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

Very easy to use and set up. I I set this up in my pop up camper cool late season nights.... works great!

Dose as should

Very impressed about the quality and the price. Works as described. A full tank lasts about 12 hours on the setting of 3.

Bought this heater out of curiousity after seeing them on Youtube. Very easy to set up and get started. I did have to add two small pieces of 2x4 to the feet to give enough space for the exhaust pipe to bend out from underneath the unit. I successfully powered it for the first hour of testing with a 12V car jumper pack just to test it initially, but purchased a 110v to 12v power supply off of Amazon for $18 to power it permanently. Basically take it out of the box, screw two 2x4s to the feet, attach the exhaust and intake hoses, pour in the diesel fuel, press the power button, press and hold the two arrows on controller simultaneously for 10 seconds or so to initially prime the pump, set the thermostat to your liking and you are up and going. I set mine in the window sill of my garage and made a pass through for the exhaust out of a 2x8 with a 2 1/2" hole cut out and screwed two 6x6" pieces of sheet metal on either side with a 1 1/2" hole cut out for the exhaust pipe to pass through. There are a lot of Youtube and Facebook experts that advise you to mess with the settings, but I test ran the unit for 5 days and nights on the highest setting during the recent cold snap right out of the box with zero issues. Pump and fan were both much quieter than I expected after hearing people complain about it on Youtube. I am really impressed with how much heat it produces on such a small amount of fuel all while exhausting the fumes outdoors. Long story short, ignore the noise on Youtube and run it the way Vevor tells you to and you've got an amazing little heater for emergencies or supplimental heating of your smaller spaces. Highly recommend.

I bought to replace my kerosene heater. Kerosene is getting hard to find. You can find diesel everywhere. It arrived quickly and was packed very well. No damage. It came with plastic fuel line. I replaced with rubber automotive fuel line. If the power goes out, I can pull the battery out of one of my cars and have it running in minutes.

Great heater super easy to put together and use. Shipping to Alaska was faster than expected! Additional items purchased and recommended: . 12v cigarette lighter adapter . 3" High temperature dryer hose, I needed 20' . 90° elbow for the exhaust . High temperature exhaust wrap So far I've used the heater down to -20° without issue. Quality product that I've recommended to several of my friends.

I had a Eberspacher heater that had not worked for years. To replace it, it would have been ~ $1600. This was ~ $160. It fit perfectly where the Eberspacher was. I didn't have to do much of anything wiring-wise or changing the exhaust but just hook it up. The heat is adequate for my 33' Nauticat.I've only used it about 10 times the last two years. It had cut out a few times, but seems to keep going once it gets hot. The controls are very basic. The controller cracked the 1st year when I dropped it, but it keeps working.It likely would not put out enough heat in extream cold weather, but for the Portland, OR area, it seems adequate.

Fuel line given does not fit but everything says it’s that size for a reason it came with a small 10in piece of 3/16th rubber line I think I’m going to just use the rubber hose and cut it like a union or reducer? We will see what happens, directions suck, better off watching YouTube!! I will update later

Put this in and enclosed trailer for heat when camping in the winter. Super cheap. Easy to use and puts out plenty of heat.

This has an aluminum case unlike other heaters with a plastic case. That leaves the fan as the only thing that can burn. The kits online are all the same and ussually made by Vevor or with parts from the same factory. I do like this one bc it has the case and alpine mode. Alpine mode can be used at lower elevations also - it just runs the fuel air leaner which is good esp on low. I opened it after 3 months and the chamber was clean and only has a few fragments of soot at 4500ft elev. All diesel heaters don't have a cylinder so the only thing that happens when you run leaner is less fuel is used w more air. Richer fuel esp on low and at any altitude will clog the burner with soot - See youtube. It uses a 55 gallon drum of diesel over 2 month on setting 1&2 out of 6 in temps from 4 deg F to 35 deg F. It runs 24 hrs a day in a 20x10 room and only occasionally on setting 3 when at lowest temps for example 4 deg F during the day and we are awake and home. At night it runs on 2 at those outside temps and is in the mid 60s inside. This is typical for all these heaters - I own 6 total. The older style without alpine mode requires adjusting the admin settings via a youtube instructional video.I use a marine fuel tanks for some, drum, and the tanks from the kits for my camp trailer mounted on the tongue for easy filling. The largest tank I have seen in a kit is 15L, this kit with 10L can run for 3 days max, maybe 4 days on only setting 1 out of 6. But ussually in cold environments where it needs to run 24/7 it needs a higher setting at night. On setting 6 it 10L lasts 24hrs.I do like the remote which is actually digital not push button as pictured.The newer style remotes that are red and blue have wierd up amd down buttons to the Left and R of the power buttton L is up amd R is down. I wish there were vertical not horizontal, but its really not a big deal.This is currently the only diesel heater/furnace I would buy. But if Inwanted to spend double there are other brands w
