The TPI Corporation HF685TC fan forced portable heater is a 680 series heater that has a forced air fan that distributes and circulates heat through a room, providing temperature rise to 58 degrees F. The steel housing is powder-coated for resistance to corrosion and has a handle for portability, as well as a swivel base for mounting to a wall, floor, or ceiling. The finned tubular steel heating element helps draw air flow and discharge heat, and the fan moves air at 262 cubic feet per minute, with an air throw distance of 10’. The heater includes a thermostat for adjustable temperature control from 35 to 85 degrees F, as well as an internal manual reset thermal cutout switch for overheat protection. The single-phase wiring operates on either a 240V circuit at 4.8kW, or a 208V circuit at 3.6kW. The unit weighs 20 lb., includes a 6’ power cord with a molded NEMA plug, and is compliant to standards for use in the United States and Canada by United Laboratories (UL). Electric heaters generate warmth through a central heating element that is housed in a reflective enclosure that concentrates the energy produced. An element made of a combination of metals produces heat or infrared energy by the electrical resistance created when an electric current passes through it. Fan-forced heaters pass air over the heating element to expel heat from the enclosure for greater throw and circulation. Radiant heaters do not use a fan, but warm nearby objects through energy transfer. A heater’s voltage and wiring should be matched to the electrical circuit where it is to be used. Heaters are used in a range of commercial applications that include shop floors, construction sites, and industrial buildings. All local electrical codes should be followed when installing permanent mounted electric heating equipment. TPI Corporation manufactures industrial and commercial electrical heaters, process heat ovens, ventilation products and fans, lighting equipment, and thermostatic controls. The company, founded in 1950, is headquartered in Johnson City, TN.

Very well made
This heater is pretty nice. I have a discontinued model from another manufacturer and the TPI is better made, especially with regards to paint and heating element fins. However, just be aware that it's fan is unexpectedly noisy, twice as loud with approximately the same RPM as my other one. I looked far and wide though and TPI seems to be the only one making heaters in this form factor these days.

Great Heater
Just bought this heater, and has only been running one day so time will tell. I did make a slight mistake on mounting which caused the heater to fall. The power cord caught it luckily, I did have the cord routed over things which prevented the plug end and the outlet from damage. The connection to the motor held the full weight of the heater for 2 hours I'm sure before i FOUND THE THING HANGING, AND STILL WORKING NORMALLY. I've re-installed the unit correctly now, and included my own failsafe from falling as well. I've not ran it on high for more than a couple minutes, there's no need for my basement to be as hot as this heater would make it. The fan is not "quiet", it has too much power to be silent. One of my best online purchases. Well built and worth the money!

Broke after 1y and 3 months
Was ok when it worked. I used it to heat a decent size space (600 sq feet) that has some insulation. Would take about 30min to get to a comfortable temperature (5000W model). Unfortunately it broke after a little over a year, making it not worth the money.

So far, it is everything i wanted.
I just started using it today, so I cannot speak to the longevity of the unit. But I can give my impressions of it so far. First, this thing moves a lot if air. I mean A LOT. The fan has one speed, and that is fast. It is loud, too. Louder than your average box fan on high. That being said, it does do a very good job heating an area up quick. It does not put out really hot air. It puts out a massive amount of warm air. When you consider the wattage of the heater and the amount of air it moves, it makes sense that it wouldn't be super hot. I believe this unit is made in the U.S.A., and there are spare parts available from the manufacturer (I checked on this before I even bought it). One note...use at least 10 gauge wire, and a 30 amp breaker. Now we'll just have to see how long it lasts.

heater???
Ok, where do I start? First this thing requires a 30 amp circuit. For you who don't know 30 amps is what a clothes dryer or a welder uses. High voltage! Which is fine but I doesn't put out that much heat! It heats a 2 foot x 2 foot area to about 80 degrees. So if it is right between your legs it works great. I had high hopes for this heater, especially because its made in America, but it was a big disappointment. I am trying to return it now. Hopefully all goes well there.
