I purchased one of these last year and am buying this for a present for my son-in-law.  The drip pan is a nice feature to catch the snow/water.  I put mine one a timer so it goes on in the morning.  An on/off switch would be nice.

Just received it an it's not what I ordered.  Be very careful of purchasing from Midway Storefront. This ain't your Mothers Amazon who handles returns with a breeze, no you have  jump through hoops to get the info on how to return it and if course it's all the customers fault.
