Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

At 5 pounds plus the weight of the fuel canister(s) it is great for camping but not for backpacking. Definite plus for cool nights camping.

I'm satisfied based on my brief testing, but only time will tell how durable and reliable it is. It works fine. It always lights up easily with a push of a button.



Cons

Lighting it is a pain in the thumb. In actual use it only stays lit for 3 - 4 minutes before suddenly going out.

Huge safely issue as well as just wasting propane. Returned for replacement. Now stuck with burning $70.

Too top heavy for cheap plastic holder. Doesn't come with a propane cylinder base as shown in the photos. If this one simple thing were designed correctly.

No temperature or heat control. Just one temp, no high or low. Heat is not great and top heavy so any bump knocks it over.

I did have ventilation set up to allow fresh air to come in so the auto shutdown didn’t kick in even after 4 hours of operation

    Im writing this review anyway because there seems to be much confusion around this product


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Issue 1 multiple reviews i read indicated this item does not work with coleman propane cannisters


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So not one to be defeated i headed to my local walmart and grabbed a 4pack of the coleman cannisters to try


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There is a soft plastic 34boot34 on the coleman cannister presumably to allow it to stand on its own in other applications but it can be removed if youre having issues getting the cannister into the buddy base


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I immediately assumed the worst came to amazon to ask the question and read many answers where users experienced the same thing


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Most responses indicated returning the heater immediately with no indication that it was ever tested


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The first propane cylinder ran out in the early morning
