Mr. Heater Buddy FLEX 11

Overview

A garage corner, a workshop bench or a patio seat is where the Mr. Heater Buddy FLEX makes sense: a portable radiant propane heater with an omni-directional fiber mesh burner. It stands on the floor or a tabletop and runs off a small propane tank, or a larger one through an optional hose.

Radiant heat from a burner built to resist wind makes it useful for fishing trips, camping and tailgating as well as a workshop. Two heat settings and the safety shutoffs cover the basics. Coverage suits a small room or zone, not a large open space, and the included components list the heater only.

Who it's for

Fishing trips, camping nights, tailgating and workshop corners are the situations the listing names, along with a patio or office space. Buyers who want hands-off whole-room heating, or who cannot store propane, should look at another heater type.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The fiber mesh burner radiates heat outward in all directions, so people and objects nearby warm up first. Output moves between the two speeds, and the wind resistant design helps outdoors. Coverage depends on the space, since open or drafty areas lose heat faster.
