This is a nice cozy heater for small spaces like sheds and garages. I wanted it positioned high so the kids wouldn't accidentally bump into it. Before powering it on, we positioned the heater in an area where the heater had good ventilation to heat up. We powered it on and waited for the heater to warm up. It was an exceptionally cold day, and the garage was even colder, so we didn't stay outside for long. However, we stayed just long enough to feel the heat coming from the heater. I will mention that this heater is quite loud… I'm not sure if that's typical, but it was definitely louder than expected. What I particularly liked was how easy it was to turn the heater on and off with the remote control, and how its cost is budget friendly. It has a lot of great features, like how the coil inside is well-protected, which reduces any fire risk and how it has a rugged-shell. Overall, it's a solid unit, and I believe that if you run it long enough, it will eventually warm up your entire area.

The Newair NGH500GA00 Garage Heater is a great little machine that gets the job done. It's not going to be the end-all indoor garage heater, but if you aren't in sub 30 degree weather, don't have a massive space you need cooled, and are on a budget this machine would fit your needs perfectly. It does a great job warming up a small garage or enclosure, is portable and movable, and won't break the bank.

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.

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.

Comments about Newair 2-in-1 Freestanding or Ceiling/Wall Mounted 240v Electric Garage Heater, 500 sq. ft. with Remote Control

Good product for 500 or Less square feet.

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.

Heater is used in 2 car partially insulated garage that has a ceiling. During 40 degree weather, the garage warms quickly to 70 degrees. Heater is compact and fits on shelf when not in use. Very nice.

Warms 2 car garage from 40 degrees F up to 78 degress within 10 minutes. Great heater!

I have had this heater for 2 months and it heats my 300 square foot garage with no insulation without a problem. I live in a very cold area so this thing is a life saver!!

This heater does a bang up job of heating up a workspace and has some nice safety features like the tip over protection. The fan in the back is a beast, which is good for circulating air, but it's louder than I'd like. Only other complaint is that the temperature setting needs some debouncing as once the heater has the room up to temp it clicks on and off VERY frequently as opposed to cycling every 5 minutes or the like. Ultimately, it heats up a workspace as expected, and for the price is a good deal.
