VERDICT
This electric greenhouse heater is light and easy to carry and has a firm, attached stand to ensure stability. This is a very versatile product, with four settings, one for circulating air with no increase in temperature and another three to create the heat your greenhouse requires. With an in-built thermostat, the fan cuts out when the required temperature setting has been reached. You will need to connect it to mains electricity of course but an excellent product for small to medium sized greenhouses.
