Reviews of Optimus H-9010 Garage/Shop Ceiling or Wall Mount Utility Heater

I purchased this heater because I had good experiences with a Marvin infrared heater of similar design and capacity. The Marvin failed after many years of dependable service, and since they are no longer in business I choose this Optimus brand.

I purchased my first Optimus H-9010 about a month ago, and have been so pleased with it that I purchased a second one which I installed yesterday. Here are my impressions:

o The stated specification of 600/1200 Watts is incorrect or has been changed. My heaters are clearly labeled as being 750 / 1500 watts, and testing with an amp meter confirms this is about right as it draws 6.3 / 12.3 amps.

o The installation is easy and convenient, the mounting bracket is long enough to straddle two studs spaced 24 on center. Mounting bolts are included.

o Once mounted, the heater can be rotated through 90 degrees that is tilted 45 degrees off vertical each way.

o Build quality seems good, about the same as my original Marvin heater. Indeed, aside from the addition of the light, this Optimus seems to be the same design as the Marvin.

o The unit needs to burn off a bit of factory residue, and it will stink a bit for the first 30 minutes of run time. After this period it runs clean with no smells or odors whatsoever.

o The cord is a generous 82 inches. If you must use an extension cord, make sure it is at least 14 gauge and as short as possible.

o The switch, activated by tugging on the convenient cord, has the following modes:

(0)-Off

(I)-Lamp On

(II)-one quartz element glows (750 Watts) & Lamp On

(III)-both quartz elements glow (1500 Watts) & Lamp On

o The light is a 25 Watt Halogen bulb with a G9 base. It swivels in up-down and left-right so it can be aimed where you want it. Of course this is too tiny a lamp to be used by itself for any serious work, but it never hurts to have extra light in ones shop. I like it, and I don't mind that it is always on while the heat is on, but if it's a problem I guess one could just remove the bulb.

o Operation of the unit is completely silent, with the exception that there are some slight noises as it begins to warm up (due to metal expanding, I presume).

o There is no built in thermostat, the unit is either on or off which is probably adequate for most folks. I rigged up a wall mounted thermostat that powers a ceiling socket, so I can set the heat to any desired temperature (typically about 55-60 degrees), and have found this quite convenient as I can turn down the heat when I'm not in the shop (to about 40) but still ensure that it will not freeze.

o This ceiling mounted heater seems very safe in a dusty environment such as a woodworking shop, because it points down, keeping the red hot rods clean and dust free. In about 5 years of use (with my original Marvin heater) I never had any safety issues, even though I occasionally allow some heavy dust to accumulate on the top of the unit.

o Another nice effect of these ceiling heaters is that when I have glue-ups or finishing jobs I can place them on the bench directly under the heater and they will cure faster than if place off in a colder corner.

As stated in the title, I use this heater in my woodworking shop, which is actually a converted double garage, about 680 square feet in size, located in the Southern Interior of BC Canada. It is insulated, with a wood floor over the concrete slab. The automatic garage doors, which leaked a lot of air and heat, have been removed and walled in. Before I removed the automatic garage doors and covered the cement floor with wood, I was able to keep things from freezing with just a single 1500 Watt infrared heater in fact I was usually able to keep the shop at 50 degrees or better if I allowed the heater to run long enough.

If a single heater was sufficient for my original cement floored shop, you may be wondering why I need two heaters after I've added a cozy wood floor and improved the insulation. It is so that I can better spread the heat around (by running each on half power 750 watts), and also because I can run them both full blast for the first half hour or so to bring the shop up to a comfortable temperature faster (about twice as fast, in fact).

A quick word about comparing heaters to each other. Virtually all electric heaters produce an identical amount of heat per watt. So, in the long run, any 1500 Watt heater, say a fan based unit, will make a room as warm as any infrared heater that is also 1500 watts. The difference lies in what gets warmed up first. A fan based heater first heats the air, and the air then heats the stuff in your shop, including you. The infrared first heats the stuff it's pointing at, which then eventually heats the air. If it's pointing at you, well you feel warm right away, but if it's not, then you don't feel much warmth until the whole room is warm.

