Customer Reviews for VEVOR 8KW Diesel Air Heater Muffler Diesel Heater 12V Remote Control Diesel Parking Heater with LCD Switch for Car Trucks Motor-home Boat and Bus

Nice unit and great price. Thanks. for the quick shipping too. Will definitely buy another one!

Got this to heat my 10x12 canvas tent for a recent hunting trip. First night was a learning experience as I did not have the fuel tank full and heater shut down at 2am and 8⁰f outside and 20⁰f in the tent. Lesson learned "fill the tank before bed".After that the next 6 nights went very well. Ran on medium setting and kept tent at about 60⁰f all night on about 3/4 tank of fuel.Instructions for this are terrible but there are tons of information on YouTube and Facebook groups to get past that. Ran it on a 55amp 12v battery with 100w solar panel to charge during the day

I put one in 2 semi trucks so far and they have saved us tons of money due to not having to idle for heat. Saving wear and tare on the engine and saving money! I’ve bought 4 total in the last year and am eager to install the other 2 into the other semi trucks we have so we can continue to save.

The basic assembly and installation was easy. But getting the remote to pair up was a nightmare. No way to contact the company, POOR instructions.. We ended up searching YouTube to find what to do. It still took over a week to figure it out.

Great heater. This thing works well and is really economical

It is so much quieter than everybody online says it is Things just awesome works great

The heater was beyond my initial expectations in quality and performance. Additionally, the delivery time was just three days with excellent packaging.

I bought this for a 2 car garage with loft. Currently the garage is not insulated, but I’m working on that. It is able to keep some of the chill out of the air and after a few hours of running it starts to get a bit warmer. That being said I’m on a 5” slab of concrete so it’s a massive heat sink. Based on the rated heat output of the device, it’s doing quite well for what I’m expecting it to do, as my demand is much higher than it can supply at the moment.If you are installing in a garage, you will need a marine through-hulk exhaust and something to route the intake outside. And a 12v power source at least 15amps.My only complaints so far with it are that the company rates it at 40 watts of power draw, but on startup and cooldown it peaks around 140-150 watts as it’s running the glow plug before dropping down to about 40 watts. They also have intake and exhaust ports switched in the diagram on the website and the manual it comes with is poorly written. I was able to figure it out before I started the install with the help of some YouTube videos. It also doesn’t come with a fuel filter installed, so I had to buy that separately. My only other issue is that when it starts up it smells like diesel coming out of the hot air output but I’m getting no readings of carbon monoxide or any visible smoke to accompany that smell so not sure what to make of it. It goes away quickly though and once started there is no smell.I have run it for about 3 days, 6-8 hours each day and used about 1.5 gallons of fuel. From my research I’ve read that it will run on just about anything. So I’ve been mixing diesel with the couple ounces of fresh oil I had left over from oil changes. I also put some 2 stroke oil in with it and no issues. Good way to clean out all the miscellaneous bottles in the garage and get “free” heat. I plan on burning waste motor oil in the future with it once I have a good way to filter it before I burn it.I would recommend this to anyone with enough skill to be able t

This in a great compact alternative to a wood stove or dangerous portable kerosene heaters. I use this to heat an 8’ X 16’ shed/workshop (128sq ft). It’s partially insulated (work in progress) and it really heats up fast. When it’s 30F outside, this will heat it up to 65-70F in about 30 minutes, maybe less. It will then keep the workshop at 70F while on its lowest setting all day. I really love how little fuel it uses.I decided to utilize every bit of heat this thing produces and purchased a longer exhaust pipe and made a few loops with it. This alone produces a decent amount of heat, no sense in letting it heat the outdoors :) I also purchased a through-hull exhaust port to really finish it off. All in all I’m very happy with this heater, it’s quiet enough that I can easily have a conversation with someone while in the workshop without feeling like we’re raising our voices.

I really like these heaters. Too bad diesel prices are so high. I have one in each camper and one in the back of my truck cap.
