Discount HumidiHeat 3%2Din%2D1 Heater Humidifier and Air Washer

Customer Ratings:

I have had this heater for over a year and it helps heat up my entire downstairs because of the fact that it uses warm air with the water feature. I have gone through tons of different heaters that half the time I am lucky if it heats up a room, this one heats up my living room, kitchen, dining room and a half bath plus the heat goes up the stairs and helps to keep that area warm too. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a heater that really works.

I have a pretty severe dust allergy, and we bought one of these units when we went skiing. The house was very dusty and my allergies were fully acting up. Within a few refills of the container, the dust level went down to a manageable level (you can see the particles collect in the water when you change it). Within a day, the room was pretty much dust free and I could sleep without any allergic reactions. The heater worked wonderfully too for the room (which was farthest away from a central fireplace). I highly recommend this.

I have both HC4-15-20 from Soleus Air and HumidiHeat Humidi Heatfrom Envion. The envion's model, though simple in operation and rich in design, lacks certain basic features like what the other model from Soleus Air offers. Features like fan-only option, digital display and controls for timer and auto-shut off, oscillation ( a basic feature expected of a fan/heater), and the ability to set the heat settings to a desired temperature level are something commonly expected in a heater but none of these are supported on this model. For the price it is being sold in the market at different stores, lack of these features on this model makes it a spend-more-for-less option while thinking of buying a heater with humidifier.

Honest reviews on HumidiHeat 3%2Din%2D1 Heater Humidifier and Air Washer

I've had this for about a month now, and am pretty happy with it. It heats well, and humidifies well.

I use the unit along with a lasko floor heater, and together they heat up my room very quickly, which is about 180 sq feet and has a section that is closed off a bit thats unfinished (the insulations not finished). It definitely humidifies well, though I am a bit skeptical about how well it 'cleans' the air.

As was mentioned in some other reviews, it does have a plasticy smell (they also said this goes away) and the fan does cause the air that comes out to be cool, even if the heat is up. Neither of these things are really bothersome, though.

2 minor criticisms:

1 it turns off very easily when knocked, which is perfectly understandable, as it has a heater right next to an open tank of water. This happened a lot when I first got it, so I started being a bit more patient and conscientious and it doesn't turn off anymore.

2 if its left on through the day and night, you will have to change it often. (I turn it on usually for an hour or 2 whenever I first get home, I'm usually only home a third of the time, and I have to change it every third day or so. When I leave it on, its more like every day.)

I did a bit of research before buying on both humidifiers and space heaters, and I assume the lack of other products with both functions is why the design is not more refined. But overall, I am satisfied with the product, though I do wish I had been able to get something a bit more durable and well designed for the price (&with a longer warranty backing these traits up than a year!)

One month after warranty expired the spindle on the bottom of the panel that drives the wick snapped off. After 30 minutes on the phone with customer service I'm told they can't help me because they've discontinued the thing and they don't sell parts, other than the wick. So, just know that you're buying something that's likely to be landfill one month after the warranty expires.

Packaging/Set Up: The heater comes in easy to open packaging. Remove some plastic and plug it in. Simple

Aesthetics: Minimalistic design, very modern. A plain while box, not quite a cube, with a plastic front allowing you to see the fake embers and fire. The embers light up and has a very pleasant glowing. The fire has a nice effect as well. Not perfectly realistic, but as good as any fireplace heater I have seen. The glow setting looks very nice provides just enough light while not being distracting.

Heat Settings: Once turned on, the heat starts up right away. On the low setting, it generates a nice warmth, enough for maybe a small bedroom. On the high setting you can warm a medium size bedroom. I cam currently using it in my living room and it maintains the temperature well. It does not have a thermostat, so you cannot set it to a specific temperature and it will not automatically turn on or off. You will need to turn it off if once you reach a comfortable temperature.

Overall: It is a great value. The simple modern design is perfect for taste. It does the job for a fraction of the price of many similar sized fireplace heaters.

