I got this to replace the oven knob that snapped off my range. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as the one that broke, just, newer. They should really offer this in a "tarnished" finish since the stark white looks out of place with the other four range knobs that are all a tarnished yellow color.

Still, much better (and cheaper) than the generic replacement oven knob that I picked up from Home Depot.

Got this to replace an old knob that had all the print worn off from cleaning. The old knob had an adjustment on the back to calibrate the knob with actual temp of the oven. This one does not. I'll just have to keep an eye on my oven thermometer. It is also grossly overpriced for a piece of plastic.

Nesco American Harvest FD-1020 Gardenmaster 1000-Watt Digital Food Reviews

I feel confident in saying this Nesco Gardenmaster is a better quality product than the Excalibur 9 tray, both of which I have used. I first tried the Excalibur and quickly realized it took too long and was too cumbersome to be effective and needed a new thermostat after just three weeks. I found myself babysitting the unit, switching trays and drying only during the day when I could turn it off manually. The 9 tray I had did not have an automatic timer and was just a pain in the neck. I sold it on Ebay after two months. I ventured out into the world of dehydrating again after two long years of resentment. I tried the Nesco and was so happy I did. The digital controls offer exact results every time, the automatic shut-off allow you to dry at night without waking to adjust trays or check results.

The capacity is huge with the add on trays offered and the powerful fan dries the bottom tray equally as fast as the top. The top mounted motor keeps drips from causing a clean-up nightmare and the quality of food is excellent. I've dried fruits, vegetables, made pounds and pounds of jerkey and have experimented with some raw food "baking" which all turned out perfect.

I love the Nesco Gardenmaster and suggest you seriously consider it whether a novice or pro. If you are considering an Excalibur, I highly recommend the Nesco as I found it performed substantially better than the Ex,has design features to make your drying easy and fun, and costs about $50.00 less.

I bought 2 Nesco American Harvest Food Dehydrators in 1974. One for me and one for my grandmother. They were used extensively for drying fruits and vegetables as well as making jerky. After 24 years, the plastic became brittle so I thought it was time to replace them. Because the original dryers worked so well for so long, I immediately looked for the same brand. I bought the Gardenmaster plus 6 extra trays because it is the largest model and I dry large quantities. Within the past 2 weeks how long I've had my new dryer I have dried about 8 bushels of apples. Since the tree is still full, I will probably dry that many more before moving into jerky season.

The only complaints I have seen on this dryer have related to concerns regarding "recipies" not listing exact drying times. As an experienced food dryer, I can tell you this is the same no matter which dryer you use. I would be concerned about any dehydrator that stated otherwise drying time depends on the moisture in the item your drying, humidity in the room where you have your dryer, and the amount of food placed on trays to dry. The apples I'm drying right now are VERY juicy so it is taking about 18 hours to dry 10 trays of them to perfection. After you have dried food for a while, you will be able to guess about how long it will take to dry a pariculy batch of food.

This is a high quality food dehydrator that is simple to use because of the digital control and the top heater and fan. I wouldn't even consider a food dehydrator that does not have the top heater/fan. This one does not need to have the trays rotated during use and also heats to the recommended 160*.

I have had my Nesco American Harvest FD-1020 for a year and have used it so far only to make ground beef jerky, but I've given it extensive use for that. I cook the meat at the 160* setting for approximately 6 1/2 hours, but the amount of time varies by the ambient humidity. I set it outdoors to use and when in southern Arizona, if the meat slices are thin, 6 hours was sufficient. In Texas, I have needed to leave the meat cooking for 7 hours. I don't care for the smell of the cooking meat, necessitating the outdoor use.

For ease of cleaning, I recommend purchasing the clean-a-screen mesh sheets for each tray, Nesco American Harvest MS-2-6 Clean-A-Screen Plastic-Mesh Dehydrator Screens, Set of 2. Also, buy at least one additional set of trays, Nesco American Harvest Add-A-Tray for FD-1000, Set of 2. Buy a set of the mesh screens for each set of trays. Only a single mesh screen comes with the dehydrator. Do be careful to order the correct trays and screens for the specific model of Nesco deyhdrator.

