This little heater is amazing. It’s able to heat up the master bedroom. A powerful heater with high quality. When my room gets enough heat, it turns off automatically, and when the temperature drops, it turns on again in order to keep warm area. I had a real problem before, I woke up in the middle of the night because I was cold. And so I didn’t have a good sleep. Due to this heater, I don’t have such problems anymore. Andily space heater perfectly copes with the task, I really like it! By the way, the price is fair. I definitely recommend this amazing little heater!!! The heater is easy to use and very efficient. There are two modes: high and low. Low mode is really enough to heat the bedroom at night despite its small sizes. There is also Fan mode for hot days in summer. What a great function! The LED lights are my favorite part! They look nice at night in the bedroom. I think this heater is safer than others. I bought Stanley heater several days ago and I hit the mark! And now I want to buy larger heater for the workshop. I really like the design of the device because it fits my tools. And the most important thing is that it keeps me warm in the workshop. I’m going to buy it in the season as it would be a perfect gift for holidays. Pros: good heating, nice design, easy to move it due to the big handles. Cons: I haven’t found any. I got two electric heaters this year. I didn’t have much money, so I had to select electric or gas. Well, electric can heat your house, the gas can blow your house! LOL, I selected space heaters. I waited for my electric bill in order to share my honest opinion about this heater. The temperature was low outside. And when I looked at my bill, I was surprised because the price was lower than I expected. And it was due to the new heater. I lived in a warm house and paid less. What else you need! Pros: it is really effective one, the heaters claim this feature, but this one really shows it. Also, it works better than the previous one even during low, cold temperatures. Cons: it has loud noise compared to the previous one. But it is quitter than you understand the word “loud”. So it is not a big deal. Just get this product and you won’t regret it! I though that it would be smaller. But it is ok. Of course, I had doubts about its efficiency but now I can say that it works just well! The heater heated the bedroom quickly using just low settings! It’s amazing. I also tried the fan function in order to see how it worked, and it cooled down the room pretty well! What I really like about this product is an automatic shutdown system. This feature is important to me because we have a cat. I will recommend it to my friends because the heater copes with its functions well just like its manufacturer has stated. I just want to say that the heater treats small to medium sized room. The smaller space would be warm for sure. Make sure to switch it on the night before you plan to use it. It may radiate the room. But after it works for a while, the room gets warmer. I compared the temperature in different rooms, and the room with the heater was toast, and it was just 35 degrees. The package of the heater was good. It was not heavy. I had to put it together. I could easily move it between carpet and on the floor. The heating is quick. Its surface is sleek. The heater brings coziness in the room that are heated enough during winter. There is even a special place for the cord, and this is very convenient and neat. To mount the product, you will need a screwdriver with four screws, and that is all. When the heater reaches 45 degrees, the tip-over protection is activated. Make sure to warn your children about warm surface of the heater. There are big knobs on the control for a simple and easy usage. I got it by UPS and had a tracking number. As you know, propane garage heaters used to be very popular despite a poor convenience. This type of the heater does not connect to gas and electricity, but canisters are required in this case. You have to refill it in the store from time to time. You may be left without any heat because propane quickly runs out. There are also gas garage heaters. It should be assembled to a gas line. And not all garages have this possibility. It is still a matter of argument whether propane and gas are economical. In fact, it may be very dangerous because of carbon monoxide emission. There are even cases when a garage ventilation should be changed in order to install gas or propane heater. You don’t want to face these issues, do you? So electric heaters will be your option. Not all people know about the wattage or BTU. And these words may mean nothing to some people. In fact, it is not so simple to identify how much heat is released, and whether the heater’s power is enough for all needs. This is a rough guide, and the power depends on wattage and size of the room. Of course, there are exceptions for the economic work of the heater. But it is a useful initial point. If you want to invest money in a good product, you should know some important steps before purchasing any garage heater. You have to know that a heater will give you enough heat for your space as a properly selected device will last you long. Insulating material is essential. Your heater will not get things done even at the high power if your garage or space does not have good insulation. First of all, examine the insulation in your space in order to get the maximal efficiency of your heater. And in some cases, some work should be done on the insulation before using any electric heater. A compatibility of the power should be considered because it is the key for an electric heater in a garage. Is there any proper power supply provided? As you know, common outlet of the household power is 110V and 120V. And 240V is usually used for the garage heater. If you are brave and like problems, you may plug it in the lower power outlet and it may induce electrical troubles and an overload of the system. The market is now full of different devices and various heaters, and so you will definitely face a portable heater for garages. This type is also used but we cannot call them the best ones because some power may be lost and some features are not good. If you often need to move the heater from one space to another (maybe you have several workshops, or several small rooms), you may consider this option. However, you have to be ready that the portable heaters have lower power and are not able to provide as much heat as electric ones. That is why we do not describe a portable heater in this list. Do you still have some doubts about the proper use of the electric heater in your garage? We would like to share simple and useful tips to get the best results during the use of the heater and avoid common mistakes.

I looked for a low wattage heater for the living room, and this one works well. It works all day and night, and the room is warm enough. It doesn’t look like a fan forced heater, but the chill out is supported. We use 1500 watts to keep the living room warm. And 30 degrees are enough to have toasty room. This heater is nice, and I am planning to get the same for the bedroom. It works quietly, its surface is not hot, and it is easy to mount. The mounting took me just 30 minutes.

Recommendations for better use of electric heater
So it’s almost winter up here in Connecticut and temps are starting to dip into the 40F. The garage temp this morning was arounf 55F. It wont be long until they are below freezing. Last year I used a propane ready heater to heat my garage while I was out there. It worked fine, but I had a propane tank and a decent size heater taking up valuable floor space. Propane heat also puts a lot of moisture into the air and I don’t want my tools and bare metal projects rusting. So I’m thinking about buying a wall/ceiling mount electric heater. My garage is about 21×19 an 8’8″ tall ceiling. It’s drywall finished, but not currently insulated other than exterior house wrap and siding. I know a lot of heat will be escaping out the top but i’m hoping to at least throw some insulation up in the attic in the near future.
I love my Fahrenheat but that 211812 King heater looks very nice. It looks like it gives you about 3000 more btu at 6000W than the Fahrenheat and has a remote control!!
The King draws 23 amps vs the Fahrenheats 21 amps. I have a 600 sqft garage, insulated with 11ft ceilings and the Fahrenheat is more than enough, however more is always better right? ha ha.
I do know of a fella that has a King 5000w heater installed in his garage and he is very happy with it. From reading the reviews and knowing someone personally that likes King I would say that the 211812 King heater would work great for you. The Fahrenheat is rated to heat up to 500sqft, the bigger King says greater than 300sqft, and the smaller King says 400sqft.
I guess you would have to factor in the cost of each unit and how much juice each uses. The Fahrenheat is rated at 100sqft more than the smaller King heater but is the same wattage. To me it would be between the Fahrenheat and the larger King unit.
I have the G73 Dayton 5000 watt unit – also in Detroit. I bought it for quick and easy installation. If I go out to the garage right now at about 20 degrees outside, I will kick on both the electric and a torpedo style kerosene 35,000 btu heater and let it run about 30 minutes. This will get me to around 50 degrees. Then I run the electric to maintain the temp. I don’t think it would raise the temp by itself for several hours.
