There are three "name brand" manufactures: Espar, Webasto, and Planar. They cost about $1000, so they are significantly more expensive than the cheap Chinese heaters. I don't own one so I can't speak from personal experience. There are a few YouTube videos comparing them. Here's the best one I've seen:Are there diesel heaters that are higher quality? Perhaps not Chinese? Maybe with a quieter fuel pump?
My personal opinion: if someone has the mechanical skills to install one, they also have the ability to troubleshoot/repair it. There's little disadvantage to trying the Chinese heater. If someone is paying to have it installed, they probably can't service it either, so it's less risky to go with the a brand that has earned a reputation.
