Awesome heater!
This thing is absolutely awesome. Puts out so much heat for a tiny heater. I mainly use it in the garage during the winter when I have wood working projects. Not only does it take the little 1lbs propane canisters, it can also take a larger propane tank if you purchase an adapter and hose for it. When I'm working on a project in the garage, I use my 20lbs propane cylinder. If i'm outside (or go camping), I love the convenience of popping in a 1lbs canister and carrying it with me everywhere. Super easy to light and extremely safe.

    Its the best
    This little Buddy heater is the best! Its not real big but puts off so much heat. You can feel it blowing out hot air. This is absolutely a must have for the cold temperatures. we use it in our tent when camping in cold weather and we stay snuggly warm.

    Listed as new but looks used.
    Arrived quickly and exterior packaging didn't look opened, but interior packaging (original box) looked a little rough. Once opened, unit looks used. Scruffs, scratches, and white residue on sides, front, and bottom. Disappointed.

    black friday price is misleading
    heater is great, but the fact they are trying to say its $165 is majorly misleading.

    Not a good heater. Will never heat beyond 6 in.
    This is possibly the worst thing I have purchased from Walmart. No matter what temp i put it on it never heats beyond 4 inches from itself. Even adding the forced air fan recommended on YouTube it still does not heat beyond six inches. Run away from this purchase.

    Love this heater!
    This little heater worked like a dream. I used it off-grid in a 12' camper in freezing weather and it only needed to be on for 10 minutes at a time. Very compact and so easy to light. Highly recommend!

    Awesome little heater, very efficient and portable
    This is a great heater, I bring it everywhere, carries like a purse. Recently used it for an outdoor concert and 8 of us ladies were toasty the entire event, place two of them under our table and heat was amazing. We dressed warmly, but wouldn't have been comfortable at all in Chicago cold without the heaters on. It takes seconds to operate, lightweight and a cylinder last at least 4 plus hours on high. Also used one for a G.S. Christmas Hot Chocolate event and girls were plenty warm in the cold. Great for hanging outside watching your kids play their sports. Walmart has the absolute best price around, believe me I shopped everywhere. Very quick, free delivery and well packaged. Highly recommend this heater I am purchasing a third one.

    Mr Heater Buddy
    Works very well. It heats really good even on low. I think this is perfect for emergencies or for when you would like to stay warm outdoors or inside. It took away the draft from our living, dining, kitchen area (one large open space). I purchased this so we will not have another moment like the "Freeze" we had in February 2021 in Texas.

    Great little heater.
    Its a great heater I full-time Rv on the east coast and thus far this litte heater has been the sole heat source in my 30ft class C. I turn it off at night for safety and when using for the first time use sudsy water to make sure there is no leak in the connection.

    Excellent Heater
    This thing works better than I expected. Heat output is excellent in a 30 ft. camping trailer with no other heat source. I live in North Carolina, so I do not anticipate temperatures falling much below 20 degrees. It will serve very well. Propane cylinders cost a lot, I recommend a 20 lb. bulk tank.

    Great product
    Very happy with my purchase of the Mr. Heater portable heater. My husband and I took it with us for a short camping trip in a small cabin with no electricity. Up in the mountains, we knew it would be getting chilly at night already. Mr. Heater worked like a champ. We would turn it on in the cabin while we fixed and ate dinner outside. When it was time for us to go to bed, the cabin was comfortably warm. We turned it off then so the cabin would not be too warm for us to sleep. There were two windows in the cabin that we did crack open for fresh air, but we never smelled any fumes from the propane. No problems with the ignition, held it for about 30 seconds, like the instructions say, and it ignited every time. For heating small spaces this heater does the job. Plan to keep it handy in case our power goes out and we can at least warm our bedroom for a more comfortable night's sleep.

    Love it
    Got a little Electric heater and put it to my power watt to see what it would cost 80 bucks a month for about 6 hours or less heat a day and it would take forever to heat the bedroom. This Monster heats the room in 10 min and the fact that I can fill the little tanks up myself works out to about 80 cents a refill. The room gets hot so I can turn it off and save .I'm gonna get me some more just for emergencies and to maybe let friends use durning a Power outage. At $79 bucks I don't see how anyone could complain.

    Unprepared
    Excellent heater. Now we need the freeze again. Was caught unprepared and now we are not so unprepared. I ordered two of them . Might order more like the big buddy heater.

    Great emergency source of heat
    Heater was simple to light and puts out good heat. Its only meant for a smaller room but would keep you comfy in that smaller room. Bought it strictly as back-up emergency for elderly neighbor. During a power outage you would be very glad you had this.

    Great for extending outdoor space during COVID
    I wanted to extend my outdoor space due to COVID and decided to convert a canopy pop up tent into an area I can enjoy my hammock even during cold rainy weather in the PNW while also keeping my plants from freezing. I added transparent side walls to get a greenhouse effect and use this portable heater while Im out enjoying my hammock. This thing fired right up and I keep it on low so it lasted a few hours on one small tank. LOVE this thing for my needs. Not sure how it would do in temps below well below freezing but it worked well with our 30 degree outside temps and kept my semi enclosed outdoor space nice and warm while I tended to my plants and relaxed on my hammock.

    Mr Buddy should be called Mr Warmy
    Its quite solid looking. I bought it as a backup for my van when my electric heater can't keep up with very cold temps. This is quiet and much warmer for those times.

    Using to heat my porch
    I'm using it on my porch I enclosed it and it seems to be working pretty good I'm sure it would work better if my porch was completely sealed off definitely recommend it

    excellent heater
    I use this heater in my 22 ft camper. Temperatures get down to 40 at night. This heater warms it to 70 if left on, but I just use it to get to 66 and turn it off. The high setting is comparable to an electric quartz heater on high. It is light and small, and it puts out a lot of heat.
