This heater seems pretty good price for an LPG outdoor unit. Apparently has “close to” 9 hours of use with a 9kg bottle.
Also smaller unit available - Gasmate Heater Area Charcoal - $119 (RRP $259) https://www.mitre10.com.au/gasmate-heater-area-charcoal-6717…

Make a valued comment to the deal at hand, what a shocking waste of electricity.
Says he from NT
But I love gas
I use my back-pocket to store my wallet. Everytime I fart it means I have gas money.
You cannot take propane and propane accessories away from me.
You can have a hearty amount of baked beans and refill it later.
is it compatible with my LPG ford falcon?
Wrong forum. FOG lives on Whirlpool.
Height 2 metres. You need to be standing up to get the best out of it.
Radiant heat has entered the chat …
Like my ceiling fan that you need to be on the ceiling for to get the best out of it
Only heats the head.
Does that make you hot-headed or leave you cold-feet ?
Why smaller expensive
It’s not about the size. It’s about the performance. 🤭
Only mature women would agree to that

This is an alternative for just a little bit more at $119
Good find! can i use it indoor, freezing here in Melbourne. all the electric ones are not satisfing!
Technically yes, we did it a lot at my mates workshop; but you need to consider ventilation well.
The risk is several types of gas build up and you dont know, til you don't wake up….
The reason it worked in a workshop, was its not even slightly airtight, and the "room size" is like triple what the heater is meant for.
Thanks. Ended up grabbing this smaller unit.
Thanks bought one. For next winter. lol. Half price - cant beat that.
Why does the description say propane and not LPG?
Same same
American and asian markets probably bigger, and they just copy-paste.
Hot Deal!
Hank Hill is excited
I guess these are "propane accessories" that Hank kept yapping about
Thanks! Great deal! My patio gets really cold at night! Got the small unit, also much easier to transport.
Can you leave this outside in the rain (while it’s off obviously)?
Probably not ideal. It'll rust
Cheapisium will rust out of the box,
Probably a good idea to paint with a heat proof clear while it's still newish , or throw away now and save the trouble.
These are crap

That poor bastard that left a 1 star review after buying for $249 haha
Doesn't look like a good deal.
Consumption is 9 Hrs per 9Kg Propane, at today's prices its at least $6 per hour of heating.
I believe it'll be cheaper to use an electric radiant heater which should work out to be around 56cents an hour assuming the heater is rated at 2kW and electricity cost is 28c/kwh.
At that rate you can have 10 electric heaters running concurrently and it'll be cheaper!

Alternative for those too lazy to Google.
Gas is going to produce alot more heat than this tiny electric heater. That heater is going to do fk all

Cheaper here if that floats your boat - $79
This is a 36 MJ/h (10kW) heater.
Hence you'll need to spend a lot more upfront for electric units (5 off 2kW) to match the heat output of the gas one.
I can just picture some dude running a massive octopus of power boards and extension cables daisychaining 10 electric heaters into a single powerpoint.
"Yeah the fuse kept blowing but I replaced it with a paperclip and she's been right ever since. They always go too wimpy with those fuses anyway".
Thanks Op got the small unit…
For those who have had both which is better? 2m one or the smaller one? Pros cons for each?
Smaller. I've had both. Can sit and stand around, no chance to melt the roof if you have a pergola, won't burn the top of your head. Easier to move around.
The 2m one imo. Less chance of children touching it and would produce more heat
OOS
Its back in stock if anyone is still interested.
No , a waste of money unless your selling shots and meals at a bar , then allright , I hope the 'tips' r ok or they're dropping their wallets ..
Its gone up in price
Picked up my 2 units, bought some gas tanks. Except I gotta fill the base up with sand according to the instructions. Ukh. Trip to the beach? lol
oh lucky Australian
