I bought this for my outdoor patio to warm our feet. It does a great job of that. I have it sitting on the floor alongside the table. If you need localized heat in a small area, say a12'x12' room maximum, this will heat it very nicely.Pros: The fan-forced air is hot on high! The housing is sturdy, mostly metal. The cord is long enough for most situations. It's a good, small area heater. Best used under a workbench, on a table top, in a small storage room, in the bathroom, small plant room or greenhouse, blowing toward your favorite chair to take the chill out of the immediate environs, etc. It throws out mucho heat for that kind of useCons: There is no tilt capability. The finger bolts only attach it to the frame. The heater is very small, about 6" in the housing. The ceramic element is only a 3"×3" square. This is not a good choice for a large room especially with a high ceiling a garage. It's simply too small.
