HEATS UP VERY QUICKLY AND KEEPS ME NICE AND WARM ON MY DECK.We initially got this heater back in March -April. It worked great, was really doing the job and beyond. About 6 weeks into using it daily it stopped working. I submitted my review still loving it but a bit sour as I was hoping it would have more life in it. We were pleasantly surprised as a result of the review we received a replacement one free of charge. Thank you so very much. We love it and what I truly appreciated is that our feedback went to the manufacturer and we received a replacement heater. It is ideal for small spaces and works really well. I use it in my office and it really heats up the place as well as any brand-name heater. I recommend this product w/o hesitation.It works fine but the fan speed is a little less than I expected. Heat output is good, not great.I purchased this for my greenhouse because where I live I'd need a fan during the hot afternoons and a heater during the cold nights. Two problems:- the specs say that it has a thermostat, but there are no degrees marked to give you an accurate reading. It's just a dial, and you have to take a guess as to where to turn it to to get the temperature you desire. With regard to the fan, you would think you'd just set the switch to the fan icon and it would just work. Well, for some reason you have to adjust the thermostat to get it to work. What does the thermostat have to do with the fan?! So, I set the thermostat to about 10 o' clock (again, no numbers as most thermostats have) and it started working. I left it like that, and I went to check on it about an hour later, and it had turned itself off!! i posed that as a question on Amazon hoping the manufacturer would respond but I haven't heard as yet. Maybe I just got what I paid forI bought this for my small greenhouse. Although it does the job fairly well in cool (not freezing) weather, I don’t think it could do the job if temperatures went below freezing.This unit I purchased has stopped putting out heat after only a month or 2. Barely can feel anything coming out of it and I pull it all the way up right by my leg. Spent good money for this thing and it’s a failure! Don’t buy!!!!!!!!!!!!Good heater but not strong enough for a 2 car garage even turned in 30 minutes in advance. I wish it was 25% bigger at leastThis unit is advertised as a patio heater amongst other locations, which implies a good heat output and circulation for a large open area. Unfortunately, the unit was smaller than I expected and the output was correspondingly lower than I needed. For a small unit, it works well but would not be adequate for even a medium patio/porch area.If you have a smallish area, this unit would be fine
