Great product for the price

Great product for the price
I installed this heater in my 8X12 greenhouse, The high setting of 6000 watts is overwhelming so I keep it on the low setting of 3000 watts and it cycles on and off as needed to keep my greenhouse around 75 to 80 degrees. It actually lowered my electric bill due to being more efficient than the 110 v 1500 watt heater I was using before I installed this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well, no problems, easy installation, great price.
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2020
I've had the Dr. Heater DR966 for 2 weeks. It was easy to install and within about 10 minutes of turning it on I realized it would be a gamechanger for my garage workshop (in Montana). The garage is well insulated but was otherwise unheated. Normally when outdoor temperatures dip to zero, the garage temperature drops to around freezing, which basically made it useless for trying to use hand tools with bare hands. The new Dr. Heater puts out plenty of heat. I generally run it at 6000 watts for about 20 minutes and then drop it back to 3000 watts and back off on the thermostat. Then I stay out there in comfort for hours... My only very minor concern with the construction of this unit is that a sharp sheet metal screw sticks into the enclosure for the wire connections. Although unlikely, I figured that it was possible for a wire to come in contact with the sharp screw point and combined with years of vibration from the fan, the wire insulation could erode and allow a short. I fixed this by simply reversing the screw so that the point was on the outside. I would not at all consider that screw a reason not to buy this unit. The general quality seems very good. I'm sure every garage heater has some kind of manufacturing quirk. I chose this unit because I noticed that there were very few reviews describing outright failures, unlike many of the other space heaters on Amazon. I made a guess that because this one was lower cost and simpler that it may therefore be less prone to failure. So far, so good. I currently have complete confidence in what I've bought. As far as wiring, I noticed 10 gauge wiring in the unit. I already had approximately 15 feet of 10 gauge AWG coming from my circuit box and a 30A 240V breaker. I've used this heater a lot the last 2 weeks without tripping the circuit breaker or heating up the wiring. Would I buy it again???: YES. P.S.: I made the effort to give you a thorough review because I literally read about 100 outstanding reviews about this and other space heaters.
