just used mine for the first time and it doesn't seem to put out much heat. I had a small blower in it on medium and it was just barely warm. Is that all it's got?

Hey Kevin!
It should have a 20 degree rise.
Depending how cold it is where you're testing it it may not feel like much. Put in in a room and let it run for a couple of hours and then check.
You'll like it, nice tool to have.

The E TES is designed to directly heat wet material, not the air. Use a IR thermometer to compare the material you are heating with the E TES to other material to determine how the E TES is working.
Other factors:
Temperature of the ambient air
Are you exhausting your moist air or using a dehu and recirculating the air back through the E TES
The more air (higher speed setting on your air mover) you are running over the heating coils the less of a temperature increase, use the least amount of air as possible to keep the air flow switch engaged for the most temperature increase.
Size of the room, try to contain the heat, either under a carpet or use plastic to keep the heat on the wet material.
The 240 volt E TES will put out more heat than the 120 volt

exactly! The faster the air the less it will heat up. Keep them on low and you should feel a difference.
