Over 5 winters of use, one that I have has dropped to about 725 Watts, as measured on a kill-a-watt meter... still is ok in my shop area, but no longer "toasty warm".

I have several of those type heaters. On one, The thermostat controls the heat output and it even controls the fan speed.
All the different makes, seem to be a little different.
