It just works…
This thing blows hot! No previous experience with these type of heaters. I was looking for one that was advertised as quiet, this one is barely audible while in use (the blowing air is mostly louder the fuel pump) Tried it for the first time on an overnight trip in upper 20 degree Fahrenheit weather and it worked flawlessly, never turned it on above the first setting and was too warm at one point so turned it off for about an hour in the middle of the night. It does take a couple of minutes or so to get back up to warm temperatures when cold but fired right back up with the remote. The Bluetooth app is confusing and not very feature rich but works. Had it running about 10 hours at low setting and had about a half of a tank of diesel left. Using with a rooftop tent and very happy so far!

Pretty impressive with two annoying flaws.
The media could not be loaded. Edit: after a three week trip, visiting national parks, the input plug/prongs to connect to power to the unit pushed through the plastic piece so that I wasn’t able to plug it in. Fortunately, the only part of the unit that has screws and not rivets is that portion. I was able to JB weld the prongs in place for one night, and on the second night, the plastic piece, holding the prongs, broke in a different place.The unit has been working great, and the small issue has caused the unit to be unusable. I can’t find any way to contact the manufacturer to find a solution or a replacement part. I’ve attached pictures. The plug-in was extremely tight and difficult to plug into the unit from the start and I just didn’t realize that the difficulty of unplugging it and plugging it back in, was causing the plastic to fatigue.This unit is great. It is easy to operate, heats extremely well, has a nice ventilation/fan mode if you just want fresh air, and is above all quiet. Like really quiet! Two issues the port sticking out of the unit is so short that it is a real pain in the neck to get the hose on. Sparks Overlanding makes a great adapter. However the heat outlet/duct that is sent with the unit is not the standard 75mm/3 inch hose that most all diesel heaters use. It is a very nice hose, it is insulated and even better when collapsed it stays collapsed and is easy to pack and store away for travel. It is slightly larger at 85mm/3.3 inches so is won't fit any of the adapters that you can buy to make this unit really great. Plus it is very loose on the small outlet port with a lot of play making it really hard to use a hose clamp to attach it. I am on Amazon now looking to replace the hose, but am sure I can't find one as quality as this hose (insulated, staying collapsed). Too bad it isn't a true 75mm hose or it would be perfect. Sunster, make the flange for the outlet hose longer so you can attach a hose to it and make the duct/hose a true 75mm and you have got the perfect all-in-one diesel heater.

Nicely built heater for the money.
Easy to setup and use. Operates as promised and puts out a good amount of heat. Very nicely built and compact. I do wish that the control panel with the temperature display was removable so that it could be placed elsewhere in the room.

110v converter failed immediately. Otherwise good so far.
My first diesel heater purchase and it has been interesting.First the bad.Read in instructions and filled with new clean diesel. Connected power converter to heater and 110v outlet in my shop. Unit began warm up cycle and ran for about 5 minutes. Then there was a loud pop from the black box of the power converter and it blew the cover off of it. Unit shut off and pufed some unburnt diesel vapor back through the intake. Upon inspection the 5 Amp fuse in the power converter blew and cut power to the heater causing a immediate shut off. It's clear that the heater draws more than 5 amps during start up. I will be replacing this with a better quality higher amp rating power converter.Now the good.Test 2 was with a 12v car battery hooked to a trickle charger and keeping a steady 13v. Unit powered up and heated up quickly. Ran for over 2 hours with no smoke or issues and shut down cleanly.Heater put out good heat and runs clean through the exhaust.The heat outlet tube doesn't have much room to attach to the heater itself but does work. May need to add an extension and large hose clamp later on.Remote works well and so far the heater does not leak fuel.Overall not a bad heater for the money but do expect to have issues from the supplied power inverter.

Good heater
Works well. Still hear ticking from fuel pump. Good heat and sips fuel for a long time. Remote works well. App to control heater isn't the greatest but works.

Not that good
I saw this toolbox diesel heater on Youtube from overlanders and decided to try it. My experience wasn't as good as theirs.This heater requires 12A to start, just like most diesel heaters. This means you have to wire two solar generators in parallel to get the required amperage as most solar generators have 12V outlet plugs that are limited to 10A. After the heater is warmed up, you should be able to disconnect one of them and allow it to run off just one solar generator. Not so with this one. After it gets to your desired temperature, it lowers its combustion rate. When it cools to the point where it needs to ramp up again to get back to temperature, it tries to draw more amperage and ends up shutting off with error "power overrun". I assume it needs more than 10A again to increase temperature. This is with it running in the green bar zone only.Speaking of which, when I increased the temperature to two bars into the orange zone, it shut off with error "overheated". While running it in the green zone seems to be stable with two solar generators connected, I could not reliably increase the operating temperature.Running other Chinese-made diesel heaters for 4 hours, I can hardly see any diesel usage from the tank. With this heater, it used 1/4 of the tank in 4 hours while operating in the green zone.I like the fact that they piped the exhaust outlet to the side vs down like other diesel heaters. Also, the intake is already installed, unlike others where you have to make the connections. While the heater comes in a nice easy-to-use package, I would not buy again. If I could, I would return this. Its operation is just unacceptable.
