They were selling these in Morrisons, it said cheaper than electric.
I guess gas is cheaper, but is bottled gas cheaper.
Fumes? How much ventilation would be needed?

Portable gas heaters have been around for ages and I suppose Morrisons will have some data to back their cost claims. The amount of air leakage into a typical house would probably be sufficient to cope with the combustion, just like with gas rings, but I'd still fit a CO detector with one of these.
What they won't tell you is how much water the heater produces ...100% more than electric heaters. Therefore, more condensation is guaranteed.0 -

Hydrogen in gas combines with oxygen when burned, by product is water (steam) among others.
Electric heating doesn't burn anything at the point of heating. Lots of gas / coal / oil burned to produce electricity unless nuclear or renewable.0 -
in the first two seconds of the video, it shows you how the cylinder slots in, so only calor bottes can be used - think they learned this trick from ink printer manufacturers
goggle and you find bottle gas is very expensive, especially the small/medium bottles. The big outside tank is the way to go
, but still more expensive than mains gas often my multiple factors. Think or that size bottle will be about £20 for a night or possibly two but ymmv
