Texsport Sportsmate Portable Propane Heater

throws out more heat than the others - I use this in my golf cart - a little tougher to lite ( push , hold red button , light , hold button until screen turns red ) and on windy days can blow out - but it throws out a lot of heat. 3 settings too - so if your golf cart curtains are down ( it than won't blow out ) you can use a lower setting.

Simple to use, reliable, sips propane, gives out a nice directional heat. Won’t blow out easily or go out if moved. For those saying the igniter doesn’t work - that’s not an igniter! It’s a heat sensor that warms up and keeps the gas flowing; you need to depress it for 30 seconds or so until it’s warm and then the unit will stay lit. Light with a lighter (preferably a long fireplace style one). Tried many others and this one can’t be beaten for simplicity, easy of use, reliability and price. It’s no frills - it’s a controlled open flame folks...nothing more...nothing less. You will not be disappointed. Buying 4 more as presents for friends who like to camp in colder weather. It’s just what the dr ordered on chilly morning to get the hands and face toasty, or if you prefer, feet up and warm. May are posting that they use this in an enclosed space; never a good idea for any propane device. If you are dining that (which I don’t recommend) at least pick yourself up a cheap carbon monoxide detector to put close to it. Odorless and colorless are killers people.

Lights ok but an igniter would be a plus and safer I bought a long grill lighter to light but it’s overall a great heater good heat output

Does not fit my Yamaha Golf Cart cup holders! Heater touches windshield, whatever cup holder I use. I mounted the heater on the middle front floor with the holder provided. It works great, seat just gets warm on HI position. With all the reviews on this heater that I have read, oh this shuts off, the heater does not light, goes off with wind, goes off with bumps! On low, med, or high it keeps running. I live on country farm roads with lots of bumps and jars. Not once did it flicker, go out, or was hard to light. even in a light wind. I do not golf I use my golf cart for getting around the corn field roads and on my property.

I purchased this heater at the regular price through Amazon. There were two versions and we did buy the cheaper one. Actually, it was a purchase for my father. The heater came in two days with Amazon Prime and there was no delay. It was packed very well and nothing was broken. Everything was included as promised on the display. He plays golf all the time and during the wintertime it is extra cold on the course. He uses the golf cart with an enclosure and this heater is ideal for that. It does not come with the propane tanks but you can buy them at Walmart or Outdoor World. He has used it already multiple times since the purchase a couple weeks ago and has no complaints. It does the job. It keeps the interior of the golf cart warm so in between strokes it warms him up. I know he did mention that the automatic igniter does not work as well as he would like, but it really is no problem to carry a 99 cent lighter that you get from The Dollar Tree to carry on the cart with you to use for lighting. Don't use the little lighters like for cigarettes, but the longer igniter lighters you would use for a candle, etc. He would recommend this purchase to anyone that plays golf and wants to stay warm on the course. No regrets!!!!

Easy to lite, easy to use. Was too loud when you are trying to ve quite in a hunting stand.

Purchased Dec 2015 and used a couple of times in Jan 2016. Mar 2017 I got it out to use and it would not stay on over 10 minutes. Call Texsport who helped me troubleshoot over the phone but it still did not work properly. Although it was past the 12 month warranty they promptly replaced it when they did not have to. Very pleased with the customer support and the heater works great in my golf cart on cold days.Also the cost was very reasonable

I keep this (and a fuel canister) in a 5 gallon bucket with a lid in my truck and it comes with me to my sons football practices in November/December. I set it up about 2.5 feet in front of me on top of the inverted bucket while I sit on sideline in a folding chair. Super toasty. Have yet to try in golf cart but I'm sure it kicks ass there too :)
