Diesel Heater
4.6

"For safety efficiency and cost."

"It is awesome!"
"Its a pretty awesome little machine."
"It seems to warm it up pretty well and it’s nice dry heat, and relatively quiet."
"They’re super efficient as far as cost compared with a lot of other options."
"These cheap diesel heaters are well worth it."

Mr. Heater
4.8

#9

3.7
