 "Powerful Heater" 2010-03-07
By MFB
This little heater is great..I work in an office in my unheated Garage and running electric heaters is far to expensive...This little heater get VERY hot..it seems to get as hot as the BlackCat .It gets so hot its hard to heep your hands over the elemnt for any extended period!!....but is stingier on propane use..It can run almost 2 full days using on one propane bottle thats about $6 a week or $24 a month..running an electric heater would be 5X times the cost.......obviously not for heating large rooms but for a taking the edge off a cold work place its ideal ...the stand makes it very stable..the product gives off more of an initial odor than the blackcat but this goes aways after about an hour after first use..I only wish I could turn the heat to a lower setting!!...no kidding!!... its a powerfull unit..dont hesitate..Coleman always provides great value in their products and this is no exception!! great job!

 "Good heater" 2009-12-08
By ml783 (Chicago, IL)
I am glad I bought this before our camping trip in September. Nights were already getting cold and this was a good added warmth to the tent. The first night, I was worried about leaving it on as we went to sleep and kept waking up to check on it. The rest of the trip - no worries, slept like a baby. It's great if you don't have kids who might tip it over. Even though the instructions say not to leave it on through the night, I did and I was fine. I did use the tip of others to first light it and let it burn out in the open air for 30-60 minutes before you light it in an enclosed area as the factory fumes are quite nasty. Also, be careful with it inside your tent as I by accident let a flap of the tent touch it and it made a hole instantly. Nothing serious that a patch couldn't fix, but I will be careful next time. In general - great product, maybe my next one will be the more expensive version that you can point in various directions, but for now this will do.

Loved the performance of the heater. Easy to use and kept us warm all night.

 "OK, not great" 2008-09-29
By Sanders LaMont (Sierra Nevada mountains)
We purchased the heater while camping at high altitude in a pop-top camper when the temperature started reaching near-freezing a night. It is compact, easy to light and small enough to fit into small tents and/or spaces. But it was not adequate for the space in the Coleman camper.

It did take the edge off the cold, perhaps warming the interior 5 degrees or so, but never made the camper warm. We still required warm clothing and even a blanket around our knees/laps if we wanted to be able to sit up and read or talk.

It would probably work better for a small tent, but it simply does not put out much heat. You can warm your hands over it, if you are careful.

Next time I would purchase something with a higher BTU output.

 "Camp Heater" 2008-05-26
By J. Gomez (APO, AE USA)
For the most part, the heater was easy to use, it did go for about 14 hours on one propane tank and was easy to light. It also stood sturdy on its own inside the tent BUT I did not think that it had heated my tent enough. We were still cold.

 "Love em'" 2009-12-12
By orangemittens (AZ)
I own 3 and they last about 2 years with regular use. I just bought a new 1 and threw the ole' out after 2.5 years of use. When the little plastice piece that holds the handle in place wears down, I take a small rock and duct tape it in place where the ole' plastic piece was. I have it on 2 of them,dose the trick 4-me! :-)

I like the fact they are low 2 the ground in case of any wind.

Hope this helped, Happy Holidays to All and Overseas!

 "To hot to handle." 2009-10-21
By Jeffrey M. Saiz (Rio Rancho, NM USA)
I was looking for a heater to set up in my tent for those really cold camping nights and what I purchased was a heater that is flimsy and unsafe. One of the legs gave out fter leaving it on for about 30 min. It fell over burning a hole in my air mattress. Worst camping purchase I have ever made.

 "Great for warming up the camper shell" 2009-01-03
By David E. Ellis (Eatonville, WA)
Got one of these for warming up my pickup truck camper shell when camping - works great - no issues with smell as mentioned in other reviews but would have preferred the type with piezoelectric ignitor.

 "Near Perfect" 2008-07-18
By D. Card (Monroe, WA)
I have owned this item for a couple of years now and I won't go winter or fall camping without it (unless I am packing in). I run it in the tent right before I hit the sack and then run it again when I wake in the morning. It requires one square foot of ventilation (don't forget that).



The only downside is that the handles can slide down if you don't set it up correctly. Due to this, I never leave it running when I am not awake.



