Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Mr. Heater MH42T 42,000-BTU Propane Tank-Top Radiant Heater
Customer Review: great heater, 5 stars
Summary: 5 Stars
Heater is everything it is described to be. Works great, heats up 2 car garage quickly. Normally have to shut it down to a single head as the garage becomes too warm. Very quiet during operation, nearly silent. The only thing lacking is auto ignition, you need to light with a match or lighter. I did add a Coleman lantern flint ignitor to one of the heads. I used the match hole to mount it, and it works great to light that head. Need to find 2 more around here to add to the other 2 heater heads. I would recommend this heater to anyone looking for one.Customer Review: Mr. Heater triple burner
Summary: 4 Stars
The triple burner Mr. Heater delivers excellent heat. It lights easy, but a electronic ignition would be nice. Gas usage is close to the specs listed. My only complaint like one of the other reviewers listed, some of the burners will shut off sometimes for no reason on low heat. Maybe i just need to adjust the thermocouples.
Customer Review: Mr. Heater Triple Heater
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent product, very quiet, warm with option to have 1, 2 or 3 heads on at any time.Customer Review: Now this is a heater!
Summary: 4 Stars
The triple burner Mr. Heater works wonderfully! Now this is what you call a radiant heater! Prior to purchasing Mr. Heater I was using a Bernzomatic patio heater (that cost significantly more) that didn't heat very well - I had to practically hug the Bernzomatic to feel heat. The triple burner Mr. Heater keeps me toasty warm! I love the red glow it gives off too! I installed Mr. Heater on a 40 lb. propane tank - this is just the right height to keep me warm while on my deck swing.
Mr. Heater isn't a particularly stylish unit - however, it sure does heat well!
I have a few minor criticisms; overall I'm very happy -
During my first week using Mr. Heater the burners kept shutting off - they would not stay lit for very long. I adjusted the thermocouples to position them closer to the burner and I haven't had a problem since.
Mr. Heater doesn't work very well in wind - it works fine in a breeze or a little bit of wind. I tried to use it on my deck in a storm with fairly gusty winds - not a good idea. The wind tended to cause the burner to ignite the chamber that carries the gas to the burner. If this happens - you'll know it.
It'd be really nice to have an electric ignition! The two burner model has this; however I really wanted a maximum amount of heat - I wanted the three burners.
It'd be really nice if the propane tank mounting hardware was adjustable for height. If I mounted Mr. Heater on a 20 lb. propane tank it'd simply be too short to set next my patio table or swing. If you could adjust the height a couple of feet that'd be nice - you can probably jerry rig something.
Overall, it heats great - an excellent value too, in relation to the cost of patio heaters (which is what I use this for).
Customer Review: Does a very good job
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had my triple Mr. Heater for one full winter (0 to 30 degree nights/days in Kansas). It does a nice job of heating my two-car garage, even with the double wide door being opened periodically. My only complaints are that one of the burners occasionally goes out (but is easily relit) and it "sings" once in a while as it heats up. Apparently the difference in metal expansion as the three burners are lit individually and warm up at a slightly different rate, causes some kind of harmonic and it "sings" until everything has warmed up completely. No big deal. If ya wanna get warm fast, this is the heater for you.
