Dewalt 68000 BTU Cordless Hybrid Propane Heater Review - Model

[@Detroit03133]

Just bought this heater for my 2 car garage. Temps outside in the low 30s and running it on low heat and definitely tell the difference within a few minutes. NOT LOUD AT ALL, LITTLE TO NO FUMES (I do have my garage door open about an inch or so). WELL WORTH THE PRICE!

[@RCInsiders]

Awesome! We have already been able to tackle a couple of projects that would have been pushed off till Spring thanks to this heater. We do the same & leave the garage door open about an inch & have not had any issues with fumes. The blower on the unit pushes the heat everywhere in the garage so it's nice & warm in all 4 corners 😀 Definitely well worth it. Thanks for dropping by & have a great day!! #RCInsiders

My dad used to work for the public service gas company. They say now you’re cooking with gas !!! Awesome review.

[@RCInsiders]

Awesome NC! I'll be cooking with gas all Winter 😜 Now I won't have to shut down the garage for the Winter with this heater :) Thanks for dropping by & happy bashing brother!! RCInsiders

[@antoniononame3037]

I just picked one up and I love it. I’m located in southern Virginia but don’t let that fool you it’s cold , I have been using it for crawlspace work… my only issue which may very well be personal is that in a tight space it causes me to become nauseous and have a slight headache, like I said I doubt it has to do with the heater it’s probably shock from drastic temperature changes

[@RCInsiders]

Nice! I use it a lot on jobs with no power. Makes a huge difference when you can actually feel your fingers 😂 If your using it in close spaces make sure you have some ventilation. A small crack in the bottom of my garage door is sufficient for me. You may want to get a CO detector to stay safe. Any time you burn fuel there is a risk of CO. Thanks for dropping by & stay safe my friend :) @RCInsiders

[@thecopycat2008]

I just purchased one I do home improvements work outside a lot under houses I think this will service purpose for me I could set the heater at the opening of the house blow heat under it while I'm working on plumbing etc also I work in some houses that has no power on remodeling repairs this will work perfect I'm looking forward to using mine as the cold days are sitting in for us here in South Carolina

[@RCInsiders]

Awesome Mike! This heater has been a God send in the garage. Already cold in Michigan & getting colder :) I remodeled a room last Winter & there was no heat at the customers house. It was 5-15 degrees all that week. As long as I kept the room closed it was toasty & didn't have to run continuously. Very happy with it. Thanks for dropping by & have a great day!! @RCInsiders

Hi Bryson, Just got it back out for winter & it runs as new. If I remember from last year, run time on battery was 4 - 8 hrs, dpending on the setting. Best thing I've bought for the garage...probably ever :) Are you getting one? Thanks for dropping by & happy heating my friend!! @RCInsiders

U forgot to aim it at that tv to melt that too so how long will that propane tank run that heater?

[@RCInsiders]

😂🤣 I can usually get 7-10 hours on a tank like on a BBQ grill. Depends on how cold it is & how warm you want the space to be that you are heating & how big the space is.

[@alpha7416]

Nice...I have a Mr heater propane one..it has a built in thermostat so can set temp like house I use in my shop...I use a 100# tank tho cause those heaters burn fuel pretty fast...I have a couple 20# tanks for backup...I don't really have a need for cordless but I could see the use for it for some people tho for sure...stay toasty this winter!!!

[@RCInsiders]

Hey alpha. I looked at that one as well, but in the end went with Dewalt. I have trusted Dewalt for decades & so far this propane heater is performing great. Heats the large garage in minutes & then I just shut it off till I'm cold again :) I definitely wanted cordless capability as I often go to job sites that have no power. I can get 12-20 hours from the 2 batteries. This heater will also be a good alternate heat source should you lose power. I'm getting a 100# tank soon, so it should last the whole Winter with medium use in the garage. I'll bring the 15#'s to stay portable. Have you tried any other heaters for the garage?

Get your garage door adjusted. Look at the giant gap! That rubber seal on the bottom is supposed to touch the ground.

[@RCInsiders]

I will get that fixed up ASAP! Thanks for the heads up 😃 I actually leave the gap for ventilation. Remember, you are burning fuel & burning of any fuel can create CO. Are you getting one of these heaters? Thanks for dropping by & happy heating my friend :) @RCInsiders

[@franciscosalazar9715]

You have to leave the garage a little bit open yes or no ?