I saw this product advertised in an online article about exciting new products and I was instantly in love with it. I ordered it in orange and I feel that this color helps to amplify the flame effect. It definitely can't fool you into believing it might be real, but it's beautiful nonetheless. I hardly use anything other than the glow setting, but the heater works really well too. Upon seeing that the white one was over almost 25% off for a short period of time, I took advantage of the deal to order a second one to use in my office. I wish they made one that was a little bigger, maybe more rectangular, but overall I am tremendously satisfied with my purchases.

I do like the size of this unit and it heats well enough. The fireplace look is a nice addition. I did find the design functionality limited. You can't turn off the fireplace lighting if you just want the heat, and there's no temperature shutoff. It's either ON or OFF, with no auto shutoff once the room reaches the desired temperature, and no remote; which means you have to get up and go shut it off manually. Also, I would have like to see this offered in more than 3 basic colors, ie. black, or brown would have been nice.

List Price: $89.99

The Honeywell HZ-709 comes very well packaged with solid styrofoam wrapped around the unit all inside a heavy duty cardboard box. When I opened mine I wasn't surprised that there wasn't a scratch on it. It comes with the radiator unit, four plastic casters, two brackets, two u-bolts, owners manual, and warranty card. There is basic tool-free assembly required to put on the casters, but its so easy a cave man could do it. The instructions to do this are also very easy to understand.

Once the unit is assembled then it is time to plug it in. The digital settings are very easy to adjust with one power button and three two-way switches. One switch is for adjusting the thermostat, which can be set to the max of eighty five degrees fahrenheit. Another is for setting the power low (600 watts), medium (900 watts), and high (1500 watts). The last switch is for setting a hourly timer for shutting the unit off. The temperature switch can also be used to change from fahrenheit to celsius within the first few seconds of powering the unit on. Let me add that this unit is extremely silent, I had to check it a few times to make sure it was on.

I purchased this heater a few weeks ago from Target after we got a blast of cold weather (hovering below and above freezing at night) for a couple of weeks because my home does not have central heat and air and I have about 20 space heaters of which none have ever made my house feel close to warm during the winter. I decided on this unit because it was the most expensive one so I figured it must work for that price and plus I had never tried a oil filled radiator style heater before. I am so glad I decided on this heater.

This heater is in my bedroom which is roughly 700 square feet 26x26. I have a 52" ceiling fan which I set to low on the updraft setting. I tried to place the heater in the center of the room but the cord was too short, but I do have a pretty huge bedroom, so I just put it as far as it would go toward center from the wall outlet. I turned the heater on the highest power setting and highest temperature setting about 5:00pm on an evening that was going to drop below freezing. I have a thermometer on my night stand and the temp in the room read fifty nine degrees. By the time I went to sleep at around 10:00pm the temperature had already raised to seventy two degrees. When I woke up the next morning the temperature was seventy eight degrees. I was shocked!!! It was actually warm in my room. My wife was in shock too. What is amazing is that the unit itself is not extremely hot to the touch like quartz radiant heaters are, while it is still hot I don't feel like it is a fire hazard like quartz heaters are and I feel comfortable leaving it on all the time, even when I am not home. I am still a bit confused on how it does such a great job of heating but it really does. For the past two weeks I haven't been cold in my bedroom at all and I love this heater. It hasn't gone above seventy eight degrees in my bedroom, but I don't want it more than that anyway. It was definitely worth the money. I want to purchase 2 or three more of these units for the whole house now.

I just wanted to update my review a little after a year that I wrote it. It went through another winter and kept us warm, I had since bought a couple more. Still very happy with the units. I had people ask about energy consumption and decided to put a formula on here so you could figure it out for yourself since it would be different for everyone:

It is very easy to figure how any electrical device will affect your electric bill.

Use the formula:

Cost = (watts x hours used x rate per kwh) / 1000

So if you use the unit on high (1500 watts) for 12 hours a day at your electric company's kilowatt hour rate (mine is always changing but usually stays around .02 cents per kwh) then divide that number by 1000 you get your cost which would be:

Cost = (1500 watts x 12 hours x 0.02 kwh charge) / 1000 = $0.36 cents per day or for 30 days: 30 x 0.36 = $10.80

You can use the formula for any electronic device in your home.

