We're bringing the heat! I'm sorry, the puns are just too easy. Portable Desk Heater - amzn.to/35kudSK TechBarn - / techbarnyt -- Misc -- Music from Epidemic Sound: goo.gl/JGlflE
Looks cool, would love speakers in such design! For your desk, while harder and needs to be planned ahead I think a infrared ceramic heater is the ultimate option. Doesn't dry out the air, focused heating to conserve energy and they make them in all sorts of designs so you could match it with your setup. The only con would be placement as it needs a place to be installed (well you could get one on wheels, but won't be as cool as a mounted option).
This is a great idea. I have a heater a little bigger than this one. Got it at a thrift shop a few years ago and it works great. The one in the video looks a lot nicer though. Any plans to make more desk setup gadget videos like this?
All that does is slow the removal of the cold air that is needed to heat up and send back to you. Making the heat take longer and raising your heating bill. Central heating is as much about removing the cold as pumping in heat. You don't want high and low pressure areas because it cost more. But if you're not paying the bill Roll That Coal amIright.
@@Mr.Unacceptable If he has a cold basement in the winter it's already out of balance. The return may be too large pulling most of the heat back through the furnace and dumping it upstairs. You can also close some of the upstairs returns a little instead. Not every house or HVAC system is built perfectly or survives a remodel. Edit: I should note this is a quick fix. Yes, there are better fixes like replacing most of the returns in the basement or upper floors with the properly sized ones or installing a zoning system but this will stop you from having to run electric heaters all winter long.
1500w is 1500w... This will probably a similar amount if not the same amount as that other heater, though I guess it'll be more focused air instead of hearing the room, so...
I was watching this video with my AirPods and i freaked out when the background music started. I thought there was a ghost playing a piano on the left side 😂
Try to be truthful. I have the same oil heater that you said cost "100 dollars per month" to run... and you either pulled that cost figure out of the air, or you live in the antarctic. I have had a basement office for years and pretty much everything in your review is wrong. I would strongly advise an oil heater for cold rooms unless you'd like to install baseboard radiators: portable oil heaters last for years, have no noisy fan, radiate to heat the whole room efficiently per watt of electricity, and are not overly expensive to run. Electrical costs are determined by the amount of electricity drawn (wattage) ... an oil space heater or baseboard radiator is among the most efficient for small rooms not well insulated, or a home that may not have even heating from the central air system... and especially cold basements. The formula for all home appliances (to determine both running costs and efficiency) is: wattage x hours used daily divided by 1,000 = kWh per day. Once you have this number, you can compare it to your monthly heating bill to see what appliances are costing you the most and perhaps when you choose to run the heater. Moreover, the oil heater is silent and so much better than these cheap fan-powered heaters that often don't even have sealed ball-bearings. They also attract and circulate dust (no air filtration), the fan bearings eventually fail because of that dust and they become even noisier and less efficient. They are fine for warming cold feet but are far from the best solution, and if you want to have one at your feet while you are seated at a desk for short period, then that is fine ...after a while though, the noise will irritate you and detract from your work. And, you should never place a heater on your desk. You place it on the floor...because heat rises. In a basement, your feet will still be cold if you place the heater as you have shown! Stay away from noisy fan heaters that draw huge wattages for their size and are overly hot in one spot. If I were the manufacturer of that oil heater you panned at the beginning, I would take legal action against you for lying about the amount of wattage they draw and their running cost per hour of usage. Your review is nothing more than an attempt to get people to buy through your affiliate link, has no scientific merit and is quite simply, wrong... in almost every aspect. - - Heating and Cooling Tech making these comments
