Taskmaster forced air heaters any good?

Specifically 208/240v Model# HF2B5105N. These any good? I don't have oil/gas to the shop, just electric. These are within my budget, and if I do a larger propane set-up, I have to get the permits and inspections. I already have 240 available, so I'd just tap off that 30amp breaker and lose the outlet.
Currently using propane "tube" heater and the condensation on my tools/car is driving me nuts.

I have the 7.5k in my two car detached garage and love it, no problems in the eight years of use. Just be aware your not going to get hot air just warm.

Thanks. Appreciate it. Same. Detached 2 car 25x20, R13 walls and nothing on ceiling. Highest point is ridge bean 10' high. I think mine is 5.5K. Well, I'll give it a shot. Worse case, I need to wire up 2. As long as it's comfortable (anything above 50), I'll be fine. Not looking to be 70+...LOL

Up date:
I bought and Installed and it works great. However, I shouldn't have been so cheap and should have sprung for the bigger (7.5Kw) model. The heat throw is about 15 ft. Enough to help, but I still had supplement with my Mr Heater Hero propane heater on the far side of the garage.
So I guess I'm going with the bigger model, and I'll just save that one for supplemental and install it when my barn is finished in the next few years.
