Staff Perspective: I’ve owned a Buddy heater for user, put 100,000 miles on it without fail, but this new Flex is pretty cool creating the kind of heat needed to spend an entire day or night on the ice. It’s unique design kicks out comforting heat in several directions so all participants can warm up. I also love the cooker option that can be purchased separately, for the option to cook hot food or make coffee. There’s a pile of good uses for the Flex, and they are worth the investment.
