 "Nice Little Heater" 2009-10-23
By Jeff Guenzel (Flanders, NJ USA)
This little heater is very nice. It is a lower output unit, so it has its limitations its power, but that is clearly noted in the description. I wanted a small heater that was lightweight enough that I could put it in my hiking pack for very cold nights to deal with the bitter cold. It can heat a moderate size tent well enough. I am very pleased. I agree with the advice of breaking it in and burning off the initial smell. It is an interesting smell at first.

 "a glorified hand warmer" 2009-10-21
By J. H. Voss III
All I can say this "heater" is Nothing more than a glorified hand warmer! Using a thermometer in my garage, this thing did NOT raise it up one degree.I even left it on all night and sealed up my garage tight and after 12 hours no change in temp. at all! This thing would only keep you warm only if you sat on it!

 "Coleman SportCat For your tent." 2009-10-11
By B. Wright (Layton, Ut USA)
The SportCat heater took the chill off my tent while I was hunting in Wyoming. The fuel tank lasts all night, so you don't have to get up and refuel. Would also be great for ice fishing shack.

it does exactly what i wanted it for , works perfectly , would recommend this product

 "Decent heater" 2009-06-11
By rearley1980 (Maine USA)
This is a decent heater my husband and I used in our 6-person (which really means 4-person) tent during a May camping trip. Very stable as far as tipping over. After a few hours of running, heat was not as "hot" as some of the reviews stated, but does do the trick of taking the chill out of the air. Our tent was high and vented so that explains why it didn't get very hot. I would definitely recommend buying this as the price is good and most others are fairly pricey. Well worth the money!

 "Coleman BlackCat Heater Review" 2009-10-02
By H. Snyder (Cleveland OH)
The Coleman 5038-850 BlackCat Perfectemp Catalytic Propane Heater is an excellent value for the money, and it was delivered in only 3 days after I placed my order! Outstanding service Amazon!!! I have used the heater twice already in my camper and am highly satisfied. True, it does not make it warm enough inside the camper to bake cookies, but it takes the chill and dampness off, which is all I needed it for.

 "Worth Every Penny" 2009-09-28
By D. Hajek (Waukesh, WI.)
I bought this before a camping trip I was taking in late September in Wisconsin where the weather is usually cool and damp at night. I have a large 8 person tent and was pretty impressed on how well the heater kept the tent warm. With the temp outsite the tent in the lo 50's, I was very comfortable inside with just shorts & a t-shirt.



I did some investigation into the heater before I purchased it and one of the recomendations was to burn a tank of propane thru it before you really need to in order to get rid of an odor that seems to come from the new ones (in which it is a funky odor). I don't think you need to burn a whole tank, but maybe half a tank. I had a half a tank laying around so I used that and it seemed to work.



Another thing I noticed is they say it will use a whole bottle in about 8 hours. I would say maybe 7. If I started the heater around 9 PM around 4 - 4:30 it would start getting chilly in the tent because the heater ran out of gas. I would just quick change the bottle and start it back up and just go back to sleep. It does have a lower setting and it would have probably lasted longer if I would have set it on that.



One more thing I did before buying the heater I Googled catalytic Propane Heaters and was given a link to the Consumer Product Potection Agency investigation on propane heaters and I was very confident about putting this in a closed space and not worry about Carbon Monoxide.

 "Performed Very Well" 2008-11-12
By Bertrand Russell (CA)
I recently used this product in Yosemite. At night, in a heavy rain, the temperature dropped to under 40 degrees f. On the high setting, after about 10 min, I was able to relax comfortably on top of my sleeping bag in a t-shirt and sweat pants ( I was in a 7x7 dome tent). I accidentally fell asleep for about an hour while the unit unit was on. No ill effects, but not recommended. A full canister (16.4) lasted around 6 hours on the HIGH setting. The supporting legs of the unit seemed a bit fragile. The automatic ignition switch sometimes took several (20+) clicks before lighting. All in all, the Black Cat Propane Heater was very useful, and made my trip to Yosemite all the more comfortable!

