Smart for a garage. with the right approach

This heater seems to be on the weak side in terms of heat and airflow, but I'm really surprised at how well it works in the garage. Of course, for those who use it in the greenhouse, it seems too weak for their use, but I don't always agree with it when it's used in the garage. I am happy. I have a standard two car garage with three insulated walls: side and back. The back wall is connected to the house. On the sides there are external walls that are not protected from the elements. In addition, there is minimal thermal insulation on these three sides and the walls in the garage are dry. My top door is double-width metal with no insulation. That being said, good luck getting your garage temp up to a reasonable temperature in a reasonable amount of time with this heater. you will need luck BUT it is a very useful heater and is best used to keep an enclosed garage at a consistent temperature on hot days and nights. In the garage I was able to keep a constant temperature of 50 degrees at night with outside temperatures in the single digits. Of course I brought it to 50 degrees in the garage in sub-zero temperatures, but at night it keeps 50 degrees even at a temperature of around 0. I don't understand the internal thermostat and I don't use it because it is not calibrated and has no temperature setting marks. Instead, I turn "maximum" (fully clockwise) and use an external digitally controlled thermostat. Around 0 degrees Fahrenheit, the heater runs most of the time, but it actually keeps 50 degrees in the garage. When it gets warmer outside, the heater turns on and off (via an external thermostat) to keep the garage warm. Don't mind keeping the garage temperature around 50 degrees or less in frigid weather, this heater will work. Provided you get into the coldest temperatures when the heater is already keeping the desired temperature in the garage. I mean double garage. I suspect this heater will work even better in a single garage. Make sure you use a programmable external digital thermostat and set the one on the heater to maximum (unless you understand how to use the built in thermostat). USA), this 1.5kW heater running for 24 consecutive hours consumes 36kWh. So for every 24 hours of usage it will cost you about $36 x 0.15 = $5.40 in electricity.