THE HONEYWELL HZ-709: I'm on my sixth oil-filled radiator heater. It's a Honeywell HZ-709, the only satisfactory one I've found currently on the market. The first Honeywell I bought worked very well for one season. When I began experiencing problems, I found customer service to be very responsive and responsible.

THE OTHERS: I had a Lakewood which worked very well, but Lakewood doesn't make these heaters anymore. I've also tried two different DeLonghi radiators. Both of them continued to put out irritating fumes even after the break in period. Back they went. Likewise for the Holmes I bought. It gave off a low-level odor that I didn't find too noxious at first; but after the first few hours I developed a continuous and worsening headache + nausea that wouldn't quit unless I left the house. It didn't put out as much heat as the Honeywell either. I gave it two days to prove itself, then gave up on it.

THE WARRANTY: So I've purchased a second Honeywell. As I said, the first one worked beautifully for one season. I cranked it up again this fall and it worked fine for a few days. Then, suddenly, the heater started to put out nasty fumes. It smelled like a CFL bulb when they go bad very nasty. It still worked and I couldn't find any leaking oil. I think the problem was in the control panel. I called customer service because, unlike other heaters, the Honeywell has a three-year warranty. Customer service was very thorough and efficient. The guy I spoke to told me he would waive the $10 return fee (?!!), but he wanted me to ship the heater back at my expense. When I objected, he put me on hold for a short time, then came back and told me that this one time I could just cut off the cord and send it. This I did, and I'm waiting on my replacement heater. Meanwhile I bought another because I wanted a second heater of this type anyway.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF HEATERS: I really prefer oil-filled radiators as opposed to forced-air or open-element heaters. They are quiet, slow, even, efficient, and safe. But you have to use them correctly. You can't come into a 60 degree room, crank up one of these radiators, and expect instant warmth. Rather than sending out a fan-driven blast of warm air, it transfers heat to the air and the objects around it by natural convection. Radiator is a misnomer they should be called convectors.

(True radiant heaters, such as quartz heaters, use infrared heat (electromagnetic radiation) to warm objects (and people) rather than the air. This is, in principle, exactly how the sun heats. The air may remain cool, but if you stand in the sunshine you will be warmed by radiation. Infrared heat is great if you can afford it. Quartz heaters will make your electric bill resemble NASA's budget. Apparently, buying a little piece of the sun is a very expensive proposition.)

Back to the oil-filled gadgets. As the heating element inside the convector (aka radiator) heats the oil, a current is generated in the oil because warm oil is more buoyant. The warm oil rises and gives up its heat, via the metal fins, to the colder air. The heated oil constantly rising from the bottom displaces the cooling oil which circulates back down to the heat coil to be heated again etc. etc. Meanwhile, the heated air is rising, forming its own convection current and is circulating throughout the room without any mechanical aids. This gentle current of air ultimately feels warmer than forced air because you are not contending with the "breeze" created by a fan-driven system. The use of natural convection circulation saves money because there is no fan using additional electricity.

If your room cools to, say, 55 degrees for a while, then so do all the objects in it. In a typical room, that's a lot of mass to bring back up to the desired temperature. Until everything reaches the desired temp, all that mass is soaking up the heat from whatever source you use. I find that these convection heaters are best used over a long period of time to warm the room and all the objects in it, then to maintain a comfortable temperature. To that end I wish the timer were set up to turn ON the heater (like an hour or two before I wake up or arrive home from work) rather than to turn OFF the heater at a preset time. That would make much more sense to me.

THE CONTROLS: The only other caveat to the timer is that if you accidentally turn it on by flicking the center button, your heater will cut off unexpectedly in whatever number of hours you unwittingly chose. Some of the "malfunctions" listed in other reviews may be due to accidentally setting the timer. The other controls work very well and the heater puts out a large, consistent volume of heat for a relatively modest increase in my power bill. The thermostat for this heater is apparently located near the floor. My floor is very cold, so the recorded temperature on the heater panel reads lower than the room temp. I monitor the actual room temperature and reset the heater thermostat accordingly. Right now it is 44 degrees outside, a comfy 72.5 inside, but the heater panel reads 68. This is in a very old, drafty, poorly-insulated 600 sq. ft. unit with no other intentional source of heat.

