How long is the power cord
Asked by Pat January 28, 20195
AnswersThis model has a 6' cord.
is it 110 or 220 volt
Asked by 1976 November 8, 20195
AnswersIt is 220 volts. It will heat a 24x24 garage with an upstairs room as warm as you want. When I was putting up drywall in my insulated garage, I had the temperature around 70 degrees. When I got my electric bill, it was 2.5 times greater than my normal bill. So I keep temp @ 45ish.

January 15, 2021
I have a 10x30 garage shop in SC. No insulation in walls or roof but walls are decent. The heater keeps the shop comfortable in January while wearing pants/sweatshirt. I don't run it all the time, usually just 30 mins before I use the shop. The 240v cord, rather than hardwired in, is convenient as I can move the heater around the garage. It has more BTU than comparable units from other stores.

Just got it and only used it once. Good so...
December 24, 2020
Just got it and only used it once. Good so far. Took our 20’x22’x12’high double wide attached garage from chilly to comfortable in about 30 minutes. Was surprised a small unit could make such a big difference.
This thing does not even heat a mild Florida garage.
December 23, 2020
All the way high it only gets kinda warm, there's no way anything other than high would heat up anything. My 65 degree garage only went up a few degrees, Very disappointed. I blows hard but does not get hot.
Disappointing product
December 22, 2020
Customer review from newair.com
I bought this last year and used it once. This year I have used it several times. It buzzes and rattles due to poor design and construction. Even with the cover taken completely off it still has some rattles It creates a very annoying noise. The heat it produces I would call warm, the fan speed is so high I dont think it effectively heats the air
