We were looking for a small heater for our RV to take the chill off without having to run our furnace. This is a perfect little heater for us! It is small. Doesn't have a metal grate or any exterior metal parts that get hot. It is quiet! The heating elements never get hot enough to glow red. The "smart" thermostat controls the level of heat produced by the element and the speed of the fan. This little guy can put out up to 5,120 BTU at 1,500 watts. It has tip-over protection and a double level of overheat protection. We have a little RV dog and these features make it a very safe heater to have in our RV and we felt good about it being made in Canada! We can't yet comment on durability at this time.

It's tiny! When the package arrived, I thought it was far too small. I'd had another model that was already small and that one was about 50% larger. However, if I place the heater near where I'm working, it puts out a gentle stream of warmth that feels so good!Best Deals for Seabreeze SF6000TA "Contempro"® 1500w Heater with "ThermaFlo"?
Wow. What a piece of junk. Now I know never to trust a handful of 'glowing' reviews. Dreadful purchase, this is going straight back to Amazon.First of all, the packaging was awful (shipped by Amazon, who are usually much better), the retail box had been taped all around and shipped without double boxing, and with UPS's handling, didn't arrive in very good shape. I immediately began to wonder if someone had already returned this item before me, and that wouldn't surprise me. They most likely took it out of the box, plugged it in, realized what an overpriced piece of absolute junk this is, put it right back in the box and returned it immediately too, just as I am about to.
It is small, and very lightweight, all plastic. It tips over very easily then does not automatically shut off, probably a terrible fire hazard.
It has a fan which blows air EXTREMELY NOISILY. There is an on/off switch, and one simple dial for "Lo" and Hi", which controls the fan level, but not sure if it also controls the heating coil levels. Those coils, but the way, look like they belong in an old pop-up toaster, and are very flimsy looking. Even at it's lowest setting the fan is very noisy. And at medium, forget it, it's absurdly noisy, and rattly too, making one wonder if they are being "punked", or on "candid camera". Seriously, is this a joke??
When on it smells like dust burning. From the coils, no doubt. I have no idea if that would dissipate over time. I couldn't listen to this thing for more than one minute.
If I had bought this for ten or twenty dollars, USED, at a yard sale, I'd say I got what you paid for, and then donate it to the needy. But for the price this thing cost, no way, it's going back for an exchange for a different kind of heater.
If you work in an extremely noisy shop or garage, where you can barely hear yourself think, and just need to warm your toes with this thing under your desk, then it might be alright, but again, probably only if it cost ten or twenty dollars.
Look elsewhere.
