Our take
The longest SoftHeat at 83 in: 1,500 W on 240 V for a larger room. Same silent, steady heat and the same running cost per BTU as any baseboard.
The digital, remote-control Comfort Zone that stays on the same 30 A circuit as the CZ220, if you can find one. We'd pick it over the 7,500 W model for a garage near 500-600 sq ft.

Watch out for
Thermostat sold separately. A 120 V SoftHeat on a 240 V circuit fails; a 240 V model on 120 V makes a quarter of its heat.
1-year warranty; after 30 days the heater ships to World and Main freight prepaid.
