Good but loud

The heater works well and was easy to get set up. I've never had a heater like this before so don't have anything to compare it to, but it's louder than I expected. We wish it was a bit quieter.

Works fine but the instructions can be improved

This is really more of a wall or ceiling mounted heater than a freestanding/portable heater. It needs a big 30 amp 240 volt outlet which the average garage probably does not have. I had a 30 amp circuit with 30 amp wiring but a 20 amp outlet used for a small TIG welder, so had to install a 30 amp outlet.
Small point, but would be helpful: The mounting instructions should tell you to use the bracket to locate screw holes, drill and install the screws, and attach the bracket to the heater before attaching the bracket to the wall because it is difficult to attach the heater to the bracket once it is on the wall.
Operation using the remote is a little complicated and difficult to remember. The operating instructions are on page 9 of a 12 page manual. They should be printed on a separate sheet that could be tacked to the wall until they are memorized -- or even better printed on the side of the heater.
All the above notwithstanding, the heater works fine. It did not trip the breaker even running at the same time as a baseboard heater in the room above. The manual does not say what the amperage draw is, just that it should be plugged into a 30 amp outlet.

Warms 2 car garage from 40 degrees F up to 78 degress within 10 minutes. Great heater!

This heater does a bang up job of heating up a workspace and has some nice safety features like the tip over protection. The fan in the back is a beast, which is good for circulating air, but it's louder than I'd like. Only other complaint is that the temperature setting needs some debouncing as once the heater has the room up to temp it clicks on and off VERY frequently as opposed to cycling every 5 minutes or the like. Ultimately, it heats up a workspace as expected, and for the price is a good deal.

Impressed so far. Ceiling mounted. The unit raised the temp in my northern climate 3 stall garage 15 degrees in a half hour. The fan is a little loud but does a nice job of circulating air. Really like the remote control feature with time and temp settings. Looking forward to winter time project work in the garage without freezing my hands and feet.

This heater heats my 2 car garage with no problem. I like the remote control and the fact you can put it on the floor or use the included bracket to mount it.

So far, so great.

I set this heater up in my living room a few days ago. It keeps the temperature at a very comfortable level with a nice breeze, with the same noise level as a fan. Much less expensive to operate than the propane gas furnace.
I would recommend this to a friend!
