Review of Patton PQH307-UM Tower Quartz Heater with Adjustable Thermostat

Customer Ratings:

Portable heaters are a mixed bag--they can be incredibly useful and they can start fires. I personally know two elderly women who ran portable heaters continuously at the maximum level . . . until the outlets caught on fire! In most cases, the circuit breaker will trip before this happens, but obviously not in all cases. The biggest trippers of the circuit breakers, where portable heaters are concerned, appear to be those running at high settings of 1000 watts or more. But lower settings under 1000 watts often don't provide enough heat. This Patton has a lower setting (#1) of only 750 watts, and yet feels like a heater running at a 1500 watt setting. Thus, it's an excellent choice for houses that can't handle the higher wattage settings. Although I will never plug any portable heater directly in an outlet any longer, after hearing of outlet fires. I either use a First Alert Fire Shield cord, or an extension cord that can handle 1875 watts. (Using an extension cord that can't handle at least 1875 watts can also cause a fire.) This heater also sells under the brand names of Jarden, Sunbeam and Holmes.

Outstanding space heater. Much more heat than most other heaters. I think that is because it is just more efficient. . . All the power goes into generating heat, not a motor to oscillate the unit in different directions, like some space heaters. Have used it for several seasons now. No problems. Heats me and the room up very quickly. Sitting in front of it is like sitting in front of a warm and cozy fireplace. Only drawbacks are that it will dry out the room, there is no remote control, and the noise from the fan, while not terribly loud, is enough to keep light sleepers awake at night. I use this one when I want to warm the room up quickly, and then turn it off when I want to sleep, or just use a different model when I want a no-noise no-fan heater for sleeping.

This space heater by Patton does a great job of initially heating up relatively quickly (fifteen minutes or so) and even while it's "warming up" for the very first time it pushes hot air outward into the room you want to heat. True, it doesn't heat larger spaces but on the other hand it's great for heating rooms about the size of my bedroom (120 square feet).

Setup is nothing. Just plug it in and turn the temperature knob (the knob on the right) to one of two settings. I recommend the warmer setting at least initially and then you can lower it after you get the initial blast of heat. As for the other control knob on the left, I turned that all the way up to get the maximum blast of heat. Another plus is that the unit automatically turns off if it tips over or overheats so there doesn't seem to be a fire hazard here.

The heater makes some noise while it's working but it sounds like a fan and some people will definitely like this; that sound actually helps me go to sleep faster at night! If you're a light sleeper, however, this could be a negative.

The only disappointment I have is that the temperature control is just one of two settings; and neither setting is specified by degrees Fahrenheit.

I recommend this space heater by Patton, especially for heating smaller rooms. People who want to heat larger spaces would do well to continue looking for larger and more powerful space heaters.

Honest reviews on Patton PQH307-UM Tower Quartz Heater with Adjustable Thermostat

I used it mostly in the fall and winter time. It worked pretty well. The thing i like most was that it had a automatic cut off, if it ever gets knocked over. I have kids so that was a plus. It heats up pretty quick it doesnt work well in large rooms, but it works more so in bedrooms. I mean dont get me wrong itll heat an entire apartment (600sq ft.) but it wont be toasty just warm enough. I had to retire mine cause the power cord broke off at the very base of the machine. Maybe from being bent to much, not sure. But a good heater. My next one i want it to be more powerful.

I purchased this heater on the recommendation of my wife, who was using it while waitinf for a new furnace to be installed. And my wife said it keep two large rooms warm. I ordered it for myself, and WOW. This heater is worth the money. Even my dog loves it. It has quartz heating, and a fan to blow out hot air. So it really heats a good size room very quickly. The heater starts heating right away, and the heat is going full blast in about 2 minutes. It works very efficiently, and I usually use it on the low setting. The heater is light weight and easy to move around. I will be purchasing another one, because it just works so well. At such an affordable price. This heater can be summed up in just one simple word "awesome".
