Comfort ZoneElectric Fan-Forced Industrial Garage, Workshop Utility Space Heater, Thermostat Control, Heavy Gauge Steel, Carry Handle, Rubber Feet, NEMA 6-30P, & Overheat Protection, 4,800W, CZ290

I installed this permanently on the wall in my 30’x32’ garage with a wifi thermostat. It’s been very solid. I was concerned about not having a filter, but the blades are still clean and dirt hasn’t collected in the unit at all. The build required a transformer to run the thermostat and the 40a contactor. I mounted that in a Vevor NEMA enclosure to keep everything safe. I have a power meter (search power factor meter) to keep track of power usage. So far, by mid February in central Indiana, I’ve used about 1000khw this winter keeping it at 40 degrees, with occasional 50 degree settings when I’m working in the shop. I can limit use to off peak time of use so it only cost $85 +tax this winter.It only puts out about 4500w, but it will maintain temps 45 degree higher than outdoor temps depending on how windy it is. My shop is really well insulated, with R19 walls, and R21 ceiling.The main goal was to heat the space enough to keep the cars frost free in the morning and to be able to work in the garage on occasion without taking up floor space like a wood stove would do. A mini split was an option, but the $1500-$2000 cost was a barrier. Also, if I decide to work on something in the shop, I can pull up the Honeywell app and crank up the heat from anywhere.The fan is a little loud. Other than when it starts up, it doesn’t vibrate or sound like it’s falling apart. It’s a detached garage; I guess you would be able to hear it if your shop is attached.The 12ga cable doesn't get hot after use, it's only pulling 18a.Don’t hate me, I found it on sale on here for $45 in 2023. the rest of the components were around $125 or so. A mini split would take 12 years to pay it off, and that’s a poor investment.

Works great. Heats a cold garage in a half hours or so to 60 degrees. Might need an adapter to fit 220 volt receptical

It works quite well. It would be good if you could adjust the fan and the heating coil separately but it does produce enough heat to keep 500 square feet quite warm and take the chill off another 200 square feet in my home.

I had to remove thermostat and over-temp switch so I could get the room temp high enough to kill bed bugs. If you can do that yourself then this is a low cost way to kill bed bugs. I bought two units and worked great for my 1000 sqr/ft house. Without the bypass it only got to 105 degrees. With the bypass the walls got to 140 degrees. Each unit requires 18 amps at 240 volts. So I used the dryer outlet for one heater and the stove outlet for the other. I also bought a WiFi temp monitor with 3 sensor so I can monitor the temp of 3 rooms from outside and don’t need to go inside to test the temp. Also connected to a WiFi 110 v socket controller. Hooked up a relay and I can control each heater if the temp gets too high inside. The company is called Govee

We needed heat for an insulated kennel shed and wanted this heater to keep close to 72F into the fall and winter temperatures. First, it is very noisy (like a jet engine). All metal construction makes it look like some steampunk invention from the 1930s. All that is OK but getting it to heat evenly is not. The temperature adjustment has a lot of slack and takes constant fiddling. The shed is either too hot or too cold. And when anyone is working in the shed they tend to turn this off because of the noise. Might be OK for a bigger area that is already noisy and where this unit could be turned on when needed, but we are not happy with it for our installation.

I wish I could review this properly but unfortunately the heater has a different plug than my outlet so I haven’t been able to try it. It looks like it would be a nice heater though. I was really sad it didn’t work for me. I will say that I have had an extremely difficult time trying to return this which is unusual for Amazon. The seller has not responded after 3 attempts so I’m not sure how to fix this. I’m hoping I can get my money back so I can buy a heater that I can use since I don’t have heat in my apartment.

I'm using this in a large 2-car garage space that serves as my woodworking shop. I'm surprised by how wam the shop is after the heater has been on for an hour or so. I turn it on first thing in the morning and after breakfast and watching the depressing morning news, the shop is warm.Others have complained about the noise level of the fan. With all my big machines as a comparison, the fan is only a small background noise. No problem since noise-cancelling headphones work just fine.
