Comfort Zone 7500 Electric Heater

[VinnieCap]

Anyone using a Comfort Zone 7500 Electric Heater?

I just built a 22x36 garage (around 800 sq. ft.) and I am thinking about installing the above heater.

I considered a gas heater, but the heater, installation, propane tank and propane is much more expensive.

This comfort zone has a thermostat ability and remote for controlling it. Claims it will heat 1000 sq ft. It only costs $149. Seems like for that price I could used it for a few years and switch if I hated it.

Thoughts?

I have it. Im using it in a 14x24 office space. It works great. I just wish the thermostat would go a little lower. It will only go down to 68. I’d like to be able to drop it to 50 at night.

I just bought one for an in-progress house project to get me through the Winter. If it keeps the chill off I'll be happy. You are getting a good deal at $149.......

I got mine for $144 shipped from https://www.northwoodswarehouse.com/comfort-zone-cz230er-ceiling-mount-heater-remote-7500-watt

But they are out of stock and looks like they raised the price too.

I have the 5000w model in my 384 sq ft shop and it has worked great.

Any thoughts on a minisplit vs electric baseboard? I know they cost more up front but the operating cost should be similar to NG.

Just an update for anyone interested. My heater is installed in a 35 x 60 house 'shell' while I build interior walls, run wire and pipe and such. ICF walls, 6" of closed cell foam on the entire roof assembly and the little 7500W heater has the temp up to 50° easy.