I'm the type who wants detailed instructions, and the included instructions are poor. I finally had to dive in and give it a try when I didn't know exactly what to do. After experimentation, for the ground beef jerky, I use one packet of the Nesco Jerky Spice Works, hot and spicy flavor, plus a teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper to 1 1/2 pounds of 96% lean ground beef. It is easy to make the jerky strips using the Nesco BJX-5 American Harvest Jumbo Jerky Works Kit. For 6 lbs of meat, I needed 8 trays, and they were totally filled. Perhaps it would be better not to crowd the slices, but mine has worked OK and I want to make lots of jerky when I'm going through the trouble of making it. I store the jerky is an airtight container in the fridge or in sealed bags in the freezer.

Honest reviews on Nesco American Harvest FD-1020 Gardenmaster 1000-Watt Digital Food

This is truly a set it and forget it machine. Since receiving the 1020 I have put it through many hours of dehydrating. It is quiet, Which makes placing it your choice and not determined by the noise level. I am very pleased that I chose a top heater and blower. I never have to worry about particles or drippings getting into the fan or heater. It has fulfilled my expectations and for me worthy of 5 stars.

The first summer after moving into our new home, the husband and I found ourselves buried under a deluge of fresh produce. Some of it, such as the watermelons, cantaloupes, green and yellow zucchini, jalapenos, green and yellow peppers, and tomatoes (oh, the tomatoes!: Roma, Beefsteak, cherry and grape) came as no surprise, since they were planned, planted and grown in our very own garden. Most of the fruit, on the other hand, was wholly unexpected; when we purchased the house the previous spring, we had no idea that many of the trees in our front yard were of the fruit-bearing variety. The apricots, pears and apples (120 grocery bags full, for reals!), then, came as a shock. A happy shock, but a shock nonetheless.

With the threat of an overabundance of fruit and veggies looming, I hurriedly began researching methods of preserving the extras for winter. Canning struck me as intriguing, if a bit risky for a newbie like myself. Freezing, while quick and easy, brings with it the obvious space and energy limitations. Eventually, I decided that dehydrating the excess food was my best option: safe, uncomplicated and requiring the minimal upfront investment.

Enter: the Nesco American Harvest Gardenmaster FD-1020 Digital Pro Food Dehydrator. After quite a bit of online window-shopping, I finally opted for this make and model. A mid-range dehydrator, the Gardenmaster FD-1020 is one of the pricier models offered by Nesco, and yet it's still less expensive than those made by Excalibur (which, if the Amazon listings are any indication, is the Lexus of food dehydrators). All things considered e.g., price, customer reviews, expandability, accessories the Gardenmaster FD-1020 struck me as the wisest choice: suitable for my needs, without going over the top.

This is my third year with the Gardenmaster; in this time, I've used it to dry a variety of fruits and veggies, including tomatoes, sweet potatoes (for the dogs, natch!), all manner of jalapenos and peppers, apples, and even watermelon (looks like HuFu, yo!). My favorite use by far has been fruit leather (yum!).

Construction: Solid. The top of the machine (its "lid," you might say), which houses the heating unit and fan, is substantial but not heavy. The plastic trays are lightweight but durable; supposedly they're dishwasher-safe (ditto: the plastic base), though I haven't yet tested this. The Fruit Roll-Up Trays and Mesh Screen are (obviously) flimsier since they're designed for use in concert with the trays but have held up well.

Durability: Good I haven't had any issues in the two years I've owned it.

Ease of use and care: With its LCD display and simple design, the Gardenmaster is quite easy to use: push one button to change the LCD display from time to temperature and back again, one of two arrows to set each up/down, and a start/stop to start and stop the drying. (As long as the machine remains plugged in, the digital screen stays on.) Recommended temperatures for fruits, veggies and jerky (here defined as "dried TOFU") are posted on the top of the machine, which can run between 90 and 160 degrees F. Does it get any easier than this?

