Title: I purchased this 2 weeks ago and have been pretty impressed with it
Review: I purchased this 2 weeks ago and have been pretty impressed with it. I’m using it to heat up my 300 sq ft work shop and it does a great job at doing it. I have insulated the walls of my shop with R-13 and the roof with R-16 so it is having to do less work to keep it warm. I’ve used it on a 20 degree days keeping the inside temp at 70 and it heats up to that temperature pretty quickly and maintains its.The heating properties of this fan are very good. I’ve installed several wall mount 240v heaters at my work and been around a lot of them but I like this one a lot more and it’s cheaper than those. Most of the 240v heaters have pretty mild fans so you will wind up with unmixed air and varying temps in different parts of the room. The fan on this unit is powerful and does an excellent job mixing the air, while also not being obnoxious with the noise. Some reviewers stated it was loud, but I think it’s pretty reasonable. I did a homemade air movement test using a vaporizer pen to make smoke and I blew smoke all over my shop in every corner and the middle while the fan ran it moved and dispersed the smoke quickly so it mixes the air 100% in my 20×15 shop with and 8 foot roof. The heater also does not generate dangerous amounts of heat in front of it. The fan moves the air quickly so the front of it can’t really get the chance to catch anything on fire unless a towel was dropped directly on it I would have to guess. I have attached an infrared image showing the area it heats in front of the heater. Keep in mind that it is slightly deceptive, the blue ground is around 68F while the red area immediately in front is only around 85F and tapers off around 78F at the end.The thermostat works good on it. It maintains a ± .5-1 degree temperature range in my size shop so it’s very dependable to keep a steady temperature.The cord it comes with is annoying like others have stated I cut off the end and put on a $10 replacement plug to make it the same as my welder, however I’m sure there is some electrical code reason that it has to ship with the style so it’s no biggy just plan to add $10 or so more to the purchase price and 10 minutes to swap it.The overall fit and finish of the unit is great too. The paint is nice and thick and evenly applied it doesn’t seem like it was cheaped out on. The button and knob feel nice and solid. The handle is sturdy and well mounted and the unit is pretty small sized so it can be stowed away easily and kept up in the summer without taking much space.Overall I recommend this heater and I don’t think you can find a better one in this price range. I’ve seen several people complain about the heat it puts out. Electric heat is electric heat it’s the same unit to unit. Unless there is a flaw in the product if it is pulling 20 amps like it should be then the heat is there and is the same heat as a different heater. If it won’t heat your shop up any other heater at the same wattage won’t either. Insulate your shop or get 2. The only thing I can’t comment on is durability you can’t really judge it after just 2 weeks, but after the amount of hours I’ve used it I would say it’s going to be great for years to come.

