Great Little Heater That Really Delivers
I’m really impressed with this 1500 Watt space heater! It heats up quickly and does a great job of warming the room without being noisy or bulky. The size is perfect—it fits easily in our upstairs space, and it’s lightweight enough to move around when needed. I bought if for my wife who uses it every cold morning while getting ready for work. Definitely a great value and something I’d happily recommend to others.

Good price to performance
This is one of the best infered box heaters I've ever used . Can feel the heat blowing out at an acceptable distance and fan is pretty powerful. Temperature sensor works great and puts out great amount of heat for a medium to large room . the thermostat click is little louder than others I've used but isn't to loud either . Works great on auto temperature shuts off and turns on like it should. It has a timer but I've never used those as I like setting temp and forgetting about it . Has a cleanable air filter and remote too . I would recommend this brand and may buy another one for my gameroom . I've used these kinda heaters for years and have experienced many brands . The most common issues about these style heaters with other brands are issues with temperature sensor being incorrect and or not coming on when temp drops because it's not reading the drop in temp correctly . some just don't put out hot heat and or have a weak fan .

GREAT HEATER
I heartily recommend this heater. the Dr Heater 1500 watt heater. It has great heat and fan output and keeps my living area warm. It is easy to adjust the temperature up or down as needed. The automatic shut off on the heater is great and the fan keeps blowing the stored heat out at a lesser heat and fan speed to maintain the temperatue set until more heat is needed and the heat element kicks on again. The fan is very quiet and I don't have to use earphones when watching TV to keep the volume from annoying the neighbors. I use this new one in the space between bedrooms and have had to reduce the temperature so I don't sweat at night. The old one I use in the living area and it keeps that area nice and warm I bought two of these in 2018 and used them in a 500+ sq ft apt. One of the heaters is like this new one I just got. The second one did not have the heat or fan output but at the time that was OK. I used the better one in the living area and the lesser one in the bedroom where I did not need so much heat. I am sure if I had wanted to I could have returned the lesser one but at the time it did what I needed it to do and did not want the hassel. I now have over 700+ sq ft. and after the last two winters where I have had to layer on layers to keep warm in addition to wrapping up in down throws I finally got out the heaters to try to keep warm. Again the lesser one did not put out the heat or fan power I needed. After using these two for a few days I decidied to replace the lesser one and am now writing about the new one I got. It has the heat and fan power I need to keep my place warm without the layers and the down throws. I like the fact that the fans are quiet and the temperature is automatic, shutting off the heating element when not needed but the fan continues to throw out the stored heat maintaing a comfortable. temperature. I have put the lesser heater away for possible future use should I need a back up for the older heater until I can replace it. I can not address the electricity used as I have not received an electric bill yet for using the heaters. I have turned off my furnace and I enjoy the lack of noise from the furnace and its fan. I also enjoy not having the dust kicked out by the furnace. At my age I need to be kept warm and will willing pay for more electricity if it is needed. I hate the high electric bills I have in the winter when I don't get the heat I need. Rather long winded review but as I said in the first output this is a great heater and the price is very affordable.

Heats Quickly and Keeps the Room Cozy
This infrared heater works really well and heats up the room quickly. I use it to supplement my main heat, and it makes a noticeable difference in keeping the space comfortable. It’s easy to use, the controls are straightforward, and I like being able to set the temperature instead of constantly adjusting it. It’s also quiet, which is great for using while watching TV or sleeping. Overall, it’s a reliable little heater and definitely helps cut down on how cold the room feels.

Safe! Left on for a week straight, no problems.
This thing is a beast. It’s the second one I’ve purchased and it’s great. First thing is it’s safe . Safety is very important especially with these space heaters. My son accidentally left this on for a week straight, in the winter, in a window room that is not insulated. So the thing was on the whole time pumping heat and thank goodness it didn’t start a fire. Second thing is it works and does a really good job. I have a 2 bedroom condo and it does a good job of heating the main living space even when the main heater is off. It easily warms up the bedrooms and keeps them nice and toasty 😁. Third it’s easy to use, just plus it in and press the power button. It has a remote if you want to be lazy and not get up from your comfy cozy warm couch to adjust the temperature .