Clean-up is a bit trickier. Because the machine is so large circular in shape, it measures 15' across I have to clean the trays, accessories and base in a bathtub. (For serious, they don't fit in my kitchen sink!) The Fruit Roll-Up sheets and machine base are rather easy to clean just wash with a bit of detergent and a soft sponge but the trays, what with their closely positioned spokes, require some elbow grease and extra diligence. Air drying is the only way to dry them completely, and can take quite a bit of time and even more space.

Finally, because the machine is so large, it probably isn't the best choice for those with limited storage space. The Excalibur models seem more compact, at least judging from the photos available on Amazon.

Extras: When I purchased the Gardenmaster FD-1020, it came with two Fruit Roll-Up Sheets, as well as one Plastic Mesh Screen for drying herbs and other items too small to rest on the trays. If you're a fruit leather person and/or grow your own herbs, neither will be sufficient. Luckily, add-ons are available: extra trays, Fruit Roll-Up Sheets and Mesh Screens are all sold separately, and for a reasonable price.

I also received a recipe book and jerky spice packet, both of which have sat, untouched, at the bottom of a miscellaneous kitchen drawer since their arrival. (Beef jerky, yuck.)

Value: Not bad. Even at retail price, I think I've more than made my money back in the amount of food I've managed to save through dehydration (the value of my time excluded). Possibly I might have done just as well with a lower-end model, though the lackluster reviews scared me away from those in the < $100 range.

Overall: I'd recommend it!

...Though newbies on a budget might get just as much use of out a slightly less expensive model. Just sayin'.

Good value. It works well, it's light and compact. However it's a bit noisy. I wanted a discreet heater to use in my office, and it's not really quiet. One security feature includes a button under the heater which will turn off the heater if it rolls over. However, it will also turn off the heater if it stand on a soft surface (like carpet) which can be annoying.

Didn't think much about it over the summer, but we just plugged it back in to clean up the RV. It immediately sparked again. This time it smelled like an electrical fire and quit heating. It's in the dumpster.

I am so bummed. I studied so many reviews before purchasing this space heater. This specific heater didn't have many reviews, but from what I read all over Amazon.com, Optimus is a great brand and this heater was very affordable. I only had it for 3 months and saw a little flame and heard a zap (that sounded like a bug zapper) and quickly turned it off. Of course it is past the Amazon return policy, so what a waste of money! I wish I knew how to contact the seller directly to get a replacement. I know that it is beyond the return policy, but they should make an exception for a fire hazard! Very scary. I'm glad I was in the room when it happened so I could turn it off as quickly as possible.

I chose this item because it was a drop in replacement for a wall heater that went bad . The original heater worked great for many years (had been in operation for at least 20 years), so I ordered one that I could install in the old enclosure without having to do extensive remodeling. It fit perfectly! The only negative that I have is that it is a bit on the noisy side (somewhat more noisy than the original), but not unacceptable.

This review is for the 240V dryer. (GE makes two versions -the other version is 120V, and this version is 240V)

I recently bought this dryer because I already had the matching portable washer (which is awesome), and I moved to a new place that has regular laundry connections. The laundry area only has room for a stackable washer/dryer, and the washing machine is top-loading. So I bought the GE "stack rack" accessory and this dryer.

Before buying this dryer, I was using the combo washer/dryer unit that came with this place -a discontinued GE spacemaker unit. The dryer in the combo unit was nothing fancy, but it got the job done, seemed well-built and wasn't overly noisy, and I had no complaints with it.

This dryer is OK but has room for improvement.

Pros:

This dryer seems to dry the clothes well enough. I haven't tested all of the settings or cycles. It has multiple temperature settings which is nice. The design of the lint filter (in the door) works well.

Cons:

In my opinion it makes a strange noise. It has the usual low-pitched hum that you hear from most dryers (not an issue), but on top of that there is a higher-pitched rhythmic swishing noise that reminds me of a washing machine. It's not the clothes spinning around inside that make the noise...it's something in the mechanics of the machine. It was instantly noticable compared to the other dryer. I've gotten used to it, but it's not what I expected. On top of this, the matching "stack rack" that the dryer sits on makes a squeaking noise (see separate review), so overall, drying my clothes is a little noisy.

