Most Popular Engine Block Heater for 2020 Kia Sorento

The product wasn't a proper fit at all for the vehicle. I had to modify it by cutting the thickness on the plug end with a hacksaw, to go past the engine case edge. Created a flat spot. Otherwise it wouldn't insert properly into the cavity in the engine. It would have to be all one diameter if designed properly. Not sized or designed well. Now that it's installed it seems to work ok.

2015 Hyundai Sonata 2.4 install. Have to remove air intake, very tight to get it in just enough space. Had to trim a little bit to make it fit but nothing ever fits perfect. Picture say it all.

The only concern I had which I had emailed prior to assembly is the round gasket that is supplied is too big and sloppy even though I had used high temp thread sealant the gasket should of had a better fit. I will find out this winter as for heating capabilities. Thank-You!

As advertised

Shipping was very fast (2 days) from Florida to Boise.. I have not installed the block heater yet. I'm driving home to Alaska soon and I'll have my mechanic install it there. Required in Alaska for even for gas engines

80% perfect fit! The only thing missing is 90 degree angle for the power cord at the heater(like GM original) also the power cord is not long enough for 2017 Canyon! Otherwise excellent for the price!

Bon achat, j'ai fait l'installation moi même sur un corolla 2016, j'ai nettoyer le trou et j'ai ajouter de la pâte Heat sink compound et j'ai placer le Kat's Heater avec le câble électrique qui était juste assez long pour sortir de la grille. Je l'ai essayer pendant 35 minutes à -17C et il a donner de bon résultat. Cet hivers je vais travailler plus au nord ou il y aura des -40 C et je pourrai vraiment faire un bon test pour voir si il est vraiment efficace. je ferai un autre commentaire pour le verdict.

DO NOT BUY for an early 2nd generation Tacoma (~2005-2011). Fitment and product quality are horrific. As other reviewers have mentioned for these specific vehicles, you have to grind down a side of the metal, removing approx 3/100s of an inch. Annoying, but not a huge deal. After clearancing, the heater cartridge fits right into the designated hole in the block. The bigger issue is that the electrical plug slips right out of the end of the cartridge if you so much as blow on it. The clip designed to hold it all together and secure it into the truck is worthless- it is prone to popping right off of the orange section where it attaches and/or slipping off of its "notch" on the truck. All the bending/adjusting in the world could not make it work. Significant potential fire hazard if the orange plug slips off the cartridge and you plug it into 120V power without realizing this. Extremely disappointed.

Install was a little tricky given the location for my vehicle 2012 F150. But other than that pretty straight forward. Packaging was good and product seems well put together. Only time will tell if it works well. I'm not in the cold climate yet. It also does come with the 3 prong as advertised.

Product is fine but, the installation instructions are terrible. Even contacting the manufacturer for the mounting instructions, terrible. Found the mounting place on YouTube. What's up with this?
