Dayton G73 Utility Heater
5 of 5 found this helpful Dayton G73 Utility Heater
I am using this in a 400SF attached garage in Cleveland, OH. There is a bedroom above, a 70 year old wood door, two man-doors to outside, a large single pane window and the inside walls are finished but there is no insulation in them. The doors are a bit drafty especially the big car door. The coldest it's been since I installed the heater is high teens to low 20's. I can get the garage to 65 degrees with the heater at it's 2nd highest output level. There is a thermostat on the unit. You have to set some jumpers inside the unit to select the output level. When it's 25-30 outside it runs 60 to 80% of the time. At 5.6 cents/KWH cost is less than 20 cents per hour to run at level 3 running 60 to 80% of the time. That is about 1/5 the cost for the propane heater I was using and the electric doesn't add moisture to the air which is better for my tools. In the morning if the garage is down to 45 or so it takes about an hour to get it back up to 60.
The unit is meant to be hard wired to 220V. I put on a cord like for a dryer and plug it into a 220 outlet. It uses less power than my electric dryer. Build quality is very good and mounting is pretty easy. It's not too noisy though it isn't silent. There is sometimes some vibration of the housing. It's usually the drop door on the bottom and it could be dampened with some foam along the edge.
Granger sells this unit. I found an ebay dealer from CA with a price ($265) that was more than $100 less than Granger. The unit was drop shipped from Granger in two days.
Overall this unit is an excellent match to my garage heating needs. It would probably do fine with a garage that was 50% larger and maybe more if it had good seals on the doors and was well insulated. That makes a large difference.

Excellent, great value.
This is a great cable tester and great value. Works as advertised and a lot less cost than building your own (though there is other value in that process). The intermittent fault test function is super valuable. I wish it ran on 9V rather than 2x AA because AA batteries leak so often and 9V rarely do. However I suspect the 2x AA is needed for the tone generator function because a 9V would go dead too fast. If it has to have AA then maybe the battery cover should be easier to open (without a tool) so you can more easily remove them when not in use. Otherwise you should change the batteries on a regular schedule to be safe from leaks. I have lost some nice gear to AA battery leaks.
Looks like this tester design originated with the Ebtech tester that was USA built and 3x more cost. Did Behringer buy this design and make it there own as they seem to have with some other gear? It's made in China now and is well built and quite sturdy. Might be good if corners were more rounded to protect from scratching or damaging other gear. Mind the corners near those expensive guitars. And some rubber feet would help.
Overall excellent.
