- Hybrid catalytic burn keeps emissions low at 0.70 g/h in the latest EPA test
- EPA tested output up to about 55,700 BTU/h heats a large home
- Runs with no electricity, so it heats through power cuts
Cons
- No blower option to push heat into far rooms
- Warranty is short at 1 year on parts and 3 years on the catalyst
