DazarGaidin said:mr buddy is safe if vented properly also. the manual even says its for van use among other tight spaces. i slept with mine running all last winter with zero negative effects. vent, alarms, win.
it only produces noticable co when oxygen is depleted.
DazarGaidin said:I use the little buddy, the 20lb with 12 foot buddy hose, and filter. The tank is bungied in at the back door behind my bed and hose feeds under to the heater, which is sitting where it has open space in front of it. I usually keep some of the small canister around too, as the filters will sometimes freeze up. I also keep an extra filter at work to swap out in the morning, but we can go weeks at low teens or less here.
I also have a small fire extinguisher, digital co detector, and wool fire blanket right near my bed and always ventilate well.

Which would you rather pay?

Van-Tramp said:I have to ask, why get this over the Mr Buddy heater? Mr Buddy is a catalytic heater too, costs half that of the Olympian Wave 3, and has higher BTUs to boot.
I can't find a reason to spend them money since I already have the Mr Buddy... am I missing something?