There's a hard plastic strip that runs all the way around the rim of the opening. There is already a small crack in it. On one side, it's not fully flat against the rim like it should be. The strip has a few notches in it by design, both on the top (facing down) and on the back (facing the inside of the dryer.) The notches feel rough, like they could potentially snag something. There is also a spot at the top, where the strip meets the rim, that is catching stray pieces of lint, hair, etc -which then stick down from the rim and can be difficult to pull out. Annoying! I'm not sure why GE designed it this way. My previous GE dryer didn't have this plastic strip.

Overall, it just seems kind of cheap. The knobs, the design, etc.

The other version (120v) has more positive reviews on various websites. I considered getting it for that reason, but went with this 240V version since I have the standard large outlet in the laundry area. Not sure the 120V would be any different in respect to the issues above.

I'm giving this 3 stars because although it dries the clothes as I would expect, I'm disappointed due to the issues above, as my previous GE dryer (in the combo unit) did not have these issues.

Best Deals on Lifesmart Compact Power Plus 800 Square Feet Infrared Heater w/Wood

I knew from researching that these little heaters were designed to supplement the existing heating source--not replace it-and that results would vary according to various factors. While most brands had similar features, I chose this one for its compact style and good looks. (it resembles an old-fashioned cabinet radio) Like everyone in cold winter areas, the ever-higher cost of fuel keeps one hand on the thermostat and the other on the wallet, and keeping costs down was the primary reason for trying this infrared heater. I wanted to use the heater where we spend the most time: in the living/family room where the T.V. is. My concern was that this first-floor room did not meet ideal criteria: it's part of an open floor plan, has a staircase for heat to escape, lots of windows, and the only independent electrical outlet would put the heater toward the furnace thermostat. My plan was to use the Lifesmart about 12 hours during the day hours (we are night workers) and see if we could feel adequately warm while burning less oil. Here's what I found:

The heater will keep the area a few degrees warmer than your furnace thermostat is set for. You're not going to get an 80 degree room when your thermostat is set on 62. Sunny winter days are the exception--the room's temperature will rise more on those days, and the Lifesmart will actually cycle off. When the room temperature feels comfortable, the low setting will maintain it. (great feature) While the heater is running, guess what's not kicking on as often: the furnace. (cha-ching) There is definitely a cozy feeling with this type of heat, in the room in which it's used. It helps to pay attention on a daily basis to various conditions so you can adjust accordingly from high to low setting, or to raise or lower the furnace thermostat, etc. We crunched a few (kilowatt hours) numbers, but I think we'd have to do that over a few seasons for any data to actually make sense. We used about as much oil as we did last year during the warmest winter on record--and this winter was far colder.

Yes, the second floor was cooler when operating the Lifesmart--no surprise there. Yes, the electric bill was higher, but only about 60 dollars a month in comparison to, say, an extra hundred gallons of oil saved. We chose to keep the thermostat low (64 and even 62) for the savings, but could've kept the temperatues even warmer without spending more than usual. In a smaller area, in rooms that could be closed off, in differenct situations than ours, the results would even be better. The Lifesmart looks good, is light and the filter easy to remove and maintain, and I am very pleased with the purchase.

