While unfortunately made in China, the heater fan moves a very considerable amount of air where you cannot put anything easily damaged by heat, such as plastic, within five feet in front of the unit. You can use the heater with the wall mount bracket or on a bench top, as the bottom and top of the heater never get dangerously hot, when you allow the heater to cycle itself off afterwards, where it operates as a fan only as it cools down. As a bonus side effect, when saw dust settles on top of the heater, it never burns or smokes.
The first unit I received was very loud, where it had a rattle. At first I thought this might be normal, judged by other views. However, I contacted Dimplex support, who emailed me back two business days later stating that this was not normal. They suggested I exchange it through Amazon, which I did. The second unit I received runs perfectly and is extremely quiet for a heater of its magnitude. The rattle appears to be excessive vibration caused by the fan bearing, where you can observe a wobble. The new unit does not exhibit this behavior.
See the customer images for a front and rear comparison of the Dimplex DGWH4031 along with the supplied power cable. The mounting bracket, while included, is not pictured. Finally, setup is a breeze and the heater burn in is extremely short, putting out very little odor. With an stainless steel element and all steel construction, this might be the best shop heater you can buy dollar for dollar.

Although I was confused by the substitution, I was happy with the price difference and once the heater arrived, I was unable to find any differences between the Oullet model I received and this Dimplex model that I ordered, other than the color. The pictures and specs all appear to be exactly the same. Since it's in my garage and being a Buckeye fan I like anything scarlet, I was happy with the red color and decided to keep and install the heater.
Most reviews I've read on both models complain about the noise level. Well, when I removed the heater from the box it came in, I blew on the fan to see if it rattled or anything, and noticed that one of the blades clipped the electric motor while turning. I simply removed the metal cage, bent the offending blade ever so slightly so it no longer contacted the motor, and re-installed the cage. Easy, but definitely something worth checking before you install it.
This heater requires a 220v outlet (see pictures of what the plug looks like) and since I did not have one in my garage already, I had to install one which I'd never done before. I needed 50 feet of wire, a dual pole 20 amp breaker, various pieces of conduit, a receptacle and a couple of junction boxes. I got pretty fancy with the receptacle (added a weatherproof plate over the receptacle, etc) and total cost to wire up the new outlet was about $70. You can certainly do it cheaper than I did, but be advised if you need a 220v outlet, it will add to the cost of installing this heater.
I hung the heater on the wall using the included bracket, but it came with no screws to attach it to the wall. I went to the hardware store and bought two lag screws, and screwed it right into a stud. VERY sturdy installation, I could probably hang on the bracket if I wanted to.
This heater really pushes a ton of warm air. It is a bit noisy, but the fan blows really hard so I can't really see how it could be any quieter and push as much air as it does. It has a nice dial-type thermostat on the back. It doesn't have a certain temperature that you can set it to, but you can just turn it on until it's as warm as you want it in the garage, then twist the dial until it clicks off. Then, it will click back on and regulate the temperature.
I haven't tested it yet on a really cold day to see how long it takes to raise the temp, but I can tell you that with as much air as it moves, I'm confident it will work great. I'll update this review once I try it in really cold weather.
Overall, I'm very satisfied, but just be advised, if the price drops about $50 and the heater ships from Northern Tool, there's a good chance you'll receive the red Oullet model. But it's a great heater and you'll save $50, so for me it was a win-win!

Just a heads up: it does not include mounting hardware to attach the bracket to the wall. I ended up using some 5/16" lag bolts and that was plenty strong for it. The heater is pretty light (~ 12 lbs).

Top reviews from other countries
This one does a good job heating up my garage quickly after opening the garage door. 4k watts is more than enough for my insulated garage of 280 sq ft. (I used 12 watts per sq.ft + extra just in case).
It can be mounted to the wall or the ceiling which I really like. It also comes with mounting screws for wooded studs.
On a cold start it does take 1-2 minutes to warm up to full heat.
One of the disadvantages is the theromostat. I am not sure how accurate it is. Also it is impossible to set specific temperature, you will have to heat your room to the desired level and then dial it down until it "clicks" to maintain that temperature. Also not sure how the thermostat will behave when the power comes back after an outage. Overall, it keeps the necessary temperature so far.
Overall, I am satisfied, good value for the price.
I don't have 240 directly in my garage but even still this is costs effective since was able to use an adapter + extension cord from the Dryer plug in mudroom (attached garage). If end up moving can take this with me 10 minutes to unmount and pack up.
Here's the cord and adapter using:
AC WORKS Heavy Duty Durable Extension Cord (25FT NEMA 6-20 20A 250V)
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0743L18LK
AC WORKS 30 Amp 4-Prong Dryer Wall Outlet Adapter (To Household 15/20A Oulet)
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0778XN2Q7/
There link takes to place with 6 items have to pick the right adapter see description above.
- Heats a 500sqf insulated workshop to room temp - outside temp 32 deg f
- Easy to install
- Quiet
- uses a 20A/240V outlet
It has a basic thermostat, which works, but would be great if it had temperature settings.
I would buy again.
