Why I Chose This Heater
I’ve been focusing on renovating my boat cabin lately, which has kept me away from buying new products. However, I came across this compact diesel heater on AliExpress, and it caught my attention for its simplicity, affordability, and size. It’s fully autonomous and seems ideal for my needs. The delivery was quick—just 7 to 10 days—and I’m hoping it won’t disappoint.
Unboxing and First Impressions
The heater comes with all the necessary components:
- Exhaust and air intake pipes
- Control panel
- Remote control (very handy for adjusting the temperature without getting out of bed!)
- 12V power cables and a 220V transformer for versatility.
The heater is lightweight and compact, making it suitable for various setups like campers, trucks, or even tents. It’s not designed for backpacking due to its size and power requirements, but it’s perfect for my boat cabin or long fishing trips in winter.
Setup and Installation
Setting up the heater was straightforward, though the exhaust pipe required some adjustments to ensure proper airflow. Here’s how I did it:
- Exhaust Pipe: I positioned it away from the air intake to avoid inhaling fumes.
- Air Intake: Installed with a filter to prevent dust from entering.
- Power Connection: Connected to my 12V lithium battery, which is also linked to a solar panel for extended use.
The heater can also run on 220V, which is great for use in a garage or other indoor spaces without draining a battery.
Testing the Heater
The next day, I took the heater outside for a test run. Here’s what happened:
- Initial Issue: The heater didn’t start, and diesel began leaking. Turns out, I forgot to connect the fuel line!
- Second Attempt: After fixing the fuel line, the heater started smoothly. It took a few minutes to warm up, which is normal for diesel heaters.
- Performance: The heater blew out hot air at over 50°C within minutes! It’s powerful and efficient, consuming only 0.15 to 0.25 liters of diesel per hour.
The remote control and Bluetooth app make it easy to adjust the temperature, though I prefer using the remote for simplicity.
Final Thoughts
I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase. this diesel heater offers excellent value and quality. It’s perfect for my boat cabin, and I’m confident it will keep me warm during winter fishing trips.
