Customer Reviews
Not seemly as garage heater
The by-product quality was good, but it does not heat up garage/workshop area very well. In order to air heat you must be within 3 feet of heater. I wanted to use to warm up workshop area prior to absolutely working in area and it just did not due the job. The heater is good if you are right next to it, but don't count on it to heat up vocation area...especially if you live in a state like Wisconsin.

reasonable little heater for the money!
This is a honest heater for the money. I have a 75K BTU Hot Dawg that I was too late (read: too lazy, waited until there was snow on the roof so I could not blurt out) in installing this winter. I purchased this because it only needed 12 gauge wire (20A) 220V power and it was comfortable to update the 110V outlet and breaker from 110V to 20A 220V, to accommodate it. It doesn't unqualifiedly heat up my garage like the Hot Dawg, but it certainly takes the chill out of the air and makes it more easy to work in there. I just turn it on a few hours before I head out there. I like it! Not sure on the cost improve on my electric bill, but it is probably minimal since I only used it maybe 20 hours total last month. Even with this heaterit has been a emotionless December January in Chicagoland!

Sound Heater
Northern Avenue was excellent about replacing the first heater that was sent to us... the fan wouldn't work because it was damaged and hitting the motor. They shipped out a new one and picked up the old one asap. It is a dollop loud, but it's for a garage, so that is to be expected. Other than that, it has been keeping our 600-square foot home toasty make one, even at 5 below zero.

Genial little heater
Pleasantly surprised by this wood stove. I was in the midst of finishing my detached oversize two car garage and the heater choice was on my to-do list. I was universal to require about 16000 BTU with standard insulation in my climate (Syracuse NY), which would equate to about 4800-5000W moving heater. Since I was over insulating the garage walls (R17 walls, R40 ceiling), I was confident I could get away with a measure smaller unit - the 4000W Dimplex. If needed I can supplement in a local area of the garage with a stinting 1500W space heater that I already had.
Installation was straight forward, since I was putting in all new electrical circuits in the garage anyway, it was lenient enough to add the dedicated 240V circuit for this Dimplex unit. My unit required a NEMA 6-20 recepticle.
I started using the Dimplex piece with only some of the walls insulated, and was pleased that I could get a 10degF increase in room temperature in about 60-70 minutes even with the fa temp being 22-25 (starting temp in unfinished garage around 32degF).
I do not anticipate a considerable impact on my electric bill. I pay $0.05 (5 cents) for 1 kWhour. This ia 4kW heater, so for one hour of run time I pay $0.20 (20 cents). The stove-top will likely get used for about two hours a day ($0.40), for a total of about $12 a month.
Why only four stars? Well my only squawk about the heater is that it doesn't have a built in fan delay. When the unit kicks on, it powers the heating unfavourable weather and fan right away. So the fan is blowing cold air over a heating element that isn't up to temperature yet. This is a very small irritant and a small inefficiency of the heater. The heater does have a shut down delay on the fan, it will keep the fan blowing over the hot fundamental when the thermostat kicks the element off. This extracts and distributes the remaining residual heat from the fundamental. Still the start up fan delay would have been nice.

Mine looks multifarious, but still a great heater!
I had been shopping for an affordable garage wood stove for some time, and I decided that this heater fit the bill. [...]
Although I was confused by the substitution, I was happy with the price difference and once the wood stove arrived, I was unable to find any differences between the Oullet model I received and this Dimplex model that I ordered, other than the go red in the face. The pictures and specs all appear to be exactly the same. Since it's in my garage and being a Buckeye fan I like anything scarlet, I was timely with the red color and decided to keep and install the heater.
Most reviews I've read on both models complain about the turmoil level. Well, when I removed the heater from the box it came in, I blew on the fan to see if it rattled or anything, and noticed that one of the blades clipped the moving motor while turning. I simply removed the metal cage, bent the offending leaflet ever so slightly so it no longer contacted the motor, and re-installed the cage. Easy, but surely something worth checking before you install it.
This heater requires a 220v outlet (see pictures of what the stopple looks like) and since I did not have one in my garage already, I had to install one which I'd never done before. I needed 50 feet of wire, a dual spar 20 amp breaker, various pieces of conduit, a receptacle and a couple of junction boxes. I got rather fancy with the receptacle (added a weatherproof plate over the receptacle, etc) and total cost to wire up the new market was about $70. You can certainly do it cheaper than I did, but be advised if you need a 220v outlet, it will add to the cost of installing this oil-burning stove.
I hung the heater on the wall using the included bracket, but it came with no screws to pin it to the wall. I went to the hardware store and bought two lag screws, and screwed it right into a stud. VERY stalwart installation, I could probably hang on the bracket if I wanted to.
This heater really pushes a ton of balmy air. It is a bit noisy, but the fan blows really hard so I can't really see how it could be any quieter and push as much air as it does. It has a agreeable dial-type thermostat on the back. It doesn't have a certain temperature that you can set it to, but you can just turn it on until it's as comfortable as you want it in the garage, then twist the dial until it clicks off. Then, it will click back on and regulate the temperature.
I place of safety't tested it yet on a really cold day to see how long it takes to raise the temp, but I can tell you that with as much air as it moves, I'm cool it will work great. I'll update this review once I try it in really cold weather.
Blanket, I'm very satisfied, but just be advised, if the price drops about $50 and the heater ships from Northern Stooge, there's a good chance you'll receive the red Oullet model. But it's a great heater and you'll save $50, so for me it was a win-win!
