Dr Infrared Heater Portable Space Heater, Original, 1500-Watt, Cherry (Pack of 1)

Warm and Comfy
The living room area (semi-open floor plan including kitchen and dining) in our split level has always been so cold in the winter that we hardly used it. Our HVAC needs an expensive overhaul, so that isn’t going to happen any time in the near future. This space heater was the perfect solution. It does a great job of keeping the entire space comfortable and now we all spend time together there.The important stuff:1. The heater is relatively quiet. You can hear it, but it is just quiet background noise. You don’t need to speak louder and we don’t need to turn up the TV volume.2. The heater does a good job of maintaining a set temperature automatically. It will shut off at temperature and only turn on as needed to maintain the setting. It will initially kick in with higher heat and faster fan speed (still quiet) and then adjust both downward as the space warms.3. The heater housing remains cool to the touch. The manual controls on the front of the heater are also room temperature even when the heat is blasting. I’ve never needed to use them other than turning it on the first time, so I had to make a point of checking this.4. I have not really tested the safety features, but the heater is low to the floor, reasonably heavy, and on casters that don’t roll w/o effort if placed on carpet. You would really have to manhandle this thing to get it to tip over. A casual bump or accidental shove will do no harm. It would move on the casters before it would tip over. There is a bit of clearance between the bottom of the unit and the carpet and the bottom of the unit doesn’t get hot.5. We’ve had it running in automatic/temp mode for a couple of months during a very cold spell and I have not noticed any substantive change in our electric bill.6. The power cord is long enough that you should be able to reach an outlet and keep the heater out of the way regardless of your room configuration. The overall size of the heater is also small enough that it should not be very noticeable. Ours sits between an end table and a decorative floor lamp at one end of a sofa between the living and dining areas. You can see that it is there, but it does not look out of place and it doesn’t jump out and scream ‘look at the space heater!’.7. It is very easy to use. The remote works fine and seems to have pretty good range. Once we turned it on and set it at a comfortable temperature, we haven’t really touched it. If you need to mess with it you can, and it is easy, but this is completely unnecessary in my opinion. I played with the remote once or twice just because, but that’s all. Set and forget.8. Finish on the cabinet seems pretty durable. We haven’t spilled anything on it (yet), but it is easy to clean and seems to tolerate typical cleaning products w/o issue. I’d treat it like any piece of finished wood like a coffee table or dining room table. If you place it out of the traffic areas, spills probably won’t happen and a periodic dusting or wipe down is all you’d need to do.Summary: I wish we had gotten this sooner. It is safe, quiet, does a great job, and isn’t ugly. Running in automatic mode has not impacted our electric bill. If I needed another, I would buy this again. If you are looking for a space heater for anything other than a shop space, I definitely recommend it. I suspect this would be fine in a shop environment, but I’d probably choose something built specifically for that purpose.

easy to set up and move with the wheels mounted on the bottom , looks great , almost to nice to use in garage , heats up quickly not much noise , move plenty of HOT air on high , like the filter on back , easy to remove and clean . . Overall a well made heater that is easy to use , if it lasts as long as stated it is a fantastic valueUPDATEbeen over 1 year of use still works as advertised keeps the room at a steady 71 degrees cycles on and off every once in a while but fan is quiet have to be listening for it to be noticed . no more cold spots in the room with this heater running , no noticeable increase in electric bill it might be a bit lower as the baseboard heaters are working less often2ND YEAR OF USE STILL WORKING WELL HEATS my 30×16 room easily keeps it at a steady 72 degrees , puts out plenty of heat keeps my garage at 54 all winter , heating bills have gone down since replacing the old industrial heater with this . with tis heater room is a constant 38 to 42 percent humidity , when using the baseboard heaters humidity drops to between 25 and 34 percent . will be buying another for the basement , much better than the old baseboard heaters in there now.Update 2 , bought a second unit to use in the basement , heats up very quickly keeps the basement at a constant 68 degrees , when you use in econo mode it cycles on and off once in a while to test ambient temp if the temp is lower than 68 it turns on the heat if not is shuts down , people have commented that it cycles on and off , that is the reason for the cycling on and off to see if the temp is low enough that it needs to turn on heater , it is quiet so the cycling on or off should not bother you unless the heater is within a few feet of you , so far very pleased with these heatersmow have 3 heaters , these are the best space heaters i’ve ever used , i find them super quiet maybe the others complaining of being loud have bad units , the 3 i have are just about silent not disturbing at all worth the money , hydro bill has gone down as well .forgot to add it heats up very quickly , have one at the entrance to my house after shoveling snow i sit in front of the heater for a minute or 2 and i’m warm great way to defrost

I have a small apartment in a region of British Colombia where the weather in the winter usually hovers in the minus 10-15 Celsius for most of the winter. But it does get a lot colder then that at times with minus 35 or so sometimes lasting week’s being normal. This has been my second full winter using this machine as my only source of heat for my small living room kitchen area probably 350-375 sq ft and it has been phenomenal. It has no problem keeping my place warm and not only that but it’s a nice heat. At night I turn the heat down and have actually used the remote alot and I’ve never had any issues that would make me think it’s wearing out or getting tired. It’s as strong today as the day I bought it. People do mention the noise the fan makes, and the fact that even when it’s not heating the fan kicks in every so often but I personally don’t find it very noticeable, even at first. Now I don’t even hear it. I don’t think I’ve ever left a review before, I usually don’t care much but, I am so impressed with this heater that I felt if I could help anyone thinking of buying this machine with my experience with it then I’m happy to do it. So I have absolutely no problem at all wholeheartedly recommending this heater to anyone thinking of buying it. One other thing, I bought a very similar heater from my local hardware store and I ended up taking it back as it was noisy didn’t have wheels, and wasn’t very attractive.