SUMMARY: Oil-filled heaters are quiet, efficient, and safe. The cats can and do sleep right up against it without burning themselves. It will not catch the curtains afire. There is no noisy, inefficient fan. Of all similar heaters, this Honeywell is the best -well worth the additional price. It is obviously made to higher quality standards than the other, cheaper heaters I've tried. It carries a three-year warranty, and the company stands behind its product. It heats the room without poisoning the air. If they made an even better one and charged even more, I'd buy it!

I just bought this unit from Target, and it is great.

First of all, it is very quiet. The only noise is the sound of oil percolating around in metal housing, which is actually soothing. It is powerful enough to heat our average size bedroom (about 15'x15') even on the lowest setting, and it is below freezing outside.

It is really nice to have a thermostat. You can set it and it will keep your room at a constant temperature. The non-digital model is about $20 cheaper, but just get this one. I've used heaters with no thermostat, and you can never get it to hold constant at a nice temperature. You will wake up too hot or too cold.

The Honeywell costs a little more than the cheap-o brand, but it is WELL worth it. The first radiator heater I bought was cheap-o from Walmart. It made a really loud electrical arcing noise every time it kicked on. It was loud enough to wake us up. It sounded like those weapons from War of the Worlds.

Update: Durable too. We've had ours for.. 5 years?? Still works!

Honest reviews on Honeywell 7 Fin Oil Filled Radiator Heater with Digital Controls

We loved ours! A lot of the people who are having problems with it shutting itself off randomly are probably playing with the middle button on the unit it is some kind of timer. We never used it, but realized when we had the same problem.

Our problem is that the oil pan must have burst or something I came into the kitchen one day and there was a brown puddle on the floor and the thermostat was registering 90 degrees. So thankful it didn't catch on fire or anything, but if it hadn't been on linoleum it would have left a nasty mess on the carpet. Returned it to the store no problem, but we were unable to replace it with the same model as it was not in stock.

I've owned this for a little over a year. I was quite pleased with it until I noticed that my electrical outlet had black around it I pulled the plug and saw that the plug was melting causing it to short. I blamed the outlet only to find another outlet making hissing/sparking noises shortly thereafter (and more melting) the problem is the plug becomes warm either by being close to the unit when on, or from electrical resistance this warms up the rubber/plastic separating the prongs causing the less electricity resistance and voila you have a potentially lethal problem. Even with the unit off the plug will continue to spark/short/melt. Don't know why the circuit breaker didn't blow it must not be enough to trigger. Buyer beware. I'm contacting Honeywell today.

I've had one of these for several years. Puts out a pretty good amount of heat -about what you'd expect. After a couple years, the on/off pull switch broke.

Really love the looks! Looks high quality even though it is made of MDF primarily. I hate MDF, but they put it in everything these days. Assembly was easy, took me a couple hours working alone. I'm a handy female. It is quite heavy once assembled. Don't sink/over tighten the screw-in bolts that lock the base and top to the wall panels. After I had assembled the unit, I noticed the little diagram flash card that was not in the installation manual.

The glass doors on the cabinets help keep the TV components from getting dusty, and they are spacious (Each cupboard is 17.5"D x 18" W). The height of the unit (26.5") allows the TV to be at eye level. Other measurements are 19.5"D x 68.25"W.

The electric fireplace looks cute. I haven't seen other electric fireplaces, so I have nothing to compare the flames to, but I'm a perfectionist, and I have no complaints. There are 5 levels of brightness, although the brightest level doesn't light up a room so it can't be an only light source. You can have it on all seasons because you can choose to have it burning with or without the space heater function. The space heater heats up my 260sf room nicely. The noise level of the blower is decent and does not interfere with TV viewing. Comes with a small remote control or use the controls on the unit.

