The identical heater in yellow is on Amazon for $10 more, so the cost could be competitive, although there are other heaters with comparable watts/volts at a lower price. They may not include the thermostat accessory (it's not necessary to run the heater - controls at the top regulate temperature).Pro:Large open air flow areaHeavy grounded 4 ft cordEasy to grip bar handleControls on top place at an angle - easy to seeFan only featureHeavyCon:The description is somewhat misleading.It's missing a pad on the bottom frame.1.It's heavy/sits low in the frame, possibly because there is no mechanical auto shut off/anti-tip feature.Because it sits so low the heat can only be directed straight forward at a 90 degree angle from the frame (the heat blasts out at ground level). The photo depicting tilt is misleading. It can be tilted if picked up, swiveled back, and then put back down, but that places all the controls BEHIND the handle.2.The descriptions suggests that the heater can be used in a tent, garage, indoors, etc. The vendor relies on using the thermostat with a sensor to monitor the ambient temperature to control auto off. (Dials at the top can control off/on heat when desired temp is achieved - the thermostat isn't needed). Instructions on how to use the sensor are vague. This wouldn't work for some of the suggested uses.3. It looks like the heater could be cleaned by removing screws on the back and wiping it down. It would get dusty in a garage or greenhouse setting, but instructions advise against splashing.4. The IP X4 rating does not make it waterproof. This rating claims that the housing could repel splashing, nothing more.
