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.

Powerful, Quiet Heat with Solid Build Quality
This heater does an excellent job warming up a room quickly and evenly. The infrared heat feels comfortable without drying the air, and it runs much quieter than many other 1500-watt heaters I’ve used. The controls are easy to use, the display is clear, and the wooden cherry cabinet gives it a sturdy, high-quality feel that blends well with home décor. It maintains temperature consistently and feels reliable for everyday use. A great choice if you want efficient, steady heat for indoor spaces.

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.

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 .

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 .

Superior and Natural-Feeling Heat!
I was immediately impressed with this Dr Infrared Heater Portable Space Heater right out of the box. The best thing about it is the quality of the heat. Unlike my old air-based ceramic or central heater, I don't feel the burning sensation on my face. The warmth it produces feels much more natural and is more even throughout the entire room. This makes a huge difference in comfort. The unit itself is lightweight and easy to move, making it perfect for moving between rooms as needed, and it boasts a nice, clean aesthetic. The controller works as expected, and the included extra plug-and-play instructions made setup a breeze. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a comfortable, efficient, and user-friendly space heater.

How to make this heat work like it should
You've just got to know how it works to get really great results, see below for what I found works best. I bought this heater during the Black Friday sales so I got a good discount and I was happy it arrived safe and sound. It was well packed and works as expected. After seeing some of the less than positive reviews I decided to do some testing to see how many watts this thing really pulls, and how well it really works. My results were interesting and these are anecdotal being that I only tested my heater and did not do a sample tests across a large batch but this is what I saw: The difference between High and Low is between ~1050 Watts and ~1470 Watts or so (there is fluctuation). This seems more or less in line with what the manufacturer claims, so it really is what they say it is. How to get it to work great: Pro-Tips 1. First make sure you have a thick enough extension cord if you're using one because it will pull almost 13 amps full out (U.S. Power grid) and do not overload the outlet/receptacle that you plug it into. Many receptacles in older homes are 15 amp and you can burn them up if you put too much on a single one. Newer homes have 20 amp receptacles so you have more forgiveness, but always, safety first. 2. To get this thing to work as it should, aim it at yourself. Really. No obstructions. None. Not a piece of paper, the cat, the dog, random extended family children coming to visit, NOTHING. This is infrared heat. How that works is that the heater is emitting infrared which heats up things in its path (you, or the couch, or whatever). This is not like a radiator type heater that uses convection and radiant type heating or a forced air heater that blows hot air into a room. You're not going to feel hot air blowing out of this thing or emanating from it in the same way as other heaters. Sit in front of it for a little while and you'll see, it works! You'll be warm and toasty and room won't be dry as a bone. 3. The thermostat is horrible. I almost deducted a star because of this but for me, I can control my heat myself, I don't need a thermostat. First the thermostat is located inside the cabinet, so what did I do? Of course, I relocated it outside. Problem fixed right? Nope, its so poorly calibrated it is several degrees off so I said to heck with it and stopped using it in that manner. Final Pro-Tip: Now that you know how to use it, try it on low. You'd be surprised how well low actually works when it's aimed at you. It also warms you up slowly and more comfortably in my opinion. This has been great for my Toy Hauler and RV and it saves you up to 30% power usage!

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.

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.