It was packed well for shipping, however, it still got damaged. I sent pictures, and the manufacturer quickly replaced it with one that was damaged at the factory (a nail split the wood). They quickly replaced that one, but the next one had the same damage. So I was disappointed with their quality control. They quickly replaced that one, but it got minor damage in shipping. I just accepted it because I got a great price on it in the first place.

I have owned this stove (5510) for one year. It's installed in my living room, which is in the middle of my house. Last winter, it kept the bulk of my house 65-75, but we had to use space heaters in the bedrooms at night. Last year, we burned 3.5 tons of pellets, for a total operating cost of about $1000 (including space heaters), which is maybe a third of what I spent in past years on propane. General operation and cleaning is easy, but the original igniter went bad after a few months (replaced under warranty). Also, I recently noticed that the glass gasket in the door is in bad shape, so I called the company and they sent out a new one, also under warranty. Customer service has been excellent so far. I am very happy with my purchase.

If the stove would keep working it would be great but it keeps breaking. I bought the stove in August and by December the ignighter was bad. Us Stove did warranty the ignighter once. But now in the second season the ignighter is bad again and also the auger moter is bad. Of course now it's been over a year for the warranty. Since the heating season is about 6 months here in Michigan that is what time you get to operate the unit under the warranty.

I was looking for something to take the chill out of the bathroom with more wattage than an infrared heat bulb, and this low profile unit appeared to be less of a remodel than similar wall units. I was able to cut a hole in the kick panel under existing bathroom cabinets and wire it to a timer, and it definitely warms up the room. I wired it on a dedicated 220V circuit but it has a jumper if you need to convert it to 110V. My only complaint is that the height of the housing was a couple of millimeters taller than the gap from the floor to the bottom of my cabinet face. This meant I had to notch out the width of the housing from the bottom edge of the cabinet face, fortunately this could be done under a drawer so the drawer face conceals the cut edge. The horizontal overhang of most cabinet faces may also exceed the recommended maximum so far this has not presented any problems for me when running on a timer, but continuous duty might be a problem for heat sensitive finishes on cabinet faces.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This unit arrived on a cold damp grey drizzly 50 degree day that saw me spending three hours in a chilly detached garage working on a project. ( one of those days where a hot cup of tea or soup goes a long way) Assembly is quick, a simple twist of the base to install, run the cord through the provided slots and plug it in. Almost instantly the unit heated up and began driving off the chill. On low it produces a cozy orange glow, on high it's bright, and a bit glaring to be honest. It will very quickly heat up not just you, but the room. I tested the thermostat and setting it and having it cycle on and off was flawless. ( read the instructions on how to do this). I also knocked it over and tested the tip over protection, it worked instantly.

Later that evening after dinner I was listening to some soft music with a cup of tea and a book. ( just some soft background piano) My toes were cold so I turned on the heater and quickly found that listening to low music or background TV while operating the heater just wasn't going to happen. Even placed a bit farther away at the edge of the Infrareds effective range the noise still intruded. Under normal TV volume it's not that bad, but relaxing with a book and some music isn't going to work.

The flaw is that it has a constant speed fan. On high the unit pulls 1500 watts and on low it pulls 900. If the fan speed lowered 40% like the power output when switched on low it's the perfect heater, but it doesn't. (this couldn't cost more than 0.50 cents to do) I do understand the need for the fan for optimal heat output and keeping the unit cool, but you're stuck with it on high regardless of heat setting. In a bustling noisy household, commercials blaring on TV, kids running and shouting you'd hardly notice it I imagine.

But on a crisp clear evening after a long day, quietly unwinding to some soothing music, you won't want this in the room.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I expected this heater to be smaller than it is. From the photographs, I thought it would be about a foot tall. It's actually just over two feet tall and a foot wide, with a base a little over 17 inches wide.

And it does what it says -it heats a room, and you, fast! It only takes a second or two for it to come up to full heat. And that's a wonderful thing when you're trying to chase away a winter chill.

