Dura Heat 240V Electric Industrial Garage, Workshop, Warehouse, Construction Heater, Wall/Ceiling Mount, 12,800 BTU, 3,750 Watt Forced Air Heater, Overheat Protection - Ideal for Garage & Workshop

Works well. Sturdy construction. This thing produces a lot of heat. The fan always runs when powered on, regardless of thermostat setting. The fan is strong and moves a lot of air. While the fan noise isn't deafening it is quite loud and can be annoying. There is only one heat setting (ON). It is not adjustable like smaller space heaters. This unit will draw 4,000 watts. This is far beyond the output of regular household outlets. You must have a 240v 20a circuit to power it. Do not attempt to use adapters to plug it into a regular outlet. At best you won't get any heat out of it. At worst you'll burn your house down.

Edit; See my original good rating below... This is an update. The heater worked great, but failed 15 days after the return window ended. I noticed yesterday that the "thermostat" stopped working. Today it won't heat my building properly, it has a burning smell. It does produce some heat, but I suspect one of the heater coils burned out. Very disappointing. -------------------------------------- I have a 16' x 16' lean-to roof building/shop. It's unattached to the house, it has a steel roof, no insulation and the double doors don't close correctly, leaving from 1/4" gap between doors at top, to a 3/4" gap between doors at bottom. This "Dura Heat 240V Electric Garage Heater, Wall/Ceiling Mount, 3,750 Watt Forced Air Heater" heats it easily. It was 39* outside last night, and was toaster warm in my shop. The power knob that turns it up or down was less than half way and I had to turn it down, because it got too warm. I'm confident that it will no trouble heating my shop when the temp is 20*. I think some of the negative reviews are people getting adapters to connect the heater to 120v outlets. The heater requires a 240v 20a outlet. I only just got this, but if it last at least a few seasons, then I'm very pleased the purchase

I bought this unit knowing it would not heat the 850 sqft. Of my well insulated shot. So here's the scoop. After unpacking and testing on a workench and heat came out I used the mounting bracket to mark the screw locations on the wall and drilled pilot holes for mounting and put in the screws leaving room to mount the bracket. Step 2 I mounted the bracket to the enclosed strap I mounted earlier. Step 3 I hung the unit and bracket on the wall and secured the screws and plugged it in and turned it on. At that time the outside temp had come up from 28°f to 40° f. The shop was 50°f. In 2 hours the inside temp was 66°f. Mind you the ceiling in the wood shop is an average 10 ft. That's why I give this unit 5*s. Heat output is very good even if it won't fry your face 2 ft in front of it. Very safe and adequate. Temp only 3*s as it does not have a thermostat. Only 3*s because I know a lot of people don't know that a garage heater is not a main source of regulated heating. Noise level got 5*s but if you don't know about garage heaters you'll disagree. This one makes the noise of a 20" shop fan. You can carry on a conversation about 3' in front of it and don't need ear plugs. It's easy to hang and use and can heat better than I thought it would. But if you want 80°f on a 20°f day in an unheated 2 car garage, forget it and buy a 20,000BTU heat pump. Oh yes, actual rating is labeled as 3750 Watt so your 20 amp breaker is plenty good between 208 and 240 volts.

This heater interested me because I have a 240v outlet in my unheated garage, which is roughly 800 square feet. The heater comes with a 6ft cord, so while it's portable, and I only have 1 240v outlet, I needed to get an extension cord (5000w used for air conditioner) in order to move it around. The heat output at the heater is lukewarm at best. I would have expected warmer air to be produced with the higher voltage. The fan is strong, and a little loud, but not too loud. I realize my space to heat is more than recommended, but after an hour, the temperature had risen only 4° (44-48). Not disappointed enough to return it, but I thought it would perform better. To take the chill off while I'm working on projects is all I was looking for, and it does that, although more slowly than I thought it would.

Ok, some of these reviews are funny! Needs an adapter because it's a foreign plug, LOL. This needs a NEMA 6-20R Receptacle Outlet. It is 20 amp. Don't expect 30 amp heat. The max is 4000w on this plug. The one you plug in your bathroom is 1500w max. This does make heat, but only so much and the strong fan mask things a bit. Turn it off and hold your hand above it. It is considerably hot. The fan is good though, to distribute heat. I just happen to have this receptacle (outlet) in my garage, and this plugs right in. If you have this outlet, this is all the heat you can get out of it. Just remember, most are trying to heat a garage, and not the Wife's bathroom. 20 amp can only make so much heat. I bought a "used - very good" from Amazon. It was brand new for sure. Probably someone who didn't have a "foreign plug adapter". Was just what I was looking for. Not easy to find this in-between size. Like I said, already had the outlet in my garage.

It’s only 3750 watts, but puts out decent heat considering the high fan output. The fan runs all the time until you turn the switch off. The thermostat just controls the power to the element (when switch is on). I’m using it in our apartment on the air conditioner plug to warm up the house when we get home and then use regular heaters to keep it warm. it’s louder than the in wall Cadet heaters, but it is a shop heater so don’t expect whisper quiet. Overall it seems to work well! Started using it in the shop and It brings my 22x24x9 one window insulated shop up about 10 degrees F in 30 minutes. I like the heater, just wish it was quieter.

Item works great on a 20amp circuit. Heater is more than adequate for my 12x20 garage. Great buy

Buen producto. De buena calidad. Solo me encantaría que pudieran generar un INVOICE para las compras en Mexico

El costo y no fumciona bien

Fonctionne bien, un peu moins puissant que les chauffages mais je voulais le brancher sur un thermostat électronique programable qui sont limitées à 4000w

Great product, well built, but make sure you have the power. This needs 240V 20A outlet. More power then a standard outlet.
