Our Verdict

This heater is built for garages and workshops. It puts out 12,800 BTU and warms up to 400 sq ft. The 240V system delivers fast, powerful heat for large work spaces.

The wall and ceiling mounting kit is a real advantage. It keeps your floor clear and positions heat where you need it most. The included remote control lets you adjust output without walking over.

Safety features are a serious gap. There is no tip-over protection and no overheat shutoff. Most heaters at this price point include both of these as standard.

You need a 240V outlet to run this heater. Standard home circuits run on 120V and will not work. An electrician may need to install the correct outlet before you can use it.

At $289.99, the price is high for a heater with only one control feature. If you need raw heating power for an uninsulated garage, it delivers. If you want thermostat control and safety shutoffs, look at other options.

What We Like

  • Puts out 12,800 BTU and heats up to 400 sq ft quickly.
  • Runs on 240V power for stronger, more consistent heat than standard 120V heaters.
  • Includes a remote control so you can adjust settings from across the room.
  • Comes with a wall and ceiling mounting kit to keep your floor clear.
  • Fan-only mode lets you circulate air in warmer months without using heat.

What Could Be Better

  • No tip-over protection, a safety feature included on most competing heaters.
  • No overheat shutoff, which is standard on most modern space heaters.
  • No thermostat means you cannot set or maintain a target temperature.
  • No timer, so you must remember to turn the heater off manually every time.
  • Requires a 240V outlet, which most homes and standard rooms do not have.