I highly recommend this item.

 "Works Great!" 2008-06-15
By Dablox (Utah)
I bought this from a retail box store for a little more than it is going for here on Amazon for an early season camping trip just 2 weeks ago. It looks great and performs very well. Right out of the box, the two legs that hold it up kept collapsing. I had to tighten each of them up with a phillips screwdriver. It stayed up with no problem after that. It lights almost instantly with a match (more on that later) by holding it against the outside of the ring. For the first while, it was burning off the factory 'oils', etc, so I was a bit stinky. After that, it was fine. I recommend running it outside of your sleeping space for 5 to 10 minutes to get that initial stink out.

It will heat for around 7 hours on the high setting with one standard size bottle of propane. They do not recommend that this be connected to a full size propane tank.

Really the only problem that I had with the unit as a whole was that fact that there was no electronic ignition on it. You have to light it outside of the sleeping space with a match/lighter. I would have bought the one with the built in igniter, if the store had it in stock. Otherwise it works great.

 "It works pretty well" 2009-11-28
By Philip B. Krigel (Nashville, TN. USA)
I am a fair weather camper more for my kids than me. If it were up to me tents would come with a pop out recliner and big screen TV. We have a Kelty and it is about 9x9. I put this on a small but stable table inside and it put out enough heat to make a 40 degree night more comfortable. I now have two of them and they make it quite comfortable. We did not use them all night. After turning out the lantern we shut off and hopped into the thermal sleeping bags and we were comfortable.

I am satisfied with black cat, but with two of them I am a happy camper. Just be sure you have some ventilation for safety and place them on a sturdy surface to prevent any accident.

 "Difficult product to review" 2009-10-25
By Stephen (Southern CA)
I bought this because we were going camping while it was still pretty cold outside. When you get it you need to burn it to get rid of the initial fumes. It lights easily and does project a warm area in front of the unit. If the air is still you can use it outside. If it is windy forget about it. It is still not clear if it is recommended for use inside a tent while sleeping. I found conflicting information. We have a large 16X8 dome tent with an open mesh top covered by a fly so I felt like it would be OK to run inside. I'm still alive so it didn't kill me. It did warm the tent but in reality the heat is going out the top of the tent. It helped keep us warm during a very cold night. We actually got some sleep; everyone else in our group was groggy the next day because they were so cold. I woke up at 2 am with a frozen face and replaced they empty cylinder then relit it.



There are heaters that burn outside the tent and warm inside but they are big and expensive.



My wife and kids liked the comfort. Is it worth the cost of the unit and a few cylinders of gas to keep you warm at night? For us the answer is yes in the right situation. When it's cold and you have kids or a frozen wife it's worth its weight in gold.



The quality is decent, not great so I give it 4 stars.

 "Rugged, easy to use, good for camping...but watch your fingers!" 2009-10-18
By Gordon L. Mcdaniel (Republic of Texas)
While outfitting for "primitive winter camping" I first opted for a 400W oil-filled electric heater w/ power control, to be run off a battery backup pack at night--this to preclude any CO/CO2/fire hazard problems. A backup pack big enough to do the 400W'er, plus several other minor electrical things, is not in my budget.



So...I bought a BlackCat, tried it out on some of our prematurely cold Central TX nights (suck it, GlobalWarmingWeenies) and loved it.



I loved it so much I just bought 2 more. I don't do campfires for warmth or cooking, so these BlackCat's have a lot of work to do. They seem up to the task.



But, as I said, watch where you put your fingers while moving it or you may get excessive "warming" where you least want it...ouch.

 "Coleman BlackCat Heater Review" 2009-10-02
By H. Snyder (Cleveland OH)
The Coleman 5038-850 BlackCat Perfectemp Catalytic Propane Heater is an excellent value for the money, and it was delivered in only 3 days after I placed my order! Outstanding service Amazon!!! I have used the heater twice already in my camper and am highly satisfied. True, it does not make it warm enough inside the camper to bake cookies, but it takes the chill and dampness off, which is all I needed it for.

