Thx for your time making this video > I've been searching YT to see if anyone mentioned the dimensions of this heater > no luck so far!

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

Thanks for watching. Glad the video helped. According to their website, these are the dimensions: Height:15" Width:13" Depth:12". Electric Cord: 72" long. Amps: 12.5

@calmand29 2 года назад

Just bought two of these for our mountain cabin as an alternate to running expensive propane in the Winter. Excited!

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

Excellent! Great idea. I think you'll like the heat they put out. Does your mountain cabin have a fireplace or wood stove?

@krislarsen6546 Год назад

The thing about infrared heaters it doesn't heat the air directly no it heats the objects like you for example or certain surfaces

@david7101 Год назад

How was it?

@willbrooks8853 10 месяцев назад

I have a couple of these. They are a little bit directional leaving some areas warmer and others colder so you may need to point it but it is a wonderful heater as once it is on you ignore it. Yes it doesn't heat air it heats objects. Then the objects once warmed help maintain the heat in the room. I love this item!

@PurpleCollarLife 9 месяцев назад

Thanks! It's certainly impressive compared to other space heaters we've tried over the years.

I have struggled for several years to get good seasoned firewood for my heat stove, but have ended up totally frustrated. Now, I am looking at the very heater you just showed on your video. I wish I had more insulation in this building, but I am heavily insulating the cabin I'm building. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Came across this video. Towards the end you said NW Penna. what town are you in? We’re over here north Mercer county and considering one of these since electricity has gone up 46% this past year

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

Glad you enjoyed the video. We are in the same vicinity. Our electricity hasn't gone up that much - thankfully! Our house all electric (no natural gas heat), so we supplement our heating with a wood stove and a pellet stove.

@willbrooks8853 10 месяцев назад

The example shown has the heater on a bench. Heating objects in visual line of the heater there won't help warm objects under the bench. Placement is very important to get just the right value of this heater for any space. I keep mine on the floor so it heats objects near my feet and the rest is in turn heated as heat rises.

I have 4 of these I keep 1 in my 28 ft rv it keeps it at 72 on eco outside it was 15°if you put it on high it heats faster then switch it to eco. The others one in 24x24 garage not insulated and keeps it at 67 it will heat 1000 sq ft o high at first then drop it to eco just eco alone at start won't help you we're in north east Pennsylvania the poconos

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

@Yournamehere1009 Год назад

I think it would've been a little more helpful to do the review of the heater in the normal mode instead of eco. It might have done the job if it wasn't throttled back from the eco setting. Not trying to be a hard ass but I still dont know how good it works on full power.

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

Thanks for watching and leaving the comment! We tried it in normal mode too. It definitely helps take the chill off in that large unfinished basement area. But it isn't designed to heat an area that large/uninsulated.

@jonro2955 2 года назад

I'd like to know if you can use it in your bedroom while you sleep? Will the sound and light keep you up at night?

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

I suppose it depends on how sensitive a sleeper you are. It does definitely create a glow in the room, and there is some noise from the fan. Personally -I’ve never tried to sleep in the room where this heater is used. I do wonder if the light would keep me awake - I like it pretty dark. But the noise definitely would not bother me. I prefer a fan or the air conditioner running.

@MsEmpress4life 6 месяцев назад

I have had one for over 15 years ( I and then had to get a newer model). It has a reservoir which is filled with water. Does it need to always have water?

@PurpleCollarLife 5 месяцев назад

Interesting! Ours doe not have a reservoir for water.

@johnstover4584 Год назад

I wish the remote could turn the heater on. But it can only turn it off and change the heat settings after you push the on button.

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

I thought the same thing. Maybe they worry that the remote button could be accidently pushed and turn the heater on when you didn't really want it on.

@Heat4Less Год назад

We just sent you an email... We would love for your honest review on our infrared heater. Ours makes 2x more heat than almost every other infrared heater on the market, using the same amount of heat. Hope to hear back from you!

