Customer Reviews for VEVOR 5KW Diesel Air Heater 10L Tank Parking Heater 5000W Diesel Heater 12V with Knob Switch for Bus Car Boat and Trailer

The product worked great from the start. My favorite part about this product is the control of the heat levels from 1 to 10. Being able to leave it on the heat level 1 is about perfect for my ice fishing shack on most days of 15-30F. I’ve had it up to heat level 5 so far. It burns very little diesel fuel, so being able to substitute that for propane heaters is fantastic. The heater as an entirety is working fantastic. Basic handyman skills are needed to install this. Plenty of YouTube videos are out there for anyone who gets confused.~Erick M.

Bought it to make a camping heater for my weekend-lander. Did a test run this morning and it worked like a charm. Some initial blue smoke then it was all good. Control was digital with display that I was not expecting but happy to have that for any future error code reading. I think it is 5kw advertized at 4kw. For sure it is bigger than 2kw. Hoping to have some good camping trips this winter with 1 yr old. Installation was unfinished as I am waiting on fuel tank that can be placed inside a aluminum storage box and fit everything in it. For initial fuel pumping use star key along with down key. It is different to common control which use okay and down key. Everything else is same in control operations. Thank you seller for great price. Let hope it last for couple of winter trips in next 2 to 3 years. For $75 can’t ask more. Hahaha

This is what i bought. The VEVOR Diesel Air Heater 8KW, All in One 12V Truck Heater, Parking Heater with Black LCD, Remote Control, Fast Heating Diesel Heater for RV Truck, Boat, Bus, Car Trailer, Motorhomes. Heater works as intended no complaints here! I will be buying another.

Great product, excellent customer service. Quick shipping. High altitude works great here on Idaho.

Works as needed once I got remote programed, bought another for garage, ran vent tube through the shop, heater is loud on highest setting.

Works well in my garage for helping out my furnace maintain heat A lot more affordable than natural gas !!!!

Arrived on time. Needed to tighten up a couple nuts and bolts but otherwise it worked great. It heats well and uses fuel reasonably.

The heater worked great in my shop and use less fuel than propane. This is the 2nd one I bought and installed in my 12 x 16 cabin. They are easy to install and comes with every thing but a battery.

This heater performs surprisingly well. I would have given it five stars except for a couple of things. The housing and some of the connections are fairly flimsy and cheap. My housing and one of the bases arrived bent and I had to straighten them back out. The other issue is a strong diesel exhaust smell when I first start it. It blows directly out of the heat pipe for about 5 minutes. I had to cut a 3-inch exhaust port to blow that outside for about 5 minutes, then I switch it back to blowing inside. I've watched some videos online and may be able to fix it, but I'm going to wait until I have to service it to see if I can get rid of the smell. Once it is up and running, it puts out 210-215 degree air directly at the air exhaust when running on high. It drops down to around 160 when running on low. It is very fuel efficient, especially on low setting. Overall, I would recommend it with the caution not to expect it to be perfect. There are a lot of good videos online about how to set get up and use it. Watch them if you want things to go smoothly. The instruction manual is okay, but not nearly as good as videos from people who have actually put their hands on it and used it.

I wish I would have spent a few more dollars and got one with the newer control unit. The manual does not talk about this style of control unit and how to prime for the first time use or how to use the control unit. It’s not to hard to figure out though. With this unit I just turned it on and tan it through the first cycle til it gave me an error code for no fuel, turned it off and ran it again and it self primed the second attempt and ran good. I haven’t got it out to field test it but ran it off of my dual battery setup in my garage on a 25 degree day.During normal heating with the thermostat set to 85 degrees or so it was running at about three watts. Cool down it jumped to around 400 plus watts for 10 minutes or so till it cooled down. I forgot to check on start up but it didn’t seem to pull that much during initial start up.
