Beware; in my personal experience Gas Bottle Heaters like this produce a massive amount of condensation on cold walls and windows.
A few years back I bought one to heat a new extension I had built, but due to all the condensation it produced (the more I used it the more my windows and a one corner of the building dripped with water) I ended up selling it and adding a radiator to heat the room instead and all my condensation problems then magically disappeared.

Brings back memories of my mum heating the bedrooms with one if these as we didn't have central heating. :-)

This is a great deal, much better than Calor Gas who are very expensive and greedy, Calor now add a delivery charge to all deliveries.

This is the same price as their Black Friday deal. I ordered one for my parents and they are very happy with it. Heat added!

Do you get much condensation with these heaters?

Depends on the humidity of your room to start with.
All gas heaters are going to produce water vapour but if your humidity is low to start with chances of condensation is lower.

Using 1 bar of heat for a few hours a day, I would say around 2 weeks.

1 bar about 10 per day, I get 21 days out of a cylinder. They are a good company. Drop off your gas bottles even if you're not home. Then take all your empties when they see you.
I took out their gold membership for about £6 per year. Saved the cost of membership on my last 3 bottle order.
This year I've been using these rather than my economy 7 storage heaters.

I agree.
If you keep a small window in the room open a little bit it'll help reduce the condensation.

This is a great price for people who are not on mains gas or electricity. If a refill costs around £32 that comes out at around 19p per kWh. Mains gas is usually around 4p per kWh and electric is around 13p per kWh. These are only rough prices. Please feel free to update or give better prices for a 13 kg refill. I was just about to buy one for the cabin to replace the electric heater but the calculations mean it's probably not worth it.
Refill is £24 from the same company. More expensive than mains gas but cheaper than running pipes the length of the garden to install a radiator in my summer house.

Are these safe to use in rooms with no ventilation?

Definitely not, you need some ventilation.

yep, these certainly do produce a fair amount of moisture.

These are quite ugly, wouldn't have one in the home.. But for a works depot or builders yard or something I guess they are fine.

Bear in mind these combust the air in your room

Probably best for a shed/garage type place than a conservatory
