DANGEROUS THERMOSTAT

DO NOT USE WITH 220V The thermostat wiring is not rated for 220V as advertised and will cause arcing and possible fire. I experienced it first hand in my own home. Only use backstab stats at 220 as this is the third time this guy has melted the lead. The only difference between this and the other two brands was that this one actually had an arc flash.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Exorbitant price

Switches off too early

Heater works great when in use. I have it in a 12x16 insulated shed so it should warm up quickly and all is fine for 2-3 minutes then it goes off and the number 88 flashes. I installed an external thermostat - the same thing happened again. I called tech support and they said turn off the temp sensor - not sure if that's a good idea but they asked where it was and they told me it was in the unit - why didn't I think of that . Checked the net and several others had the same issue - removed the…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Useless features

Excellent Customer Service

Let me start by saying that this review is more about the customer service than the product itself. The first one I received was internally damaged and shorted out almost immediately. I called the shop the next day and they sent me a new unit the same day. I use this heater to heat my 25x30 garage and it heats up from 35 to 70 in under an hour. The walls of my garage are insulated but not the roof and every time someone opens the garage door the process starts all over again, so the fact that…

Pros
  • Sturdy Construction
Cons
  • No Automatic

Great heater and great company to do business with!

I highly recommend this heater and the company that supplies the product. When first installed, at high power the heater turned off after 2-3 minutes, at low it worked normally. When I called the manufacturer, on the 2nd or 3rd call my call was answered by someone who was really able to help me. After talking about the issue, I was asked if I would mind changing the board. As the heater was mounted on a solid wire I agreed and the board arrived in 3 days. Unfortunately this did not solve the…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Serious Design Flaws

This heater connected to the recommended thermostat - all correct wiring and installation recommendations used. The heater seemed to heat the room up well and fairly quickly (it was about 40 degrees when it was turned on and it warmed it up to 60 degrees in about 20 minutes). But the heater didn't work with the thermostat. When it hit 60, which we also installed on the wall, it turned on and then I set the wall thermostat to 80 and the heater only turned on when I pressed the power button on…

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

NEVER USE THIS PRODUCT!

First, the heater gets very hot. The output works great. We bought this to install our VRBO. That's why we have people who stay in our log cabin when it gets cold. In Colorado we can see freezing temperatures. The first heater we received didn't give us the exact temperature. I called them and within a week they sent me a new heater. Well, heater number 2 didn't work either. The heater works until it overheats. It turns off and you have to wait for it to cool down and then you can turn it back…

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Something different

I need more (and would like gas) but this was the easiest fix for .

I replaced the smaller 5k cube in my 25x25x9ft workshop with this one. It is partially isolated. It mostly continued when it got very cold that winter. I need more (and would like gas) but this was the easiest solution to install next to the panel. You need a 40A circuit. Don't listen to reviewers who say otherwise. If in doubt, read the instructions. The quality is definitely better than my $150 cube in terms of build quality and fans. The mount is good, except that the instructions say the…

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