If you are comparing this heater to non-electric units, it's best to compare BTUs. This one puts out about 5,000 BTUs.

Hope this was useful.

THIS THING ROCKS!

I absolutely love this heater. I've had it for quite some time now and it puts out a good amount of warmth in my garage.

No, it doesn't make the entire garage an 80º paradise on freezing winter nights, but it does help, and quite a bit. I installed it just above and behind my work bench area and in just a few minutes I can feel the air get noticeably warmer.

WELL worth the money. Would recommend to anyone who works in the garage on cold days/nights.

It installs easily, too.

It took over 2 weeks for my order to ship so be warned that if you order this item it won't be received for around 3 weeks. It's identical to other heaters which have a different brand name, and it's cheaper but you have to hunt for it by looking for the Optimus heater and then click on the cheaper price which comes up unless you want to pay around $70. I got mine for $46.

The mounting bracket is pure crap; a soup can is made of stouter steel. Thankfully the heater unit is very light and long, sturdy screws are included for screwing into wall or ceiling studs. There's a fair bit of heat which escapes from the slits in the housing on the top of the unit which ends up hitting the ceiling. Your ceiling will get warm but not HOT.

Like others have done, I didn't really need the halogen light in the unit so I removed the bulbs. I wonder how much cheaper the heater would be without including the light.

I tried to buy several units, but the manufacturer Hudson is a pain to work with! The person on the phone said he had experience installing these units, but when I asked about flow rates, resistance, etc (just basic questions), he admitted he didn't "really" have installation experience. You're pretty much on your own if you buy one, and if their pre-sales support is so bad, I bet they're an equal pain to return things to if/when they break. They also have no phone number in North American -just in the UK, so they are conveniently open at 3.30 am EST (half past midnight West Coast time), but you have to have an international calling plan to talk with them. Like I said -what a pain! I'll post a US or even any North American supplier when I can find one ....

UPDATE: 11/30/12 -I found a local alternative here in the USA! Myson, Inc prides themselves on great customer service, and they got me to a very technically smart guy within 1 minute of calling with no hold queues or annoying hold music. And they are 1/3 cheaper than Hudson!! I hope they advertise on Amazon, but meanwhile you can compare for yourself at

Note -I have no affiliation with any of these companies, and I get no payment or kickback or anything for my opinion. :-) I just like honest, quality products and customer service, and being given a line by a self-professed "expert" by Hudson with no US phone support (only UK, and no easy phone calls only reeaally slow chat line -I think they use a dial-up modem ?!?! -really irked me.

Best Programmable thermostat TH140-28-01 Deals

Customer Ratings:

For three years we have had two of these Aube 7-day units controlling two zones of radiant heat from an oil-fired boiler. We have been very happy with their trouble-free operation. I later purchased another brand that was on sale but found it was not as convenient as the two Aube units I was using. I then decided to purchase a third Aube TH140-28-01 thermostat, and I again find it the easiest to program and use, and again it is a thermostat that evenly controls the room temperature. This new Aube unit is working adjacent to another radiant zone's manual thermostat and is connected to an LPG 3-sided glassed fireplace. We keep the radiant zone at 67F. The digital thermostat comes on at 6 AM abd warms the open living area and kitchen zone to 72F and maintains that temperature until evening when the digital drops back to 64F, which then allows the radiant portion to keep the floors warmed at 67F through the night. My result has seen a true cost savings of more than $200 half way through our cold Maine heating season. We are now the most comfortable we have been in the past four years. I truly recommend this Aube thermostat. It is easy to program and install.... and it looks nice on the wall. Also, if I over-ride the program momentarily, I leave the door cover open as a reminder that I need to return it to its programmed control.