 "Very Cool! Yet Very Warm!" 2008-10-30
By Mark W. Hauser
We used the BlackCat up in the NC Blueridge Mountains. Kept our tent very warm at 36 degree temps, only had to keep it on low heat and lasted all night on one bottle, used the rest for our Coleman lantern the next 2 nights. Would very much recommend this product.

 "Keeps you warm" 2008-08-27
By Kelly Obrien (Aurora CO USA)
This heater is awesome. It really keeps you warm when weather is around 30+ degrees. We borrowed one from a friend when we went camping at 11,000 ft in Colorado. We ended up having to buy our own one we liked it so much. We were always die hard campers but when you throw kids into the mix, we really wanted to make sure they stayed warm. I highly recommend it!!!

 "Coleman ProCat" 2009-06-14
By CO Camper (Denver, Colorado)
We recently purchased a large tent (15x12) and needed a propane heater that could stand up to the task of keeping the inside of the tent comfortable on cold nights. We purchased two of the Coleman ProCats for this purpose and they worked absolutely beautifully! I was skeptical at first, preferring to keep warm with multiple sleeping layers, but gave in when my partner insisted. Now that we've used them, we won't camp again without having them with us. The battery operated fan made all the difference in the world when it came to dispersing the heat throughout the entire tent, even though the roof was completely mesh (with the fly elevated about 6" above it). Our heaters ran constantly on high for over 8 hours without giving up. Two hours before turning in for the night, my partner turned them on. By the time we went to bed around 11:00, temperatures outside were in the 30s, while inside the tent, it was comfortable enough to wear t-shirts. By morning, it was a little cooler, but still warm enough to not see your breath - an oddity in the Colorado mountains at 5:00 in the morning, for sure!



As is common sense, ALWAYS light the heaters outdoors or, at the very least, well away from the sides of tents or other flammable material, as they do emit a flame when first ignited.



Simply the best! We love you, Coleman! I've posted a photo from inside our tent.

 "good little heater" 2009-05-11
By J. Perry
I;ve owned this little heater for almost 2 years. Mainly use it in a small fiberglass travel trailer (18 footer similar to Scamp). Have used it several times in the mountains at 6,000 to 9,000 ft. with temps dipping to upper 20's. It really takes the chill off. Makes the little trailer seem almost warm though its really only in the lower 50's after running for some time. But heck, that beats a cold 28 degrees. The bottles last about like everyone says. I don't sleep through the night with it running but do turn it on a little while before getting up. Have also used it in a little workshop which was way bigger then my trailer. Did not do much good but it tried. Have probably ran it over 100 hrs with no problems. I like it and would recommend it.

 "Works better than I thought!" 2009-05-05
By R. Baerga (New Jersey, USA)
If it was not for this little wonder, my husband and I would have surely frozen our butts off during our Easter weekend camping trip. I recommended for all serious campers!

 "Warm and cozy" 2009-02-18
By Phyllis M. Lawler (Schererville, IN)
Well pleased with this handy, efficient heater. Would probably take the chill out of a small room but keeps the immediate area comfortable. Easy to light and very portable.

 "Not the Coleman I know!" 2009-02-12
By D. A. Littlefield
I like the quality of Coleman stuff. We have one of their campstoves, a lantern, and a couple of their sleeping bags(!) - all over 40 years old - that still work great. And I'm very pleased with our 5 year old Coleman grill and the neat little Coleman LED flashlight that I just bought.



So I'm thinking that this heater must have come from some other "Coleman." Thing was put together so poorly that I had to take it apart and reassemble it before we could use it and, even with the fan feature, its heat output is marginal at best. I bought it to take the chill off one of our bathrooms on cool Florida mornings, and it does that - but just barely. I can't imagine it doing any good on a camping outing where the temps are freezing or below! Oh, and the handle design could be a lot better, too, IMO. Seems like it would be easy to drop - not a good thing considering hot surfaces and all.



Overall, a below-average product, I'd say.
