Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just installed this thing today. I don't know yet whether to be happy or annoyed. The so-called "Owners Guide" is a total joke . . . mostly taken up with the usual warnings about this, that, and the other thing. Absolutely no instructions about how you specifically install this item, especially since I have a ceiling-mount situation. A visit to the website cleared up their recommended clearance issues, etc, but not much more details.
This gizmo is very noisy, and yet, for all the racket, not much heat with not much CFM comes out. I hand-held a typical "garage" thermometer about 6" in front of the heater for a couple of minutes and figured the Outlet Temp to be about 95 degrees, maybe a bit more. Sounds like a bunch, but when you're heating up a 500 sq ft garage, it's not that impressive. In fact, it took 2 1/2 hours for this heater to increase the temp. from 45 deg. to about 60. Not that great; not for all that noise.
I see this "heater" as nothing more than a device to keep my water-based paint from freezing in the winter. If you insist on buying this thing, you can get it online for about 140. don't pay more.
