I have this unit in my garage to heat it up when I'm doing woodworking. It's great. It doesn't come with a cord. I wired it directly to a 220v breaker in my subpanel.

100 dollar heater increases your electric bill by 200 bucks a month with moderate use. lol. Buy a diesel heater, propane, NG, wood, or pellet would quickly pay for itself by the lesser running cost per BTU.

I pay $0.288/kwh so electricity is VERY expensive.
The gov't of Maine (?) put out an XLS that has various methods of heating where you can enter your cost, efficiency (if you know it), etc and it will tell you the net cost per BTU. I'm fortunate to have a few different heating methods in my home, so I can pick and choose but natural gas is the cheapest, followed by pellets (and wood is around the same cost per BTU, if I had a wood stove).

Natural gas is the best option for most, especially where electricity is high. I'm building a house now and plan on using an oversized solar setup that would net a significant amount to energy credits from the utility company and also have a propane fireplace in the event the credits run out. Propane here is reasonable.
I also have an waste oil heater in my garage that is insanely cheap to run, I turn away used oil in my area and keep it running all day. a 4k sqft shop take around 20 gallon a day to heat to +60. I wish waste oil was easier to integrate into residential heating.

If running in this a closed environment, like a garage, you'd have to leave the door partially open, so you'd need more BTUs than the electric version since you're constantly heating up outside air. I don't know how the math works out though.

I have solar PPA, which ultimately just means rather than paying $0.288/kwh for all electricity, I pay more like $0.20 or so, but only for what the panels generate, which is very nearly what we consume in a year. I paid like $100 total to the utility over the trailing 12 months, but the solar panels save me around $1000/yr.
