THE OVERPRICED "OVERLAND" DIESEL HEATER KILLER 

I have the vevor all in one vertical unit and it has been great. The only issue i have is i use it sitting outside my van so i had to jury rig some weatherproofing for it for rain and snow. My goal is to mount it on the side of my van, in a waterproof box but when I saw these, I thought it was already done for me. Sadly, I emailed them to confirm it being weatherproof and they told me it is not. So, I still have to make my own box to mount mine in.

I just bought one of these a few weeks ago and it is best bang for buck for a plug and play set up. works great!

Dude I’ve been planing to build this style for a while just wasn’t set on which Chinese heater to go with. I’m loving this!

Excellent video! That really does look like a pretty nice setup. I definitely wouldn't have expected that price point. Looks like a pretty good deal.

Looks like with the case opened in the top left that plastic chamber is disconnected at the bottom. To the left of the label at 8:25. May take a look at it.

This almost identical to the $350 heater from 4x4 Colorado. Thanks for posting this 🤙

I have a Vivor 5kw red unit in my garden cabin, and, like you said, I had to raise it so as to bring out the exhaust. Not a problem for me. It works perfectly. But this new one seems like a second generation "new and improved" version. Yes the exhaust port on the side IS a good idea The case with a handle is nice. It should sell well for $200

Great video. I have the other toolbox style HCalory but this one checks all the boxes except for the green fuel line which might kink. I purchased the one you have as well and relegated my other one as a backup.

Just got this cost me £110.00 for the bluetooth version absolutely outstanding delivery time .was told 9 days it arrived in 3days ,packing was like fort knox to get into was double boxed ,no damage what so ever only thing I can say bad about it is the fuel hose ,which i switched out for the white riggid 3mm fuel line was up and running in under 5 minutes

I'm also using the hcalory product, and it's so good. More than anything, there's a lot of noise.

I just bought all the parts needed to put my current diesel heater (just like yours) into a pelican style case... wish I had seen this as it'd have saved a lot of time and possibly money. Keep us updated on how it works out.

This is a great find, thanks for passing the info along.

I would be a 100% sold if the Box was a little bit bigger so the air intake and fuel tank could live inside and it was more ready to go

SOLD! YA just the transportation part and the exhaust design is a game changer. As you know with your other one. What a pain to hook up the exhaust and put the clamp on. I can only do mine from the tire side. Then I put my hole unit in a rubber tote for traveling. Thank you! Used your link once it comes back in stock so you get those Amazon bucks back. 🙂 Got any content coming up from the Expo East? Ty Mark (& Teresa)

Good review and you convinced me to buy. It seems that it no longer available for $200 and it appears that the only place it is for sale is Banggood. I just now, today, bought the bluetooth version for $350 and if it works out of the box, it's a bargain in my book. Now I have to wait a month for shipping.

The reason people build there own is so it can be left out in the rain or snow that unit can not be left out and will need to be covered if it's raining.

Yeah I just checked Amazon don't know when they're going to come back and the other site the heater site they're 299 so if they do come back to Amazon they'll probably raise their price so it's just best to order it from their site it's still a good deal cuz if you put one together like I did you'll have over $300 into everything if you build it like this unit is the only thing is I can't find if it has a regular thermostat where you can set it say like at 68°, mine the only way I can adjust the temperature is by opening my windows to get the right temperature I like if I close the windows on the lowest setting one setting below number one it's still too hot and my fifth wheel so I have to open up Windows to make the temperature right so if you can find out if it has that kind of a thermostat please advise and very nice video

Is the display waterproof? What happens when it rains/snows?

No wonder Hcalory is grateful for this video! Hcalory did a good job trying to avoid some stupid errors Vevor made when boxing the heater and other parts in the red steel box. But Hcalory uses the same basic China produced essential parts as Vevor (burner, pump, display, software, tubing a.s.o.) so the additional price is primarily for the box and the improved manual. Thanks for the video though. It will challenge the Vevor guys to improve their setup.

They’re a bargain. I paid $167 for mine. Some people are paying $200+ just for the pelican case.

9:20 the pump is mounted wrong, very wrong. There will be bubbles that would cause the piston to wear out on the top side. There is a reason why the pumps must be mounted in vertical position, maximum angle 35 or 45° (differs between manufacturers).

I wish they made a 2kw version like this

Can you do an update video when you take it out camping? I would like to know how well it did and what temperature you camped in, and how long your ran it for. I’d appreciate it thank you!

What about electrical requirements? Is that only to start the unit or does it need constant electricity to run and how many watts?

the pump seems to be mounted horizontal, which is a no no

The exhaust is badly insulated on these units, until this is sorted out, the thing is a fire hazzard.

Is it ok to have that pump not at an angle that Chinese heaters instructions tell you to angle it at?

This is exciting! Have you made a video of using with your tent?

You got to get rid of that crappy green fuel line! That will go bad less than a year.. you need the hard white plastic line, And use rubber line between connections

Hey brother, quick question for you. I just purchased this heater along with a jackery 880 and it will not start using the jackery 880. I was wondering what you used as your power source. Thanks!

Can we get a 1 year update on this? Also how do you power this unit in the field?

The problem with this design is the fuel line being exposed on the exterior of the box. If that is bumped or snagged you could end up having diesel fuel all over your vehicle.

