buy at Kmart, Target, etc. for $20, with a couple of hoses attached to

If it's really putting out air at 190 degrees, it's not any heater you can buy
at a retail outlet. A claim is also made that it has a thermostat that will
regulate the unit. The thermostats on typical heaters designed for home use
measure the ambient temperature of the air in the room, not the temperature of
the air flowing through the unit. This is, of course, a function of the location
of the thermostat, but someone had to do some design work here.
Seems to me to be somewhat more effort involved than just putting together a few
off-the-shelf parts.
