I had my Vevor 5kw ordered and shipped when you did your Wippro review. I wish I had seen your review before ordering my Vevor. I think if you bumped up the Wippro to the same heat output as the Vevor it will probably have the same watt and diesel consumption.
But since most of us have a problem with excessive heat output, the Wippro's Xlow setting is the winner. You can turn Wippro up if needed. You can't save the fuel or power with the Vevor when you need to open the windows. Thank you for the review. This is going to be a game changer on my Express. Ground mount this winter, weather cabinet on the LR door by next year. I still have to get over my phobia of cutting holes in the steel.
Great comparison video..... The only thing I don't like about both of them is the exhaust comes out of the bottom, and you have to build a base to raise the heaters up for exhaust clearance. Keep up the good work Thanks Jeff
Totally agree Jeff, I think they are trying to hit the broad audience of van life and trucker as well and that is why, I find it a pain. Thanks for watching
Another Excellent video! I will go with the Wippro.

Thanks so much for the comments. You can click the Amazon link in the description. That will help the channel. Thank you watching. Also, I just posted a video of camping with the WIPPRO, it worked great. Was cold outside and snowing
@@sherburnoutdoors Thank you sir ! We will watch that video now! Putting together a cargo “camper” and your information has been invaluable! I am purchasing the heater and the attachments you have shown in the video, today! And some DIESELLLL FUEL!! ( yea I know I’m being a kind of an ass but, for real?) 🤣 Keep the videos coming and that cool dog in the videos! Stay well and Happy New Year to you and your family 🎊
Great content, very useful info. Im a full time tent liver. I haven’t had a job in six months. I do have a 256wh ecoflow and a solar panel. Wippro seems best for me. Thanks for the video.
A Very well done review. You explained the pros of this heater, showed us what you were doing and why you changed what you changed. I am impressed with this heater. Hubby has been looking at them for a back-up heat source and YOU have done the best review we have ever seen. Thank You !!!!
Thanks for the comparison video. These are the two models I’m looking at so this is helpful and timely! I’ve read there’s a new WIPPRO model coming out soon so I’ll hold and see what that looks like. I also have the AC180 so it was great to see how it fared.
I have the new Wippro model. I have been trying it out. Very nice changes and it will go 51 hours now with an 8L tank. Also moved exaust to the side and intake to the back
So it seems like the Wippro has a lower, "LOW" setting resulting in lower fuel and power consumption but curious if that will ultimately result soot build up in the combustion chamber? It's my understanding that it's better for longevity of the heater if they are running at med to high settings for the majority of use?
Not medium or high setting but a leaner burn. Meaning higher fan speed. You can have the fuel pump on low (1.2Hz) but the fan on slightly higher than factory setting (about 2000RPM) That way it burns the fuel with more air which prevent sooting up the internals. It's a shame the new controllers seem hide the fan speed and pump frequency from the user but there might be a way to get to it in the settings. In any case, different controllers can be found on the internet.
@@sherburnoutdoors Hey Robert. I just subscribed. I enjoy the couple of videos i have watched so far. Looking forward to watching more of your content.
Thank you. Your videos are excellent and very informative and well put together. I'm trying to find a good heater for my chicken coop, and only need to run it during the night; any ideas for a timer for the best heater ?? 👍👍💛🐓🐓🐓🐓🌞
Thanks for doing this comparison, two things I would like to see is the temperature at the end of a 10 foot hose this would show the fan function of each unit, secondly I’m wondering how long these each would run on lead acid batteries of around 235-265 amp hours.
@gchacon 12 volts DC, on start up they consume about 150 watts and draw around 10 amps to fire the glow plug. Once running the current drops way down, On mine its about 0.5 amps on the lowest setting and 3 amps on the highest.
sir will this work in a green house where? where there is a lot of moisture. i have a green house with 10 mil plastic all over. I appreciate your help. thank you.
would be nice to see settings for fuel to air as that might be the reason the temps are hotter on vevor on the low test have you checked to see the actually fuel capacity of each tank ??
You are 100% right, unless you are able to set both units in frequency mode HZ to determine what pulse rate the pumps are supplying fuel and at what RPM the fan speed is set to you can't give a fair comparison on fuel consumption. Both set to "low" doesn't mean anything if one is delivering fuel at 1.4HZ 1450 rpm and the other is 1.7HZ 1650 rpm, further to that the dosing pumps could be totally different, they range from 16ml, 22ml or even 26ml. Good video overall but to be accurate and scientific all things must be equal when doing a comparison.
Thanks for the demo. Seems that both of them have a very noisy hot air fan. How hot does the heater hose get when using them. Got to be careful not ignite or damage damage tent or camper plastic that melt above 160
I have been really interested in diesel heaters but haven't figured out how to duct it onto my fifth wheel yet. I have 10.5kWh of lithium and 2000w of solar, so my furnace is the only thing left that is not electric. a dual ducted version would be great to have an intake from inside the rv and an outlet for connecting to the rv ducting. Ill have to see what my 3d printer skills can come up with.
