        Junk!
        Ran for 40 hrs and stopped heating on the coldest day. Turns out the compressor vane rotor shattered into 4 pieces. The units fan motor was free spinning but wouldn't turn on when I received it from the crew to diagnose. Connected the motor to power and it worked fine that's when I diagnosed broken vane pump since no air was coming out of the pump head. Best of all right when I was testing everything on the bench the power switch stuck off and with a firm press went crunch and broke.

              Works but loud.
              Works great for heat and fast. Loud high pitch whine sounds like bad bearing or if the box. Thermostat feature works well but blows smoke when it re-ignites for a few seconds. Four stars for reliable (so far) fast heat.

                  DO NOT BUY THIS! absolute waste of my money. Only works when it’s got over a half a tank and very unreliable!

                    Heat up very nicely. But after four days of use, first one doesn't fire up any more and the second one after 6 days of use.
