Vevor 8KW Diesel Air Heat XMZ-D1

Great value, easy install, heats well, arrived in Adelaide with in 2 days from ordering. Exceeded my expectations. As its a diesel heater the fuel pump makes a a ticking sound when operational so I replaced the pump with a quieter one from Amazon for $40 very, simple change over, plenty on youtube. All diesel heaters will click so I was expecting it but the new pump halves the noise. It might be a problem if you want to sleep when its operating depending on your habits.

Heating your home is getting more expensive every year. Being on a fixed income, I aim to save where I can. I go camping, preferably autumn/winter, but getting old, means I feel the cold. The solution a 5kW diesel heater, to keep me warm. At home, despite having solar and storage, I wanted to further reduce my usage. Then it hit me, the big brother 8kW diesel heater.

A quick online search and an 8kW diesel heater arrived. Being the 'horizontal' version it is all but self contained. I needed only provide a 12v 15A power source, enter a 240v transformer, sorted.

With a 5L fuel tank, and consumption of between 0.16-0.62 L/h, so you can expect around 8-10 hours of run time.

Capable of heating 269 sqft or ~24 sqm, it is more than able to warm a large living area.

With three ways to control the heater, controls on board, a remote they provide or my preferred, Bluetooth on my phone.

I have it installed into my loungeroom, and despite a sub 10°C outside temp, at level 6 of 10, it happily maintained the lounge at a comfortable 19°C, while the nearby back-door was open for the doggo.

When it comes to noise, the Vevor 8kW diesel heater is very quiet.

As a way to keep my house warm, with little to no power usage, this is perfect.