I did not purchase this AC from Amazon, I purchased it from Waldbaums just days ago. This is the worst air conditioner I have ever purchased. It is made of plastic and styro-foam and does not keep the room cool. I run it on high all night and the room is luke warm imagine if I tried to run it during the day when it is really hot! Save your money, even at $99.00, which I paid, it is a waste of money. I would of returned it but, I am a 65 year old women and it is quite heavy for me to handle. It was hard enough to bring it home.

Mr. Heater F276328 Propane or Natural Gas Male Excess Flow Plug Review

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $12.20
Sale Price: $11.69

I bought this hoping to connect a grill to the quick-connect fitting on the outside of our 2007 travel trailer. Unfortunately, there are no other details telling what this plug fits, even after a thorough web search including Mr. Heater's own website. I can now tell you that it does not fit this type of quick-connector. Rather than going through the hassle of returning a $10 item I attempted to find out what it takes to make it fit.

First off, the excess flow mechanism of this plug is a small ball-bearing that is pressed into the back of the plug if the flow is too great, either reducing or cutting off the flow. Since the propane is already regulated, this is not required. It also seemed to restrict the flow some.

Second, the retaining ring for the ball-bearing makes the hole of the plug too small. Stopping the flow of propane from the quick-connector.

Third, the tip of the plug too long and if you can get it locked into the connector it will cut-off the flow to the plug.

To get around these problems and make it work for my set up, I drilled out the retaining ring, removed the ball-bearing, and ground the tip down about an 1/16 of an inch. Works perfectly now.

The quality of the plug is fine, Amazon shipped it fast, its just the lack of information on this is the problem. If you know for sure you need this exact plug, you probably won't be disappointed. There is another plug that is not excess flow, that looks very similar, but beware if it is exactly same it may not work for an RV quick-connector. Hopefully this will help anyone else looking for the same connector.

Best Kozy World KWN121 10,000-BTU Vent-Free Natural-Gas Infrared Wall Deals

Customer Ratings:

I like the appearance. I usually replace such units within 5 years due to changes in the fire from buildups. The unit burns very cleanly with no odors. It sits in the living room next to my desk, yet projects radiant warmth across the room 15 feet away to the easy chair. It makes the living area most comfortable with 100% efficiency. An added bonus is that natural gas flames make moisture, so the colder it gets outside making drier outside air, the moisture produced by combustion of hydrogen and oxygen makes more water, so a humidifier is unnecessary.

After having wrong unit sent, returned item at my own expense to Amazon. Several days later they sent the correct item by FedEx. Other than the first shipped incorrect item, the unit is excellent. I replaced an 18,000 btuh natural gas unit with this 10,000 btuh unit, as the larger unit never ran longer than 15 minutes at a time, which indicates it was too large. The heater works the same as the old unit using its built-in thermostat.

You may not want to purchase this heater. If you do I hope you are handy with tools or know a good pipefitter (plumber).

Part of the installation instructions indicate that all the fittings need to be checked for leaks. Mine had several. One fitting that raised a large bubble indicating a slow leak was to the rear of the unit and impossible to reach with a wrench let alone a wrench and a backup wrench. Paying a pro to disassemble everything and put it back together so it doesn't leak could prove to be more than the cost of the unit.

The instructions indicate that things may loosen up in shipment and boy was a true statement. The two fasteners that attach the pilot light assembly apparently were so loose that they fell out of inner frame work, out of the unit and out of the factory box it was packaged in and out of the external shipping box. The pilot light assembly was flopping around inside nowhere near where it should have been. I'm surprised the tubing didn't crack from the constant flexing if must have endured in shipment.

Installation calls for putting in a drip tube a minimum of three inches from the the gas input line. There will be no problem here for a wall installation but if plan to use the optional floor mount legs they do not allow enough clearance to put one in.

Finally when disposing of the shipping boxes I found a copy of a letter from a gentleman in California returning the unit. Had I known I was buying returned goods, I probably would have not purchased this product

p.s. Before you elect to use corrugated stainless steel tubing on this or any other heating device

please Google CSST and read about the potential lightning danger.
