That is what they are worth. It's a direct Chinese copy of either an Eberspacher or a Webasto unit. I have one in my caravan and it is unreal.
Safety first though, only use with a good carbon monoxide alarm with either the Chinese or German product.

Yeah that's the exact reason the CO alarm is needed. All it takes is for 2 seals to fail and you will simply never wake up. AB was very lucky!

Diesel exhaust definitely contains carbon monoxide so I wouldn't be putting that theory to the test...

I haven't heard that one before but will do some research. I was in a Facebook group all about these cheap Chinese diesel heaters and the consensus was the are safe, but if two gaskets fail then they will pump diesel exhaust into the cabin, a carbon monoxide alarm will wake you before it becomes a serious problem.
The alarm was $50 from Bunnings and had a 10 year lithium battery.

Yeah diesel produce a different gas. Hence you need the correct tester when looking for head gasket cracks. The petrol types are looking for carbon monoxide to change colour while the diesel doesn't produce this. You could potentially still die from diesel exhaust fumes but you would be quite ill before doing so. Where as petrol you just fall asleep and your done.
Diesel still does produce a small amount of carbon monoxide but not even close to the levels of a petrol. So a carbon monoxide alarm would still work. So having both CO and CO2 alarms is very safe.
