You can also run the flame visuals without heat.
I got one in December. The only thing I wish it had was a timer to turn it off automatically after a specified amount of time. I bought a separate timer for this reason.
Overall, I'm super happy with it. Warms an avg bedroom pretty well and the vibe is right if you can't have a fireplace.

Appears no but I am not certain, I think this is a radiant heater that heats by emitting infrared radiation. Most people prefer this style IMO. The issue with space heaters that heat the air is that air moves around and might flow away and take the heat with it. Infrared radiation passes through the air and heats the objects it hits.Spoke too soon, looks like it does have a blower. Example of infrared space heater, with no blower. [bedbathandbeyond.com]

The wall-mounted electric heaters can be wired to a NEMA wall plug that matches the welding outlet. Just verify that the welding outlet wiring to the panel is sufficient to handle a 30A circuit (10AWG) or 40A (8AWG) if you go the 7500-watt heater route. Since I wired my new 24x40 garage to have three 240V 30A outlets, I just chose to buy two 5000 watt heaters instead of one 10k wall unit. The 5k watts are $95ea (plus $17 for the wall-mounted t-stat) versus $350-400 for a 10k watt.
Hopefully I can install a propane heater this summer as it's much cheaper overall. Just saw a 40k btu modern garage heater on FB marketplace for $200. They are usually $500+. A 250-gallon tank from my local propane firm is free lease with the 200-gal year service. It's less than half the cost using electricity to heat. I would plumb in my natural gas if I didn't have three giant Maple's in the way of my garage. That would be the cheapest if all.
