Sengoku Heat Mate Portable Radiant Kerosene Heater 10,600 BTU , Beige #HMHR-1101 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using this heater for several years and have had no problems whatsoever. About 1/2 the heat is radiant, the other half is hot air rising from the unit.
It will burn for 12 to 14 hours before having to refill its 1-gallon removable tank. During this time, it emits no smell at all. The heat adjustment range is from 90% to 100% - like any kerosene heater, it is not safe to try to turn it down below this range.
The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the electric lighter bulb burns out too easily - it is like a flashlight bulb without the glass bulb - when you press the igniter, the bulb's glowing filament presses against the wick, igniting it - if the wick doesn't break the filament. In this case, a long wand butane lighter works just fine.
It is true that the very first time a kerosene heater is lit, it will stink. Once the burner has come up to operating temperature for the first time, the metal parts become annealed and ready for use. If the other reviewer lit it for the first time indoors, not knowing this, it would have been a very unpleasant surprise. The first time should be outdoors. After that, you can take it inside.

Kero World KW-11F 10,000-BTU Indoor Portable Radiant Kerosene Heater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used one of these for about 3 fill-ups now: about 36 hours of use. (I don't think it will ever be 16 hours on 1 gallon, but 12 is fine by me.)
It's flawless. It smells a very little bit at start-up and shut-down, but while it's running it's essentially odorless. And perfectly quiet (a very soft gurgle once every ten minutes or so when it needs to sip some fuel into some internal tank) -- and it puts out a lot of heat.
I have a room that's maybe 300 square feet with 5 big windows. On a cold night (close to 0 degrees F.) this thing can warm up that room by 2 or 3 degrees in 10 minutes, and maybe by 8 or 9 degrees in an hour. If you sit across the room and it's pointed straight at you, you can feel it right away.
It easy to fill up. There's a cannister that you carry outside (garage) and fill from your kerosene container with a hand-powered siphon. Worked the first time. This may not work if your outdoor kerosene container is too low, but then you can just use a funnel. The cannister stands up nicely by itself for filling, on a level surface (like a garage floor).
There's a little window on the cannister that lets you see when it's almost empty during use -- and when it's almost full during fill-up.
When you want to turn it off, you press the "extinguish" button -- the big knob in the middle winds rapidly counterclockwise -- makes a loud noise -- and the flame usually goes out immediately. Sometimes it may gutter for 30 secs or so before completely going out.
At start-up time the flame gutters a little for maybe 60 secs before the combustor starts to glow red, then the flame stabilizes and becomes perfectly quiet. You can't really see a flame except a little bit of blue -- maybe a quarter inch at the very top of the combustor.
It's very easy to start up using the little battery starter device -- you just push a red button, hold it for a second, then slowly release. I've done maybe 20 starts so far on one pair of batteries. You can start it with a match instead if you want to (or have to.) But the battery-powered starter is nice.The back and the top and sides of the unit stay COOL TO THE TOUCH after an hour of use. Probably indefinitely.
This gadget is an example of a perfect combination of high-tech (the way the combustion works) and low-tech (it's .... kerosene, after all.)
There aren't many things this good. Cast iron pans, maybe? And ... um ... windmills that really work ? I don't know.
I don't see how I could ask this thing to be any better.

Sengoku HMRF-1140 HeatMate Portable Fan-Forced 10,600-BTU Radiant Kerosene Heater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although I ordered this heater I actualy received the model without the built in fan. The heater is clean burning with almost no odor except at start up and shut down for a couple of mins. One of the cleanest burning of all kerosene heaters available in the USA at this time. I liked the heater so much that I kept it even though it wasn't what I had ordered.( Amazon credited my acount for the difference is price imediately with no argument, great customer service) I will be ordering the model with the built in fan again. I would recommend this heater TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A SAFE.CLEAN BURNING RADIANT HEATER. Just follow the instructions for operation and maintenance closely, especialy the part about "dry burning" the wick to reduce odor. The only difference between the two is the built in fan otherwise they are the same heater. This is one of several different type of heaters I own and have used.

(More customer reviews)This product does exactly what it is supposed to do and does it great! Heats my log cabin in the woods, in winter, to a degree where I'm comfortable. Very VERY light fumes in the air from the heater! Worth every penny I spent! As far as the other reviewer... I'm not sure why he was having so may problems with his unit. Mine works great, planning on buying a second one, recommended to all who need a cheap form of heat for a big space! =)

Sengoku OR-77 HeatMate Omni-Radiant 10,000-BTU Portable Kerosene Heater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Pros -- This thing delivers the heat! I live in a 980 sq. ft. mobile home with an open living room and kitchen. Even during the coldest months this unit kept me warm during power failures. The heat even traveled to the farthest bedroom, not heating it to the fullest, but keeping away the chill. It runs silently.
The Cons -It does not run for the 12 hours, as stated on the outer carton. I suppose if you heated a very small bathroom it would regulate itself to the full 12 hours. I have to refill the tank every four hours. Since the unit is rather heavy and bulky it's difficult to carry it outside for refueling. It's even heavier on the return trip because of the full tank of kerosene. The carrying handle doesn't feel secure enough to haul that weight.
Unless you run the tank completely dry, this unit flares up and sends a cloud of black smoke into the room during shutdown. A kerosene-stink will linger for half an hour. It has to be taken apart and cleaned every few days to remove the carbon build-up on the wick. I have not yet been successful at removing all that carbon.
A kerosene heater is not for wimps or for those who won't follow safety instructions. It can be dangerous.
I wouldn't recommend this product for someone looking to run it all winter long to cut down on their heating bill.
I would, however, recommend it for someone wishing to have an optional heating source available during emergencies. If the only choices are to freeze or find another heating source, this will unit will do the job well.
I believe the Cons (as stated) are typical of all portable kerosene heaters, so I will not fault this unit in those areas. With the exception of the misleading "runs for up to 12 hours", this unit does what it's supposed to do. That's why I give it five stars.

Sengoku CV-2230 KeroHeat Convection 23,000-BTU Portable Kerosene Heater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With deep winter upon us, these are great alternative heaters for people on electric heat. They provide 23,000 BTU - more than enough to heat 2-3 easily. VERY hot. Foutchie loves to roast her fur next to it. Runs for about 12 hours, a little longer if you cut it back. Easy refill, good protective guard. I have paid $50 more for ones not as high quality.
I have had this brand before and they are long lasting.
