 Satisfactory device. February 16, 2007

For my old tractor, with no room in the water jacket for a freeze plug heater, this is an excellent solution. The magnet is powerful enough that you feel secure leaving it attached for a while unattended, and it transfers the heat to the oil and metal more effectively than a dipstick heater, which has very little surface area. The nice thing about attaching this device to the bottom of the part you want heated is that any heat that escapes flows up and around the part it's stuck to.
It's NOT just a small engine heater March 29, 2008

I've used this heater for the past year in Northern Wisconsin, where the weather can go to fifty below. Just put it on the oil pan and plug it in. It maintains sufficient warmth and oil viscosity to start the engine the next morning despite the cold.
I bought the smaller one and it's worked great. If I had one complaint it's that, while the unit functions in extreme weather, the electric cord insulation cracked due to constant use in sub-zero weather. I will replace that, since this unit is indispensable to someone living in a very cold area.
I have a specialized engine block heater in one of my cars and have used this unit on the others. It functioned as well as the engine block heater, despite it's small size.
I would highly recommend this unit. The magnet is plenty strong to attach firmly to a flat metal surface and the small size is actually an advantage when sliding it beneath the engine to attach it.

Very good product and extremely great price. Use it on my boat engine during storage in the winter. Keeps manifolds from freezing and water pump the same. I put one on my well holding tank as well.
excellent product February 1, 2008

I use this device to preheat the hydraulic system on my tractor in cold weather-works great!
easy to install very warm block heater November 27, 2009
M. Weigel (Ironwood, MI)
Worked perfectly out of the box. Gets my home generator engine quite warm. I live where it gets down to 30 below. I really need this to keep my emergency generator in condition to start when it is cold. The magnet is no wuss. It adheres very well to the engine.
