Stopped working, but if you're handy IT CAN BE FIXED!.
This worked the first time we used it, however, never again. If it is cold, this will not light. The spring pressure on the ignitor is very strong, if you have arthritis, forget it. Also the dumb designers embossed the on button with the word ON so it will kill your thumb after the fiftieth time you press it. After the fiftieth to you'll just give up. Worst purchase ever. It will fail just when you need it. EDIT: OK, the failure mode is not in the design but the manufacturing. Open up the heater and everything was loose. The brass nut on the main valve was complete off. Hence the not lighting problem. There are also, two screws (M4) opposite the tilt mechanism, one missing, one loose. entire head would move back and forth. Replaced the missing screw, tightened everything and it now lights easy! Tilt safety functions properly. Oh, final note, while you have it apart, grind of the ON button and sand smooth, your thumb will love you.
