Sorry to say this heater was not a winner. It did arrive on time and in perfect condition. However upon first use and every subsequent use there after it was very loud and had a horrible rattling sound like it was going to come apart violently. It also produced very little heat, having another heater similar to this one that works wonderfully, I am aware of what a heater like this should put out for heat. I would not suggest this heater to anyone, in fact i would suggest the Fahrenheat Ceiling-Mount 5000 Watt Electric Heater, Model# FUH5-4. I have had the Fahrenheat unit for over six month's now and it perform's as advertised without a single failure.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This thing is well built. Note that it requires a 240 outlet before you order. But it puts out the heat let me tell you. My son came over and mounted it up about 2/3 of the way up the wall opposite the garage door in a corner about 3 feet forward from the wall and plugged it in. (he did put a support bracket up for the top and bottom of the unit) We fired it up and tho it makes noise there was no rattle and the level's nothing you can't live with and I soon was used to it. It's a bit early for heating here in the mountains of Colorado but we did have a morning low of 39 and this was around 6:30 in the morning before he went to work. Took about ten minutes to heat up the Garage from about 45 to 65 degrees and then we turned it off because it was going to go back up in the 80's later in the day and it wouldn't be needed. So right now I'm pleased with it and this winter when we dip down below freezing I'll give it it's real test and if there are problems I'll come back and redo this review. Right now I can report it's solid, well built, the controls are convenient and the thermostat worked pretty darn good cycling it off when it reached 65. I would certainly recommend this unit at this price point...just remember you need that 240 outlet handy to use it.

Here is my situation:

I love in northern MN. It gets COLD. I have a 30x60 uninsulated garage/pole barn with 15+ ceilings and a cement floor. I made a "bubble" work area 400 sq.ft (20x20x9) using 4mil plastic within the garage. The heater arrived quickly and in good shape. I already had a 50amp circuit but downsized that to a 30amp and attached the correct female receptacle to fit the unit. Very simply.

I have been impressed with this little heater. I do not find it to be too loud, considering it is made for a garage setting. Some days the temps were in the negatives with windchills in the -20's and in my "bubble" the temp was at least 30 deg. I have recently put studs and insulation between joists at 9ft for the ceiling. This has really helped. The outside temps are in the 20's but "bubble" is in the 50-60 range.

I have not used any other garage heater so I have nothing to compare too. I do not run this thing all day/night. For the most part, I run it a few hours before I plan to "work" in the "bubble" and the temps has risen to a workable level for me (35 deg +). Remember, my "bubble" is simply within my garage, no insulation (except ceiling) and is definitely not air tight.

I have only had this for about 2 weeks but I have been satisfied for my application. I will update this post in the future as I use it more, insulate the room, and receive an electric bill.

I would recommend this product, but I would probably recommend the similar RED heater for $30 less. I read the product info wrong on the RED one and purchased this unit instead. Either way, it is doing what I need.

UPDATE: (3/25/13)

I have had this unit a little over a month. I have taken down the "bubble" mentioned in the last email and finished off half of the garage. The area is now approx. 30x30 (900 SQFT). The area is insulated with rigid foam board (R6 in walls R4 board and R11 fiberglass insulation in ceiling ceilings are 9ft). My point is that the insulation is NOT GREAT. The heater is able to heat the entire area about 40 deg warmer than the outside temp. Unfortunately I haven't been able to test this heater when the temps were below zero with the area being insulated. This heater is stated to heat an area 500 sq feet but my area is almost 900 sq ft and it does the job to take the chill out of the area (even with a cement floor). Two of these heaters would EASILY heat my area to any temp (70 deg) no matter what the temp is outside. Remember, I live in a COLD area. I would still recommend this unit. I don't know exactly how much my electric bill went up but it did go up (not an outrageous amount). The only thing I would like to change on this unit would be when you turn it off the fan stops running but the area around the unit is still hot as it cools off could be dangerous if you are not in the room I suspect all heaters are similar to this though.

My workshop has been unusable for the last few years. This year, it is great and I can be productive on weekends! I had a 30 amp plug that was installed for some of my tools so that was not an issue. If you don't have one, you should get one put in for large tools and this heater. It is nice and toasty in about an hour and for a room with no insulation, it is able to keep it warm. I highly recommend this to someone looking to warm a work area.
