easy install, seems to be made well. love the three heat settings all parts were present and was packaged well. upon install, turned on power, turned thermostat knob and bam...had instant heat as I had expected...bring on the cold!! . however, one feature that I wish it had was a delayed fan off to cool the heating coils after use. when you rotate the thermostat knob, the fan shuts down immediately, leaving the hot coils to cool off too slowly. also, the unit I received didn't have a visible mark on the thermostat knob for easy identification of position (easily fixed). overall, nice product for the money

Well made except hanging bracket tilting holes did not mate up with heater. Had to redrill new holes. 5000 watt setting on this heater only puts out the same heat as my old 1200 watt 110 volt floor heater/ But since new heater is 240 volts I'm saving $.

So much easier than installing a gas furnace and vent. Fan creates a full circular heat draft all the way around my 20x20 detached garage. Heats up quickly and I can then turn it down. Thermostat works well. I had a 30 amp welder plug in a good location, so mounted it on the ceiling and used a 10' dryer plug cord. Quick and easy installation. Should have done this years ago. No more freezing with a little space heater.

I recommend knowledgäble HVAC guy to add the external thermostat if you need one. I have high ceilings and wanted to use my mouting system that âttaches to the walls in a corner - no ceiling holes, but two nights of engineering the aluminum mounts. Hester has been set on low since I installed it and let the Honeywell electronic thermostât do the work. Waiting for ã heating bill to begin tuning it for optimãl settings depending on weather. But garage can get hot it works so well.

I purchased this heater to use in a 666 sq ft, 4-car, uninsulated, vaulted ceiling garage. Obviously this is meant to be used in a smaller, more insulated setting. I wanted to try just one first, and then add as necessary. The heater itself seems to be well-built as far as structure, and designed well as far as installation and operation. Including running wiring and building a wall mount (vaulted ceiling so no ceiling studs), it took 2-3hrs to get up and running. In my large uninsulated setting, over the course of 3-4hrs, it was able to raise the temperature from 25*F to 45*F, roughly speaking. In other words, from intolerable to tolerable. Which is about what I expected from it. I think it would do quite well at maintaining a higher temperature if I were to use my propane 'salamander' to initially heat the space. Based on other's reviews and my own experience, there seems to be a major quality control concern in the assembly line for these regarding the fan nut. I was unaware of this until after it was installed, but I'm almost certain I have the same issue as almost everyone else. Before mounting the heater there was a nut and washer rattling around inside. After a semi-thorough check, I figured it was an erroneous leftover. Having read the reviews and after hearing a small rattle when the heater runs, I will be dismounting and tearing it down to install that nut properly. This is both an inconvenience and really a potential danger. For that I've removed a star from the rating. That being said, I will be purchasing another one, possibly two more. Can't beat the price to performance ratio anywhere. Edit from the future: I bought another one, slightly updated since the first. This one had no problems and even runs quieter. Awesome.Read full review