[@RCInsiders]

Hi Francisco, With the burning of any fuel you create CO & a reduced oxygen environment. If your garage is completely sealed with no incoming air, it is a good idea to keep a door cracked open, My garage is not perfectly sealed & I have ran the heater with doors shut for 4 hours without even hitting 100 ppm co You can get an air monitor like this if you want to know fir certain what the quality of the air is: amzn.to/3K63Nr1 If not, keep a window or door cracked :) Is your garage insulated? Thanks for dropping by & happy heating my friend!! #RCInsiders

What the run time when using 20v battery

[@RCInsiders]

Usually get around 5-6 hours. I bring a couple batteries with me when going to a job site without heat & the 2 batteries always last through the day. It's an awesome heater for sure. Are you getting one? Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :) @RCInsiders

[@jadyn078586]

Great video informative video! I have a quick question I purchased a used Dewalt heater same model as yours but it did not come with the propane hose I’m not sure if I need a high pressure hose or a low pressure hose can you help me out?

[@RCInsiders]

Awesome Tyrone! I couldn't be happier with this heater. It is recommended that you order any replacement parts from the manufacturer, That being said, you can pick up replacement hoses for propane heaters on Am or Eb. The important part is the regulator. Make sure it matches as this is what regulates the amount/flow of propane allowed into the burner. I have used replacement hoses on other heaters but I can't recommend one for safety reasons. Is this your first propane heater? Thanks for dropping by & Merry Christmas my friend!! #RCInsiders

@@jadyn078586 I'm not sure of a specific psi. The hose you get for this unit has to accommodate up to 68000 BTU . Also, this unit does not have an internal regulator which is why you need a low pressure regulator/hose

[@JaredCarter84]

How long do you think a full propane bottle would last on low? Or ballpark

[@RCInsiders]

Hey Jared, It would depend on the size of the tank. I have been running on a 15lb tank like the on on your BBQ grill. Approximately 7 hours of mixed high/low run time & tank seems to still be 1/2 full. Hoping to get around 10-14 hours on the small tank. It uses a lot less than I thought it would :) Are you getting one? Thanks for dropping by & happy heating my friend!! #RCInsiders

[@700_Hunter]

Is this safe to use indoors like a shed or garage?

[@RCInsiders]

Hey Hunter, As with any appliance or tool that burns fuel, co2 & a reduced oxygen will occur. Normal co2 levels range around 400 to 1,000 ppm indoors. OSHA has established a safe co2 level at 10,000 ppm for a 8 HR work shift. Having the garage door cracked an inch or 2 like you see in the video, during a 4 hour brake job we never went over 800 ppm of co2. So with just a little ventilation you can safely enjoy a nice toasty garage 😀 We like to stress safety, so we recommend that you pick up a co2 monitor for peace of mind :) You can go as elaborate as you want with an air monitor, but this one will take care of most of your needs for the garage - amzn.to/3DqLCrd Thanks for dropping by & happy heating my friend!! #RCInsiders

[@boredretiredguy7785]

Any idea how it does on your electric Bill??

[@RCInsiders]

Hi, It has been negligible so far. Not enough to notice a difference. I did a little research on this. The fan that the blows the heat runs at a constant speed when running. The best I can figure electric use is right around 5 - 10 cents per hour when plugged in. I did cost analysist on charging the batteries & its right around 25 cents for a complete charge from empty. At 10+ hours of runtime per battery that's that's about 2 cents + 25 cent charge. So...about 30 cents for 10 hours on battery or 50 cents to a dollar when plugged in. Ugh...Hope my math is close 😜😅 Very cheap on the electric side for a full day of warmth in the garage :) Are you thinking of getting one? Thanks for dropping by & happy heating my friend!! #RCInsiders

[@JoeJ523]

You should do something with the gap under your garage door A lot of heat is going to escape.

[@RCInsiders]

Hey Joe, We leave a crack in the door for added safety. Sometimes we leave a crack in the regular door. I haven't noticed any fumes yet, but better safe than sorry. Even with the crack in the garage door it stays nice & toasty :) Do you have one of these heaters? Couldn't be happier with it. Thanks for dropping by & happy heating my friend!! #RCInsiders

[@thecopycat2008]

Possibly the Gap would be for ventilation you're not supposed to be in an enclosed area with this type of heater so yes probably a good thing to have that door spacing under it for ventilation

I would definitely not call it junk, This heater has made working in the garage comfortable in our extreme winter environment. It has made doing side jobs throughout the winter possible.

@@RCInsiders Also last year it would not come on high heat at all . Less then 10 hours running time on mine not sure what it is .Maybe the thermal coupler is dirty or bad regulator Im hoping. Im just annoyed everything you buy today is not made that well. Cant tell you how many Poulan gas leafblowers I went thru in 5 years 3 of them pure junk dont buy them,HAA! Took me three to learn not to buy another on that one. I mean the heater it works great when it works small compact but low quality parts its a ticking time bomb till it breaks. I would think 5 years would be a good run time on this heater 25 hours or so not less than 10 like mine. Hope yours fairs better..

@@GPOldMarineShop Mine, as well as most others have done very well. Already 100's of hours of use & still working fine. Did you contact anyone like I asked?
