This heater fits perfect in any of the insulated dog houses from this same manufacturer. And it heats the doghouse very well. But I think this heater is a 1st gen so needs improvement. The heater stays off after a power outage. There are no controls on the unit so you need the remote. If you lose the remote or it breaks the heater won't work. The lowest temperature you can set it to is 50deg. For our dogs that live outside it is too warm and they tend to want to sleep in our other dog houses. The remote doesn't work via RF so it has to point at the heater to work. Connecting to your home Wi-Fi network isn't an option for many people. So having an RF remote would be much better. I can say it is a high quality product but if I had researched better its limitations I would not have purchased it until a gen2 is released with improvements.

Only negative thing so far is the temperature settings do not stay if there is a power loss.

Not too good. Doesn't warm very well, but it's better than the heat pads.

Heater works fine to warm dog house, but doesn’t have a timer so the unit stays on until you turn it off or the power fails. Also, the heater will not come back in when the power comes back in so forget about using a timer between the outlet and the heater plug. Really a stupid design to only be able to turn it on and off with the remote.

Needed to buy an extra just in case

The doghouse is really nice but I didn’t get any instructions or hardware to put it together.

Awesome product, saving me from a early Michigan winter

Heat works perfect, might want to look at how to reduce the noise; overall. It's a good start.

Works amazing, BUT a 2 star because the heater does not work without a remote. If you misplace the small remote or your fur baby used it as a chew toy, you have to buy a whole new heater because unit does not work without the remote :(

Can only be turned on by remote. Cannot use a smart timer in conjunction.
