DeWalt 68,000 BTU 20 Volt Battery Start Portable Cordless Propane Space Heater with Quiet Barrel Forced Air Design for Job Site and Workshop

There’s really nothing bad I can say about this portable heater!! My wife and I love it and use it all winter to warm up our garage/shop! It is able to warm up a standard sized 2 car garage from approximately 45 deg to 75 d g in 15 to 20 min no problem on max power (68,000 btu) then we usually just turn it all the way down to low power (28,000 btu) and let that run on and off the rest of the time. We have to turn it completely off more often than not otherwise it gets WAYYYY too hot in our garage. Like above 80 deg F! And just for reference… the outside temperature is usually between freezing all the way down to well below zero… it doesn’t matter what the outside temperature is though. No matter what it is… this awesome little heater never struggles to get the temperature in our garage up to 70 deg + no problem!FYI… I installed 3 carbon monoxide detectors in our garage just to be safe. Yes I know that’s probably overkill for a 2 car garage and one heater but better safe than sorry. Anyway, this heater has NEVER made ANY of our CO detectors go off. Moreover, I’ve never been able to detect ANY carbon monoxide coming from this heater no matter how long it’s running or at what power. I feel like it is very safe! Just make sure your hook your lines up properly and also do a leak test to make sure they are not leaking anywhere and you’re good to go!Lastly, I want to point out one more feature that we LOVE about this heater! — the ability to run it EITHER from a standard wall plug via a 2 prong extension cord (110 v in our case here in the US) OR from a standard dewalt 20v max battery pack (one 4-5 ah pack is MORE than enough and you will LITERALLY run out of propane LONG before your battery is depleted! Even if using a 40 gal tank!! No joke!)This versatility is extremely handy. Game changer in my opinion! And doesn’t draw much power at all! Just enough to run the fan inside the heater.I would say the only thing they could do to improve on an already great design is to make it to where the battery will charge if plugged into the wall. It WILL NOT charge a battery pack when plugged in just to clarify! But this is not a big deal at all and I would consider myself just nitpicking the tool for things that could be better about it by even bringing that up!Anyway, again to sum this long review up… fantastic heater!! Couldn’t be more pleased! If you are considering this or one like it… just stop right now and BUY THIS ONE! you won’t be disappointed!! Oh and btw… all this is coming from a die-hard Milwaukee guy!!! So ya, that’s saying a lot! 😉👍 lolCheers!

I like this little heater a lot. It puts out good heat, is portable, battery powered, quiet, light, and doesn't stink (like a kerosene one). However, it does eat a lot of propane, and is able to draw enough from a 20# bottle to freeze it up pretty quick. I noticed that when the tank gets below 1/4 full, that it ices over and throttles back the heat output a lot. If I shake the tank, it will pick up the output for a little bit and then go back down. I think a 60# tank will help this problem somewhat, and I plan to buy one soon. Battery life is to be expected from running a fan and the igniter, and i would recommend a 4AH or larger battery for good run time. The smaller batteries still work, but not for very long. The unit flashes a green light for a while before the battery dies to give you plenty of time to get it changed out. The only real criticism that I have for this unit is that DeWalt should have added a 120v AC plug for the times when you want long run times but don't have enough batteries to go around. Oh and also a Natural Gas Conversion kit would be nice too!

Easy to use, either on an extension cord or with a 20V lithium battery. Puts out good heat and is compact and easy to transport.

Easy to hook up and start up. Warm my shop from 45 degrees to 70 degrees in about ten minutes! My last propane heater never coul get my shop to 60 degrees in the past. Super quiet for how powerful Is. The outer shell doesn't seem to get hot to the touch at all.

I think this is an awesome design and concept because we use it all the time and the other plug in models need the super heavy extension cords or else they won't work. The battery life is awesome and I just put a 6 amp hour battery and it lasts for hours! My one and only complaint is that the pilot light/lighting system is a little finicky. I have had problems lighting it at times. You have to push the igniter button down and sometimes I push it down and it doesn't light but when I let off on the pilot button it lights for a fraction of a second but doesn't turn on. Often times I have to just turn it off and let it sit for a few minutes and then try again. If you try too many times the pilot button won't push down all the way so you have to wait and come back a few minutes later. Other than that it puts out a lot of heat and I heat up my entire shop in 10-15 minutes and often times have to crack open the garage door. I recommend using in a well ventilated space anyways because there is a smell and you can tell that it burns a lot of oxygen so DON"T USE IN A CONFINED SPACE without there being a fresh air source somewhere. This works great for concrete curing with a concrete blanket! Just shove it under the blanket with a steel cage so it protects the heater from touching the tarp or blanket and you can cure concrete without having to have power out there! I wish they had invented these 10 years ago because it is one of the coolest designs! I love Dewalt stuff and you won't go wrong with this as long as you don't mind the finicky ignition system and it just might be my individual heater too! As always I take reviews VERY seriously and you won't go wrong with this item!!!!!

Works great takes about 45 to get my unfinished 3 car garage to a comfortable temp. Then I lower it all the way and I'm cozy. After about 3 hours I Start sweating and shut it off.Make sure you have an extra propane tank around because roughly 4 hours full blast will drain a grill tank. Upgraded to a 120lbs tankGreat product, would buy again.

Works really well for my garage where I have my golf simulator set up …heats it up in 20 minutes …not too noisy and really like the battery option!