There's something about infrared heat in the way it penetrates to warm you all the way through. That's what makes a fireplace so warming. And this heater does that, plus you don't have to wait while you build a fire. You just plug it in, switch it on, and in seconds you are feeling the warmth.

There are two settings -on low the heating element has a bright, but still cozy orange glow. High has a very bright glow. A fairly quiet fan runs on both settings. There's also a thermostat. Of course the front screen gets hot, but the rest of the heater stays relatively cool to the touch.

There are lots of important safety instructions for using a room heater like this. For example, don't use an extension cord with this heater or plug it into a power strip; always plug it directly into a wall outlet. And keep the unit away from fabrics (you'll be surprised at how fast it heats up your clothes), and make sure it is set back from furniture. A brochure is included with the heater that covers this and and several other safety procedures.

The power cord on the unit measures six feet long, enough to get the heater near the center of an average 12' X 12' room and away from furniture.

Assembly is pretty much a one-step process. You just twist on the locking base and snap the power cord into its slot.

It has a carrying handle in the back, and molded-in cleats on which to wind the cord. And it is fairly light, so it is a very portable unit.

This thing's a winner.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I am updating my previous review because of some major issues with the heater. After owning it for a month, it would not stay on. The thermostat is supposed to regulate the heater so it turns off and on depending on the temperature in the room. It reached a point where immediately after it came on, it would shut off again after a few seconds. Then, it would not come on at all. Amazon kindly replaced the unit but now the same thing is happening to the new one. There seems to be a problem with the thermostat and it will not work properly.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program We don't often need heavy-duty heating in Arizona, but it can still get mighty chilly in the winter (or, as we had last week, during an unexpected cold snap). Ordinarily we depend on the heat pump part of the air conditioning unit for heat, except that the heat doesn't work well on the A/C at the office/bedroom side of the house. Mostly that isn't a problem since our computers and servers (let's not talk about how many many...) generate plenty to keep the offices warm. But our bedroom suite is cold, so for the past few years we have relied on space heaters. I don't want to take a shower in a room that's brrrrr 62 degrees.

These gizmos don't seem to last long, though. At least, I had to replace one a few years ago (I got a Lasko 755320 Ceramic Tower Heater in 2010, which is still cranking along). So I was particularly attracted to the Amazon Vine offer for the Bionaire BHH7522M-BM Instant Comfort Infrared Heater, which promised, "The Xpress Comfort Infrared Heater heats you and your room up quickly. This heater was designed to provide users with Instant Comfort. Within 3 seconds of turning the unit on, the heater starts to warm up users, allowing them to restore their comfort level quickly." And that, I'm pleased to report, is actually what I got.

And, since both of these are working fine, you get the advantage of a comparative review. Though really, the bottom line is that both do a very good job.

* The Lasko unit I got has the advantage of movement; the oscillation means that the heat is directed around the room, not just at ONE person's toes. (That's okay. I steal the quilt from him anyway.) But I haven't found that this makes as much of a difference with heat as it does with a cooling fan; once the heater gets the room to temperature, it's the ambient warmth you care about rather than the "huddled around the campfire" moment after you turn the thing on.

* The Bionaire is larger, which might be meaningful if you have to fit your space heater into a small space. It's on the ugly side, but I don't think that we buy these for beauty and nobody's putting the Lasko unit up for a Best Dressed award either.

* The Bionare heating element is very bright. That is, it glows enough that it serves as more than a night-light. Right now the unit is in a hallway, but it might be bright enough to be bothersome in the bedroom.

* The Bionaire controls are a bit more straightforward: no remote control (that's just another thingie for me to lose; maybe you care), just knobs. But it has only a 1-5 scale, which means you might need to fiddle with it a bit more to get the temperature just right. The Lasko lets us set it to, say, 72 degrees and it turns on and off to match that temperature. I have no idea how warm the room is with the Bionaire going.

