Title: Efficient but stinky
Product review: In terms of what a heater is supposed to do, it does the job. It heats up a room pretty fast. It even heated up a New England garage pretty fast. Why would I want to heat up a garage? Read on.When I first took it out of the box and plugged it in, there was a strong smell of hot paint. Fine, I thought, it's like new car smell. Give it a day or two and it will be all gone.Thirty days later the smell is as strong as ever. One of the experiments we did was to try running it flat out for a while to drive off the smell. We put it in a cold garage and let it run and run. The garage got quite toasty in spite of it being in the 20s outside. But it also got stinky. Nobody will let me run the heater in the house any more. The fumes irritate their sinuses and throats. Besides, the heater also makes fairly loud cracking or popping sounds as it heats up and cools down.Amazon has been kind enough to grant me a refund, which is outstanding customer support, given that it's been over 30 days.
