Customer Reviews for SAI 1,500-Walt Utility Milkhouse Fan-Forced Portable Heater with Thermostat

This is a great and very durable heater. The reason for the 4-stars, it is very loud. Could be a lot quieter!!!

Using to keep seller dry.

Perfect for my workshop along with a radiant heater being used also

Don't waste your money, but if you do, be sure to save your receipt. If you're lucky, it will break BEFORE the one year warranty expires. Mine lasted 5 months before the thermostat went bad - no clue where the receipt is.

Works great. With the cost of propane, this is a very nice option.

This was very light weight and heats up fast

I don’t know why I keep buying this specific brand heater. They don’t last more than a couple months. Complete junk.

My only problem is that my RV can't handle the load of three 1,500 electric heaters. At no fault of the manufacturer of course.

Excellent heater. Quiet and warms a room well. Bought two additional after my first purchase.

I had bought 2 at the same time came in same box together and both worked but the thermostat on one didn’t work

very low capacity and doesn't warm enough-the air coming out is not warm enough even on max setting. waste of money. will return it.

Inexpensive. Functions. Simple

Very nice pizza room very quickly

I’ve tried them all, this one provides the most robust fan produced heat and lays the longest.

Small but powerfull. Enough yo heat a small room, Bathroom, or utility closet thar needs heat.

Very well made and gives off great heat.

This heater may look small but it is great. It's not our primary heat so I can't say about how well it would heat a full living room. We have it sort of in front of us on the couch and it does a great job of keeping up comfy so we don't have to crank the main heat up so much. Works so well I went ahead and ordered a second one for future needs just in case this one isn't available at some point. That happened with the last one we had, it was amazing but when it finally retired we couldn't find another one like it. That's what led me to this one, it is very similar. I recommend this one. Safety features are great. It shuts off when tipped over and it doesn't get so hot you can't touch it. My boyfriend has actually propped his foot up on the top a few times getting warmed up from coming back inside.

You have to let this thing run for 5 hours if you want to have a tiny bathroom heated in time for a shower. One would figure that it would heat well considering how loud it is. But, it does blow air so I guess it would be a decent fan for the summer? Not a good buy, not even at $20. You'd get better heat if you just lit it on fire and walked away.

This heater is dangerous. The power cord is to rigid and overtime will break at the base of the back unit (as it did mine). It could have caught the house on fire if I were not paying attention. A more flexible power cable would be much better.....

This is the second one of these i've bought over the years. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice.... This one quit working less than a month after i started using it. It started sparking everytime it cycled on then just quit all together. Both this one and the one before had the annoying habit of cycling on and off continually every few seconds once the desired temperature had been reached. Dont waste your money

I bought this to replace a small heater I had in an 8x12 room in the shop, that got stuck on a couple of times. This heater did the same thing, did not shut off and the room went up to 80-degrees. They both have a thermostat knob to set the temperature with and it would get way too hot and not shut off. I went by the 3-strike rule, after the third time over a couple week period that I came into the room and the temperature was way high, I took ti back to Home Depot for a refund. I was only trying to maintain a temp of about 60-degrees in this room, had it set at about the second or third dot on the dial.

It heats our living room area well. It is too loud for my liking. It definitely could be quieter. We are actually still debating on whether or not to return it based on this. It is also a bit pricey.
