This heater has worked flawlessly for seven years. I have burned kerosene, fuel oil, and diesel. This is the second I have owned (left the 1st in the last house), and they have both been excellent. High fuel economy. We heat our large old home with 150 gal. through the Toyo and 5 cords of softwood per year. Easy installation,(in a regular wood wall) and you can find used 2-300 gallon fuel tanks for way under $100, I bought a good one for $25. Not as good as wood heat,(if you cut your own)... (read more)

I have had laser 72 for 6 years, came with cabin I purchased. It had been in use for 5 years before I bought cabin.
Product is great. Had 1 tune up when I put it into service the firstyear. Has worked perfectly ever since. I would suggest if you are having problems to get better grade of fuel.
This heater is cheap to operate and easily heats my 1000 sq ft A frame cabin. Should it ever go out, I am purchasing another one.

I put my Laser 73 into service 12 years ago. It has had light to moderate use. The first burner chamber that came with the stove was poorly designed and failed after about 6 years. I replaced it with the gaskets after it burned through the bottom and fumes became fairly strong. I waited too long again to overhaul the heater another 6 years and oil started leaking again partly becuae of incomplete combustion. I fixed it again and as has been noted the burner matt and two gaskets need to... (read more)

Removed my 175,000 BTU oil fired forced air furnace 5 years ago and went with the Laser 73 heater. Installed twin 275 gal kero tanks and have a years worth of heat. Fuel usage went down 50%. Electric bill went down 25%. Liked it so much I purchased their Kerosene water heater too! 1/2 - 2/3gal per week usage for all the hot water I need. Use only K1 kero and run it on high for 15 minutes before shutting it off for the summer to clean out the exhaust fan or it will freeze up come fall. Then... (read more)

I use this types of Toyotomi Toyostove direct vented heaters already for more than 20 yrs , the only thing I had to do was changing the burner mat , or sometimes clean the carburator , I don't understand why people has so many problems , one thing keep in mind that you have to use low sulfure kerosene , because most of the problems comes from bad quality kerosene , I also add an additive for cleaner burning.

The Toyostove Laser 73 heater is complete garbage. It's unreliable and should not be used to heat households. I found that the unit constantly fails to work and the pipes in the house have froze and will require $1000's in repairs. If you think that Oil prices are high and volatile, Kerosene K-1 prices are much worse. Recently paid over $4 per gallon in Long Island, NY. (read more)

America is in need of energy effeicent heating devices and this Toyotomi Toyo Laser 73 certainly qualifies as more efficient than most untill you factor in the prices for parts and the cost of labor to maintain these little 'nightmares'. I hope that some outfit in America decides to get in the game and make mine obsolete by building a better, more efficient, cheaper to maintain and more reliable unit. (read more)

We have owned our Laser 73 for about 5 years now. It ran good for about a year, then required an overhaul of the flame chamber. (needed replacement of burner mat, burner ring, flame chamber gasket, and top seal gasket...to the tune of around $98) Then has required similar overhaul at about one-year intervals. The burner ring ALWAYS is horribly warped upon inspection, after several months use. IMO, this is due to poor engineering design. Why didn't they fix this problem, before launching the... (read more)

I disagree with this review because... I did never have problems with Toyostove direct vent heaters , I use those already more than 20 yrs , most problems are caused due to bad kerosene use , I also add an additive that keeps the burner clean. The only maintenance I do is changing the burner mat every 3 yrs , and sometimes I also clean the carburator.
<br/>Ask for low sulfure kerosene because those heaters are very sensitive , Toyoyostove say that their new types also run on Biodiesel but the importer in Belgium don't recommend to use this kind of fuel after several tests
