Running the same BTU output (20,400) on natural gas would cost $0.21 per hour.
Something to factor in if this is a long term play on your part. 7x more operating cost over nat gas.
Edit: the website says it's a 240V model, so you'd need to run a 240V circuit for this.
"The Heat Storm 6000-watt Wifi Unit is a great solution for any garage, workshop, basement or area where there is not much floor space. It mounts on the wall or on the ceiling and At 6000 Watts this heater will easily heat up your garage, basement or shop up to 1000 square feet. It does need to be hardwired in so you may need to hire a certified electrician to get it installed. "
Probably the same reason baseboard heaters can't use plugs? Of course you can do whatever you want at your own risk and I'm sure lots of people do.

I have it in my cart but it won't go through payment.
Dryers don't come with cords either.

Anyways, 10 gauge wire is sufficient for 30 amps at 240v. 30 amps * 240v = 7200 watts. This heater is rated for 6000 watts. Unless there is a reason for it to draw more than 6000 watts, 10 gauge wire should be sufficient.
Technically, it would work on the dryer outlet that is rated for 30A at 240 volts. It may not be to code but it will work. Just make sure you don't run both at the same time or your breaker will trip.

And I am not a regulation purist.... but if anyone wants this for anything other than personal garage, beware: your dealings with insurance may be smoother if you use certified high power devices....
