Excellent and Well Though Out Design
Pros:
Casters can be removed and stored within the bottom of the unit, securely for storage.
Cord has storage compartment with a closing door, which latches securely.
Four Heat settings.
Silent.
Highly Effective.
Cons:
Documentation is a little dated, refers to the switches on the unit being a rotary type dial control.
While the product description does mention a circulation fan, I don't see one - and frankly I'm glad it doesn't seem to have one. It's silent, totally silent. Setting switch 3 (Bottom Element) to ON (375 Watts), more than ample to heat my entire upstairs. A pleasant slow event heat.
The product isn't UL listed, but it is ETL listed. There is an overheat circuit interrupt with a button on the back of the unit, and sensitive tip over cut-off switch. Very pleased with the safety of the unit overall.
The unit functions in two ways, first is the reflective heat you can see and feel when the unit...
Mines different from picture
I just got mine and plugged it in. You felt immediate warmth even at the lowest setting with no sound. I don't think I will put it on high because low generates enough heat for my comfort. Maybe later in the bitter cold of winter I can update with a higher setting.
As with all Quartz heaters you have the glow from the tube but it is not bright. The picture shows all four elements going that is the highest setting one tube for each additional setting comes on for a total of four.
Also very important the one advertised says 1 year warranty mine says 3 year so the one in the picture could be an earlier version or just a misprint.
Only draw back is it is not the prettiest to look at but I bought it for warmth not decorum. Would of gotten 5 out of 5 if it had a blower or was better looking.
Very efficient and effective.
This heater puts out more heat than any I ever tried, and I own 8 different types of electric space heaters. The combination infrared and convection is what I think makes this heater special. Although I cannot really put my finger on it, it seems to have a different effect on different people. For myself I set this on the lowest 375 watt setting and I am immediately warm, even in a large 21x20 Family room with a 17'2" ceiling. For my wife and my mother, they are not impressed. It needs to be on 750 watts for them to be just ok. I do not know if it is something about the infrared that does not affect everyone the same. The heat it puts out is not a gush of fan forced heat, it is more of a consistent heat that warms you immediately, I don't know how they cannot feel it. The thermometer agrees with my position on this. On high this thing will move a thermometer more than any other space heater I have, and I have some that cost me $200. Anyway, for those of you that can feel the...
