As a long-time road traveler, I’ve used a lot of brands of diesel heaters. Among them, I love the HCALORY the most, as it is of good quality and affordable. Recently, HCALORY has published a new model — HCALORY HBH1S, which is a horizontal diesel heater. When I heard about this new diesel air heater, I had to take a closer look at its features. To help you know HBH1S, I write this post. Now, scroll down to learn more details.
HCALORY HBH1S Review
HCALORY HBH1S All-in-one Diesel Air Heater: Compact & Easy to Install
Every component is available, so it is all ready to go right out of the box. The kit includes the HCALORY HBH1S main unit, a remote control, an AC power adapter, a silencer, an exhaust hose, a set of screws, and a user manual. It is a compact horizontal diesel heater with dimensions of 18.5 x 16.1 x 11.8 inches, so that you can easily fit it into tight spaces.
How is the HCALORY HBH1S Diesel Heater? If you’re wondering if this heater is worth it, my answer is a definite yes. The performance of this unit blew me away. See how it is!
Rapid Heating & Efficiency: Save a Big Deal
With a powerful 5-8KW output, the HBH1S can quickly heat a space of up to 269 sq. ft. I was shocked at how fast it works–it gets from a chilly 0°C to a toasty 50°C in just 3 minutes. With such rapid heating, you can turn it on before getting in the car, and your car will warm up quickly, so you won’t have to bear the cold anymore. What’s more, HCALORY claims that it boosts efficiency by 18%. With a fuel consumption rate as low as 0.12 L/h, the 5L tank lasts for days. Such low consumption would help you save a lot.
Smart and Convenient Controls: A Good Helper for the Lazy
Smart tech makes our lives convenient. HCALORY HBH1S supports 3 control ways. Like the traditional diesel heater, this HCALORY diesel air heater can be controlled on the panel. It also supports the remote control, which is included in the package, supporting 30 meters. What makes me satisfied is the HCALORY App control. Because I can not only turn or off HBH1S on my smartphone, but also set the temperature and timing. When camping, you lie on a warm sleeping bag, and I believe you are also unwilling to get out of your cozy bag just to adjust the temperature. Now, HCALORY HBH1S supporting HCALORY App control would give you a big help!
Supporting Run on Low Temperature: Your Reliable Partner
I’ve been driving in eastern Oregon’s high desert in Winter, while the heater can’t handle it, so my plan was lost. After that, I always put the operating temperature range first when I choose the diesel air heater. The HBH1S is built to operate in ambient temperatures from -40°C to 40°C. That’s an impressive range that gives me the confidence to take it anywhere, from freezing mountain passes to chilly desert nights. What is more, with robust build and versatile power options (12V/24V DC or 100~240V AC), it can not only run in the car but also work at home. So it is not only a parking diesel heater, but a backup diesel heater for the house. If power outages occur frequently in your area, it is necessary to prepare a backup diesel heater that can be used in a power outage.
Thoughtful Design Features The included 1.5-meter extension cable for the control panel is a brilliant touch. It lets me mount the panel inside my cab for easy access, so I don’t have to reach outside to adjust the settings. What is important is that the Indoor Climate Control sensor also means the heater intelligently cycles on and off as needed, maintaining a consistent temperature. This not only keeps things comfortable but also helps me conserve fuel, which is a big win for my wallet.
