Warm and tough little heater. Make sure you have the right plug!
I got this for my husband because he and my son are often in the garage in the middle of winter and it can get nippy there. I admit that I had no idea what it meant that it needed a 240 volt outlet. I thought it just plugged into a regular socket but my husband informed me this needs a special receptacle, one that most people would probably not have in their garage. So be forewarned!
Luckily, despite my ignorance, we DID have a 240 volt outlet (we recently had renovation done and my husband had asked the electrician to install it) and wound up making good use of it. The thing is very warm and even though our garage is bigger than 400 sq. ft, it still kept them warm because it can swivel to point to the area where they're at. My husband likes that it has a thermostat and he's very pleased with it.
I did notice that while it runs quietly most of the time, on occasion, it will rattle. We've only recently had cold weather so I will report more once it's used more...
Nice space heater!
I will start this review by saying that I did not use the brackets that came with it. I used it as a stand alone. I am always doing stuff outside in garage in the dead of winter so I was excited to be getting this item.
I plugged it on and shut the garage door-I have a 2 and half garage size-and came back about 15 minutes later to see how warm it got. I was impressed my garage was so warm and cozy. I did not think it would warm the whole garage but I was wrong. Now I dont have to freeze my butt off this winter when I am outside.
Great space heater!
Perfect For My Needs - Highly Recommended
This NewAir G70 Garage Space Heater is fairly compact (smaller than expected) but does a very good job in our, formerly, 500 sq/ft heaterless kiln room in our small shop. The Kiln room already had the correct 240v receptacles so setting this up was very straight forward using the included bracket.
As noted above our room is about 100 sq/ft larger than the 400 sq/ft rating of this heater, but it did managed to bring the room up to a comfy 65-degrees from about 45-degrees in under an hour.
The heater is generally quite and the little noise it does make is not an issue for use since it is in a work room.
This is a good choice if you have a 240v outlet!
Highly Recommended!
