I can’t say it’s any better or any worse than the rest of the heaters out there - they’re all pretty much the same so far as I can tell. This one works good at the moment and I’m hoping it continues to do so. The instructions are horrible, but I was expecting that. Lean on YouTube for help if you need it. The hardest part of the whole thing is figuring out the controller, the rest of it is pretty straight forward. Otherwise, no complaints. It really puts out the heat.