I see so many people tying to make a portable model installed in one of those plastic cases and most of them are just an abortion and will probably melt of start a fire! This unit has some thought into it and the price isn't too bad if you can still get one off Amazon. One thing I see is they still come with that shitty cheap green fuel line which should be replaced before using the unit. It's dangerous! The intake hose still comes with that crappy muffler (no it's not an air filter) and actually needs an air filter to keep the intake air clean.

Great video! how is it still holding up? Seeing some reviews on Amazon of them coming in cracked makes me hesitant to get this one.

Most of these diesel heaters can be mounted on their side - so the exhaust etc goes right out the side of the case. I wonder why Hcalory does just do that.

Great unit but only took a video and review for them to go up in price $350 is u can find it

Yeah uou can snag it alot cheaper but whats the quality of use over time when it strts to fail i bought the 3d printed stuff cause i actually got the the real espar unit

How’s it holding up 1 year later?

Hey! Big bro! Hcalory official is here!😜 Thank you so much for the honest review!😍 The video is very detailed and professional, may I repost your video to our social media platform?🤓 We want more people to see and enjoy our great videos and products!🥳

HELLO GEORGE ❤

What PS are you using to power this unit?

tripod please. Shaky fisheye footage is distracting. Otherwise good info.

that looks like a really good choice ready to go! What flexible hose have you found to be the best for the hot air outlet?

This same unit was on sale for $100 two weeks ago…

Can this warm 144 square feet (11 x 12) tent? Also, how long does this one last?

nice, what / how are you powering this with? straight to a battery or your bluetti?

1 year later. How's it doing?

Also what air duct do you use to reach all the way into your tent?

Wish you would have put in a link for that new boxed heater!

what did you plug it into for power?!

i had no choice to buy the Vevor heater as the Hcalory has been unavailable for a while, I'm sure everyone is buying it.

cant find the new video, whats it called?

Same as the other unit. Just a different case.

think the price will drop again? It's been hovering around 300

@Nemesis5Zero what do you use this unit on? I'm looking for a heater for my mom's 5th wheel trailer. She had a hard time last winter I'm want to find one that can help her during that time.

diesel heaters should not cost a lot. It's just manufacturers taking advantage of the demand.

I'm heading on a 2 night trip to Zion this Saturday and I just received this diesel heater. I don't have enough time to do a proper test of how long this would last on 5L tank and a 576WH Ecoflow. How long do you think I'd be able to run the diesel heater before running out of power/fuel?

How waterproof is it? I was thinking about this but I would be leaving it outside and It snows a lot in my region. I’m afraid to leave it and have two feet of snow on top of it in the morning.

thanks for the video its does look better than the others but in Canada i could not find it for order and the usa site is 299$ usd which is over 500$CDN tax and duty's easy so i opted for a 5KW from vevor on black Friday for 152$ tax and shipping included it will need a revamp but i am ok fixing others genius ideas to or not to do something i am use to it, trust you and your eyes and hands! If you have a link to that controller i would consider it do you have a link to where i could get the controller? Cheers

Most of these units are 5 kw. But I keep seeing 8 kilowatt. Would eight kilowatt produce more heat for a larger space? I guess I just don't know the difference and I get confused every time I watch these videos. Any thoughts? Thank you

Hcalory is charging $300 on their site now

perfect setup, drawing the exhaust gas straight back into the ducted hot air.......hope your co monitor is working

Do you have any ''plastic smell'' coming from the air dutc(coming from inside the heater)???...like if you put the air dutc right up your nose does it smell something?

Can this be out side in the rain

I ordered two of them

Is it waterproof, is there a way to make it easily waterproof ?

seems like its about 300$ now :( hope amazon brings it back for 200$ soon

How about the shipping process fast or slow.. Thanks for your help

Did you go with the bluetooth model? If not, does the provided remote work well?

No longer available from amazon

Great video, do you have the link to where you purchased this

How difficult is it to remove the heater from the case to service it?

really dont like that exposed fuel line. Looks like a prime candidate for a bad accident.

Price on Amazon is $289.00

What are you using for ducting into your RTT?

Updates?

Not a fan fuel exhaust and heat on the same side, deal breaker

Did they pay you to make this video? Or did you make that case by yourself? You can see that it is exact same chinese made heater stucked inside of that case. And outlet port is pulled mostly out so that it would fit on that case. Ridicoulos advert.

I paid $65 for mine

Does this heater have a smell to it?

it just looks like someone just mounted a chinese heater in a pelican case end then jacked up the price. no thank you.

Hmmm....this is a 5 kw. Wish they had a 2kw version.

Same heater different case.

$175 as of 11/18/2023

They don’t sell it to Canada…what a BS company lol doesn’t sell the heater to the coldest country…seems like a bad business decision

Those are the worst heaters on the market! If your getting a cheap one go vevor

I would never buy the Chinese crap, unless you know what you’re doing to keep these things running and how to tune them. It’s a waste of money you’ll wind up buying the more expensive ones which they’re not made in China FYI.

I Do Not Agree. This Is Not An "All In One" Solution. Maybe A Couple Of Folks Might Like It, A Game Changer?? Not Really.

Why will they not deliver to Canada?

It's going to be real handy when we run out of diesel.

You must be rich or something lots of stuff laying around

It seems you just want a cool heater when in fact the all in one's are built good

Its the same cheap chinese heater just in a box you could of made that cheap !

WELL ITS IN UK GOOD FROM UK EUROPE OLSO FROM CHINA I LOVE DEAM PRODUCT :))
