DR. INFRARED HEATER DR-PS11024 Salamander Construction 10000-Watt, Single Phase, 240-Volt Portable Fan Forced Electric Heater

I am a Home Builder and I purchased this to host one of the homes I was building because the gas company is having a shortage in Meters plus the basement apartment has mini splits so I won't have any heat until the end. It was darkly easy to hookup. I went off of the recommendations and got a 50 amp breaker and hardwired a 6 4 wire I had extra of directly to the breaker. I'm not sure what some of the bad reviews were about. It works like a furnace warm air but with a big enough fan to circulate it through a fairly large home. I used it on a 2 story hoke plus a basement and it heated the main and upper floor just fine. So about 3000 sf. Obviously the upstairs wasn't as warm. So for the price I would definitely recommend this. It saved me money from the bugger name brand and the larger heater I read you have to use a 100 amp breaker or it trips. I'd like to see if it would run off a standard 8 4 range outlet. My Electrician said it could heat up the wires more and 40 amp might trip.. Update. 3 weeks later have to return . They accepted the return through Amazon. The Hester started sparking and making a noose like a screw caught in the blade. Which is unfortunate because it was heating the basement and main floor really well on a 4300 sf home. The upstairs we had the furnace running.

Works better than expected. Don't expect this to throw a blast of super hot air but rather a good steady stream that will heat an insulated area. We heat a 1000 sq ft area with 14 ft ceilings and this unit has not problem keeping the temperature relatively warm. It can be expensive to run as it does pull close to 40 amps while heating.

I purchased this heater for a small warehouse, 50X20 feet with a 8 ft ceiling. The heater has been on for over 14 hours and it has only increased the temperature by 2degrees. so we had to switch back to the 2 30 amp heaters that we previously used and cost us half the money. I contacted Amazon support and they told me to contact the vendor directly, which they in turn tried to give me a bunch of nonsense about possible improper voltage(which is not the problem) and then said the breaker might be to small(not the case). We have a licensed electrician, the heater states 10000 watts. 10000/240v*1factor = 41.66Amps. and the breaker is 50 amp. and amp read test shows 40.2 amps draw from the heater on each leg. So the problem is not the power. Now they required me to send all my paperwork and said it may only have a 30 day warranty, but amazon states 90 days. I am still waiting....... Also I will mention that the first rep I spoke with from the retailer hung up on me and I had to call back again.

Bought as another option other than using kerosene heat. Doesn't heat my 32' x 32' x 10' wall garage very well. I was tired of breathing the fumes from the 55K btu kerosene heater but guess I will be using it again as a primary heat source. The 10K watt heater produces 171-degree heat coming out of the front. I also used the Fluke meter on the inside coils and saw 550-degrees. I thought maybe the heater was defective, but now I believe it is just under powered for my needs in mild winter weather Texas. It moves a fair amount of air, just not as effective as I need in my freestanding garage. It is built like an army tank but performs more like an army jeep. I had the manufacture suggested A/C receptacle & breaker installed, and purchased the manufacture suggested power cord. None of them are getting hot so that is not an issue. I have waited too long (personal reasons) to send it back, so keeping it to use with the kerosene heater.

I have a propane Mr. Heater furnace that wasn't quite enough to warm up my large garage in the dead if winter, this 220v Dr. Heater unit with a 25' cord does the trick! On a 10 degree day I was able to achieve 65 degrees in about 1 hour, I wish I would have gotten this years ago! One note on this heater- it doesn't come with a plug or cord, they were an add'l purchase, approximately 100 dollars more, so be prepared

Lackluster heat output for the size and energy consumption. Perhaps this heater is better suited for insulated spaces, but for new / remodel construction it did very little to warm up the space to help keep the subs working efficiently. We had to fall back to using propane and kerosene heaters to be able to keep the work going.

I use these heaters on job sites and they are a great substitute for temporary electric heat in insulated spaces.

Works great keeping 2500 Sq ft house warm for sheetrockers 2 floors. Not too noisy and quality seems fair. Only 1 month old no complaints yet. Been running for almost 2 weeks straight
