I just did an on line review of this product. After reading several other retail site reviews by buyers, I do not plan to ever own this product. The oxygen sensor appears to be the primary issue. Too many posts say the unit refuses to light or won’t stay lit. This is the same technology as those rotten mosquito control devices that run on propane. Stay away from these products if you want to keep your blood pressure down and not waste your money.

I question the ethics of an individual who makes a claim that an item they purchased is a lemon..only to mention a few brief words that they are in full conscience going to sell the lemon to some other poor unsuspecting sucker. Making critical comments about a manufacturer selling lemons and then turning around and doing the same demonstrates the fact that perhaps not everyone opinion on somthing should be trusted.
I have this product it has been running on High with ONE cylinder in it for 2 hours now and has warmed an uninsulated 22×22 garage nicely on this windy 35F degree day.

I bought a big buddy heater and the pilot light always fails in less that 1 hour when running on high. Makes no difference if run with portable cyls. or a 20 pound. Works ok on medium or low but who needs it if you can’t run it on high. Looks like lots of other people are having the same problem, plus there is a recall of the heater due to safety concerns. Makes you wonder why the engineers at Mr. Heater don’t test their products for a couple of hours to see if they work ok and won’t blow up your house.

I bought a Mr Big buddy heater from Amazon.com and what a great deal and what a great company to deal with. It was already the best price around and than they lowered it some more. I sent an E mail to them and they honored the new price. The response was the same day and you don’t find customer service like that these days. The Heater works great, I have been in a ice fish flip over house in -20 degree weather and this heater works great. I told alot of my fishing friends about the great deal on Amazon.com and I am sure they bought some as well. Thanks for your great deals and customer service and giving a great price on a great product

This is the worst piece of junk I ever used in my 64 years. If you do get the pilot to stay on, it will go out when you switch to the burner. Most of the time, you can’t keep the pilot lit long enough to get the burner lit. I am so sorry I didn’t heed the reviews I read about this procuct before I purchased one. I thought it was other users inability. READ THE WARNINGS, don’t buy this piece of JUNK.
