Very dangerous and electric hazard
It keeps blinding all the sudden and turning on and off no matter what setting you trying to get.

    Decent heater/cooler
    So I've had this unit for few months and kicks out heat great and thermostat works great only 1° off. Fan works awesome kicks out air very good only down side is, it is not energy sufficient. But Good product so far

      8,000+ hrs
      Over the course of two and a half winters I ran one or two of these constantly for a total of over 8,000 hrs. Second one just died. They heated my 900sq/ft garage with snow melted around it. Look no further friends. Yes my electric bill was bonkers.

        Better air output than smaller heaters. METAL housing for safety. Yes you can hear it running and I don't mind seeing the coils. Ceramic heaters usually have PLASTIC housings and lower air output in a smaller package. They don't put out any more heat. 1500 watts is the max on all heaters. It has an OFF switch not just a thermostat which will turn the heater on in the lower 60's when turned to minimum.

        This heater is great. I cannot believe the low price for a high quality product. Durable construction along with consistent heating. I would highly recommend this heater.

        After 1 year of use wires caught on fire!
        Very Dangerous! Look at the bad reviews. It started by making a weird sound then red sparks came out of the bottom of the fan onto the wood floors. Thankfully we heard this while we were sleeping. DO NOT BUY THIS! New or Used!

          Make-It To Break Technology
          Heater worked for a year then a plastic connector in the thermostat control smoldered, melted and then fell off. This is the typical type of junk Home Depot sells that gives them the nickname "Home Cheap-O".

            Should've been recalled
            I have one that has a faulty on off switch. Keeps arcing with the smallest of touches. Thankfully, it trips my breakers.

              Stopped after working 30 minute and there was burning smell like overheating. I do not have time to return in festive season now, so would be still returning next week.

              Rebranded Calefactor DQ1409......not good at all.
              It'll give a puff of hot air then the thermostat kicks it off...you wait...and wait....nothing happens. even of fan speed/heat setting 2 and at full heat on the dial it will work for about four seconds tops then switch off again for half an hour. FAIL

                Brought it home...worked ok for about a month then smelled wires burning, huge blue spark came out the back of it before I could unplug it and, caught my living room on fire. Been sick with Covid for 3 months and now they(home Depot) refuses to return it. So I lost the money for heater, money to fix my home and, caught Covid. Wouldn't recommend this heater nor this store!

                  Easy to set up and start using. Did what I needed it too do. Not damaged but it took longer to get here due to weather so disappointed that it was not in stock at my local store.

                  great it heat up a room really well and great settings to place it on for less heat. Fan to move air around the room, low / high heat setting and slow and high blowing wind to push heat around. Light weight and easy to use. I HIGHLY recommend this product. bought three of them. thanks, Cesar

                  Works like a champ, heats up the room pretty quickly and keeps and warms. Will be honest, it can be a bit noisy. Would highly recommend

                  I have bought four Utility Milkhouse heater’s over the last six years. They work excellent in our motorhome. The last one was for my brother-in-law, he loves it.
