Anyone compare this to the 5 speed one without the thermostat? I am wondering if the thermostat is really useful and worth the extra cost.

I didn't find it really that useful except if you are just curious about the temp in the room. Also it took me 3 tries before I actually received one of these fans that worked. Definitely some quality issues.

It doesn't do anything besides tell you how overheated you will be if you spend too much time in that room

I have not compared it to another without a thermostat but I enjoy it. The thermostat stays lit up & immediately tells you the temperature of the room once it's turned on & fluctuates when the room cools down. My favorite part about the fan is all the different settings it has. From sleep mode all the way up to power cool. This fan puts out good cool air throughout the room.

Oh yes it is . I have one running right now in my kitchen. my central air is out. I have the smaller one also. I like the timer as well as the different settings .

I've owned one for years and in the winter months, keep in on 24/7 in the room with the thermostat as an accompaniment to my house's hot water radiant heat. If I didn't have this on, the oil bills would be outrageous, this unit is a bargain as it only add's about $100 a month in electricity...worth it to me. No problems with it running all the time. I need to buy a new one as it died after four cold winters.

Hi. We have gone through two of these in a short time. The thermostat malfunctions rendering them useless. Seller does not credit when you return it. We found another brand that is betterhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002Q8HDKO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

When I drove it it seemed to get the MPH pretty well. Also I think the Rpm and a few other readings, I can't remember well what the others were. It help me keep that car running until I finally decided to get rid of the car. The Machine works pretty well. I recommend it for an enthusiast. :)

no problem from getgo all 3 speeds w/ the one I got a couple yrs ago. If u r mechanically inclined check all connections. My speed control switch on low has been finicky a yr ago - no problem since. The medium & high positions really move air. Other choice is return f/ swap. Sorry to hear of this bummer & frustration.

This thermostat has to be purchased from and installed by a dealer. Otherwise, the warranty does not apply !!! beware of this. According to Honeywell, the features on both models are the same, except for the 5 year and 1 year warranties

Loren, Good morning. The picture is a generic one and shows the heater with an optional thermostat. If you desire said thermostat, please order the DTKSP (DTK-SP). Please let us know if you have any additional questions or if we can assist you further. Thanks, Jeff Cousins Operations Manager

It is an awesome system. Not too bad on the heat. It just takes same fine tuning to get the system just right with the right gearing in the car.

I am not familiar with the other one. This one is well constructed. Looks great. Rolls easily. I have it in my living room that has 2 6ft openings on each end. It heats this room well but takes a little time to get there. I use to maintain temp in the room. It is located below my thermostat. in a more closed in area it would really heat well. I plan to get another for basement when I finish off a room. the remote works well. This is my second heating season with it. blower is a touch loud but not bad. I turn up TV just a bit. But its not annoying in any way. I get lots of compliments on it. I recommend it I am not familiar with the other one. This one is well constructed. Looks great. Rolls easily.

I run it in a drag race car with no thermostat. If you are running it in a street car I would recommend running a thermostat.

First, this is a great product and very well made. You don't need a thermostat if you have an electric fan on your radiator. You simply connect the Mishimoto to the radiator fan, when radiator fan comes on the remote fan comes on. If you have two electric fans, remember one is for the radiator and the other will only come on when the air conditioner is in use. (Make certain you connect to the radiator fan) And yes, you could use a manual switch with an isolated power source. (Make certain you add a fuse)

I think they have the description wrong, I googled 80 series blue and it is a different thermostat, also my new thermostat is b@w display!The thermostat that I replaced had different wiring though, it was the same but it did have an extra jumper wire, I had to study it for awhile to figure it out but it worked when I hooked it up, my old one was like 20 years old so I think they upgraded it!

internet is required ONLY IF you want to use the wifi capabilities of the thermostat.Functionally everything can be done manually from the unit without wifi.With wifi though, you significantly enhance the convenience capabilities.

Agree with earlier answers. I have two units that predate the one with a thermostat, and they work great. The problem with the thermostat unit is that the sensor is right by the radiator. It gets warm and kicks off before the area around it is warm. The solution is to set the thermostat 10 degrees warmer than you think it should be. You can adjust from there for personal preference.

I have the same model (732-500) and have 3 settings. The control doesn't even look like this one. Must be they upgraded?It runs hot. I think warm would be great as low is hot. For a person who's always cold in the winter, that's saying something. : )When I bought this one I also got a regular size. That one is easier to handle. The large one... is... large! I do like it but would recommend getting 2 sizes.Hope this helps.

I personally don't have this device anymore, however, If my memory serves me right I believe so. On the other hand, I would not recommend this product as it's not entirely reliable a lot of resetting from what I recall. It may have just been a bad model but in any case for the money I would rather recommend to anyone looking to have wireless access to their thermostat to simply upgrade to the latest Honeywell Smart. It's really reliable and has Wifi built in. No need for exterior sensor as this picks up your local temperature from the web. I've had one now for close to a year and I must say I love it.

You do not need a thermostat. When the attic reaches a certain temperature, it comes on automatically. Otherwise, it stays off. It immediately began working as soon as it was installed.
