Reviews Summary

Sengoku CV-2230 User Opinions Summary:

Sengoku CV-2230 KeroHeat Convection Heater is a great alternative to electric heaters. It heats the room very fast. It burns almost odorlessly in comparison to other kerosene heaters, is well made and easy to handle.

What do people say

This Kerosene heater is very easy to use, requires minimal maintenance, and puts out a LOT of heat fast. Only real smell is at start-up and especially at shutdown, but if you take the heater outside to start and stop, actual in use smell is almost zero if you use it properly. By properly for my particular unit means flame height as high as possible w/o curling (sooting), and adjusting the burner. Quality of the fuel obviously is a factor, and I have had pretty good luck with the un-dyed K-1 from several stations. With good fresh K-1 fuel, and the unit adjusted properly at operating temp, there is no odor, or so faint I have to try and smell for it, and there has absolutely never been any sooting. You will learn how to adjust the unit as the fuel warms/unit gets hotter, and really enjoy the experience. My family enjoys the soft steady glow the heater makes, and it’s nice steady heat, not the on/off feeling from central.

This is a well made heater. I have used K1 heaters in the past and this is the best yet. It is heavy, though. The lifting handles feel flimsy, although they seem to do the trick. Operation is easy, but the assembly guide and some of the instructions were less than clear. Assembly is still pretty easy. If postioned near a fire detector, it will cause an alarm. Filling the built-in kerosene tank can be a little messy, but a siphon is provided and that makes it pretty easy. It will smell of kerosene on ignition and when shut down. If you need some good auxillary heat…this one is probably the best you can buy.