@lynncrum Год назад

I have purchased three Heat4Less over the past few weeks. One for me and two others for family members. I have used MANY infrared heaters but there is no comparison to Heat4Less. They are fantastic! I strongly recommend them over any other infrared heater. For those of you who do not know, Heat4Less and Home Comfort are the same company. Excellent product, excellent service!

How does this compare to the edenpure heaters which look similar

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

I'm honestly not sure. I've never tried another brand that look like this. I know I have seen some other brands that look very similar - but have no experience with them. Great question. Keep us posted if you purchase the Edenpure version. Thanks!

@BHnNC 2 года назад

Question, after power outage, does it come back on? Thx

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

That’s a great question - thank you for asking. The answer is no. It does not automatically come back on. Even though the Power button is still pushed in, you have to press the right hand button (by Eco) to turn the heater back on. At least, that was my experience with the unit I had. Thanks for watching and asking.

I plan on buying 5 of these for my house since I don’t have central heat. Is it safe to leave it on eco for 24 hours a day?

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

We’d certainly appreciate if you’d use the Amazon link in the description if you’re buying them! As far as safety - I’m not sure how to answer that. I would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer or checking their website to see what it says. I don’t know if they’re intended to run 24/7 week after week, month after month. That’s a good question. Maybe there is a customer service number you can contact.

@diaperdood1 Год назад

@johnstover4584 Год назад

They have 3 prong plug ins so they handle heat alot better then two prong heaters.

@iamworthy1302 Год назад

Just set the degrees to something lower when you're leaving the house so it can shut off automatic, leave it at 60 and when you get home go up to 68. It should reach 60 while you're gone and auto shut off and on throughout the day

Is this an indoor heater,? Does the power cord get hot?

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

This is definitely an indoor use only heater. It’s not made for outdoor use. I did not notice the cord getting hot when I used it. You’ll want to make sure you use it with an outlet/curcuit rated heavy enough for the heater. Thanks for watching!

Does yours cut its self off at all?

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

You can use the remote to set a desired heating time. Then it will turn off after that amount of time. You can also set the desired temperature and the ECO feature will turn the heat on and off as needed. It's a pretty smart little heater.

@Nikki-bf3nv 2 года назад

@@PurpleCollarLife Thank you, ours cut its self off randomly so we unplugged it for a while in case it got too hot, checked the filter, etc., plugged it back in.

@drewa4235 9 месяцев назад

Fun fact: these units aren’t a true infrared heater. The company who makes them lie and they use a standard ptc (ceramic) heating coil in the bottom for most of their output, and a single quartz element where you can see it to make you think it’s a full infrared heater. How do I know this, I had one that the quartz tube quit in it but somehow it kept blowing out warm air, so I tore it down. These units are basically a 20 dollar heater being sold at a major premium….complete false advertising.

@sergioknuf Год назад

Why they say this 15000 watt heater that can on beat 150sqFt claim 400sqft

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

I’m not sure what square foot area they claim it will heat. I do know that it will take the chill off in that unfinished basement you see in the video. But it certainly won’t heat the space to a comfortable level on it’s own.

@jamesjross Год назад

Subdivided basement... Very Austrian.

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

That's true! But it's actually because that section of the basement was added along with an addition to the house.

@user-of3ei3cy7r 6 месяцев назад

I like that little heat a week up one again this year and it works like a charm. It Heats up the kitchen for us. So we don't have to use propane. We have a word burnished over in the back den that hates the rest of the house. This place is 3000 square feet. That heater in the fireplace is about. All we need to keep it around seventy eight degrees

Most people don't know there is zero difference between 120 volt electric heaters. ALL of them have a max rating (by law for safety) of 1500 watts. Some may be less wattage, like the compact models, but the max amount of power is always limited to 1500 watts. Since electric heaters are about 99%+ efficient converting electricity to heat, that means there is zero difference between any model heater. Power(heat) out is heat out. Period. Save your money buying "name brands" and just buy a UL listed model with 1500 max watts.

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

I've heard that. But I've also experienced that even though two heaters may be 1500 watts, sometimes the design of the heater does make a difference.
