Not what I thought…
I poked around on the manufacturers web site before buying this heater to heat my garage but the site was a little misleading in that they don’t tell you that this shouldn’t be used for an application like I wanted. It touted the heater as being odorless which it definitely wasn’t! I don’t have natural gas in my neighborhood so that was out, I didn’t want one of the 100lb tanks that the other “vent free” models need so I’m going to try to get rid of this one as I’ve just replaced it with one of the 240v electric heaters that hang from the ceiling.
I’ll give it three stars as I’m sure it will work well in an open construction environment which might rate a 5 but for my application it definitely gets a 1.

Heats a 3 car garage!
Purchased this for my husband for woodworking in the garage. Heated area at a very comfortable level, despite single-digit temperatures. Very satisfied! Longmont, CO

The Reddy Heater RLP50VA variable propane heater is a great solution for heating smaller construction projects or even work areas around the home. It operates at three different heat settings (30-, 40-, and 50,000 Btu) so you can conserve fuel when using the heater in smaller spaces. Setup is easy: simply connect the included hose and regulator to a to 20- to 100-pound propane cylinder (not included). Depending on which cylinder-size/power setting combination you use, you can get anywhere from nine to 72 hours of operation on a single tank. CSA certified.
