Works Beautifully
Purchased to install in my newly constructed 12 x 16 work shed. Installed with the supplied bracket attached to the wall approx 7 ft above the floor. The heater brings the shed temperature up fairly quickly. I have it set so that it will heat the shed area up to the low mid 60 deg range. Last time I used it, the temperature in the shed at the time was 36 degrees and it warmed up to 62 deg in approx a half hour. Purchase price was great as was the timely delivery.

Don't buy this product !!
I bought this 500 sq ft heater for my detached garage. It does not heat even a portion of my garage. Yes, put your hand in front of it and it is blowing hot air but only on the bottom half. The top half barely feels warm. I do not recommend this product for it's described capabilities.

    I would definitely buy this product again.
    Prior to building my home, I had decided to have a garage gym. Also, I store my fishing kayak in my garage as well. After doing a ton of research, I chose to go with NewAir. This heater has made all the difference in the world. I turn it on before I leave to drop the kids off at school and when I get back in 30 minutes my two car garage is toasty warm.

    Awesome Little Heater.
    Bought this just to keep the chill out of my 24' X 24' garage for the winter. Works great! Even in Alberta -30's C. Keeps the air temp above freezing.

    Wood Shop heater
    I have a small wood shop 240 square.ft. The G73 as no problem keeping it comfortable 70 during our Virginia winters. I have not insulated my shop yet so the unit has to work at it & has no problems doing the job. I have my unit on a dedicated 220 controlled by a separate on off switch. The installation is very easy. You can find several good video's on YouTube showing how to install the heater. Would I recommend the G73? Absolutely. Another thing about NewAir is it's customer service. They are Outstanding. I had a unit fail shortly after I installed it, believe me I was not a happy camper. I contacted NewAir spoke with one of their techs (Dennis). I explained what happened, he assured me it was no problem. Dennis emailed me a prepaid sticker. I packed up the unit shipped it back & four days later my new heater arrived. The new unit is up and running, the shops warm again and I am not as grouchy as I use to be. Thank you NewAir. J.C.

    Heats my large garage perfectly!
    I am honestly not sure how old the unit is, at least 5 years. It heats my 24 ft by 24 ft garage quickly. I have been very pleased with it. NewAir customer service is great too if you ever need any parts.

    Powerful little unit!
    This unit is fantastic! Small yet powerful. Can be tucked up in a corner out of the way providing great heat coverage for you average two car garage. No need for a gas forced air unit which requires the installation/connection of gaslines, intake and exhaust ducting which also drives the price up. Last but certainly not least, Newair also has a great customer support team that is very caring, responsive and professional. I would definitely buy another should the need present itself in the future. Thank you Newair, and team!

    Ok
    It does work however, the 700 square foot heat capacity is a stretch. My garage is 600 suare ft and it never shuts off and it o ly gets to 50 degrees. I have r19 i. The ceailing and walls and my garage door is insulated.

    Length of operation.
    I purchased the G73 in November 2019 and used it for 6 months before it quit working. I purchased this one in January 2020 with a additional 2 year warranty. I hope this one works for more than 6 months ( that's why I purchased the extended warranty) Newair did help out with an additional 18% discount. Their staff (Melissa) was very helpful in getting this done. The heater did work very well in keeping the 2 car garage warm while it was working. The problem was the 6 months of use. I could have gotten a bad one at first. I hope this one works longer. Mike MSG.

    Newair G73
    Cons:No wire diagram, made noise on startup (blade was hitting and needed to be bent), thermostat does not turn OFF. Pros: Heated my 1 car insulated garage very quickly. From 40 to 60 degrees in 25mins.

    Installation hints.
    Owners manual should have a wiring diagram and not just a statement about hiring an electrician so you can identify the line, load and commons easily.

    Nice heater.
    I purchased this unit in November 2019. It looked small but I gave it a chance. I do woodworking on my 2 car garage. I set it at approximately 65 deg. I turn on the switch and about 45-60 minutes the space is up to temperature when the outside temperature is between 30-40 deg. and keeps it at temperature all day. Here in Kentucky it can get to single digits and the unit works well. It beats messing around with a kerosene. It was easy to install and wire it up. I would buy this again.

    Heater is Dangerous
    So I'm on my 2nd one of these heaters. Heating wise, they work great, but both have had the thermostats fail and the built in shut off failed as well. The first time this happened the temperature in my garage reached 127 degrees. The second time, this morning, the temperature reached 111 degrees. The 2nd unit was a replacement and I assumed the first issue was a fluke and I was lucky that my garage was still standing. There is nothing like walking into a room that is 127 degrees. The company doesn't seem to be overly concerned, but this should concern anyone that doesn't want a fire to occur. The first unit was inside of 2 years old and the the 2nd just inside of 4 years. The end result is that products can wear out, but the safety features should not fail as these have. Notice the high temp on the attached photo.

    Quietest heater we own
    Tested and reviewed this product on our YouTube channel, White House on the Hill. This heater will help keep our chicks and rabbits warm in our large shed this winter. I'm really impressed with how small and quiet it is. I don't hear it when it's on at all. Takes a little while to heat up, but it does a great job and I love that it has a temp control (Low to High) that turns off when it reaches the desired temp. The tilt on it is pretty great as well... from the corner of the shed, I can get it to point downwards at a pretty good angle to point towards us and the animals.

    LOVE THIS HEATER!! Keeps my 800 sq/ft Garage nice and warm!!
    Love this heater!! I used to have a small forced air electric heater, a propane forced air heater, and I've upgraded to this one. I've read many reviews about them and was somewhat sceptical, especially due to its small size, however you will be impressed by the heat this little thing generates. It is not large or cumbersome, yet does the job. They should have named this the NewAir LittleTank because its that good!!

    G73 keeping my shop warm 2 years now
    I have had this heater for 2 years with no issues. Installed easily. Thermostat works well, I use the heater all day and then I trust the thermostat on the heater to keep my shop comfortable. My shop is 384 square feet fully insulated and it only takes about 45 minutes to go from 30 degrees to about 65 degrees. I would definitely buy this heater again. I also like that I have it mounted about 7 feet in the air so it's not in my way.
