Great product
This infrared heater works great and heats up very quickly. The heat feels comfortable and direct without making the whole room stuffy. It was easy to install and seems well built. I mounted it in my workspace and it keeps the area warm even on colder days. Very satisfied with the performance and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an efficient infrared heater.

A Problem Free Outdoor Heater
Most people will want to buy this to heat their patio or deck. It mounts to the wall but also could be used on a stand if desired. To be clear, I did not buy 2 of these to heat a patio or deck but to heat 2 outdoor kennels for my German Shepherd Dogs, which I keep outside until it is time for bed when I bring them in the house. Regardless of the brand, no heater of this type is going to work that well whether mounted on a wall or self standing in an open area if it is windy. That is just the way it is. If you have a partially enclosed space which blocks the wind, you will do just fine. Now, the 2 kennels I have are open on all four sides but I have from fall to spring installed wind screens around all four sides of the kennels which are 10 ft x 10ft rectangles and 8 ft high. I have hung the heaters from the ceiling posts of the kennels and they work really well. Very easy to assemble. I have wall mounted heaters (different brand) on my deck and I can tell you that these would mount much easier than the ones I put on my deck. Piece of cake really. The package includes all of the hardware you need. I could mount these on a wall in less than 5 minutes. It took me less than that to hang them from the ceiling of the kennels. What about the remote? It works flawlessly and for my money it is essential, not just a convenience. I do not want to walk up to the heater and to turn it on or off if I do not have to. You can do it of course, but hitting the remote is far more convenient. It is easy to operate, self intuitive. You do not need instructions to operate it. As for heat, it has three levels. Level 1 is 900 watts, level 2 is 1200 watts and leverl 3 is 1500 watts. I find level 1 more than sufficient for temps in the 40s. I do not use it if 50 or above. (these are German Shepherd Dogs not people) That said, I am sure level one would be fine for the 50s for people. Level 2 I use for temps int he 30s. And Level 3 for the 20s and below. I have had the dogs out when the temperature was 5 degrees F and they did fine. Remember, these are infrared heaters, they heat objects not the air. So when the dogs stood or slept under the heaters, they were warm, despite the fact that air was quite cold. I warmly, no pun intended, recommend this product. It is first class in every respect.

Good heater.....BUT
I bought this to add some heat in my shed. When you turn it on the heat is there immediately. Keep in mind that this is direct heat and you need to be more or less directly under it to feel the heat. It will work well for it intended purpose. I am deducting 1 star for the mounting system, that is ridiculous and almost required me to grow a third hand to get it done. There was no template in the box as shown in the video. I will be buying a light hanging kit so I can hang and bring the heat down lower. This is my only complaint with this product.

Perfect::: :::::Heater
Perfect, I’ve used other brands and styles that didn’t work well out that box at times. These are perfect ..Heats fast, Packaged nicely, looks and functions great, I bought 2x for the Garage 😎 Will need 2x AAA battery’s for the nice remote

This thing is great!
My garage is unheated and regular space heaters take hours to heat up the space so I can work, but this thing is amazing! Literally in seconds it heats up *me* and the area I'm working in. I mounted it to a stand so it can easily be moved around to wherever I'm working and am really really pleased with this product.

Doesn’t do the job
For an outdoor heater, this doesn’t really work well outdoors. You need to be right on top of it to feel much heat. I was reluctant to buy one of the standup propane heaters because the ceiling is a bit low and the porch is made of wood, but this unit just doesn’t cut it. It’s well made, installs easily and has held up well, but it just doesn’t produce enough heat. Better than nothing, I guess, but I wouldn’t call that a ringing endorsement.

Well Built
I am very impressed with this heater. I originally bought a different brand because Amazon could deliver it before our outdoor Covid-19 Thanksgiving meal. It arrived on time, but was dead on arrival. Could not get it to turn on and customer service never responded to email. Back it went! This heater arrived two days later in a very sturdy and padded box. I wish they had used something other than Styrofoam because that is not recyclable. The heater case is very stout and well put together. the mounting brackets are easy to use and they came with wall fasteners too. I like the three levels of heat, the timer and the display that tells you the heat level. My only gripe is that the remote is very flimsy. I had to hold the battery access door closed with black electrical tape. No batteries were provided either. (2- AAA) Reading reviews it is apparent that many users had unrealistic expectations for this heater. It is not designed to heat the air in the room. It uses infra-red to heat you only it you are standing in front of it. Works great for me in my workshop as I have it pointed at where I stand at my work bench. I am toasty as long as I stand there. Highly recommended!

Didn't last long!!
Doesn't last long!! Purchased in Jan. '24 and used until March, probably 20-40 minutes and two or three times a week to heat up an area in the pole building where I'm working. I wiped it down and stored it in a plastic bag during the warm months, then used it on a similar schedule/frequency in 2025 and then 2026. It's been well cared for and NOT used a lot. Now, in March '26, the tube has burned out and it no longer works. Disappointed that for this price it only lasted 9 months worth of use!!