Title: received today – so tentatively, it’s doing well at the moment (more in review text below)
Review: I have a new 35′ x 50′ x 18′ “minimally insulated” RV garage/workshop (with a 3rd floor 8′ attic) – I ordered the heater a few days ago and it arrived very fast. (ahead of time I had been told)notes:- heater was started with garage temp at 52 degrees F- outside temp dropped today to 29 degrees F- heater has been able to gain 2 degrees F to 54 F on the first level in this huge space (I’m more than a little surprised at this)- heat output seems unimpressive in my opinion standing at the unit, but the results (again so far) on my first day of use, far exceeds my expectations- the thermostat likely will have to be replaced with something with a better “differential,” but for the moment I’ll just set it a bit higher.- To connect it to a 50A welder outlet, I ordered a 6-50P to 6-30R adapter cable from AMAZON, which, as expected, worked perfectly(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P6THGKJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1)- so my only (minor) negative is the stock thermostat differential- the unit is adequately quiet- this units fan is “balanced” and no vibration- the unit came very adequately packed and double boxed- this is a big building… All I was expecting was to be able to maintain something above freezing so I wouldn’t have to winterize the RV. I am shocked this heater alone, seems to be gaining temp- I will be installing a heat pump for this building, but for now, I’m pretty much surprised this single heater has maintained or slightly gained temperature.- at the time I took the attached pictures, the outside temp was 29 degrees F (attic temp was 48 degrees F-1st level temp was 54 degrees F)- bldg insulation is 1-2″ of spray foam (closed cell) in attic and walls are 2″ rockwool)on edit 2/18/2021- well this heater didn’t gain on 12 degree days, but it held the temp at 45 (and still cycled)- at 23 degrees it’s able to gain (set at about 45 degrees)- it is probably the most expensive way to heat the garage, but I only need it to keep the temperature above freezing – so it doesn’t run all the time, it cycles- I remain satisfied – I won’t be trying to reach 50’s and 60″s – I think that may be a little rich – I just want it to keep paints and the RV I have stored in there above freezing and it’s doing that easily- I haven’t had any problem with the unit so far – I know some say they had issues, but it seems decently well built and I basically like the unit very much, again, so far… I’ll update if that changes, but I have no reason to expect a changeedit 3/12/22- changed my mind and my review to 5 stars – this heater has just worked too well for me – I can hardly believe how well it’s been working – very very satisfiededit 12/24/22Yikes! 0 degrees F yesterday -20 degrees F wind chill 2 degrees this morning -6 degrees F wind chillThe heater is running “flat out” and continously, BUT, at least on the 1st floor, it’s 45 degrees F and NOT losing. 3rd floor is at 32 degrees. (dry storage floor) “Color me amazed…” I can easily work in there… Building has some insulation. (not a lot though)

Review: I had a 4800 watt electric heater in my garage and did a decent job heating it but I needed something with a little more power. I know I should have gas for something this big but until then I’m very satisfied. Gets it up to 20 degrees from about 5 degrees in a couple hours. The fan is more powerful than the 4800 so it moves more air, however it is noisier but it’s a garage and I’m not reading books out there, I’m wrenching on cars so it doesn’t matter to me. Also, the thermostat knob feels a little flimsy but it’s doing it’s job. Overall, I like the heater and we’ll see on longevity and durability. I’ll update as I’ve only had it a month.Update: First cold winter in northern Ontario. Kept my garage at 10 C at lower setting until I needed it to work out there. Turned it on high, went to 20 C in 2 hours. Working like a champ and I’m using it daily. Wasn’t crazy on electric bill either. Best purchase. Still will update if it fails.

Review: It’s difficult to set the temp. dial in back when in the auto setting to any type of setting since there are no marking indicators. There should be stops added to the temp.dial. Purchased in Oct./23 it is now Jan./24 and the unit does not heat up my garage like it once did. The temp. in the garage is 70â°It will not heat the garage any warmer. It used to heat the garage to 80â°.

Review: Tried a few heaters for attached garage and nothing compares to this one. Great quality for the price. Simple design with on/off dial that is also a thermostat so you can set the temperate you desire.

Review: This heater was an excellent purchase.I did not purchase it lightly, without careful review of what other purchasers were saying in their feedback….. and for me it rates 5 star. I received it within 3 days of my purchase, and after wiring the appropriate outlet from the electrical panel, and making a 15′ extension cord for it, I finally tested it over the weekend. My shop is insulated and approximately 800 ft2, with a woodworking area in one half and a motorcycle shop with hoist in the other half… and work benches separating the two…. so the shop is a little broken up. The extension cord allowed me to move the heater around as desired, and within 15 minutes of it’s initial start up, the shop was warm enough to work all day in jeans and a t-shirt. Yes, the fan is a little loud but not unexpected for a commercial heater….. Is as effective as a woodstove? or commercial gas fired heater? no…. but without those options available, it worked really well, and exceeded my expectations! I am a very satisfied customer, and am now looking forward to a winter of pulling wrenches on motorcycles and working in my shop, warm, and happy……

Review: So it seems I get 2 – 3 years max out of this style of heater, but they were different brands. So far this works, not too loud. Light and easy to install. Thermostat seems to be working ok. For those that think maybe if I buy a more expensive unit, well try this one first as I have tested many and I’ve spend $700 CAN with remote only for that one to fail, after warranty of course! Don’t want to mislead anyone ha haha Anyway, high hopes!
