I believe I am satisfied.
It was in the mid 20s here last night - ice on the ground this morning. I put a thermometer on the sink counter top next to the largest window in the shop. It is reading 55.9 degrees right now. The heater is over 20' from this location.
Of course, we'll have to see the electric bill. It is a 1500 watt appliance.
The cord, plug, and housing are all cool to the touch, so I am also satisfied it isn't pulling very much current through either.
When we get into the super cold stuff, I'll move it closer to the sink and toilet area and let it radiate off them.
Right now it is facing the car on the lift - and like Greg was stating - the surface temp on the facing side of the car is noticeable to the touch warmer - so it then acts as a radiant too. Pretty cool.
