Purchased on November 4, 2025. Today, June 11, 2026, the heating element burned out completely (it shot flames). It had rusted from the first month, but it kept heating charcoal normally for another 6. I might buy it again, but for now I’m looking for an alternative. When I light charcoal on the gas with a flame, I can stand right next to the grill and there’s no smell at all. With this heater, however, the charcoal smelled for at least 4-5 minutes, until it got properly glowing. In fact, with the heater outside the window (necessarily with the window slightly open for the cord), the whole house smelled, even two rooms in. If I bought it again, it would be purely and only because of its very low price.

Purchased for lighting hookah coals (25mm). Initially, very nice construction and very high quality. It comes as you see in the photo with a handle so you can move it along with the coals. The adjustable thermostat it mentions is not exactly adjustable; it has 2 rack levels. One is right above the heating element where the coals light much faster, and the other a bit higher up which takes a normal amount of time to light the coals. Overall, I am satisfied because it lights them very quickly.

Very good charcoal heater with 2 levels of charcoal heating. Powerful and ignites them very quickly. This particular heater, on the level above the heating element, is also protected from the wind, while the upper one is not. During the first use it will smell a bit but it's nothing.

Very good machine. It doesn't take many coals but it's enough for private use. In 10 minutes at most it has them heated. They need to be turned halfway so the other side gets heated as well though. Overall, I am satisfied with the device, the price, and the fast shipping.

Overall, very good construction, sturdy and stable in use. The soft rubber feet keep the device in place, it doesn't slip at all. It has an On-Off switch and the handle doesn't get hot, so you can move it comfortably even when it's working.

The overheating protection hasn't been activated, so I can't say if it works. It's ready in 5-6 minutes! I use it for hookah coals: coconut coals take about 10 minutes (with turning), while regular coals light in about 5 minutes.

The only drawback for me is the short cable. If you don't have a socket nearby, you'll need an extension.

Other than that, I'm satisfied. It does the job without surprises for 2 years now and it's worth the money.

I use it for hookah smoking. Quick and good burning on the charcoal and no fear of ashes flying around. Bulky, of course, but it saves your hands

The product was received with one of the four stabilizing legs being damaged. This raises safety concerns when using it, as there is a higher risk of tipping over and causing the coal to fall and potentially starting a fire. I would not recommend purchasing it due to the aforementioned defect.

I did not expect at all that a product at such a good price would have such a high quality of construction and performance. EXCELLENT!

They light up perfectly fine and quickly

15 minutes from the moment I press the button. Works great and at a very good price
