BROMICHeating Tungsten Smart-Heat 56-Inch 6000W Dual Element 240V Electric Infrared Patio Heater - White

Well, what would you expect from a 6000w heater? Two 3000w elements throw down quite a bit of infrared. I wouldn't expect to use these for more than maybe 10 feet max and in my outdoor gazebo this has worked well. It's wired to two 30A switches so I can control the elements individually. I also installed a 240v 40A contactor relay prior to the switches that is controlled a 110v countdown timer so the kids don't leave the heater on overnight - which they already had!! You could also wire in a wifi switch instead of the countdown timer to operate this remotely. BTW - this is a MUCH cheaper control approach instead of the the timer switches sold by heater dealers.The Bromic heater is very well made, really nice finish and looks cool. It gives off a pretty good glow at night when the lights are off, but nothing offensive in my opinion. If you're handy with electrical stuff this is a pretty easy install. The only thing I found annoying was the tiny box that houses the 4 hefty element wires (two 10ga stranded wires for each element). It is too small to put wire nuts on if you plan to operate the elements separately. An electrical buddy suggested screwing a handy box on top of the tiny Bromic box and doing the connections in there. Wiring is all 10ga on a 30a 240v breaker.I'd buy another one of these if the need ever arises.

The original one i purchased was damaged but here are some lessons learned. The grommet hole for the wiring housing is not easy/ accessible. I used a uni-bit to drill a straight shot for the mounting bracket.

when you turn on both elements, they both only stay on for about 1 min together and then one element turns itself off. Junk.

Much better than the Infratech Radiant Heaters we tried. Used for outdoors, these work.

Came with broken element, they sent me wrong replacement element and tried to convince me it was right. Turned out it was wrong (could have burned the house down) . Now that it's all installed and working unit does not put out as much heat as I had hoped
