The DEWALT DXH170FAVT is a 170,000 BTU forced air propane heater designed to warm large, well-ventilated spaces like construction sites, warehouses, barns, and workshops. With a built-in thermostat, you can set your desired temperature and let the heater do the rest. The variable heat output lets you adjust the flame to match conditions, and the continuous ignition system ensures easy startup every time.
Turn the thermostat dial to the temperature you want. The heater will automatically cycle on and off to maintain that temperature. The thermo-electric safety valve cuts off gas flow if the flame goes out, and the high-temperature limit switch provides an extra layer of protection.

This heater warmed my 30x40 shop from 40 to 60 degrees in no time. It has a thermostat which is nice. The fan is a little loud, but that's expected.
I've used forced air heaters for years, and this one is the best yet. It starts right up in cold weather. The variable output means it doesn't waste propane when the shop is already warm. The thermostat is accurate. I used it to cure paint in my workshop, and it got to temp fast. Only downside is it's loud, but all forced air heaters are. It's built like a tank.
Heats up quickly, but it's a beast to move around. I put wheels on it. Good value though.
I bought this to heat my garage during the winter. It works well, but the fuel line is a bit stiff. I had a small issue with the ignition not starting on the first try, but it's been reliable since. It consumes propane faster than my old unit, but it also puts out more heat. The thermostat is helpful. Overall, I'd recommend it.
It's powerful, but you need a big area. In my two-car garage, it gets too stuffy and trips the CO detector. Runs well though.
