- Stay warm this winter with the Milwaukee M18 Propane Forced Air Propane Heater. Set your power level from 30,000 to 70,000 BTU. Fueled by propane and the M18 Milwaukee 18V battery powers the fan, controls, and ignition. You can also remove the 18-volt battery and use a standard extension cord. You get about 8-hours runtime from a 20-lb propane cylinder, with the heater on low. The Milwaukee 0801-20 M18 Propane Heater comes with the heater and a 10-foot hose and regulator. You need to supply the propane cylinder and electric power (M18 battery or 120V extension cord). This was included in our Christmas Gift Guide this year. #milwaukeetool #heater #review

One pound of propane contains 21,548 BTUs.
So in a cylinder: 21.5k * 15 lbs = 322k btu,
and then 322k / 70k = 4.6 hours on high or 322k / 30k = 10.7 hours on low.
It's worth noting that kerosene is nearly 1.5 times as energy dense as propane, which usually makes it the cheaper option. Even with a slightly higher price per gallon.
Exactly!!!!!!!!! Kerosene still cheaper and jt runs at 80k btu's this thing is a gas pig guzzler
Definitely going to buy one of these! I've been waiting for this since I first seen the DeWalt version!!
Yes please make that tool. I love that compactness.
This lil' red torpedo is awesome. Thanks for highlighting it, Tim. Stay warm out there in FL; it got downright chilly there for a minute! Cheers!
p.s. That lil' RIGID gizmo is the bees knees.
Thank you and we will try to stay warm. We love that lil’ Ridgid.
Masterforce has one of these and I bought one a year ago. It works great.
I wish they made that little hand held impact screwdriver you have there. Would love it!
Thanks for the video and review brother. I like that it is compact. Sure beats those kerosene fueled heaters. I have one that is probably 25 plus years old, 3' long. With the cost of Kerosene now days it gets expensive to operate.
Those kerosene heaters kicked butt, but they stunk, and they went through fuel pretty quick.
Nice review, Thanks for sharing!
Pretty cool!
I've got the Ridgid version..I've had it 6-7 years.. still works great.. Use it everyday in my garage during winter...
9:13.. you don't need to hold the ignition the whole time it's clicking.. just a few seconds..it will continue to click for 30 seconds after it is running. Doesn't hurt anything 👍
Yep, that’s a good one too
Any valve especially water is good to tighten a little after open to save wear and tear on the oring.
Thank you! Been waiting for this one! Purchased the Ryobi a few weeks ago as I couldn't find the Milwaukee at the time. One thing I can say is the controls being ON TOP of the unit is worth the extra $$$ hands down. Getting down to floor level to adjust or fire up the Ryobi is a pain. With that being said, that one is only 60k BTU and this one 70k. Will I notice a difference between that alone and is it worth returning the Ryobi for the Milwaukee? Not using any battery just plugging it in so not caring to much about that portion.
The Ryobi is almost identical to the Ridgid
We have 4 of them as the first two had a thermocouples issue-Ridgidnsent two replacements and havn't had issues
We put two after market thermocuolers on the older ones and they now all work great
Milwaukee pisses me off with the all battery power tools when hybrids are possible and more useful
They have been replaced by Metabo HPT in many applications cuz of the great 36V line giving great performance, warrantee and AC adapter capability at better prices
OH YEAH I BOUGHT THIS A FEW WEEKS AGO AND I CAN SAY FOR ITS SIZE IT PUTS OUT A GOOD BIT OF HEAT. HEATS UP MY 420 SQ FT GARAGE/WORKSHOP FROM 30 DEGREES TO 70 PLUS IN ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES THEN I PUT IT ON LOW AND IT STAYS AROUND 70. A DEFINITE GREAT BUY.
That’s great to hear. Thank you for sharing.
I TALK LOUDLY WHEN IM NERVOUS.
How long does a propane tank last
@shanerogers787 It all depends if you have it on high the whole time you might get 5-6 hrs on a 20 lb tank. I use a 40 gallon, and I've ran it for at least 10 hrs, and I still have about a ⅓ of a tank but I use it in my insulated garage gets up to about 68 - 70 degrees quickly and then I put it on low the rest of the time and it stays warm
Thank you Tim! Do you know if this is safe to use in an enclosed space? Like a garage? I might install a 240v garage heater, but this might do the trick as well.
Ventilate!!
@@wurlabyscott ok thank you! I will get a 240v heater installed as it is safer and less prone to kids getting in trouble.
YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO HAVE SOME VENTILATION FOR THIS. I HAVE A SIDE DOOR WITH A SCREEN I LEAVE CRACKED OPEN. OR YOU HAVE TO GO WITH A VENTLESS PROPANE HEATER BLUE FLAME I HAVE USED THOSE OVER THE YEARS ANS STILL DO.
It should be safe with some ventilation or outside air, but make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector in there.
Question as it's not clear anywhere, will this heater work as a normal heater WITHOUT propane when plugged into the wall?
No it’s a propane heater. Not a electric heater.
