Disappointed
I was excited to get the unit but was certainly skeptical of some of the reviews posted here. One even states that it heated a garage from 40 to 78 in ten minutes. I have a fully insulated two car garage just under 500 sf. On a 50 degree day, I ran the unit for 1 hour and the temp in the garage went from 51 to 54 degrees. I either have a defective unit or the reviews being posted are less than accurate.

Not 30amps
I'm not sure why this is sold as a 30amp 4800watt heater. I bought this brand new unit and the maximum output I have been able to get on a 240v 30amp circuit is 10.4Amps and roughly 2400watts. It is advertised as double that wattage. This is with the thermostat set to 99 and fan on high. The circuit power measured 242volts so it's not an issue with the circuit. Very disappointing.

Works fine but the instructions can be improved
This is really more of a wall or ceiling mounted heater than a freestanding/portable heater. It needs a big 30 amp 240 volt outlet which the average garage probably does not have. I had a 30 amp circuit with 30 amp wiring but a 20 amp outlet used for a small TIG welder, so had to install a 30 amp outlet. Small point, but would be helpful: The mounting instructions should tell you to use the bracket to locate screw holes, drill and install the screws, and attach the bracket to the heater before attaching the bracket to the wall because it is difficult to attach the heater to the bracket once it is on the wall. Operation using the remote is a little complicated and difficult to remember. The operating instructions are on page 9 of a 12 page manual. They should be printed on a separate sheet that could be tacked to the wall until they are memorized -- or even better printed on the side of the heater. All the above notwithstanding, the heater works fine. It did not trip the breaker even running at the same time as a baseboard heater in the room above. The manual does not say what the amperage draw is, just that it should be plugged into a 30 amp outlet.

So far, so great.
I set this heater up in my living room a few days ago. It keeps the temperature at a very comfortable level with a nice breeze, with the same noise level as a fan. Much less expensive to operate than the propane gas furnace.

Settings has to be reset after power outage
I have to return heater (unused) because the company’s tech support told me that when there is a power outage, the programmed settings of the heater has to be reset. For my application, that would spell disaster as I bought it to heat my greenhouse. I do not want to have my plants freeze if there is a power outage while I’m not home.

Effective Little Heater
Impressed so far. Ceiling mounted. The unit raised the temp in my northern climate 3 stall garage 15 degrees in a half hour. The fan is a little loud but does a nice job of circulating air. Really like the remote control feature with time and temp settings. Looking forward to winter time project work in the garage without freezing my hands and feet.

Does the job!
This heater heats my 2 car garage with no problem. I like the remote control and the fact you can put it on the floor or use the included bracket to mount it.

Didn't work well for me but support was superb!
I can't say that the heater was all that great, it arrived damaged and may have been done due to to shipping. It looked like scratches from the plug. Regardless, the heater only worked on high and only seemed lukewarm. The return processes was above and beyond my expectations. Ingrid was super apologetic and would accommodate anything. I chose to return the item and that went smoothly. I was hoping that the heater worked as hoped and maybe it was just one of those needle in a haystacks that just didn't work. I'd just have to say that the tech support is top notch.