* The Bionaire _does_ put out heat faster. With the Lasko, I find that I have to remember to turn it on 20 minutes before I want to go into the bedroom to shower. I haven't done a full side-by-side comparison (sorry, friends, but I'm not that dedicated), but the Bionaire does feel as though the room gets warmer a little faster. That sounds like a meaningful advantage, except that once I have a space heater going, it just generally stays on. The length of time from "Brrrrr" to "nice and toasty" isn't that big of a deal.

* Noise-wise, I think they're about equal. They aren't precisely quiet, but it's a "fan" noise that just becomes background white noise.

What I can't tell, without more research, is whether there's a meaningful difference in power consumption between the two units. Does that "instant comfort" mean a higher electric bill? I'm not motivated to play with the numbers since, honestly, a relatively high heating bill in Arizona is nothing in comparison to my air conditioning costs. (Don't ask. Really.) That isn't where I pinch my pennies. But you might think about it.

Both are good. Both do what they promise. If I were to buy only one, though, my vote would tip slightly towards the Lasko unit. First, it's a little cheaper; second, I appreciate the ability to set the temperature and let it adjust on its own. That's just a mild preference, though. You won't go wrong with either choice.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a nice big infrared heater with a fan and uses ~900 Watts on low setting, so you'd expect the heat output to be significant. But it's not, I can sit 2 feet from it in a 60 degree room and am barely warm, not hot. The fan is somewhat noisy but doesn't blow the warm air very far.

It has two controls, one thermostat knob (not marked with any particular temperatures), and one off/low/high knob. The thermostat controls at what temperature the heater will come on, so turn the knob if you're cold and you want more heat. But the thermostat needs work, the heater will turn on for only 5 or 10 seconds sometimes, the air gets warmer and then it turns back off. There needs to be a minimum time it will run once triggered, maybe 2 to 3 minutes at least.

The construction is plastic but seems solid enough. It's fairly understated and won't really stand out in a room. The heater element and front grate is of course metal. The top where the controls are is concave, which is an odd choice and seems like it would accumulate dust.

The heater will turn off if tipped, even a little bit. That's a safety feature, not a big deal.

Overall the heater works well but the fan is fairly noisy and doesn't seem to project the heat very far. It might heat a room but only a small one and at the 1,500 watt setting.

I bought this fireplace to go outside on my covered porch about six months ago. I was slow to provide a review as I at least wanted to see how it held up in this atmosphere after a few months. Well I really did not buy it for necessarily for a lot of heat , more for looks. And it has not let me down. It does produce heat but since my configuration is outside, I really cant say how much heat it would give off inside. But it is sure worth the try.... i love it and my back yard is an extention of my home.

We purchased one of these last year when our heat pump was running constantly, and costing us a fortune in heating bills. When we received it, I was sceptical but watched my meter, and received my first bill. WOW! My bill was reduced over $100.00 that month. I am a believer, so I bought one for my daughter in college, who loves it too.

The heater is powerful and blows air well. The problem is that a minor reason I purchased this was that I thought it would be quiet, but the blower makes a strange rattling noise. It isn't very loud, but it is noticeable. Worse, it is intermittent, so you can't even just get used to it.

While watching tv, it's perfectly fine, but once I'm ready for sleep, this heater is a bit annoying. I will probably move it to the living room or find a spot for it in the kitchen.

Honest reviews on Dr Infrared Heater DR998, 1500W, Advanced Dual Heating System

I've tried three different infrared heaters over the past month. The first was a $400 Comfort Furnace I purchased at Tractor Supply. I just couldn't justify keeping it (I needed two) when I could return it and buy two on Amazon for the price of one Comfort Furnace.

Here are the reasons I love this heater:

-It has a great oscillating option which helps move the heat around the room more efficiently.

-Option to view on the display the temp at which you set the unit, or the room temp. I find this very handy when I'm wondering what the temp is and when it might cut off.

-Low and High. Low uses half the wattage but doesn't compromise on the heat. The heat is so warm you can barely hold your hand in front of the output register for more than a couple of seconds. The other heaters I tried were blowing warm air on their low setting.

-Well constructed.

-Not super quiet but not noisy. A low, unobtrusive humming.

