Faulty wiring in power
Well I got to use the heater three times before it wouldn't ignite anymore and after breaking the control panel realize that you can't even buy a new one for it. So I had to buy a new unit which now is working and works great compared to the last one. But I also discovered that your last one the wiring was underrated to run it

I was very disappointed by this heater. It worked perfectly for 1 use overnight. The next day it shut down after 10 minutes with an over temp warning. I contacted vevor support with the E-05 code and a detailed description of what happened. I then had to go out in the cold and take a video for them so I could prove it did what I said. I could understand if I wanted a refund but I just wanted a replacement. After watching the video they determined it was the temperature sensor. They are sending a replacement sensor which will take possibly 2-3 weeks to arrive possibly longer due to its around Christmas. Then I have to disassemble the heater and replace the sensor. In my opinion I shouldn't have to replace the sensor. I was sold a product that failed after 8 hours of use. I should have been offer a replacement unit. Not just the part that I now have to replace myself. I will be sticking to other brands from here out. Even if they are a bit more expensive.

Mr.
Showed up with a crack in the fuel tank, diesel everywhere the first time i went to run it. I plastic welded it, which is annoying considering it's brand new. I run it with an M18 to 12v adapter and I does its job. The controller app is a convenient feature.

Heater ok but not as expected
Nobody tells you how noisy the fuel pump is, also when in auto mode you would think the heater would stop heating once it hit the set temperature, instead it just cuts back to minimum heat setting so keeps heating and using fuel but at a slower rate. It does seem to be well built and rugged

Used it twice worked great, today got cold again fired up and keeps shutting off. Seems to be igniting issue. Kinda frustrating base used less than two tanks of fuel.

The unit worked great for about two months and now won't even turn on. Would be great if the motherboard wasn't right on top of the burnchamber

Bluetooth App lacks much-needed functionality!
PROS:
1) Easy to install and uses only about 1/2 gallon per 12 hours on lowest setting;
2) The timer is easy to use and you do not have to reset it everyday (make sure you keep the thing fueled);
3) Aside from the fuel pump noise ALL of these types have, purrs like a kitten and VERY QUIET fan;
4) LOVE the two different modes of operation (e.g., set temperature or set operating level).
CONS:
1) Temperature offset is only programmable from the hardwired controller and ONLY allows minus nine (-9) offset. For my needs need at least minus twenty-five (-25) offset and that is even with the controller remotely mounted;
2) The clock is HORRIBLY INACCURATE and advances 3-5 minutes per day. Would be superb if the Bluetooth app allowed programming features found on the hardwired controller;
3) Altitude displayed on APP is in meters only and temperature in Celcius only;
4) Need to be able to program timer (et al) from Bluetooth app (AirHeaterBLE);
5) The key-fob remote is terribly designed. If you accidentally touch "Off" the unit shuts down and you have to wait about 5 minutes to be able to restart. On the surface this does not sound like a problem until you find yourself fumbling around in the dark (nighttime) to try to increase/decrease the temperature and accidentally shut it down;
6) Need to be able to program clock from Bluetooth all (AirHeaterBLE).
NOTES:
1) Overall a great item and could be FANTASTIC with a few updates to the Bluetooth app (AirHeaterBLE);
2) MOST significantly, needs to have the ability to set TEMPERATURE OFFSET up to -25 (minus twenty-five) degrees as the controller shows FAR hotter than actual temperature and that is even after mounting it far away from the heater;
3) The Bluetooth app needs to have an ADVANCED SETTINGS page where all the features can be changed/monitored appropriately. Doing this would be easier than an (impossible) firmware upgrade to the hardwired controller (i.e., those already out in the field).
Would purchase again without hesitation, but sure hope they update the Bluetooth app and fix the clock innacuracy (maybe sync to phone time???).
