I am thinking of using one for heat in a off grid house. To help keep it 55-60 degrees or so. I have a wood stove for really cold nights. I have 12v available , although my system is 24vi can supply a near constant 10-20 amps, and surge up to 100, for about 20 minutes, the 24v charges the 12v bank at 10-20a say 15amps , if the constant run current isn't that high I should be OK with running one! And still run my 12v lighting! Great video...
I have been looking at these for a while and this one looks better than most of the others I have seen. I want one for out Toyota Coaster which can get a bit chilly in winter (even down here in Oz) but I am yet to work out where to put the exhaust. It is a bit hard just from the video to work out how noisy it is.
Good review John, too bad about the shipping damage! I would run both the exhaust and combustion air intake outside. If you combustion air is pulled from inside and then exhausted outside, cold makeup air will be pulled in from outside, making it a little harder to keep the temp up, and consuming more fuel. Another great review.
John, have a word with their support team. How they deal with problems is as important a part of the review as how the kit performs. I've found Banggood have excellent surprisingly easy to deal with suppport on the kit they sell, usually they want a video showing the problem and within a couple of days they'll have a replacement or replacement parts in the post (often airmail - so you don't have to do the 30 day wait). Its sometimes difficult to work out how best to film something NOT happening in a way that proves it's not happening and not just not switched on ... but you pays your money ... I've bought a few bits, my soldering iron died on the job after only 5 weeks, I had a replacement on the doorstep within 14 days and they didn't want the bust one back, so no hassle with returns.
Good review if you don’t mind I have some questions. What is your workshop size? How long does it take to get the workshop up to a comfortable temperature? What is the fuel usage? In the States my shop is probably closer in size to yours, but I’m on the smaller size. At the present my heating is a combination of electric ceramic and portable propane, like you I do not constantly keep heat in the shop. I use the propane to heat the shop quickly so the ceramic can maintain the comfort level. For myself it’s around 60 F.
I use one similar to that one in my workshop 20X10 feet and it warms that up to a nice temp., they are loud but not bad when your working; my pump is not that loud; fuel consumption is very little, you can buy little silencers for about £5-£7
Hi John, nice review. Any chance you could do something similar on your quick change toolpost. Ive been looking for one but only seem to see piston type.Keep up the good work.
Hello John, you sound as though your in my area. would you be up for making a spoke copier for replicating batches of wooden carriage spokes ? Have a look at fishing lure copiers on here for the general idea, although mine would be bigger to accommodate a 3' length of timber
Hellow John , I bought Diesel heater box like this ,but i wont to extend the cable to mounted on the wall of my VAN , Can i just cut the 3 wires and extended ? is that going to affect the count or the temperature on the screen if i did that ? thank you
Good review. It's extremely loud. I wouldn't be able to hear myself think and the constant racket would drive me up the wall. I still think decent insulation and an oil filled electric heater is the best solution.
@@inventor1v Obviously. The 'boost is using it to heat a workshop though. Hence my comments were appropriate to that scenario. And it might well be a bit cheaper than an oil filled radiator, which I actually doubt. With a plug in radiator you have clean, quiet, convenient heat. Worth paying for. I don't want to be in my shop with something sounding like a Rover gas turbine APU running feet away from me.
@@inventor1v This isn't a campervan heater, it's a workshop heater. John tested the campervan type a few months ago, he was using that in the workshop too. I agree with Carl Wilson. For a small workshop, good insulation and a thermostatically controlled electric heater is the way to go.
Mounted mine outside and can barely hear it over the fan. Honestly these units should be installed outside and ducted indoors to reduce the noise but I've had mine humming away and can't sleep unless I've got the heater going or a blower fan on to give me some white noise.
Or it could be that loud. Surely he would have said something about the noise if it wasn't hat loud. He seems to talk really loud in all his videos. He might be getting a bit deaf.
Bad review for not explaining to people that once you put the flexible exhaust onto the underside exhaust manifold it will not stand on its own feet because it doesnt have enough room underneath, correct? a little misleading.
Nice work John , good timing. Looking at one for shed / van etc..
Love to hear it with silencer, sounds a bit loud. Great channel, thanks, Tom in Oz
thanks for the revue it made my mind to get a heater for the workshop .
This video instantly turns into a comedy when you turn on the subtitles!
The subtitles are pure gold! Ha! 'So this new dog that since I had the temperature turned out he was 35..'
That was hilarious - thank you

