I honestly am not that happy with the unit but now that is it installed I will keep it, if it dies I will get the Fahrenheit unit. The hanging bracket is a little flimsy. The built in thermostat is ok. You can turn it off on the thermostat if you turn it all the way counter-clockwise, so no need to use the breaker.
Now for the heat. We are having a very mild winter in PA and I have never put it on low. It is always on high. The fan is fairly quiet. It does not throw the air far at all, maybe 8 feet and that is being generous. I feel it should cook you at 3 feet if you stand there for a minute but it doesn't. It is like a powerful hair dryer. It does get the garage to 65-70 degrees after 30 minutes when it is 40 degrees in the garage. I feel as if it should do it faster and maintain it better for the amount of power getting to the unit. You really should mount this unit near your main working area. It is 10-15 degrees colder on the opposite side of the garage.
The coils after running for 15 minutes or so reach 320 degrees, as tested with infared temp gun. I feel like it should get hotter. I called the company to verify if the temperature at the coils is correct. They couldn't answer the question and said no one has ever asked. They asked the tech department and they didn't know the answer. They said they would call me back with an answer. They never did. I called back a week later and they quickly answered yes to get me off the phone. No too happy about that.
It does work better than my kerosene heater without the bad smell and costs less to use. It does not work better than my small propane jet heater, but is more quiet and doesn't need venting. So far the cost to run the heater is between $10-$30 a month. It's nice not to have to run out and get propane and kerosene. Overall, I am happy I switched to electric, I just wish the unit performed better but maybe I am expecting too much.