Buy Danby DAR125SLDD 4.4 cu.ft. All Refrigerator - Spotless Steel

Customer Ratings:

I bought this fridge short notice when a defrosting attempt rendered my last beer fridge inoperable, and I felt a little pressured to hit the Go button on it as my tasty 12oz's of Heaven slowly warmed. But I must say I'm not disappointed at all! It's a great size, looks fantastic, isn't as heavy as I thought it would be, is very quiet, and keeps more than 60 bottles of Sam Adams ice cold and within arms reach with room to spare! My original fridge was a Kenmore job, with a pathetic waste-of-space freezer section (which this does not have) that for some unknown reason Sears saw fit to make the freezer floor out of the cooling element. So of course it iced up like you read about, and I, like many a man before me, took the task of removing this ice seriously (it was encroaching on my beer space as it grew!)...and pulled out my trusty, and ridiculously pointy, pocket knife. So after a bath of freon, or what ever the hell they're using these days to cool, washed over me with a snake-like hiss, I proceeded to slam the door and muscle the fridge out to the driveway where it still sits. Luckily my beer supply was low (it pains me to admit this), so I only needed to commandeer a single shelf in the practically useless "food" fridge as the wife calls it. But knowing this arrangement wouldn't last, I needed a new fridge, and fast. So I bit the bullet after reading a few whiny reviews about ridiculously trivial issues (like not getting cool enough, or damaged in shipping; neither of which plague(d) my unit), even springing for the $4 overnight option (Thank you PRIME!), and couldn't be happier. My pregnant wife likes it so much she's decided to throw caution to the wind and resume drinking. Who could resist pulling a frosty beverage from this bad boy and tossing it back at the end of a hard day? Not this guy! And this fridge delivers with style. Only thing I can think of as a drawback is it doesn't keep the ice frozen, but then, giving up room in it for ice when it could be holding more beer is just ludicrous. This scenario actually makes me shudder to consider.

Summary? Kick-ass fridge for the money and if you have Prime, pay the $4 to overnight it just so you can tell your friends you overnighted a FRIDGE for FOUR FREAKING DOLLARS. Then slam back a cold one for emphasis.

We purchased this refrigerator for our outside entertainment bar because of its size and energy efficiency rating. So far we are very satisfied. It is a quiet and maintains internal temperature keeping everything nice and cold. There are plenty of shelving options as they are all adjustable. The door has 10 can holder slots for beer or soda and also has adjustable shelves for bottles of soda or wine. There is a drawer on the bottom perfect for storing garnishes, cheeses or meats. There is plenty of room in the rest of the fridge to fill as you please. The door really is spot resistent, we are not constantly cleaning it! This was a great purchase; we highly recommend this item.

I had my Danby less than 24 hours before the problems started. I had the thermostat set at slightly more than half (probably 6/10) for the first night it was in use. The next day, I discovered that all of my 6 (expensive!) bottled beers on the bottom shelf (above crisper drawer) had frozen, and 3 of them had burst causing beer to go everywhere! Checked the rest of the beverages in the fridge to see if they were also close to bursting, but found those in the middle & top shelves not even beginning to freeze.

After this fiasco, I set the thermostat to about a third of the way up (probably 3/10) so as not to have a repeat incident. After another 6 hours, the stuff on the bottom did not freeze, but was very cold (great!). However, the items on the top shelf were barely even cool to the touch (not great). I proceeded to do a little test with a refrigeration thermometer leaving the thermostat at about one-third. After 30 minutes, the bottom shelf read 37 degrees. I moved it to the top shelf and waited another 30 minutes, and found it showing 54 degrees! A 17 degree difference between top and bottom!!! Not to mention that 37 degrees is WAY too cold especially when the thermostat dial is set so low.

So it seems that I am experiencing the same inconsistent cooling that at least 2 other reviewers are having. Amazon was great about setting up a replacement delivery & pickup. I am willing to try a replacement before calling this fridge a total failure. The replacement is set to arrive tomorrow, so I'll post an update in a few days. Wish me luck!

UPDATE: Received a replacement, and it had the same EXACT issue!!! Started it off with the thermostat at the midway point (most manufacturers recommend this setting), and placed identical thermometers on the top and bottom shelves. After one hour, the top read 55 degrees, and the bottom was at 30!!!! I am willing to accept a few degrees difference, maybe even as much as 6 or 7 tops, but 15 degrees is ridiculous. I would have to accept the top being at nearly 60 just to keep the lower half above freezing. Am sending this one back also (UPS is gonna hate me tomorrow), and am getting the Haier 4.5cu ft one instead. Fingers crossed...

