                  It a good portable heater. Note that the wattage will suck up alot of energy so keep an eye for your electric bill. Also before you purchase note that it is not a typical plug. It requires a NEMA 6-20R electrical outlet which is not your normal two vertical prong outlet. VERY important. luckily the area we use it for has the required outlet for use or else we would have been out of luck.

                  So far so good. Keeps a 10 foot wide, 10 foot long and 7 foot high greenhouse about 18 degrees warmer than the outside temperature of 24 degrees F . Not sure of the electrical consumption yet but hopefully it will not be too high. I set it to come on when the inside temperature of my greenhouse reaches approximately 45 degrees. It does shut off by itself when it is warmer than that. It has been in use about two months without problems. I have it plugged directly to an electrical plug. Not using an extension cord. The casing is hot to the touch on the left side when it has been on for a while

                  I really liked that it is Built very strong. Heat is good. As others have reviewed I wish the fan was a higher cfm not a lot of air flow ( that is why only 4 stars ) I really like the unit and we use it in a different room/area ( further in the building with no airflow—because of the low cfm of the fan ). Would buy again for low airflow room.

                  New, but works as advertised so far. Keeps the greenhouse at a relatively steady temperature.

                  Don't recommend
                  I got this just to help keep a few cat shelters in my garage warm, and assumed it would be better than the little house heater I was using. NOT. Barely keeps a few feet warm but it is quieter. Would not recommend!
