Don't see review of Wave 6 in the link, but... depending on location, 5000 BTU model can be too much for some places and not enough for some other.
Wintering in BC Mexico in poorly insulated 26ft trrailer, with night temps rarely below 45, I resorted to running it only in the evening and on the Med-Low. It gets cold after sunset at 6pm, too early to go to bed. If I leave it overnight, I would wake up in sweat. They suggest leaving N square inches of open window per BTU, don't remember the number because my one or two windows are usually open more than that. Wave 6 is permanently installed on the wall.
There is practically no humidity from this heater. It would take a few days to burn 1 gallon of propane and produce 1 gallon of moisture with Wave 6, even if I had left it on High for 24 hours. It barely sips propane. Much more efficient than open-flame heater or furnace. I only wish it could cycle by itself.
