Default Shop heater

While the rainy season makes its debut here
in Northern Calif., my thoughts turn to heating
the shop.

I'm thinking of buying the Lee Valley shop heater:

My shop is a single car garage stall so not
large at all. Fall/winter temps range from 55 - 75 most
days from Nov - March, though it could get warmer/cooler
almost any day during the season(s). And no, I wouldn't
need it when it's 70+ out.

Anyone has one of these, liked it, hated it or bought
something else?

Not sure about heating a shop, but I have one in an open shed where my
pecan cracker resides. The radiant heat keeps me warm without trying
to heat the air.

Radiant heat really shines in a situation where you are going to be
mostly in one place and you can aim it at that place. Especially if
you don't want to wait for the whole space to heat up.
