I bought this heater for my 21HP diesel tractor I live in Mass and the winters are pretty cold I used to have to glow the plugs for up to 10 minutes to get it to start and some times it wouldn't even start then with this little guy I just slap it on the oil pan for as little as a 1/2 hour before I want to use it. I Glow the plugs or 30 seconds and she fires right up. It pops right back off the oil pan and I toss it on the shelf until the next time I need it.Kat's 1160 300 Watt Magnum Handi-Heat Magnetic Heater
 So far so good! February 10, 2010

This item showed up at my door looking like it had been sloppily assembled right outside my home before delivery; sticker/label skewed, bubbled and torn; and the handle had to be tightened because it was loose. I am rating this product a three for a few reasons: 1) it has only been used half a dozen times so far 2) it is not exactly a state of the art, highly technological piece of equipment 3) it has performed well so far 4) and it does operate at the correct heating range; give or take a few degrees
On another note; if I where rating this item based on appearence, shipping speed, and performance when tasked under inclement weather (when it gets below 20 degrees or less and 10mph winds or greater)this item would get about a single, solitary star......because they won't let me rate it lower.
In the fairness business though, my opinion is; if you are not going to work this unit continuously, day in and day out, it is probably a safe expenditure.

This product has saved us tons of time when we need to get the tractor started in the cold winter. It has always worked great. I would buy another one if I needed it and would suggest it to anyone who needs to heat the oil pan, block or other engine parts.

Used it once on a very cold morning for three hours; car started quickly without hesitation. Very easy to use.

this is ok but you should probably leave it plugged in over night if you are to use your tractor the next day if it is cold around 30, a few hours isn't enough especially for a diesel, pretty hard to start in the cold, it is ok to leave it plugged in all night.
