Even these suck, imo.
They *clearly* change the air quality, add boucou vapor into the room.
I have one in my shop, a 20,000+ btu unit.
I use it for a while to take the chill off the whole shop, then use
electric, or a dehumidifier (like a half-assed heat pump). They do put out
a lot of heat, so I would use them judiciously, in conjuntion w/ other
methods.
