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 20x15 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.
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.

*by M***S on 10 November 2012*

I have a 500sq Ft garage that I have used this heater to heat. We are now below freezing and it is still working well. It blows out nice hot air but not so hot that it would burn you if you placed your hand right in front. The element does not glow red like some other heaters of this type yet it heats the room quite quickly in the morning then keeps it warm all day. The red switch is for the fan and is auto or on. In auto it turns the fan on when heat is required. The fan is a bit loud but it does not run all the time and is off far more than it is on in my application. The knob is the temperature adjustment. It works OK and once set does not have to be changed until it is turned off. I find I put the knob in about the three quarters of full scale to maintain a comfortable 70 degrees. The price is just right for what it does and how it works. One improvement would be a delay in the fan so the warm air would continue to blow when the demand is reached, instead the fan and the element turn off at the same time which is a bit of a waste of heat. While not cool to the touch when running it is not hot either. Glad I got it.