 "Worth Every Penny" 2009-09-28
By D. Hajek (Waukesh, WI.)
I bought this before a camping trip I was taking in late September in Wisconsin where the weather is usually cool and damp at night. I have a large 8 person tent and was pretty impressed on how well the heater kept the tent warm. With the temp outsite the tent in the lo 50's, I was very comfortable inside with just shorts & a t-shirt.



I did some investigation into the heater before I purchased it and one of the recomendations was to burn a tank of propane thru it before you really need to in order to get rid of an odor that seems to come from the new ones (in which it is a funky odor). I don't think you need to burn a whole tank, but maybe half a tank. I had a half a tank laying around so I used that and it seemed to work.



Another thing I noticed is they say it will use a whole bottle in about 8 hours. I would say maybe 7. If I started the heater around 9 PM around 4 - 4:30 it would start getting chilly in the tent because the heater ran out of gas. I would just quick change the bottle and start it back up and just go back to sleep. It does have a lower setting and it would have probably lasted longer if I would have set it on that.



One more thing I did before buying the heater I Googled catalytic Propane Heaters and was given a link to the Consumer Product Potection Agency investigation on propane heaters and I was very confident about putting this in a closed space and not worry about Carbon Monoxide.

 "Best personal heater I've ever owned. I value warmth like you value air." 2009-12-25
By Marcus T. Butler (Florence, MS)
I purchased this heater to use in a hunters blind. Superb. Does exactly what I needed it to do. Keeps me quite toasty. The smell people who purchase this refer to isnt that bad. I get the same smell from every heater I turn on after its been off awhile. Goes away quickly. Lights fast and easily. Turn it on, count to ten, then ignite it. First try every time. Also purchased the bag to carry it. It was worth the $15 I got it for. Holds two bottles too. Great products at great prices from great manufacturers. Coleman Sportcat is the best.

 "Works well, but not much heat..." 2009-11-10
By Rory Egan (Dana Point, Ca)
AS a hand warmer or just something to be close to you, this will work well. But it did not seem to help warm our tent by itself. I think if it is used with a second heater for tent heating, you may get better results. However I would recommend the larger heater made by Coleman if tent heating is what you are after and you have a larger area to warm. Otherwise, well built and does what it is supposed to, provide general warmth. I am keeping this around just because you never know when it will come in handy...

 "Great for camping" 2009-11-01
By Robert Carmichael
This Coleman heater is amazing. It did a great job of heating our pop-up camper. I really like the self lighting feature. If it lasts like my other Coleman gear I'll enjoy it for a long time.

 "Nice Little Heater" 2009-10-23
By Jeff Guenzel (Flanders, NJ USA)
This little heater is very nice. It is a lower output unit, so it has its limitations its power, but that is clearly noted in the description. I wanted a small heater that was lightweight enough that I could put it in my hiking pack for very cold nights to deal with the bitter cold. It can heat a moderate size tent well enough. I am very pleased. I agree with the advice of breaking it in and burning off the initial smell. It is an interesting smell at first.

 "a glorified hand warmer" 2009-10-21
By J. H. Voss III
All I can say this "heater" is Nothing more than a glorified hand warmer! Using a thermometer in my garage, this thing did NOT raise it up one degree.I even left it on all night and sealed up my garage tight and after 12 hours no change in temp. at all! This thing would only keep you warm only if you sat on it!

 "What a great idea!" 2008-11-24
By Miss Nancy
I got this gift for a friend because I hate the cold winter golf cart rides I used to suffer each year. We couldn't find a Coleman propane tank, so we used another brand. It didn't fit in the holder properly and fell over. But we tied up the holder with a bungee cord, and this little heater really works! It was 37 degrees outside, and a toasty 60 degrees inside with the cart enclosure zipped up. It's really a great idea for anyone who uses the golf cart as transportation in their community. Now I'm looking forward to those wonderful rides around the waterfront in heated comfort.

