Our take
Marley's remote-control alternative to the FUH54, with two settings you change from the couch instead of a wattage set once at install. It carries 1 year from purchase with no longer element term.
A good heater for blinds, shelters, camp and outages on 1 lb cylinders, with a low-oxygen shutoff and tip-over switch. A closed garage isn't on its manual's indoor list, and there's no thermostat or fan.

Watch out for
Thermostat range isn't in the manual text we read.
The Massachusetts and Canada version (F274806) ships with a manual that says For Outdoor Use Only; check for F274805 before using it indoors. Not for use in a dwelling home in California, per the US manual. The low-oxygen shutoff does not detect carbon monoxide; run a battery CO alarm listed to UL 2034 wherever the heater runs. Using third-party attachments or cooking on it voids the warranty.
