FAQs

How much does eco!efficiency mode save?
It reduces fuel consumption from 3.2 kg/h to 2.6 kg/h — roughly a 20% saving in running costs versus standard mode.

Can I use this indoors?
No — this is a diesel-heated machine that produces exhaust fumes, so it's designed for outdoor or well-ventilated use.
