Feedback on Dayton 2YU65 Heater for the Shop...

[zayd alle]

Hello, folks.

I know the Dayton G73 is highly recommended here, but one of these similar models popped up for sale locally. The specs seem similar to the G73, but the price is much higher... don't know why.

I'd appreciate any feedback.

I paid $200 for my 5KW Ouellet heaters from Northern Tool and they are made in North America. Seems to me they should all be about equal in terms of output. The one in your link looks a bit more industrial. One of my Ouellet's has a minor buzzing vibration that is slightly annoying, but I know I could get rid of it with a little tweaking.

Thanks, Bob. I just checked those out at northerntool.com. I can't seem to find the $200 units with comparable output, but the prices in general are certainly more affordable. I'll check those out.

Thanks for the recommendation.
