The flex was great the first year. Now we’re on year two with our flex and it has a problem going from pilot to on. We even had a fuel filter on and changed it for the new season and still it takes awhile a several attempts to keep it going. It’s acts like it’s not getting enough fuel but there is no way to clean the pilot like you can the big mr heater.
Hey! Definitely check out my latest video on the buddy flex. After some testing I had the similar issue. I had to remove the top, and bend the metal where the knob attaches back out! Works great now!
I'm using the little body for the first time out here in Michigan. Typically I drive a 2006 Ford Fusion and can't figure out what is wrong with my heat. I would think this video to hopefully figure out if it was safe to use in my car. Which it sounds like it is, but I'm still leaving the window cracked. One thing I noticed, it seemed to start defrosting my windows at first but then I couldn't tell whether it was fogging them up or no I sat with it running for about 10 minutes before starting to drive Hey and my defrost kind of takes the frost off on its own once I get up to sleep. Eat on the highway but once there's too much snow on the ground. I don't always get up to the point where my defrost will actually clear my windshield
The flex is kinda garbage in reliability, lots having trouble getting it started after 1 year, bad reviews past their initial out of box stuff... The big buddy however is where it's at. Great unit
