Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sengoku Heat Mate Portable Convection Kerosene Heater 23,000 BTU , Beige #HMHC2230
Customer Review: couldn't be better.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this unit to heat my greenhouse on frosty nights, It does exactly what I needed it to do. It heats a 12X24 ' greenhouse to 70 degrees when the outside temp is below 30. The plants love it.Customer Review: great heater, but . . .
Summary: 1 Stars
I have owned a Toyostove SC-150B since 1988 but I needed more than 13,000 BTUs to heat the living room/kitchen in a 2500 sq. ft. home. I broke in the Sengoku 2230 by burning .5 gallons in my garage and then dry burned the wick to reduce the capillary action of the wick. When I filled the tank and tried to use the heater in my house, the fumes forced me to open all of my windows to air out the house after an hour. Then, I burned another tank full in the garage hoping the heater would quit producing the strong paint fumes, but it continued to produce noxious fumes, so I had no choice but to return it and continue using my reliable Toyostove because it burns clean.
The Sengoku produces great heat but it also generates paint fumes that make it impossible to use inside a house.
Customer Review: not happy with this heater.
Summary: 1 Stars
I am not happy with this heater. I needed to replace the wick not even after 2 months of part time use. This was a first for me and I have been using k.heaters on and off for years to help heat my home in the winter.Customer Review: works great...
Summary: 4 Stars
this heater works good.. you need to "break it in" first. it's best to do that outdoors..i think it took my heater about 6 hrs. maybe a little more. can't remember..i know it doesn't make sense to have a heater outdoors but if you do that inside you get burning metal, paint curing smell??,some of the shiny metal parts will change color. that is supposed to happen..
it was putting out so much heat it would make my ceiling fan twirl.. you must learn how to adjust flame and what the flame should look like. only buy the best kerosene available..
only smells are at start-up and shut down. once it gets up to operating temperature no smell at all. not even a little..
full tank does last 12 hrs.. not sure what happened to the other reviewer.
i would recommend this to buy.. but only if you would use it wisely..
the only reason i didn't give it all stars was the handle that all kerosene heaters have.. seems that they can be engineered better. the handle works but seems kinda flimsy..
i would buy another one but one is enough.. i had a hard time finding a kerosene heater and hurried up and grabbed this one when i found it at an ace hardware store..