 "Died in the middle of the night and we froze" 2009-11-30
By Keith Johnson
I bought this heater as a tent heater for our cabin tent. We went camping in the mountains and pinned our hopes on this bugger to keep us warm. Around 1:00 am the propane ran out. Put in a new one in the "frozen tent" 2:00 am the batteries went dead. Brand new battery's were put in at 10:00 pm. Lasted 4 hours with the fan going. 3:00 am kids woke up frozen and wanted to go home. Put new batteries in and new propane at 3:30 am. Tent still frozen at 5:00 am. Decided to set up wood burner that came with tent even though it had never been used. Expected lots of smoke and choking kids but unbelievably the wood stove did not smoke and heated the tent up to about 70 degrees. Kids and spouse survived. Lesson learned. Do not depend on this Coleman heater to keep your tent warm at night.

 "Life saver in the Cold California Sierras!!" 2009-11-10
By Rory Egan (Dana Point, Ca)
I love this heater! Brought this along while tent camping in March in Yosemite Valley. There was still snow around the summits and in some low areas and in the nights the temp dropped into the low 20's and below. With this heater on from bed time till morning, it keep the tent an average of high 50's to mid 60's!! Our tent is a rather large tent too and it worked great (Tent = Sierra Designs, WuHu Annex 6+2)We were comfortable all night when it was on, a full canister lasts about 12-14 hours. Found out by waking up after the second night we used it and it was freezing in the tent. The canister ran out, just popped a new one in and turned it back on and was warmed up again in less than an hour. The built in fan is a very nice feature of this heater vs the other models by coleman, and had much to do with keeping the tent a even temperature. Takes two D batteries and the batteries will last a few days from my experience. Only knocked off a star becuase mine has had an issue with an internal clip coming loose a couple times. This was due in my view to the screen of the heater not being supported more directly by the metal bezel that you see in the photo. The heater screen just kinda floats in the bezel keeping it in place yet able to me jostled if dropped or bumped good. I'm a pretty handy guy and fixed this on my own... But I am confident that this will be in my essentials kit for many years to come and will work anytime I need it thanks to its simple and effective design.



Must note that you need to make sure you have the adequate ventilation if using this in an enclosed area like a tent... I can attest that if you do make sure you have the ventilation, you will be fine and need not to worry. I was worried the first time, but trusted in the facts and went by them.

 "Coleman ProCat" 2009-06-14
By CO Camper (Denver, Colorado)
We recently purchased a large tent (15x12) and needed a propane heater that could stand up to the task of keeping the inside of the tent comfortable on cold nights. We purchased two of the Coleman ProCats for this purpose and they worked absolutely beautifully! I was skeptical at first, preferring to keep warm with multiple sleeping layers, but gave in when my partner insisted. Now that we've used them, we won't camp again without having them with us. The battery operated fan made all the difference in the world when it came to dispersing the heat throughout the entire tent, even though the roof was completely mesh (with the fly elevated about 6" above it). Our heaters ran constantly on high for over 8 hours without giving up. Two hours before turning in for the night, my partner turned them on. By the time we went to bed around 11:00, temperatures outside were in the 30s, while inside the tent, it was comfortable enough to wear t-shirts. By morning, it was a little cooler, but still warm enough to not see your breath - an oddity in the Colorado mountains at 5:00 in the morning, for sure!



As is common sense, ALWAYS light the heaters outdoors or, at the very least, well away from the sides of tents or other flammable material, as they do emit a flame when first ignited.



Simply the best! We love you, Coleman! I've posted a photo from inside our tent.

 "good little heater" 2009-05-11
By J. Perry
I;ve owned this little heater for almost 2 years. Mainly use it in a small fiberglass travel trailer (18 footer similar to Scamp). Have used it several times in the mountains at 6,000 to 9,000 ft. with temps dipping to upper 20's. It really takes the chill off. Makes the little trailer seem almost warm though its really only in the lower 50's after running for some time. But heck, that beats a cold 28 degrees. The bottles last about like everyone says. I don't sleep through the night with it running but do turn it on a little while before getting up. Have also used it in a little workshop which was way bigger then my trailer. Did not do much good but it tried. Have probably ran it over 100 hrs with no problems. I like it and would recommend it.