@@koontzman123 they have new models coming that apparently they’re on the boat and will be there soon. I am testing one of them right now. I posted it short on it. It’s pretty awesome.
On low the Vevor lasted about 10% less than the wippro while running about 10% hotter, this may account for the difference. On high the vevor was cooler but ran longer. Also you didn't check the cfm of the fans, if one has a higher cfm than the other, this could account for the difference in amperage draw.
Can i get the names n serial numbers so i can get the same ones? And are they water proof cause of the exhaust? i want to get them to keep my dog warm during the winter
Question. Does anyone make a watt meter for 12 volts DC instead of 120 volts AC? It would be great if we could see total 12 volts DC watts used over time. Thank you in advance.
Inside the front end of the combustion tube on these heaters where the fuel and air mix together there is a stainless steel vaporising mesh. If you run on waste engine oil the contaminants in the oil will clog up the mesh with carbon deposits and eventually wreck the vaporiser mesh and stop the combustor from working. The design of these burners is specifically for efficient burning of lighter fuel oils such as diesel(32 second gas oil) or central heating oil(28 second oil sometimes known as kerosene)
Thinking of ordering a WIPPRO for my 2.5 car garage but there are two versions on Amazon. The one in this test and the skinny taller one. Can't seem to find what the difference between them is besides the price. Anyone know?
@@sherburnoutdoors awesome thanks! Any chance that you could recommend one of the two WIPPROs ahead of the video? Trying to order and receive before Christmas lol. Thanks in advance!
lower power need means the fan needs less power which is most probable because the fan on the Wippro spins slower. The problem is with a slower fan speed it burns more rich which cokes up the internals over time.
Use the 80% rule. You want your device to only draw 80% of the max output of the power supply. If you round the watt draw shown for high up to 35 watts, you would need at least a 50 watt 12 volt power supply. The good news is that converting the 110 to 12v DC is going to generate heat so it will help the heater heat the room.
Amazon lists the Wippro for about $AU500 and the Vevor is about $AU190. I guess the Wippro is a USA based distributor only, Wippro isn't listed on Aliexpress either.
Here is the cable I used. 12V 15A Heavy Duty Male to Male Cigarette Lighter Plug Charger Cord With LED Lights And Fuse Protection On Both Plugs a.co/d/5OkX8Rd
You can do this way easier. Usually the little pump inside pulls 0.022 ml/click. You just have to count the amount of clicks it gives in 1 minute and you can calculate how much fuel you will use. I'm sure you will come to the exact times you did in this video (without using all the fuel).
It would be extremely illogical to expect the Vevor branded unit to attain similar fuel consumption when it was producing so much more heat at it's "low" setting.. The actual value of a "low" setting is entirely discretionary. The Vevor unit might actually be more efficient with respect to BTU's produced per gallon of fuel.
Vevor is a giant POS!! I bought a new one, set it up and it overheated first use. called customer service, they sent me new parts. installed the parts, still overheated. removed cover and tried, overheated. I can only use at half heat setting which is 5 (0-10). overheats with cover off if i run it any warmer. several times the igniter stops working during use. After watching this video i ordered a Wippro. hopefully its better than the POS Vevor. Wouldnt recommend the vevor even if its your only option. JUNK JUNK JUNK
Since these share pretty much the same burner, and fuel pump, comparisons are kinda moot. If one uses less fuel, it puts out less heat. but nonetheless they are pretty efficient and good at what they do. I think Vevor buys from several suppliers as they have units in the same case with the same ratings at different pricing.
I am sorry, but I dont agree with your usage of "efficiency" at all. You seem to be using it instead of saying "consumption", which is what you tested. Pedantic some might say, but in that case I would disagree, since it totally changes the nature and outcome of the test. Lots of people in the comments seemingly have conflated it as well, likely leading to faulty conclusions. I dont see you testing the heating ability (taking a temperature reading the way you did also doesnt say necessarily say anything, sadly). Think about it, if you get 2kw unit, wrongly branded as a 5kw unit, with a slow moving fan and small heatsink of the burner, it would win this comparison easily, since the 2kw vs 5kw output consumes less fuel, and the heatsink that you measure the temperature of would heat up more with less area/mass and slower airflow over it. Cheers mate.
Physics: Energy can not be created or destroyed, but only changes form. The BTU's produced by each heater is the same; given the same amount of diesel.
Seems like a wasteful concept just to burn diesel to heat, running the same diesel through a generator would result in the same amount of heat but with the added benefit of power? Maybe? Your thoughts?
A diesel generator is the inefficient unit. Using diesel to throw away exhaust heat and wasting heat with cooling fins, having a generator that emits heat and finally produces electricity is more wasteful. Then there is the noise and exhaust smell to deal with. I have several Onan gen sets and several Chinese diesel heaters. When the diesel heaters are at operating temperature, there is almost no exhaust odor detectable. On a side note, I have a Chinese diesel heater operating right now that runs 24/7 and had exhaust heat recovery to maximize the efficiency. I can't imagine running a diesel engine at 2AM in this neighborhood.