John, good video. What is the exhaust temperature? Would it be worth making your own silencer that also scavenged extra heat from the exhaust?
looks to a good setup , Thanks John !

This could be great for fishing in the winter. You could run the outlet into the bivvy. Is this a safe idea? Thanks!
Hi John, a carbon monoxide detector would be worthwhile having in the workshop if ventilation is marginal. Nice review.

It works, but now I'm curious about longevity and how easy it is to maintain.
Hellow John , I bought Diesel heater box like this ,but i wont to extend the cable to mounted on the wall of my VAN , Can i just cut the 3 wires and extended ? is that going to affect the count or the temperature on the screen if i did that ? thank you
it is built like a Webasto or Espar heater, measure the exhaust temp to figure out the efficiency
Could it be taken out of the case if you wanted to mount differently? Like the other type heaters?
Yes
It looks like a nice upgrade to the other one.
Nice review but, I think I'll stick to the heaters I currently have.
is there any way to have a silent pump bit to noisey
i have been looking at that type for my shed .
Looking at one of these for the camper van, but I can't decide on the kit, or an all in one like this one, any ideas on noise?
If you have room installation is easy. If you don't have room the other kit is the way
Hi John how's this heater holding up?
Good review. It's extremely loud. I wouldn't be able to hear myself think and the constant racket would drive me up the wall. I still think decent insulation and an oil filled electric heater is the best solution.
Those electric heaters cost a fortune to run. I have a couple of them and stopped using them.
oil filled electric heaters are great but no good if its for a camper or somewhere that has no electric!

Hi John, Just found your review on this heater, I think it's just what I need. What is the best thing to give the 12v required?
I bought a 12 volt power supply from banggood a car battery and charger will work
12 volt power supply loads on Ebay
Did you bought from there website?
Good review John and no bullshit just the way it should be.
I second that.
No "bullshit" but definitely misleading.
Why do they bring the hoses out of the bottom of the unit so you then have to sit it on blocks of wood?
That clanking fuel pump is enough to get you just about pissed off...
Mounted mine outside and can barely hear it over the fan. Honestly these units should be installed outside and ducted indoors to reduce the noise but I've had mine humming away and can't sleep unless I've got the heater going or a blower fan on to give me some white noise.
that has been banged good
Is there alot of heat in the exhaust?
Yes it gets very hot.
Was there a problem with the pump or are the really that loud, as that ticking would drive me up the wall.
Self-levelling mike could be exaggerating it, plus camera is right up close
Or it could be that loud.
Surely he would have said something about the noise if it wasn't hat loud.
He seems to talk really loud in all his videos. He might be getting a bit deaf.
You can quiet down the pump, there are lots of videos on these on CZcams
Too loud! I would have liked to have seen how you nented to the outside and wrapped the exhaust pipe because it does get hot.
How many kw John? Thankyou
rated at 5 kw certainly warms my garage up
I have this heater but as soon as I put power to it the fan starts spinning and nothing else
there is a face book page dedicated to these heaters worth a look
😎👍

Thing is pretty damb loud for its size
is it me or is 200 quid stupid money for a heater
will it burn waste oil?
No; diesel
Yeah ..you can thin it with diesel...filter it though.
Wow £195
Same heaters on eBay for £85
It's so noisy, I'd need to keep it outside!
Outside would be fine, all you need is the heater pipe going inside, the rest will happily work outside if covered and protected.
2:14 120billion fuel time hahahahaha!!!!! subtitles
Imagine trying to sleep with that peice of junk running.
