Many users have found the advantages of propane heaters far outweigh the small additional running costs. The fuel is more completely burned and does not leave an oily residue as experienced with paraffin heaters. There is no odour, except for the few seconds during start-up and the units run a little more quietly since they do not need a compressor to drive the fuel to the burner. Available with a durable paint finish or with a stainless steel body for improved corrosion resistance and more stylish appearance.
