Works great

It has usb plugs
I like the fact I don't have to plug it in. The light in the handle is nice also.

Failure after failure
The igniter went out almost immediately. It is needlessly complicated compared to other brands. Now it won't even stay lit.

All around great product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have used this now 3 winters now and has NEVER given us any trouble. Always starts after a few seconds of lighting the pilot.

features are great if they work
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned this heater for a little over a year. A plug came loose from the control board. When this happened the contacts pulled out of the board. Now I need a replacement control board. I am having no luck finding one.
