Our take
A sensible in-wall heater for a bathroom, bedroom or office up to about 200 sq ft: 2,000 W on 240 V with a built-in thermostat. The fan is audible, and the 240 V circuit is the electrician's job.
The in-between size, but its low setting starts at 8,000 BTU/hr, so it can't turn down for a small insulated shack. Most people are better served by the Portable Buddy or the Big Buddy.

Watch out for
Hardwired 240 V; a licensed electrician runs the circuit. A 120 V Com-Pak on a 240 V circuit destroys the heater and can start a fire; match the label. Not on the 2000 CPSC Cadet recall list (models FW, FX, LX, TK, ZA, Z, RA, RK, RLX, RX, RW, ZC).
The low-oxygen shutoff does not detect carbon monoxide; run a battery CO alarm listed to UL 2034 wherever the heater runs. Not for a dwelling home in California; not sold to Canada or Massachusetts as indoor-safe.
