Tradesman Heater

great little heater.installed mine with a double outlet with remote control.keeps me warm when sitting out in my screen pourch.this i not intended to heat the whole area,but great for sitting 6/10 feet away

We bought this Heat Storm heater (an earlier model) and the matching floor stand 11 years ago, for our screened porch in Florida. It has worked flawlessly all these years. An outstanding product. I just cleaned it up today and put it back into service as our cooler weather is approaching. The screws are a little rusty but the rest of the framework is fine. It does a fantastic job of keeping us comfortable on the porch, even in 40 degree weather. How many other products have you purchased that last this long?? The new & improved model looks great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Buy it!

I like this heater, it works better than any I've used before. It feels like being next to a bonfire while it warms up the items in the room that continue to radiate heat for hours after turning the heater off. There's no on/off switch or thermostat but the extra work of plugging it in or out is worth the heat this makes. It mounts fairly easily and the cord is long enough, about 8' or so. You plug it in and the heat is immediate.

I bought the used version at half price. The box it came in was a little beat up, but the heater was fine. One caveat- it does not have an on/off switch. You have to plug and unplug. I understand why- it would have to have a very high temp switch to survive. Easy to mount to a wall, but make sure to follow the spacing limitations.

If you can get it on a good sale for say $50-70 this is a great cheap heater. Puts out plenty of heat, my garage was down around 30F and I could comfortably work just wearing jeans and a long sleeve. No switch though so make sure you can deal with plugging/unplugging when you need it, or order a smart outlet with a remote along with it

I was surprised, I wasn't expecting too much, but these heaters are good quality and quiet. I have a 1000 square foot finished garage, that I use as a workshop and garage gym. No heat or AC. I placed 2 of these in there, one each on opposite walls and so far, they work great. These heaters took the chill out of the air and made it quite comfortable to work out in a sleeveless shirt. It has been down to the low 30's so far, snow, rain, high wind outside, but still quite comfortable inside. I was considering adding a 3rd heater but feel that would make it too warm. I usually have to unplug them if I go beyond 2 hours with my workouts or projects.

For the price (Purchased for $50 and it was originally $108), I cant be mad. I installed this on a pergola outside on my outdoor kitchen. With 2 screws that it came with, I attached it to the top angled down. Its currently 60 degrees outside with a wind speed of 9mph (not constantly blowing). I do not have a jacket on and I'm not in need of one as long as I am under it. I'd say with 2-3 feet in front of it, it puts out adequate heat. Keep in mind, I am completely outside with no walls surrounding me. If it were colder, I would need a jacket. This unit I believe would cut SOME of the cold but not much if its outside with no walls and as long as you are within 2-3 feet in front of it. I have a different heat storm product in my living room that does some damage and I love it. But its inside and takes a couple hours to make my downstairs living room area comfortable. I use my phone to start the heater at 4am and my kids wake up at 6am to get ready for school. Its used to make my downstairs living room comfortable for them in the mornings. Getting back to this product review, in a shed or workshop with a closed spaced, meaning walls, I feel this unit advertised, would excel for the price. It would just take a couple hours. Meaning, don't install this in a workshop at 5pm and expect to be warm by 5:30pm. I'd turn it on at 3pm and start working at 5pm. Outside (in an open space), I'd either get a few of these units or invest more money into a better unit. For my needs, it does the job. I just want a little bit more heat when i'm grilling in cold temperatues outside. I cant be mad at spending less than $100 on a unit to combat the cold outside with no walls when its 40 degrees or lower. Keep your expectations realistic. This unit does NOT have an on and off switch. Once you plug it in, it turns on and starts heating. You may need to have a 3 prong extension cord to add to it. It comes with an 8ft cord that barely reached my outlet. I got the unit that can only be mounted. I had to use my drill with an angle attachment to drill it into my pergola. Took all of a couple minutes to install. It came with screws and anchors which I did not use because I drilled it into my wood post on my pergola. Not having a switch on it didn't turn me away. I didn't care because I can always just unplug it when I'm done. But do not expect bells and whistles with this. You cant connect it to wifi, there is no remote, and there is no switch. For $100 bucks (I paid $50), lower your expectations. As far as quality, I have no issues with it. So far, I've had it on for 5 straight hours and its still producing heat with no issues. Just not as much as I want. It will not eliminate the cold, but simply cut it or pair well with another heat source. In conclusion, this unit does what is advertised. I'm confident it will do very well in a closed area such as a garage, workshop or shed with the right time preparation (start it a couple hours before you need it). I have a heater from the same company in my living room and I love it. It just takes a couple of hours for it to make me feel warm. Plan ahead. Outside with no walls or ways to retain heat, this unit will not live up to your expectations. Which is why you should lower them with this price. Ultimately, you get what you pay for. This unit feels like I paid $100 bucks for it. Even better that I waited for it to go on "sale". If I want more heat, then I will spend more money.

Give it around an hour to warm if below freezing. As soon as it is on you can feel the heat instantly if directly in front of it the heat will disperse. I'm going to get a fan for it to help move the heat little better. For the deal I got especially worth the money! Keeps me working longer

I mounted it on the front porch right above the patio furniture. Nice and warm so we can sit out there on cooler evenings.

Lo instalamos en un baño para darle más calor en época de frío y funcionó perfecto, le colocamos un toma corriente para medir el consumo de luz y es muy económico también, muy recomendable!

El patio en el que se instalo es de 100m2 funciona bien quedo agradables 18 en dias/noches de 2 grados celcius

Bought Heat Storm stand separately and attached to the heater. Works perfectly and steady. As a matter of fact I am sitting outside now in front of the heater. It is very warm even the temperature outside is now 12C. This is sold out at any Home center near by. No wonder why! Great price and great product. Recommend to anyone!

In the proximity of an infrared heater you will find instant warmth as the unit is designed to heat an object first. If you use a conventional electric heater it is designed to heat the air in a room then the people in the room. Infrared heats the object or person it is aimed at first, then the air is heated as the object or person gives off warmth created by the infrared unit. If you have too small a heater the distance from it you can stand or sit will be greatly diminished. There is a tv commercial that shows a person with infrared heater just a few feet away from where they are sitting. optimum distance for small plug in unit.
