Customers like the heat produced by the space heater. For example, they mention it heats their garage perfectly, 10 degrees in minutes, and keeps it at a steady temperature. The heater works great, is quiet, and fills up the room easily. That's why it can generate such quick heat. It's sturdily built and the element doesn't get red hot, which is good for safety. The built-in thermostat works well and the temperature can be set to a comfortable working temperature nicely.

But this heater can go from 20F to 80F at just 75% power! A critical improvement for our heat sensitive equipment. Heating cost hasn't increased noticeably either. Also, the heater hasn't given us any issues in about three months of continuous usage.
The one negative we might mention is the temperature control. We're not sure if there is a thermal sensor or if it works off a timer. If you're aiming for a specific temp, you won't be able to do that. But within a 5F range, it works superbly.
Update: Earlier this week I had the opportunity to speak with Mireya in Customer Support at NewAir. She was very helpful in guiding me in both the return process for this unit as well as sending out a replacement unit. I truly hope the new unit works better than the last one. While disappointed with my last unit, I must admit how happy I am with the excellent customer support I did in fact receive from Mireya. Had it not been for her, I probably would have just asked for my money back and purchased a competitor's unit elsewhere. Thanks Mireya, you do a great job!
Second Update: I have now had my new replacement unit for almost one week and I am extremely satisfied with it. It heats up my garage instantly and suffers none of the quality control issues I had with my last one. I can only assume that my last one was defective and not representative of the rest of this product line. I can now say confidently that I would support purchasing this unit again and I am very happy with it. This unit does an excellent job of generating heat in either steady on mode or cycling on and off. It does get rather hot however when cycling as the fan stops and the body heats up. Play close attention to all factory stickers and do not leave unattended for long periods of time, in other words, treat it with respect and caution as you would any item that generates this kind of heat.
Heats my garage up pretty well. Things gonna spin your meter tho, due to its power consumption.
No issue in my application, as I have solar and battery backup. Just don't leave on, and forget. As you will get a huge electric bill. Because of the design, I monitor the heater carefully. Fan pushes air well. So, instead of a blisteringly hot heater, pretty warm are circulates and does the trick.
I already had 240 volt outlet for my Lincoln Mig welder however I had to swap out the outlet to match the plug on the heater. Lowes had it for about $6. I also purchased a wall mounted bike hanger at Lowes for about $6 and used it to hang the heater from. The bike hanger is rated at 50 lbs, has two curvy rods coming from it, is about a foot long and folds against the wall when not in use. The center of the carrying handle on the heater slid onto it nicely.
I read other reviews on here about the lack of a shut off switch on the heater but if you turn down the thermostat all the way it will not cycle on and off. Not sure if the heater would cycle on if it gets cold enough, the power light does stay lit.
As far as noise, someone on here mentioned that it puts out about as much as a box fan on medium. I would agree with that.
Biggest con I have and it is mentioned on here a few times is the thermostat. It is sloppy as most space heaters are. When the heater shuts off the thermostat should be right before the "heater on" temperature, but you can turn the thermostat up almost 1/4" before the heater clicks on. If you are thinking about installing an external thermostat good luck finding one. It requires a 30A 2 pole thermostat. The 30A is the hard part, I couldn’t find even one. Most are between 20-25A. So in lieu of creating a relay circuit from the thermostat to the heater the only thermostat I could find that comes close to 30A is here on Amazon: Dr. Heater Thermostat DR-001
The Dr. Heater DR-001 thermostat is listed at 28A and has a shut off switch. User manual states the NewAir G56 heater draws 23.4A during operations. So given the 80% rule: 28 X .8 = 22.4 (1 amp short of the 80% rule). But if you look at the user manual for the Dr. Heater Wall/Ceiling Mount DR966, that heater requires a 35A breaker and is listed at 3000/6000 Watts. The same user manual also states that the Dr. Heater Thermostat DR-001 is recommended for the Dr. Heater DR-001 heater. The NewAir heater requires a 30A breaker and is listed at 5600 Watts…. Go figure.
For the time being I will be using the thermostat built into the heater. It is sloppy but with enough adjusting you can get it where you like it. Bad thing is to shut it off you have to turn the thermostat all the way down. There goes your fine tuning. But it does work…. A dedicated on/off switch would at least allow you to leave the adjustment alone.
So I thought about installing an on/off switch in the circuit and leave the thermostat alone. I found this one here on Amazon that should work: Leviton MS302-DS 30 Amp
But – if the thermostat on the heater does go out or gets worse then I will be trying the Dr. Heater DR-001 thermostat and since that thermostat has an on/off switch built in then wasting the money on the Leviton switch is not needed.
For now I’ll run it as is, I think the heater is working fine and I can deal with the thermostat issue. Compared to the thermostat on a standard space heater it’s no surprise. All in all I’m satisfied with the purchase although I did take off 1 star for the thermostat.
