Good for the right size of greenhouse
Originally purchased in late 2018, it’s been in use every year to keep my orchids warm. Lately I’ve had it in my 5×6 ft greenhouse and control it with a wifi plug. Keeps my greenhouse from dipping below 60F. Recently it has been tripping the GFCI circuit. Measured coil resistance and it’s approximately 8 ohm. Should be greater than 9.5 ohm. I plan to replace the old one with the same model.Couple things I’ve noticed since I’ve been using it. Does great in a wet/high humidity environment. Electronics are clean with no corrosion. Condensation collects in the bottom and there’s no drain hole. Some rust, but paint holds up well.

Great little heater
I like this little heater in my greenhouse. It’s still working after a month in high humidity. I will say, I wish there was an actual temperature gauge and not just a dial. Because it’s hard to know what you’re setting the temperature at, and it does not have tip over protection.

Well Made and Durable
This heater is worth the price. It provides better circulation than most because the fan is larger than the competition. Itâs sturdy, built well and heavy so it won’t tip over easily. It takes a little longer to reach max temp because the element is encased in metal for durability. Not too noisy. The temperature sensor is on the outside of the case so itâs more sensitive to the room temperature. Itâs a better choice for outside like patio or greenhouse.

Will Not Maintain The SqFt area That Was Reported For This Unit.
Failed In My Greenhouse For Maintaining Heat In Spring Of 2024 Living In Zone 7a Of Arizona…..Lost My Spring Crop And Thought It Was Too Cold For Plants, By Time Got Plants Replaced. No Need For Heather. Dug It Out Of Storage and Set It Up In My Office And It Did Little More Than Heat Area Of About 36 sqft….So Not What’s Claimed In Description…..Too Late To Return. Will Just Give It To My Neighbor And See If He Wants It.

Good Dr. Heater for you greenhouse.
The Greenhouse heater was not what I expected, but was just what I needed for my greenhouse. My greenhouse is 6×8 feet. It is not a typical heater, in that it blows warm air and not hot air. I think that hot air would toast my plants in the greenhouse. We had 22 degree temps last week. I set the thermostat just like the instructions stated. The low thermostat was set when the temps outside were about 45 degrees and I watched the temp maintained between 42 and 48 degrees maintained during the freeze here in Houston. I have a remote temp sensor that I can see in the house. I know….I know, for some of you that is not very cold. Sorry….I am using an extension cord for power and I read the warnings, but what else am I going to do? Since, as sated above, the heated blows warm air instead of hot air, then the power requirements should be less. The heater is using less power to produce warm air and not hot air. An extension cord may not be the best option, but is shouldn’t be a dangerous option. Just be sure that you use a good quality cord and maybe a cord with 12 gage wire instead of 14 gage.I bought my greenhouse to keep stored plants (plumeria) from freezing in the winter rather that growing plants. I have a big lack of storage place formy plants elsewhere. Anyway…I am very happy. Hope my review was a help.

Barely put out any heat.
Did not put out much heat. I sent the first one back for a replacement and they charged me for the replacement. While waiting for the replacement I had to go to local farm store and get a heater. got on for $21.00 that worked twice as good this one. So, I sent the replacement back too. Now trying to get my money back for both heaters. Seller very slow at issuing a refund!!

I was looking for a heater I can leave on 24/7 for long periods, this is the heater very heavy duty fan. It doesn’t feel it puts out a lot of heat but leave it in a enclosed room it reached the desired temp

This was the second unit I bought, the first by a different company, which I returned. This one seems to work perfectly. Ive had it running in my little greenhouse for a month and it works perfectly. Even the set up and thermostat is intuitve and obvious

This little heater does heat my 8 by 12 greenhouse. I have to see how much running this heater will cost me on a monthly basis. But my tomato plants are doing well with the added heat at night.