Agreed, the appropriate technology hasn’t been applied to make it desirable, but application of teg cells to the waste heat of the unit could at least make it self powering. A kids lunch box size of thermal energy generator cells would be more than enough to cover the power consumption of the unit Indefinitely and provide power to the battery for reserve
@@travishodges5179 Mine runs on a home built LFP lithium battery and a used oversized solar panel that charges to 100% even on rainy days. You need power to start your unit on thermal cells and need voltage regulation.
Technically you can't legitimately speak of efficiency when you don't factor in all the data. Just because one runs longer on a gallon of fuel does not automatically mean it is more efficient when you fail to measure heat output properly or when you observe heat output difference between the 2 but then ignore it when you go to summarize efficiency between the 2. All that is probably happening is one puts out more heat on low than the other, and it does not mean it is more efficient it just means it is operating on a lower setting. In other words one has a lower low setting than the other, that is all that is happening mainly. Listen, if they both put out the SAME heat output on low but one runs longer on the same amount of fuel, then NOW you can legitimately claim efficiency is better on the one that used less fuel. Thanks for the information. I would prefer the lower low setting(the Wippro) because this way i can use it without having to cycle it on and off when i don't need that much heat, but can still flip to high if temps outside get colder.
both work good, but both a quite serious health hazard as they DO NOT COME WITH INSTRUCTIONS IN PROPER LANGUAGE, . many people died using these ,please be carefull
I'm sure you realize, but you should try to lose the "gas" comments. It's not gasoline, it's diesel fuel. Substitute fuel for gas. It's not gas, and you don't want to run gas in them.
You are not pointing your laser in the center of the Vevor if you were it would read 215 to 221 and that is 25 degrees hotter than the Wippro and the Vevro blows harder than the Wippro add those two thing together and that is a lot of BTU s more for 26 solid hrs.. Also if allege that the vevor uses more watts then why did you hook the Vevor to the old small power station. The only way to find out which one uses more power is hook it to the same power station. An Old burnt out tiny 500 watt power station is for 26 hrs is not a fair test. It would appear in the end it is all the same in BTU land . Both heater produce the same BTU s for the money in fuel.
No way I could deal with that annoying fuel pump ticking - Def not good for vanlife. You should do a SILVEL diesel heater comparison to vevor. My daughter has one in order (I tried to get her to get vevor) but just maybe I'll stay away from vevor simply because of that clicking.
Just came across the channel today and have already binged multiple videos. Really enjoying the content. Keep up the great work!

I am waiting delivery of the WIPPRO, amazon canada. I won't touch anything Vevor
Vevor just sent me the new Bluetooth version for 2023, review coming this week!
Technically you can't legitimately speak of efficiency when you don't factor in all the data. Just because one runs longer on a gallon of fuel does not automatically mean it is more efficient when you fail to measure heat output properly or when you observe heat output difference between the 2 but then ignore it when you go to summarize efficiency between the 2.
All that is probably happening is one puts out more heat on low than the other, and it does not mean it is more efficient it just means it is operating on a lower setting. In other words one has a lower low setting than the other, that is all that is happening mainly. Listen, if they both put out the SAME heat output on low but one runs longer on the same amount of fuel, then NOW you can legitimately claim efficiency is better on the one that used less fuel.
Thanks for the information. I would prefer the lower low setting(the Wippro) because this way i can use it without having to cycle it on and off when i don't need that much heat, but can still flip to high if temps outside get colder.
Efficiency. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
THEY DO NOT RUN ON GAS!
Someone somewhere is going to actually use gas. FML
both work good, but both a quite serious health hazard as they DO NOT COME WITH INSTRUCTIONS IN PROPER LANGUAGE, . many people died using these ,please be carefull
You keep saying gas, don't you mean diesel? Hopefully somebody doesn't try to use gas instead of diesel, Kabomb!!!!!
Yes, I mean Diesel
If they are that stupid, they deserve everything their stupidity gives them!
I'm sure you realize, but you should try to lose the "gas" comments. It's not gasoline, it's diesel fuel. Substitute fuel for gas. It's not gas, and you don't want to run gas in them.
We know there are people who might actually put "gas" in a diesel heater and play victim.
Exactly! I also have a pet peeve when people call trucks and suvs “cars”. 🤠
@@SaabAholic How about the people that call UTVs "cars". Ha
Haha!
Are you serious….
can buy 10 vevor to 1 wipro..... no brainer.....
You are not pointing your laser in the center of the Vevor if you were it would read 215 to 221 and that is 25 degrees hotter than the Wippro and the Vevro blows harder than the Wippro add those two thing together and that is a lot of BTU s more for 26 solid hrs.. Also if allege that the vevor uses more watts then why did you hook the Vevor to the old small power station. The only way to find out which one uses more power is hook it to the same power station. An Old burnt out tiny 500 watt power station is for 26 hrs is not a fair test. It would appear in the end it is all the same in BTU land . Both heater produce the same BTU s for the money in fuel.
No way I could deal with that annoying fuel pump ticking - Def not good for vanlife. You should do a SILVEL diesel heater comparison to vevor. My daughter has one in order (I tried to get her to get vevor) but just maybe I'll stay away from vevor simply because of that clicking.
