Yessiree, got er done. I've tried a milk-house heater, small propane heater and a parabolic heater all without much luck. The worst part in addition to being ineffective I always had to step around them which is a PITA in a small shop. The shop is 1/3 partitioned off in a two car garage. One wall is common with the kitchen, two walls are common to the garage and one outside wall with window. All walls are insulated. I direct the heater towards the outside window wall. I suspended the heater so it can be rotated . Many of the heaters I looked at were more expensive and many did not come with cord, thermostat or on/off switch.Those were a bit higher wattage and had to be wired with a cord and plug. This little unit is ready to be plugged in. Just mount a 220 outlet. Temperature was about 45 degrees. With the garage door up and the double doors in the shop open it warmed the shop up to60 degrees in about 15 minutes. Of course it was trying to heat the garage too.