I have this in about a 700 sq ft space and have it set on "low" 60 so it is running fairly constantly. The auto temp is working however because I noticed last night it did cut off several times after reaching and maintaining my requested temperature, which is great.

Unfortunately, the humidifier leaked hence the four star rating. I contacted Amazon and they are sending me a replacement. Once I receive the replacement I will send this back (as to not go without heat I'm so happy they could do this for me). I read several other reviews stating the humidifier leaked/didn't work properly. I will report back once I receive the replacement. I'm really hoping I will receive a unit that has a working humidifier because I plan on using this feature a lot (and putting drops of essential oils into my water bottles).

Stay warm!

UPDATE ok so the replacement unit humidifier did not work either so I returned that one, too. The heater worked so great so I thought I would try one more time. The third replacement had a working humidifier! You can tell right away if it is going to leak. Find the plastic bottle adapter that best fits your bottle size/shape. Fill the bottle with water, screw on the adapter/top and hold it upside down. If there is ANY water dripping from the bottle, it will leak once you place it into the humidifier holder. I really wanted this product to work because I diffuse essential oils and thought I could place a few drops of essential oils into the water bottle and the humidifier would diffuse the scent into the air. In retrospect, after all of the return hassles, I wish I would have bought the one without the humidifier and used the extra money to buy a nice diffuser. Lesson learned. I still stand my my review that this is an excellent heater. I ran two all winter as my primary heating source and my electric bill only increased by $30.00 per month.

One more thing some infrared heater makers advise placing the unit on a sturdy tabletop or desk for larger areas. I found the unit to be significantly more efficient in my large areas while placed directly on the floor.

I recieved this product in the time they said I would and I love the heaters so much. I love the fact I can use a regular plastic soda bottle for the humidifier.

Reviews of Fahrenheat LFP6152 Portable Electric Hydronic Heater, 750

Customer Ratings:

The heater worked fine for a couple of years, then the power switch melted. I replaced the power switch with one having a higher current rating (30A vice 20A) and after a few weeks the unit began to emit a burning electrical smell. I disassembled it and found the Diode Assembly MELTED! A search on the net revealed that this is a common problem. Fahrenheat knows about the problem and even has a repair kit (DB Kit) for $36. The diode alone cost $10, plus $10 shipping. This is a $3 part if you know the specs.

If you buy one of these be aware of the potential DANGEROUS failures. I don't know how UL ever passed this product. It could be a fire hazard. If you don't believe me GOOGLE "Fahrenheat LFP6152 Diode." The fact that Fahrenheat knows about this problem to the point of developing an overpriced repair kit, and doesn't make it right, is inexcusable. I'll never buy another Fahrenheat product.

We use these heaters as a source of energy efficient heating for over 4 years now at our inn. They have an adjustable feature that supplies electricity to the silicone filled element to produce heat and then cut off the power when the silicone fluid gets hot. This feature saves energy. We also benefit from only heating those areas we want to keep warm by using zone versus central heat.

We bought them to reduce our usage of the central propane hot air furnace and have saved money by only heating areas needed and reducing propane usage.

They also help keep our yurts comfortable in the winter.

This heater works well for the 10x15 room which we use it in. It automatically adjusts the dual stage power to maintain the desired temperature. We're very pleased with its performance and its very reasonable price.

Honest reviews on Fahrenheat LFP6152 Portable Electric Hydronic Heater, 750

It works, but does do some strange clicking/banging sounds some times. Also, it switches from 750W to 1500W automatically so that it might blow the fuses in your space depending on what else you have plugged (such as another heater for another window). I would rate it 5 stars if they was a switch to control the 750W/1500W power.

The Farenheat Hydronic heater is an excellent area heater with no moving parts. The hydronic fluid in the heater core is very efficient using natural air convection. This is the large model, with two power levels (750 & 1500 W) automatically selected by the "Smartstat" thermostat, and has a length of 58" along the baseboard (where we use it).

The unit was shipped from an Amazon dealer, and it did arrive damaged in shipment, with one of the legs broken. I chose to repair the leg rather than return it and reorder another one. It took two weeks to get the unit after ordering.
