Best OverallA portable radiant propane heater with two heat settings and a built-in safety system, for garages, patios and campsites. The larger tank needs Buddy accessories that are not listed as included.
A two pack of propane radiant heaters with a piezo igniter, safety shut-off and tip-over protection. The listing frames them as outdoor heaters.
A portable propane heater sold as a pair, with radiant and forced air output for living rooms, garages and workshops. Indoor use depends on proper ventilation, and the listing does not say what fuel hardware is in the box.
A camouflage radiant propane heater with two settings and low-oxygen and tip-over protection, listed for tents, garages, patios and more. The tank connection and run time are not listed.
A wall-mounted ventless propane heater with a programmable thermostat and several safety shutoffs. The fuel fields in the listing conflict, so confirm propane before ordering.
A direct vent propane furnace that modulates its output to hold an even room temperature quietly. It needs a vent and gas line run by an installer, and some listed figures look garbled, so confirm specs with Rinnai.
A fixed propane unit heater with quiet operation and a low profile for spaces that have gas piping and a vent route. It needs a gas line, a power supply and a flue, so plan the installation before buying.
A wall-mounted vent-free propane heater with a thermostat, battery ignition and a low-oxygen shutoff. It is built for the wall, with no floor stand supplied.
A rugged, adjustable propane forced air heater built for warming large work spaces fast, not for indoor residential rooms.
A straightforward manual propane heater for a small room, without the thermostat that Mr. Heater's larger radiant models offer.
A straightforward vent-free convection heater for a room up to 250 square feet, though it is not suited to higher elevations given the manufacturer's own altitude warning.
A tank top propane heater that screws onto a 20-100 lb cylinder and puts out 10,000 to 45,000 BTU per hour, suited to garages, job sites and campsites needing high-output portable heat.
A high-output, electricity-free convection heater built for large open spaces, worth it if you have a 100 lb tank and a big area to heat rather than a room.
A straightforward ventless propane heater for small to mid sized rooms, with the safety sensor and thermostat control that matters most in an indoor fuel burning unit.
A ventless infrared propane heater aimed at spot heating rather than whole room warmth, with the same thermostat and safety sensor as ProCom's blue flame model.
A portable propane heater for barns, garages and open job sites that need a lot of warmth. It is rated for outdoor use, so a closed living room is the wrong place to run it.
A vent free wall heater that runs on propane or natural gas and warms people and objects with radiant tiles. Floor feet are not in the box, so plan on wall mounting unless you buy them.
A high-output portable propane heater for construction sites, shops and large garages, with hose, regulator and overheat shutoff included. The propane tank is sold separately and power details are missing from the listing.
A high-output ventless propane heater built for large spaces, with manual control that keeps the price down compared to thermostat models.
A jobsite and camping propane heater with a fan, work light and device charging built in. Cordless use needs a DEWALT battery that is not included, and the listed weight is clearly wrong.
A thermostat-controlled propane heater that mounts on a wall or stands on legs, with a blower to push radiant warmth into the room. The listing gives no heating area, so sizing it to a room is guesswork.

Mr. Heater, ProCom, Rinnai, DEWALT, Gasland lead this category among the 8 brands that passed our curation checks.
A listing appears only when it has a recorded price, a minimum customer rating, and enough ratings or monthly sales. Generic and unbranded listings are left out, while every real brand stays, including brands sold only on Amazon. The ones that pass are ordered by how many people search for that brand and model each month; review counts only break ties.
Propane space heaters come in radiant designs that direct warmth toward people and objects, and convection designs that warm circulating room air. Indoor use must be explicitly permitted by the manual; an outdoor or construction heater is not a substitute for an indoor heater, and indoor models may require venting or specified ventilation. Once that requirement is met, decide whether you need warmth at a particular seat or work area, or heat spread through a room. Natural Gas Space Heaters use a different fuel supply, so a similar appearance or matching connector does not make one suitable for propane.
Size the heat output around that heating task and the space involved. Among the 5 products that list heat output, most fall between 13,400 and 36,600 btu, and 20,000 btu is typical.. For room heating, compare the manufacturer's sizing guidance with your room dimensions, insulation and exposure to drafts; advertised coverage depends on conditions that may differ from yours. For warmth at a work position, look for guidance on effective heating distance and direction, since a room coverage claim says little about how warmth reaches that spot. If your needs vary between mild and cold weather, compare minimum and maximum output: a high maximum can be less useful when the lowest setting still delivers too much heat.
A thermostat matters when you want the heater to maintain room temperature through changing conditions; manual heat settings require you to adjust output yourself. Look at how the thermostat operates, since some controls cycle the burner while others vary its output. Electricity requirements also separate otherwise similar heaters: distinguish power needed for ignition from power needed continuously for a fan or other functions, particularly if outage heating is your purpose. For a fan-equipped model used near conversation or television, look for operating-noise information and whether heating is permitted with the fan switched off.
Before buying, compare the manual's combustible clearances and any required flue route with the intended installation. Wall Mount and Floor Mount labels leave the approved arrangement unclear, so verify the mounting instructions and whether brackets or feet are supplied. Confirm the required propane supply pressure, permitted cylinder location, and whether the correct regulator and hose are included or sold separately. Follow the manual's ventilation and carbon monoxide alarm requirements; an oxygen-depletion shutoff does not replace an alarm. For upkeep, establish how the burner and air inlets must be cleaned and whether servicing requires a qualified technician.
