Great Heater, November 24, 2009

I recently moved into a basement apartment in the DC metro area, and as some know, basements can get pretty cold. I was thrilled when the homeowner owner loaned me his portable heater. This heater is heaven sent! It keeps my 1,350 square foot basement very warm. Here are some of the features that I noticed with the heater:
1. It warms up my basement very quickly.
2. It is very portable, as it has swirling rollers beneath it, making it easy to move from one room to another.
3. It doesn't get hot-to-the-touch like many other heaters.
4. It's energy efficient.
What more could I want in a heater? The heater is definitely pricey (and thankfully, I didn't have to buy one), but despite the price, I think the heater is worth it. The only reason why I am not giving this heater the full 5-stars is that it is quite noisy. I keep the heater in my room (and leave my room door open so that it'll heat up the rest of the basement), and on the first night I had it, I turned it off because the heater was a bit noisy. After the first night, I got used to the noise, so it doesn't bother me like it used to. Other than the noise, this heater is great. I highly recommend it.

Awsome Heater !!!, October 17, 2009

Awsome heater! The best heater of it's kind. I have an Eden Pure which does not work half as good. The fact that I don't have to worry about changing bulbs is a great plus. I would highly recommend this heater to anyone looking to save money on heating bills. I plan to buy additional units for my kids to have.

It is better..., January 8, 2010

Efficient and Economical?
I was dubious, but needing another area heater, I decided to try this one. FedX delivered and it was running in 20 minutes, instant heat.
To confirm their boast of an economical advantage, I plugged it into a Kill-a-Watt electric usage meter.
I had been using 3 electric oil radiators in office den (32x20) with 2 - 8' glass patio doors facing north. Each had been using about 1.3 Kw per hour, this unit arrived just 24 hours ago and already I've taken one of the radiators away and turned the other 2 down by 50% and just check the Kw used by this unit and it is only using 1.38Kw per hour, efficient with considerable savings. The temp in this room is up 3 degrees and I'm going to cut the oil radiators down some more, and we are experiencing our harshest winter since 1996, 6 degrees with wind chill of -10 now at 5 a.m.
NOISE: yes it has a blower or fan. Heaters that radiate do not, so there is some noise but not excessive or unbearable. This distributes the heat better and possibly adds to its efficiency.
You can't reach this Amazon distributor by the phone they provide (on hold for 2 hours) but they did push the order out the door very fast.
It is a smart looking unit, great design and cool to the tough that's important if you have little ones about. How long will it last? Made in China, and some have good quality control and some do not, BUT this one has 3year warranty and Amazon to back it up, that's comforting.
So far it is working just as described, I am a happy camper and good luck to you.
