Our take
For a garage you heat often: a published 45-135°F thermostat, field-set wattage, a published 208V rating and 5-year element coverage. Owners report it cycling every minute or two, and everything but the elements carries 1 year from installation.
Our default for a one- or two-car garage heated in sessions: 5,000 W with 4,000 and 3,000 W steps, hung from a joist. The knob thermostat has no published range, and like every electric heater here it can't share the garage with gas cans or paint.

Watch out for
Warranty is void if supply voltage runs more than 5% over nameplate or the heater is improperly wired. Not for drywall or paint dry-out; the dust damages the heater.
1-year warranty; after 30 days the heater ships to World and Main freight prepaid. One amp figure covers 208-240V; on 208V the heater makes less heat, and Comfort Zone doesn't publish how much.
