works well - but you have to know how to use a radiant heater
works well
keeps bedroom warm at night so
we dont need to run the furnace heating the whole house
radiant heaters need to be near a wall
preferably where a window lets cold air in
they heat the air and it curculates up and around the room
they do not radiate out next to you so dont put them in the middle of the room like a ceramic space heater with a fan
ours worked well but is now not heating as much
still working though
will try on medium setting instead of low
getting two more at home depot on sale
dont get fooled by the bad reviews by people who dont know how to use a radiant heater
but dont overlook the ones that said they had failures of switches or leaks etc
failures should be rare but do happen with any product
stupid users should be rare but are all too frequent
Sketchy Knob
I bought this heater to warm a small one bedroom (barely insulated) home and it did well when the temperatures outside ranged from 40-55 degrees but when it got into the teens and 20s outside, this thing could not compete. Typically I find that it raises the inside temperature about 17-21 degrees above the outside temp. When it was in the teens and twenties, I was only seeing about a 15 degree increase, on high all of the time.
I am pretty accepting of the fact that there was typically a consistent 20 degree increase in temperature, but now that mine has stopped working completely, I'm not such a big fan of this giant thing just taking up space in my room. I'm almost 100% sure that the problem is a faulty dial/knob. When I first started having issues with this knob was when for some weird reason it wouldn't turn on high anymore... only med and low. Then it stopped turning on when I turned it to med, only working on low. Then the orange "on" light started blinking when I...
Buy a better quality heater
My delonghi floor heater quit working after about 10 years so I went to home depot to buy another affordable one. I ended up picking the pelonis because it was on sale. The first thing I noticed was the pungent odor it gave off so I didn't really want it in my bedroom where the air would be enclosed so I used it as the kitchen heater. Then, after a few weeks the plug melted so I replaced that. After a couple months the smell went away but then I started noticing burn marks on the outer surface of the metal from it running at a high temperature day in and day out. The metal began to warp so that I couldn't roll it properly either. Finally, after owning it for a total of 4 months it burnt out. I really wish I would have saved my money for something else.
