Can't order for shipping and none available nearby for me in the central coast of Cali
That said, this is a very well made portable heater from a great brand and a good price.
The only real downside to this unit is its small size. 9k max BTUs isn't very powerful, and running it at that level will eat through a 1lb tank of propane in just 3 hours. This definitely won't heat your whole house but it would be great for heating an RV or a van, or emergency heat for a smallish room.
I don't trust it running with my family in the room, but it didn't register on the CO detector while running, so that's good.

I am thinking of keeping it low and also crack the door open. It'll heat the house a bit but mostly keeping the bedroom comfortable.
Anyway, I got this Mr Heater at Costco for $80 and it have the extra hose to attach to the propane tank. That should keep it running for awhile. Will use it for when I really need it. Or else the space heater will work fine for the bedroom.

I don't want to be overly cautious but also don't want to under estimate it. I will compromise by leaving the room door crack open and see if "low" is good enough. Want to extend the propane too in case the power go out for a super long time. Hell, with all the crazy push for electric vehicle likely the dam electric emergency vehicle will need help themselves.
I look up all the sensors and seem everyone just assume they work. I am looking for one that actually tested and actually work.

Now that I have electric blankets I'll likely just run an extension cord and supplement with that. I measured and both of the twin size draw about 100W each. My queen size hasn't come in yet, but I'd imagine that it will use very little fuel to keep us more comfortable. I usually run the generator constantly for the fridge and freezer, so adding a couple of hundred watts won't matter too much.