Definitely Recommend
My house has propane heat and a faulty furnace so I bought this little guy to to keep us warm when our heats not working and to keep propane costs down. We have this running all day, we turn it off at night sometimes depends how cold it is outside. It really cranks out some heat we keep it in the middle of the house and whatever direction its point in stays over 70 degrees. If I had 2 I could heat my whole house and not use any propane. It is really holding up well and putting out a lot of heat for how much we use this. It’s also relatively quiet, no smells. It doesn’t oscillate but it’s on wheels so that’s handy for sure, the remote is also handy but we don’t use it much.

Debo aclarar que fue enviado en tiempo record a Mexico DF (2 días hábiles) y definitivamente está por encima de mis expectativas. Abajo explico lo bueno, lo malo, y mi conclusion. ** Lo bueno ** -Muy rápido para calentar habitaciones grandes, justo luego de encenderlo se puede empezar a sentir calor, pero debes estar frente a él -Muy silencioso, realmente no se siente, ideal si lo quieres usar mientras te quedas dormido o si eres muy sensible -La estructura es muy sólido, el acabado es en madera, y realmente es muy robusto y elegante, ademas que las ruedas hacen facil su transporte de un lugar a otro -No reseca el aire, esta fue la principal razon de comprarlo, pues con niños en casa para evitar problemas respiratorios era un punto relevante. luego de usarlo puedo decir que el cambio en el aire es imperceptible, ni en la piel, ni en los ojos, tampoco en las vias respiratorias. ** Lo Malo ** -La temperatura no se muestra en grados Celcius, otros calefactores puedes cambiarles la escala para mostrarlo en F o en C, este no -Las rejillas se calientan bastante, si tienes niños en casa, debes tener cuidado que no toquen las rejillas mientras esta en operación ** En conclusion ** Definitivamente lo volveria a comprar y lo recomiendo, luego de un mes de uso siento que ha sido la mejor opcion posible, antes tuve algunos ceramicos, de aceite, etc. pero este ha sido el mejor de todos por desempeño, en especial en habitaciones amplias (en mi caso de 40 metros cuadrados), su sistema hibrido que no reseca el ambiente, es fabuloso, la funcion de termostato y timer son realmente utiles, la solidez en su acabado, sumado a los componentes de seguridad lo hacen es un gran producto.

I have an open concept +1000sqf space I'm trying to compliment while trying to lower my nat. gas bill. On it's own, it won't heat the space unless you're okay with warming the person nearest and in front of the heater. However, with my nat. gas thermostat lowered to 18C, this heater does a great job doing the rest to make the large room very comfortable. This time last year, at our local rates, it was costing me close to $600 per month to heat this house. My last two bills averaged $350 and it's been between -44C and -10C for most of that time. There have been rebates for energy that I have yet to factor in but there is a noticeable difference in room temperature when this heater is running. When I leave the house, I turn the heater off but I still allow the nat. gas furnace to run at 18C so when I get home, I do notice the difference in room temperature when the heater has been off for a while. I highly recommend.

Best heater ever......nice buy...

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 value UPDATE been 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 often 2ND YEAR OF USE STILL WORKING WELL HEATS my 30x16 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 heaters mow 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

Es por mucho una de las compras que más he pensado por todo los riesgos que tienen otros calentadores. Tenemos con él mes y medio, y es muy fácil de usar (lo opera realmente gente más grande como mis abuelos o papás), confiable, mi gato no estornuda, ni se asusta con el ruido PORQUE NO HAY RUIDO, calienta súper bien área chicas o medianas y su sistema automático de temperatura es muy útil para no sobrecalentar el área. Realmente el mayor ganador de mi corazón, fue Amazon Prime que paso de tardar 6 días hábiles a traerlo a la CDMX, a 2 días desde Las Vegas.
