I couldn't leave good enough alone and bought a $500 Dayton larger unit. IT SUCKS!! The biggest problem is it has a thermostat that won't allow the unit to stay on until the room reaches a certain temp. It takes forever to create heat. I have no idea why they use such a system as you are sitting there freezing and hearing that thing shutting down every two minutes. After about 2hrs it does heat very well. I use the cheapo to get it going than switch over.

I am all into buying USA but those Chinese sure know something about heat. Sometimes I warm up some hot dogs on top of it to feel more patriotic.

Love it!! Now I'm going to have to get out the marshmellows!!
