Hmmm, Thinking they mislabeled the Ad. Pic is of the smaller Buddy Heater, not the 2 panel Big Buddy Heater. on the Q&A numerous replies indicate the Smaller 9000 BTU unit was shipped.
Still a great price for the regular buddy, but not sure if we are getting the actual Big Buddy 18000 BTU model.

Yup, as I suspected, The Ad and my order has been amended to the MH9BX 9000 BTU model. So for the folks expecting the Big Buddy model MH18B, you can cancel before they ship if you aren't happy I guess.

Still lowest price I have found for the Regular Buddy is $112.00 so still a good deal.

Yep this is now for the smaller unit not the big buddy. Guess i won’t be ordering now. Read the Q&A. Same questions on bigger or smaller unit. Confirmed smaller unit.

Amazon is famous for bait and switch

It's happened to me with lots of fishing equipment.

I'm still skeptical, but if I get a $230 heater for $78.12 I'll be ecstatic!

My order confirmation lists the MH18B, so I won't accept any other model. I have already replied back to them stating this.

Harpeesh or what ever online told me they've changed the add as all the mh18s were sold out. The adds are updated as inventory changes and I am getting the mh18, if it's not the mh18 amazon will cover the costs to return ship.

I used that chat feature to see if I would get mh18s like I ordered. The guy said it was an error and I would get the mh9bx. My order still shows mh18s as preparing to ship.

Is the smaller one a good deal at that price?

Hello,
Here's a copy of the chat transcript you requested:

Initial Question: Hi, just want to confirm that my order XXX-XXX-XXX is for the MH18B Big Buddy heater

08:18 PM PST Lohit(Amazon): Hello, my name is Lohit. I'm here to help you today.
Thank you for being a prime member.
Yes correct, it is for
Mr. Heater MH18B Big Buddy 4,000, 9,000 and 18,000 BTU Propane Heater
08:19 PM PST Lohit: There are total two shipment, another one is : RioRand Propane Refill Adapter Gas Cylinder Tank Coupler Heater for Camping Hunting BBQ Outdoor
08:19 PM PST Gammaboy: Okay great, I read online that it was replaced by the MH9 but my invoice says MH18. I just wanted to check to save the bother of returning it Thanks a lot
08:20 PM PST Lohit: Yes that is fine,Gammaboy. You’re welcome. Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
08:21 PM PST Gammaboy: Not you answered my question the way I was hoping. I guess you can't believe everything you read on forums. Have a great night.
08:21 PM PST Lohit: Okay have a great evening! It was a pleasure to assist you with this. Happy Thank Giving.
Please Click on ''End Chat button''.

I'm not sure unless because I'm an Amazon Prime member its different? Or mine was ordered before they raised the price on the deal of the day page?
I guess wait and see what they actually ship and if its not correct it goes back.

Hope everyone gets the unit they wanted. The one I bought locally is the smaller unit I believe (MH9BX), I think I bought mine on sale for $120 in CT. So either way it was a really good deal. Happy to help and save a few people some $$$.

I ordered through prime and paid 4$ for 1 day shipping so I should be able to update which unit I receive pretty soon.

I did the same as Bassett; I should be seeing mine tomorrow. My order says MH18B, so it had better be that one... Although truth be told, it's not a bad price for the MH9B. Not sure if I'll return it if it doesn't turn out to be the MH18B...
