Default Garage heater recommendations

Bought myself a cheap 2000kw garage heater and it's rubbish. I've got an in door van heater that blows warmer air.

Not sure if to go for a gas powered one or just a better electric one.

Any ideas or help would be great.

Gas heaters tend to cause condensation, electric heaters are expensive to run, depends how big and insulated the garage is, if garage is attached to house I would put a large radiator in there connected to central heating and Insulate it well.
