| The Ryobi 18V Hybrid Propane Heater can be powered by a battery or electrical cord. |
RYOBI just released
their all new the 18-Volt ONE+ 15K BTU Air Propane Heater. The new heater
delivers up to 15,000 BTUs of heat output which is not even close to the RIDGID
propane heater that we reviewed, but still does a nice job keeping you warm on
those blistering cold days. .
Because the heater
only warms the area of about 450 sq f, it’s not one of those heaters that will
heat a two car garage on its own, but instead can be used to heat someone
standing directly in front of it.
Tailgating, smaller
work areas or just trying to take out the chill, this heater works well, but it’s
not designed for much more than that really.
What’s really cool
about this heater is that it is a hybrid style heater, meaning that it allows
you to use either an 18-Volt RYOBI battery or extension cord. It’s only 9 lbs.,
and runs off of a 1 lb. propane tank (sold separately). This allows it to be
allows transported easily, and can be used by anyone because of how light it
is.
Now because this only
accepts a 1 lb. propane bottle, it’s probably not the best solution for someone
that is looking for a constant use heater. You’re really only looking at1 .5
hours of heating when using a 1 lb. propane tank, and 5 hours using the P108
4.0 Ah Battery. That being said, it would be great for not only some of the
activities listed above, but camping and other similar uses would be perfect.
As for ease of use,
all you have to do is plug in your cord or battery, press the on/off button,
then push the button with the flame on it. It’s instant heat, and takes absolutely
no effort. Once you get warmed up, just press the on/off button again and it
will shut off immediately. Every time we ran this, it was extremely quiet and
really had no issue with moisture/condensation in the air. We also did not
notice any bad smells in the air while it was operating
All in all, you have
to run this in small areas, or stand/sit directly in front of it to get the
heat you need to keep warm, but if that is what you are looking for, it works
great. Just remember to keep a window or door cracked to get enough ventilation
in the area to prevent injury or death from harmful fumes.
