Why We Love This Deal
The thermostat is king when indoors, but that’s not always the case for the garage—most aren’t integrated with the rest of a home’s HVAC and require supplementary heating devices. A standard space heater won’t work for low-insulated garages, and a fire pit and sometimes even a propane heater can pose safety concerns. Infrared heaters are usually a better solution, and Walmart has one you can mount on a tripod for under $100.
The Briza 1500W Infrared Heater is marked down to $99 at Walmart right now, which is almost 30% off and nearly $10 less than what Amazon is selling it for. Plus, it ships free.

At the heart of Briza’s 1500W portable heater is a 3-foot-wide heating unit. It produces infrared heat, which is the magic that makes this heater so wonderful for outdoor and garage environments. In other words, this heater heats things where a space heater can be thought of as heating air. If it is pointed at you, you will instantly get warmer, and a draft from an open garage door cannot entirely rob you of that.
The heater’s ability to be ceiling-mounted or placed on a movable tripod helps the user easily pick how that heat is dispersed. Above the head will keep the head, ears, and hands warm, for instance.
This portable heater also automatically shuts off when it is tipped over for safety, has a built-in timer to automatically turn off, and has an IP55 dust and water protection rating, meaning it won’t die if it gets caught in a light, unexpected rain.

What Shoppers Are Saying
One person described using it in their garage: “I usually start out in the highest level and end up turning it down to the lowest level since it pumps out so much heat.” This makes sense, as the infrared heat most quickly heats what it is aimed at, but will slowly heat the entire area as the heat dissipates into the environment.
Another user put it really simply, noting that it “heats up really hot” and is “nice and quiet.”
The Briza 1500W Infrared Heater is now just $99, ships free, and is the perfect solution for brisk fall evenings spent in the garage.