Honest reviews on Danby DAR125SLDD 4.4 cu.ft. All Refrigerator - Spotless Steel

I got this unit for my office. I've had the unit for about a month. I got concerned with the temperature because the items on the bottom were freezing and the item on top felt warm. I did a little research and found out that the proper temp. of a refrigerator is supposed to be between 34-39 degrees Fahrenheit. Just above 32, freezing, and just below 40, when bacteria can grow. I kept adjusting the thermostat and couldn't get anywhere. So I placed 3 thermometers in the unit, bottom, middle and top shelves. There is a 20 degree different. The bottom shelf is at 25 degrees, the middle shelf is perfect at 37 degrees and the top shelf is at 45 degrees. I've done this for almost 2 weeks trying to adjust the thermostat just right to have the entire unit at somewhere between 32-40 degrees Fahrenheit. Nothing works. Even when it is left overnight and i check it first thing in the morning. There is still about a 20 degree temp. difference between the top and bottom shelves. It appears that there is temp. leakage through the doors or top of the unit due to lack of sufficient insulation. I cannot recommend this unit because it fails to hold a safe temperature, 34-39, throughout the entire interior. It's not safe for storing food that can spoil.

Fahrenheat Ceiling-Mount Industrial Heater 7500 Watt, Model# FUH724

This couldn't have been easier. I chose this heater over a gas model because I had a 220 run right by where I wanted to mount it, but no gas lines even near my garage. There was also a junction box right there that supplies power to my shed (a 2 fuse sub panel for lights and a couple of outlets). My garage is a 2 1/2 car measuring about 34' x 28' with insulation in the walls, but the rafters and ceiling are open. My goal was never to get the entire garage up to 70 degrees and keep it there for the winter, but merely to get it above 55 for about a week so I could finish staining and varnishing the trim work and jams for the windows I replaced a couple of months ago.

My first impression when I picked up the 29 lb. box that was smaller than any computer box I've had in recent years was that there is no way this little heater is going to be able to do the job, but I proceeded anyway thinking that for the price I could get a second one. I ran 10-3 from the junction box down to a wall switch and then back up to where I mounted the heater (with the breaker off). It has very straight forward wiring and simple instructions that were very easy to follow. I flipped on the breaker, fired up the heater, and put it on high thinking that this little guy would probably struggle, but I was very surprised that after about a minute it started cranking out some serious heat. I turned it down about half-way and hung a thermometer at the other end of the garage. The outside temp was around 45 and within an hour or so it was 65 in my garage. I ended up turning it down to low and even with the overnight temp getting into the low 30s my garage has maintained 60 to 70 degrees with no problem.

It's been a little over a week since I got the heater and put it in place and my staining has turned out awesome!

After reading other reviews of this heater, I chose this as the solution for heating my detached workshop.

I had read that the spacing inside was a little tight for wiring the power cord, and this was indeed true. Not a huge deal, but could have been laid out a little better. More frustrating was that the knockout for the 1" access hole was very difficult to remove -much more difficult than in other service panels I've used. One half of it tapped loose pretty easily, but the other half would not even pry out without deforming the side wall of the case a bit A few taps with some body hammers and it was back in shape. That could have been easier, though.

One pleasant surprise I found when reading the included manual is that the unit can easily be configured for any of the following wattages: 3750, 5000, 6250, and 7500. I almost bought the smaller 5000 W unit because I was concerned that my 70 A service to my shop might not be enough to power this heater, air compressor, and other power tools I often use. Now that its installed, it appears to not be a problem, but I wish I had known that it was configurable like this as I would not have hesitated at all buying this bigger unit. If it does trip my main breaker, I can just move a wire jumper or two and lower the heater's power consumption. Brilliant. Of course, it would then put out fewer BTU's, but that's the tradeoff.

