallon tank where the supplied tank is supposed to go except it was mounted it so the tank is also sitting on the ground, now the unit is very planted with no tendency to tip. It was an easy mod, first time I ever put fuel in this was on a camping trip, I was able to get it fired up with no trouble. It was in the high 30s at 10,000' and I was heating a large SUV tent. I ran the heater on low all night and it burned .4 gal of diesel. Most of the night I had to keep a tent window open so it didn't get too hot inside. It heats very well and quickly, no odd odors and it doesn't give off odor when stored. It's easy to use, as long as it has enough power just push the on button and wait a couple min, it'll be cranking out some heat shortly. The rugged case is nice, much better then a modded pelican case and if space and ruggedness is important, this is far better then the standing metal skinned heaters diesel heaters.These pull allot of AMPs during startup and often the smaller power boxes can't supply 10A of DC voltage reliably. A work around is get a 12V/10A power supply/brick like a laptop charger and run the heater off the A/C output on the power box and plug the brick's 12V DC into the heater. Once it's running it only needs juice for the fan and that's very little. I plan to use this to heat my garage cheaply in the winter. Not all the time but it puts out enough to warm it up pretty quickly and it will put out high heat it all day for about $4.

So, first thing to note is this comes only halfway assembled - mainly the internals. All the exterior components need to be screwed/mounted on. That being said, the case this comes in is cool but once you connect everything it really kind of defeats the purpose. Instructions are terrible and hard to understand.I did my guesswork and put everything together. Upon start up it draws quite a bit of power (I saw 100+ watts, not sure how accurate that is) but then steps down to only 18 watts on low, 50-ish on high.Within 5-7 minutes of first start up I had hot heat!Seems like other people either get one damaged or have power issues by not using a strong enough power source. We'll see how long it holds up but based off first test it's great.
