NewAir Electric Space Heater for Garage | Portable Heaters for Indoor Use | Ideal 240V Industrial Heater for Shop, Shed and Warehouse during Winter | Black

I purchased this unit earlier in the year and placed it away for this winter. Since we just got hit with the first winter vortex of 2014 I was very excited to hook it up and begin heating my garage. Previously I had seen two videos on Youtube raving about how great the unit is and I was very excited to try mine out. Lets just say that for the first 10 minutes it worked like a charm. It heated up quickly and blew alot of heat. Boy was I excited. I did read the sticker at the top of the unit stating that the unit should not be left unattended and it was for commercial use only and to be aware of potential fire hazards. I took all appropriate cautions. Around 12 minutes into using the unit, a loud screaching noise came from the fan motor which immediately stopped working and the unit became scary hot. Good thing I did not leave it unattended or I am sure there would have been a fire! I am pretty upset right now but fortunately still have my Edenpure heater as a back up. I am also happy that I purchased the extended warranty. I would look elsewhere for another heater, this unit left me high and dry.........Grade: F - See notes below regarding updated comments. Update: Earlier this week I had the opportunity to speak with Mireya in Customer Support at NewAir. She was very helpful in guiding me in both the return process for this unit as well as sending out a replacement unit. I truly hope the new unit works better than the last one. While disappointed with my last unit, I must admit how happy I am with the excellent customer support I did in fact receive from Mireya. Had it not been for her, I probably would have just asked for my money back and purchased a competitor's unit elsewhere. Thanks Mireya, you do a great job! Second Update: I have now had my new replacement unit for almost one week and I am extremely satisfied with it. It heats up my garage instantly and suffers none of the quality control issues I had with my last one. I can only assume that my last one was defective and not representative of the rest of this product line. I can now say confidently that I would support purchasing this unit again and I am very happy with it. This unit does an excellent job of generating heat in either steady on mode or cycling on and off. It does get rather hot however when cycling as the fan stops and the body heats up. Play close attention to all factory stickers and do not leave unattended for long periods of time, in other words, treat it with respect and caution as you would any item that generates this kind of heat.

I purchased this heater for my 400 sq/ft garage for use in the cold Iowa winters. The heater itself runs off of a 220 plug, so make sure you have one available if purchasing otherwise you would need to have a qualified electrician install. The heater works great, and has 0 issues keeping my work area warm. The thermostat seems to be sufficient and works as needed. The unit is quiet and doesn’t take up a ton of room. It puts out great airflow and I have no complaints. This is actually the second one I’ve purchased, the first one I accidentally broke the thermostats knob off so replaced with this newer updated version. I would recommend this to anyone who needs some heat!

The heater is either on, or, on with thermostat control. No real off switch. No tip over safety etc. 240 volt, so, puts out a pretty good amount of heat. Be very careful where you place the heater. Heats my garage up pretty well. Things gonna spin your meter tho, due to its power consumption. No issue in my application, as I have solar and battery backup. Just don't leave on, and forget. As you will get a huge electric bill. Because of the design, I monitor the heater carefully. Fan pushes air well. So, instead of a blisteringly hot heater, pretty warm are circulates and does the trick.

We've been using residential heaters to heat our insulated garage in the winter with very little success. At full throttle, day and night, a 1500W 110V heater can raise the temperature from 20F to 40F. But this heater can go from 20F to 80F at just 75% power! A critical improvement for our heat sensitive equipment. Heating cost hasn't increased noticeably either. Also, the heater hasn't given us any issues in about three months of continuous usage. The one negative we might mention is the temperature control. We're not sure if there is a thermal sensor or if it works off a timer. If you're aiming for a specific temp, you won't be able to do that. But within a 5F range, it works superbly.

With this heater plugged in and running full blast our cottage heated up to about 70 degrees F in less than a half hour from minus temperatures.

I was looking for a portable heater for my garage. I was thinking about buying another brand but it would have required me to run a new wire to my panel which would have been time consuming and pricy. Instead I found this little heater. Simply plug and play. It emits heat almost immediately and the fan circulates the heat! My garage is aprox 10x12 and I can really tell the difference after it’s been on for an hour. Great purchase so far!

Buen funcionamiento

I had another 220 electric heater before this one, but it never quite seemed to get hot. I broke down and bought this model, and the difference is day and night. I Have about a 22x22 insulated garage. When its -10 Celsius or so, I can run this for about an hour and it will bring it up to about 15-20 degrees Celsius or so, which is more than warm enough for me in the garage. Its not super loud, and the coil gets nice and hot. Once the garage is warm I turn this off and run a dead silent oil filled radiator, that's able to maintain the temp and makes no noise doing it. Great system!

Heats the garage up very fast! A touch louder than what I thought it would be but still fine.