In general, I'm impressed with the unit's construction and performance. The fan moves a good amount of air and it fairly quickly raised the temperature of my 864 sq ft shop to a comfortable level. Yes, there are hot and cold spots due to lack of general air circulation, but that could be rectified with small fans in a couple of strategic locations. Using an infrared temperature meter I measured the temp of the floor to be about 47 degrees, objects at mid-height at about 55 degrees, and the ceiling in the middle of the room a toasty 70. That's with the heater thermostat set on one notch above the LO setting (and it's now 25 degrees outside). I'm confident this heater could bring my work space up to 60 or 70 if the thermostat was set higher. I'm anxious to do that test on the next really cold day (has been pretty mild so far this winter). Keep in mind my walls and overhead door are insulated. It would probably not do so well if that wasn't the case. I might consider blowing insulation in the attic space now that I have heat to keep in.

I would definitely recommend this heater to anyone looking for a heating solution for their unheated space.

I needed to heat an un-insulated 2.5 car garage in the Chicago area, enough to do some wood work over the winter months. I picked this model since it was 50% more powerful than the 5000 watt heater that many reviewed. (I knew from on-line heat calculators that I needed as much heat as I could afford for my set up.)

It requires 8/2 wire, with 240v 40 amp circuit. (It actually uses about 32 amps.) I ran 8/3 (since 8/2 wasn't easily available), and installed a 50 amp outlet & cord. (40 amp outlets are not a common size.)

The unit itself is industrial, as advertised. It is smaller than you might expect for 7500 watts. A few suggestions for improvement:

1. Instructions are poorly illustrated.

2. Instructions state that 10 gauge wire can be used for the supply circuit, but 8 gauge is the proper size. (The wiring diagram inside the unit correctly states 8 gauge.)

3. There are two knock-outs for the power supply cable, one on the back, one on the left. Only one of these two is really large enough for a pre-assembled 50 amp supply cord. This will not be a problem if you are instead running 8/2 or 8/3 directly to the unit.

4. The connection terminals in the unit would be much easier to use if not located in the back corner of the unit.

5. Ability to connect remote thermostat would be nice. (Might be possible; if so, not explained in instructions.)

6. Would be nice to have LED indicating that unit is on.

How does it work? Well, I knew that it would be somewhat undersized for my needs, but I have to say I was underwhelmed when I first turned it on--the heat is noticeable only within a very small area directly in front of the unit. The fan is rated at 2x the CFM of the 5000 watt unit, so I expected the airflow to be noticeable more than 10' from the unit.

To illustrate how far undersized 7500 watts is for my needs, I turned the unit on and left the garage door closed and waited to see how long it would take for the garage to heat up. After two hours the snow finally fell off the two cars. 24 hours later the snow that fell off the cars had not yet melted! There wasn't really a huge amount of snow to melt, and the outdoor temperature during this test was not all that cold (about 25 degrees), so even leaving the unit on for extended periods does very little to heat the garage.

Overall, the unit is as advertised but could use some minor improvements. It is not well-suited for un-insulated garages, but that is not a fault of the unit itself.

Honest reviews on Ceiling-Mount Industrial Electric Heater - 7500 Watt, 31.3 Amp

The physical size of this heater is in no way proportional to the amount of heat it produces. Our garage is 18' x 36' with 13' ceilings. There is insulation, but no sheet-rock covering the framing. The unit is hung in a corner, diagonally, 11' high, and 1' from the side walls. It will raise the temperature in the back half of the structure about 10 degrees in 30 minutes. The fan pushes the air out of the corner strong enough that one can feel the air-flow 30' away. Our goal was to avoid installing ducted (ergo expensive) heat with interior and exterior units, yet find a way to take the sting out of the air to the point we could work/play in the structure. If we plan ahead a couple of hours, we can turn the heater on and come back to a comfortable environment. Goal reached and customers satisfied! The only things missing are a digital thermostat and a remote control, the latter of which would prevent me from having to climb a ladder to make an adjustment. I hesitate to mention that because this product is a great value.

Purchased three weeks ago, this heater exceeded my expectations. I have a two car garage without insulation and I am using the low setting to heat up to 60F. The thermostat works perfectly. I am very happy with this product.
