Wow Don, that is nice. I showed the photo to my wife and told her winter was coming soon. I sure would like something for my garage. She thought about it for a couple of minutes, walked out and come back with her old hair dryer and a good luck note. Gonna be a long winter at my house...
Maybe if ya bought a hundred hairdryers she'd be ok with it RayQuote:

Very nice Don!
And if the unit has the dehumidify option on it too, it is a bonus if you live in an area that suffers from high humidity. That is something I could use in my garage as we here in NZ suffer from that just about everywhere in this country.
It's got it Mark. Gonna be livin large. next summerQuote:

With my unit in the summer , got to make sure that my wife isn't baking cookies in both ovens and something else of stove top while I'm running a machine or two while parts washer is heating and I maybe do a welding job------sure miss the 600 amps 3 phase at my old shop but home is home
I started with a Torpedo (didn't have a Thermostat), and went from cold to hot to cold again (and, at times, felt like I needed a Gas Mask :eek:)-then I graduated to Electric Heaters (the 1500 watt kind, about 6 of them), and my Wife LOVED our Electric Bills :()-
About two Years ago (or so), she surprised me with a new, oversized, roof-mounted, Gas forced air Heater (this time with a wall mounted Thermostat :cool:), and I've looked forward to Winter ever since-
I live in the second lowest State for Humidity, so this Summer she bought me one of these:
Portacool Classic 16-Inch 3-Speed Vertical | Portable Evaporative Air Cooler | Port-A-Cool Swamp Cooler
I've yet to take 'er out of second Gear (it has 3 speeds), and it will cool my Shop down to short sleeves even when it's 100 degrees outside-:)
We also use it when Guests/kids come over to Bar-B-Q-it's amazing how much air it can move even when it's outside-
Someone round here posted plans for a waste oil heater, cobbled together from an old water heater, looked promising.
At our VFW, we have a lot of waste cooking oil, I'd like to make a little patio heater for our smoke area out back.
The problem with using waste cooking oil heater in your shop would be, you'll always be hungry, with the place smelling like french fries and wings!
