Mudiro M-5S Ultra Diesel Heater
#2 in All in oneFull review
A cheap all-in-one heater for tents, garages and vans that adds a CO shutoff and automatic altitude adjustment, though its real output is well under the 8 kW rating.

#34 in SplitFull review
A bare bones split heater for DIY installers in the mountains who want automatic altitude adjustment at the lowest price. The short warranty and missing specs make it a gamble.
