When buying anything new, if you go for a well known brand name it is usually said that you pay for the name. In truth you are probably paying a little for the name, but there is usually a reason why a company gained that valuable good name in the first place. And there are certain things for which it is worth paying a little extra for quality. So it is with the corona kerosene heaters.
They are the most famous face of the sears kerosene heaters, and what you get for your money is more peace of mind, more safety. I would never recommend getting a liquid fuel heater these days if it did not have some kind of safety shut out. These devices can literally be a lifesaver if the unit gets tipped over.
The corona has a really good auto shut off device, which helps put our mind at ease over safety. Another thing I think worth paying for is convenience - this range of sears heaters comes with a Quick Push Start ignition system that saves time and unnecessary struggles with the shoddily designed ignitions on some other types of home kerosene heater.
The corona lasts about nine and half hours on a single fill up of fuel and is capable of putting out 22,800 British Thermal Units of heat.
