The Mr. Heater Portable Buddy Heater is a portable propane radiant heater. It uses infrared technology to warm objects and people directly. Output is adjustable from 4,000 to 9,000 BTU, and it heats spaces up to 225 sq. ft.
It has an oxygen depletion sensor (ODS) and a tip-over safety switch. You can hear the switch engage if the unit is shaken, bounced or tipped. A piezo igniter starts the heater with the press of a button, with no matches, lighters or batteries needed.
A swivel regulator connects to a 1 lb. propane cylinder. It can also connect to a 20 lb. tank with an optional hose and filter. The heater has an easy start knob and a fold-down handle for carrying. It can be used while camping, tailgating, ice fishing, in a garage or at outdoor gatherings.
