Best Sunbeam SFH8111 Oscillating Heater Fan with Remote Control Deals

Customer Ratings:

I bought this heater at Lowes on 10/4/09. I took it home and assembled it according to the instructions and turned it on. The heater kicked off within 30 seconds and the overheat light started blinking. I turned it off and unplugged it for a few minutes and tried again. I never could get the heater to stay on for more than 20 or 30 seconds at a time. The next day I returned it to Lowes, and when I began to tell the lady at Customer Service the problem, she just nodded and said "yeah, I know, we get a lot of these returned for that reason". Instead of getting a refund and buying a different brand (which I should have done), I exchanged it for the same heater. The second heater worked fine, for about 2.5 months and then started having problems again. Tonight I haven't been able to get the heater to stay on and the overheat light keep flashing again. I am going to try to return this to Lowes in the morning, but since Lowes only has a 90 day return policy and it has been about 93 days since I got the second heater I hope they will let me exchange it for a different brand heater. I wouldn't recommend this heater at all after all the problems I have had with it.

I'm sorry to hear that the previous reviewer didn't like it, but I have one that I also bought at Lowes and I think it's great. We have it in our VERY large, 550 square foot family room, and it warms up the place nicely within a 10 minutes. Now, mind you, I have central heat, but that room is always colder than the rest of the house, due to it's size and the number of windows, and I bought it to warm it up more since I have a baby daughter who likes to crawl on the carpet where it's coldest. If you're looking at this to be a replacement (temporary or permanent) for a complete lack of central heating, it's not going to do the job.

It has two heat settings (low and high), a tip-over sensor and it oscillates, which is nice for spreading the heat around the room.

As a supplemental heater or one for the cold nights, it's great. In fact, that's how I ended up at Amazon... Lowes is out of them, and I'm going to buy two more to replace the energy-hog oil heaters that I have in those rooms... I hope this helped!

Best Deals for Sunbeam SFH8111 Oscillating Heater Fan with Remote Control

I bought this at Lowe's, for the same price at amazon to hold me over until my central heating gets turned on. I live in an older house probably 1950's design with cinder-block outer walls, a tile floor in my living room and poor insulation so take that into account with this review. This heater is small about two feet tall and says rated for medium size rooms on the box. When first turned on there was a strong plastic smell but it dissipated after about 10 minutes. I currently have this in my small/medium living room and have to this about 3 feet away from me as the fan blows really low. I feel warmer but only enough to take the edge off, not freezing, but not entirely comfortable. With the built-in fan its as loud as a medium oscillating fan. Overall its ok for the price but don't expect anything spectacular.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam SFH8111 Oscillating Heater Fan with Remote Control

Don't buy this heater. I'm not sure I'd buy another sunbeam product actually. Just like the other reviews, my heater worked for a while and then started shutting off while the light around the temperature adjustment would flash. If you move the unit it may or may not come back on. The temperature display sometimes comes on and sometimes it doesn't. It lasted one short season and after that, its been nothing but a headache. Basically the warranty covers its initial use and it sounds like after that the majority of these die.