Got the Dewalt version and love it, a 10 lb tank for more portability and yes obviously less run time
What is the CFM’s on the fan
yes dam milwaukee needs to step up the drill game. a palm drill like that would be nice and they need to update the dam m12 right angle drill lets get it in fuel and 1/2 chuck
You should do a reel test like put it in a cold shop or shed and see how long it takes to warm them up and see how long it runs. Thats a real test and it will let consumers know if its worth the money?
That's nice but wish They Make one With a tank attached on the bottom. That you could run kerosene or Diesel through
I thank milwaukee should make a little battery screw driver.
Looks like a nice unit. I wish they had put in a carbon monoxide shutoff like some generators have because let's face it people are dumb and will absolutely poison themselves given the chance. Anyone buying this needs to pair that purchase with a carbon monoxide sensor. A nice one costs $50 and will save lives.
That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw this. Where are the spent fumes going?
This heater concept has been around for decades. I was using these in the 70’s. If it were dangerous, it would be off the market…
Carbon monoxide is the product of incomplete combustion. This combustion is total and only produces CO2.
Please bring back the r8224 or whatever it is…. To be honest when Ridgid discontinued it I thought there was going to be an M2 version released and with rigids 12 V line being completely dead. It’d be nice for Milwaukee to step up and do the right thing For their orange brother ya know tti’s redheaded step child 😂 I just wished Emerson didn’t own the Ridgid power tool division as TTI would without question dump more R&D into the brand and release more tools. I have always had a liking for Ridgid for some reason. The octane line was great the 3ah octane batteries are still in the upper echelon of power tool batteries, may not be the stacked tabless packs but the 21700s do quite well and the 3ah form factor was on point then even bluetooth cycle count etc just a great pack and to be discontinued and still be competitive at minimum shows something was wright with that line not to mention the r86212 may have been the model idk it’s been a minute but that high torque was a monster for its time
The fan doesnt blow into the combustion area haha. It blows around the shell
I'll wait for the next gen til they add an auto on/off when it reaches a desired temp.
Unlikely that it will ever happen. This design has been out for sometime and having a pilot light constantly running is the design that manufacturers use (Flame King) and it just doesn't work well.
wish you would measure the noise
I gotcha man. My Ryobi one 24" in front of it, 18" above it, closed garage. Full blast 66.8db. 50% it was 62.1 and all the way down 58.9db. Pretty quiet honestly. Can't imagine the Milwaukee is much louder. All these new cordless forced air heaters are pretty much the same.
Again Mikeaukee let us down again by making this a battery only
We have the Ridgid version which is hybrid and the exact copy Ryobi which went for $149
Unfortunalty the Ridgid had thermocupler issues on first version but Ridgid replaced them so I have 4 units as Ridgid sent me two new ones and let me keep the old units
We put an aftemarket thermocoupler and they work great
It's not battery option only. It is a hybrid meaning it has a corded option to plug in. The battery just makes it convenient for portability.
@@ranchlife8128yeah best I watch the whole video-the early description on HD site didn't mention AC
That's what I went by
@@baseballdude8491I understand and I didn't watch the whole video either, so not sure if he mentions it or not. 19 minutes for a review is too much imho.
Ridgid is a seasonal brand selling seasonal items, except drills, lights, impacts and vaccum the rest are seasonal. See this heater, cordless compressor, 12v line, cordless miter saw, light stand, job site stand and more.....it is ridiculous when one item has low sale then they cut it....and where is cordless table saw? Also Ridgid pro battery cannot use on regular power tools, the brand has bipolar personality, I am looking for propress but battery is not compatible and adapter is not perfect solution. I am a long term Ridgid user, some how we adapt to what they offer because of SLA?
The new Ryobi is basically an upgraded copy of the Ridgid unit
The Ridgids had trouble.with the thermocuolers
I had two of them replaced by LSA
I tried to buy it at Home Depot a week ago, they had 7 in stock on line an hour later no one in the store could find it. I was forced to buy a Mr heater and it's total junk!!
That stinks. That seems odd.
Same thing happened to be so I settled for the Ryobi. Always says one or two in stock but no one can find them.
@@stevenritley4610the Ryobi is.the same u it with a few updates of the Ridgid
Nice.thing is they are both bybrid
Milwaukee pisses me off.with their non hybrid tools when they could be
I saw 3 of em at my local ACE but they are priced at $299
Hell no
I can get two Ridgid/Ryobis for that and my older Ridgid just kept my well from freezing when lost power for day and a half-6ah high output Battery lasted over 20 hours for fan(couldn't believe it)
Buy the dewalt it's a American company Milwaukee is a Chinese company
Glad you said that
Eff the CCP!!
Thanks man
They're both American companies and both outsource to China 🤡
Dewalt is literally also manufactured in China. Do a bit of research. Plus the dewalt one is trash imo. Had a couple before I got tired of them crapping out within months. Switched to this exact Milwaukee and never looked back. But hey get whatever makes you happy I guess. To each their own
@@ginseng.7888 The key word manufactured not owned Milwaukee is Chinese company now every dime goes back to China keep supporting China traitor
@ginseng.7888 The dewalt is far superior have for 5 years nothing wrong and it gets used a lot the Milwaukee will last maybe a year like all their slave made products why do you think their products don't last they have slave labor making their tools you really think a slave is going to make a good product
