Thanks for the great test about consumption. It also confirms my statement of max. 4Ah consumption for the fan at full power. 5 liters of diesel for 10 hours tells me that is a 5kW heater. 1 liter of diesel = 9.7 kWh of energy In our case the heating runs at a maximum of level 5 and in a 6 meter Ford Transit without insulation (glass windows) that is warm enough to sleep on. We have installed an additional 60 liter tank for the heating in our bus (legal situation in Europe), so we can always get through the cold evenings in France and the Alps safely for 14 days. Greetings from Praha Georg
Just bought the 8kw. I have had the vevor 5 kw for two years and loved it but had to have the bluetooth for the rooftop tent. I may be charging a monimal fee to my freinds when we are camping if they want to tee off and have some heat overnight...
Hello! I'm writing to you from Central Europe and have the same device, just the slim version. To counteract the blackout or short circuit problem, I installed a 14Ah motorcycle battery in the workshop heater. The battery is charged via a 24V/5A power supply and a PWM solar charge controller (< 10 euros). If the power goes out, the heater will continue to run until the heater no longer receives enough power and switches off in a controlled manner. During the starting process, the 14Ah is enough and when the heater is in operation, only the fan requires power and this draws a maximum of 4A from the battery. Then the glow plug no longer works. Diesel = self-ignition
I totally enjoy watching your videos about diesel heaters,very informative! A question I have is,you also did a great video on the Wippro . Do you have a favorite as far as performance between the Vevor and the Wippro? Are they both good performers? Thank you for the great tips.
Sorry! After seeing Hcalory diesel heater. It's superb over the vevor. Both the intake and exhaust don't come from the bottom. Bluetooth seems to be better too.😊
Nice review, I just got the exact same unit but 8k which I found out that I just overpaid for a 5k with a 8k sticker😂 After 3 nights at between -5 to -10c, I got 12 hours on a full to the top tank of diesel running at setting 4 in my tent 2 nights in a row. Diesel is $2/L in Canada now so 10$ a night. These are not cheap to run, propane and electricity are cheaper here. I think I will try a 4"hose with a wider air adapter on the end, I find the stream of warm air is very narrow and tends to heat up only precise parts of my tent that it is directed. The units remote and especially Bluetooth work great and the unit runs perfect so far just wish is was more economical to use. I also made a cover out out a plastic bin with holes cut out for intake and outtake and slot for exhaust. It keeps the unit about 10 degrees warmer, cuts down the ticking to can barely hear it, keeps it protect from the elements then just flip it over and it becomes the storage carrying case.
Can anyone tell me if it does a complete shut down when it reaches temp or is there an option for it (like most others) to have it stay on and go to low?
Looking at this exact unit. I'd love to see how many watts it pulls with the glow plug pulling max power. Looking forward to your next video where you test this out!
So is the red one the same as this newer orange one? I mean, I know the orange one is newer but what's better with the orange one? Is it because it has the extra feature of wifi to use with the app they now offer and also the remote? Thanx
You ever have problems with the Bluetti starting these heaters? I have two Bluetti power stations and neither will start these diesel heaters. They require 12v 15A and the Bluetti car outlets are only 12v 10a rated.
Hi Robert. Ordered the Wippro following your review but the new Vevor with bluetooth would be handy. The Wippro without bluetooth is near double the price here in Canada vs the Vevor, but the Vevor still has the fuel pump ticking (which would be annoying) and after the review a higher fuel consumption. Are you aware if there are fuel pumps available that don't tick and could be swapped out also If you were to buy one diesel heater which would it be? Appreciate your vids, thanks Ward.
Was just about to ask Robert the same question. Wippro is $339CAD but might be the better choice overall unless the newer Vevor ($189CAD) is just as "quiet" 😎
To be 100% honest, the WIPPRO is significantly quieter, significantly. It does not need a upgraded quieter pump, I do think the Vevor one does, it was loud
Have you ever had lack of power (E-02 Code) or problems with insufficient supply from the 12V/10A supply off the Bluetti? I tried their AC70 with an aftermarket 12Volt 16Gage wires but perhaps being 6’ long there was too much resistance?
This is what I'm wondering. I remember hearing that most of the power drawn is from startup. After it is running it does not draw much power. I know I am going to purchase the vevor heater. But I'm in the market for a power device. What do you guys recommend?
@@sherburnoutdoors thank you. I just bought one and it came in yesterday. The first few times I started it it would heat up then shut down. Now it’s running great. The only thing is when it shuts down completely it also shuts the 12v off and I have to pull the plug and plug it back in again. My other diesel heater didn’t do that. I use the EcoFlow. Any idea why it’s doing that?
Thanks for the great test about consumption.

Great info, caused me to think a bit :). Thanks for watching
you can change it from C to F in the menu and much more.
also auto on/off

I may have to pick up one for the wife, I love my WIPRO heater it is hard to beat
Mobile app is nice, thanks for watching
So does everyone else love Wippro. out of stock...
Thanks for the help just ordered one can't wait to try it out

Thanks for the feedback, they both perform the same pretty much but the WIPPRO is significantly quieter
Thank you, I assumed that from the video you did.
Thanks for the review, can you tell me if I set up a time to kick in the heater with the app? Like before I get up the bed ? :)
Go Dawgs!!!!
Sorry! After seeing Hcalory diesel heater. It's superb over the vevor.
Both the intake and exhaust don't come from the bottom. Bluetooth seems to be better too.😊
I need to check Hcalory, I have been hearing good things and I agree on the intake and exhaust coming out of the bottom
I'm wondering if a quieter pump would change these results much? just bought the 8K unit. Wippro sold out...
Excellent testing.
Thanks for your video. Q. You mentioned that you wouldn't use the diesel heater in your garage area. Why is that?
They need to exhaust outside

1.3 Gallon could be imperial (Canadian) which is a larger capacity than a US gallon. Metric litres converted to Imperial Gallons is more!
I think you are right on that one! Thanks for watching
Also it uses Celsius. a European and Canadian calculation of temperature. Makes sense of the Litre-Imperial fuel measurements.
Can anyone tell me if it does a complete shut down when it reaches temp or is there an option for it (like most others) to have it stay on and go to low?
I believe the 1.3 gallon capacity is the tank plus fuel line?
That fuel line is pretty short
@@sherburnoutdoors It's probably also in Imperial gallons which is 1.2 to 1 American gallon.

135-140w, thanks for watching

The only difference I saw was the app, is still a bit loud
You ever have problems with the Bluetti starting these heaters? I have two Bluetti power stations and neither will start these diesel heaters. They require 12v 15A and the Bluetti car outlets are only 12v 10a rated.
Never had an issue
Any possibility of putting that quiet fuel pump on this heater?
I was thinking about that
Anybody know if you can retrofit an older model with the upgraded Bluetooth controller?
what kw do you recommend for RTT use? is 8kw too much?
5 or less for RTT

No, I have never gotten the lack of power code. I also use a 16ft wire

Hi, what is the maximum distance that the Bluetooth app will work from
98 Ft
The timer does not set, please help ;)
-40 * c is -40* Fahrenheit , not -104!

Thank you, really appreciate you watching
What’s the app name to download?
Airheater ble

Mine loses time. One hour every three days.
CO not CO2.
The other model that ran 30 hours and less wattage is attractive
Was the Wippro 5Kw, link in description. Thanks for watching
