MPX
As far as size goes, the MPX weighs in somewhere between the Daystar and the KBE5S. So, where the Daystar can be set up to blow heat directly into a crawl space, the MPX might not. However, the MPX has the widest angle range (45 degrees) of any of the VAL6 heaters, yet is small enough to fit under quite a few objects.
With it’s weight, wide angle range, and other benefits the MPX is often the go-to for emergency personal, construction workers, and shop owners.
Recommended Uses
The MPX is used best in situations when you need quality heat, fast, and directed at your problem area. Blowing the air and spreading radiant heat towards gelled up machinery or drying out the walls after a pipe leak. Consider these applications:
