Big Buddy heaters
« on: Nov 12, 2021, 08:33 AM »
If you're looking for a Big Buddy heater this year in Sask, they are $70 cheaper at Lowes then anywhere else I've seen lately and $50 cheaper then Cabelas.

That's in Canadian cash, right?  They're the cheapest here, too, at $139...

If you can locate and/or get Lowes to price match

Looks like Lowes has the Big Buddy with the FAN

https://www.lowes.com/pd/Tough-Buddy-18000-BTU-Portable-Radiant-Propane-Heater/3011768

They may price match with Walmart (link below)...and may give a Veterans discount

https://www.walmart.com/ip/18-000-BTU-Portable-Radiant-Big-Buddy-Propane-Heater/19398780   $109

Only snag is the NAME..Tough Buddy ...Lowes may bark if its not exactly the same

Note on the Walmart site I watched this go in and out of stock.. to ship the last couple days ..and fluctuating in availability in my area stores ..its wonky ..suggest you throw it in your cart . and pounce when its available or visit your Local Walmart if available..take a picture/screen shot to verify with Customer service ..Keep the link handy as well.

this Picture is from the  Walmart site and it matches the one on the box I just received from Walmart..fan works upon testing (had to scavenger hunt for D cell batteries in my casa  :laugh:)

also fan included logo was imprinted on the box not an affixed sticker

I bought one a month ago with no fan, wish I had waited. The Lowes page says fan sold separately, has anyone bought one after and put in on before? Where can you get them?

Could return it and grab one in Walmart in the states.

I read the Lowe's ad as saying batteries and 110v power supply are sold separately.
It seems to go from zero to hero all some have to do is lie.

Princess Auto has Buddy heaters on sale:
https://www.princessauto.com/en/9000-btu-buddy-radiant-propane-heater/product/PA0008945065

Not “Big Buddy”, just the regular Buddy.

Cheers,
