Comfort Zone Milkhouse Style Space Heater

A milkhouse style heater is simply the best heater out there. I have tried the cute ones and the big ones and the small ones, and tall ones, they all pale in comparison to a good milkhouse heater. These babies are safe, they turn off if they tip, get bumped, get too hot, and if you just turn them off. They give off lots of heat, have a good blower fan, nice thermostat so you can set it to go on when needed. I have one in the bathroom and love it because you can count on it to keep you at the perfect temperature while soaking in the tub, you don't have to worry about touching it when wet, just set it to the temperature that makes you happy and it will turn off and on to keep the room perfect. They also seem to last forever, I get at least ten years out of one. I've even bought some at yard sales and had them run for years more (never figured out why people were selling them).

I bought this heater back in august for my greenhouse. It was on sale. Been using it for a few weeks now that it’s been cold especially at night. So far it has done a wonderful job keeping my plants alive. It stays on sometimes for several days nonstop. It keeps the temperature at about 60 when it’s 30 outside. Which is good but I am afraid it won’t be enough when the temperature drops below 30. Here’s a tip: I gather all my plants together and set the heater on my step stool facing the plants. Not too close to them though. I do recommend this little heater.

I bought 5 of these heaters. The most significant quality of this particular heater is the safety switch in the bottom of the enclosure. This is a good thing, but pay attention to it. It is far better than the tilt switch on similar heaters I have bought that have a plastic arm on the tilt switch weight that melts, prevents the heater from turning on and renders the heater useless unless you bypass it and that renders it unsafe. You CANNOT get repair parts for any of these heaters, either. The downside is that you must have it sitting on a flat surface. I had one sitting on an uneven surface. The switch engaged initially, but later on, vibrated away from the high point it was on and the heater shut off. Make sure it is sitting on a flat surface. There one disappointment. I have owned MANY different makes and models of this type of milk house heater. The fans in these don't move air as vigorously as the models I replaced them with. That's important because it doesn't circulate heat as well and shuts down before it warms the whole area. The thermostat is a LOT better quality and more accurate than other mfrs and shuts down at a lower temperature. It has a "freeze" setting at 40 degrees marked on the panel. You can set it at this temperature and trust it will come on accurately and unattended to heat an area to prevent freezing. I have some heaters that don't shut down below like 60 degrees. This overheats my storage areas needlessly and eats up a lot of power. So far, I'm very satisfied with the heaters, but would be happier with higher velocity fans.

I now own 3 of these heaters. I use them in the smaller rooms and it heats them up well. I tried it in a very large room but all it did was take the edge off the cold, it never really heated up the whole room. I typically leave it on full blast to heat up the room, then when it's a comfortable temperature, I turn down the thermostat and it will turn on and off as it maintains the temperature. The tip over feature works well, as soon as I pick it up to move it, or I tip it, it shuts off until I stabilize it again. It did have an odor when first running it, so I ran it outside for about an hour, and the smell was more tolerable, then as time went on the smell entirely went away. I find it easy to use, it's not too big, not too small, and looks like a typical Milkhouse heater.

Love this little heater. I freeze at work and this is perfect. Very quiet, no noise at all. Has an automatic shut off incase it falls over. Just plug it in and your go to go. You will need a phillips screwdriver to install the handle

Overall for small spaces like a normal size bathroom this is ok and seemingly built well with metal casing and some plastic handles. It does not warm a garage per say or a 10 x 10 green house. I did however bring the plants and kenneled farm animals in closer together and made a temporary wall opposite of heater to help them through the low temps in the garage. It was warm enough to sustain them but. Still not as warm as expected. I decided to continue use of heat lamp with it Durning night temps. We had an emergency situation with our animals habitats being destroyed Durning recent storms. We bought this as it was a temporary emergent situation. Next year I will look for a larger option. I plan to try it in the camper and see if it would warm that area of space. It didn't work as planned in greenhouse or garage without improvisions.

It is thermostat controlled and has the tip feature that I love since I have cats. The low setting does great for the area of the house I use it in. It turns on and off by itself when in use so it doesn't overheat. Bought a second one as a backup and may buy another. Great product for the price.

Great little heater pushes out consistent heat.

We were using it to heat a small utility room and it worked fantastic!

It's a Metal case and it did worked as it discribe . I used it in my single garage

works great

Excellent pour chauffer ma chambre où j'ai mes instruments de musique, enlève très bien l'humidité

With several hours of use per day the unit stopped producing heat after just over 3 months.
