Nice heater! We have three-car garage, and my husband often does some wood works in it. As we live in the mountains, it is really cold outside at night (30-40 degrees). We had three heaters in the garage to warm that big area, but it was not enough warm to be comfortable.

But I have good news that this heater has replaced the other three!!! We don’t need old heaters anymore! This new heater produces enough heat about 70 degrees. Also, my husband turned it down in two days, and used auto mode. So it turns off and on to keep the needed heat. I guess he goes for 67 degrees. And he said that this heater is too hot!

We had doubts about this heater, as it is small, and our garage is 26×34, and has 12 feet ceiling. We read good reviews about it, and so we bought it on Amazon. And, at the same time, we got quotes for the gas line that would be used from the house to provide a gas heater. We thought it would be the only method to get heat. And it costed $2800! And this small heater cost was $200. Well, we did not expect that this heater would do the difference. But we were wrong!!! This product gives the works! It saves our money. We will recommend it to our friends. I will buy it again, if needed. This is a great option for us!

The heater generates enough warmth. Its fan does a great job on the low and high settings. This way, the air is well circulated and is not drafty. Moreover, it does not produce much noise. It sound like a fan when thermostat turns it on. The only thing that annoys me a little bit is that the metal handle is rattling against the metal frame from time to time. If you cannot stand that, I would recommend you to arrange the rear handle. In this case it will not rest on the heater back. The thermostat is solid. The room temperature is well kept. The fan does not run all the time. The heater is small, and does not need much space. Its frame does not get hot. The length of the cord is enough for me. The whole construction and design are well-made, as for me. I really like this heater.

There are many reviews about this product, and I would like to share mine. My garage is 750 square foot, the ceiling is 8 foot tall. And I am from southern Wisconsin. The walls are insulated. I got 8-2 wiring and 40 amp breaker. Some people recommended to have on-off switch, and external thermostat. I can say that it is not obligatory. When the heat is enough in the room, the fan turns off. I really like the heat. This product performs its functions well for me. The space is warm and I can thaw out my cars. Now I have very comfortable environment even during the coldest nights. And I don’t have to use it constantly which is very cost-efficient.

It has fair price. I would give it 3 stars, if I paid $400 for it. The functions are good, and it gives enough warm to the 500-sw feet garage within an hour. It means that I will have 65 degrees in a while, and I usually have about 30 degrees in the garage. I installed the heater over the work bench, and it points the heat where I stand. And so, when the entire garage may be cold, my working area is warm enough, and for me it is convenient to work there. And then in an hour I will have warm and nice space to stay there.

The item works. I saw many negative reviews about this product, but I can assure you that those reviews are unfair. People complained that it didn’t heat the space. Well, if you do not have insulated walls in the garage, and it is 0 outside, this item will not do the excellent job in this case. You may google how to properly size a heater.

If your expectations are reasonable, this product will meet them. I have insulated garage, and this product produces 60 degrees that are comfortable even when it is zero outside. Some recommended to have a special outlet, and then they wrote a negative review because of that.

If you read the item description, you will see that 2 pole 30amp 240v 6-30 receptacle is needed, and if you cannot read, it does not mean that the product is bad. If you want to have a warm garage, you will need a 240v receptacle. Also, many reviews recommend to use a homemade thermostat. Well, you do not have to do it. You may place a 240v incline thermostat to the circuit. It is not difficult at all. Also, you may find it in the home improvement stores, or on the internet. Yu may also do some garbage that may be dangerous for your house, and it will cost you’re a fortune to fix everything.
