WarmliteWL42013 Infrared Heater with Oscillation, Overheat Protection, Black

I have used a cheap little shin height halogen heater for years and thought it's time to try something new. (halogen light hurts my eyes and only 1 bulb was still working, most of you probably know the kind of heater I mean)THIS 1kw carbon element heater is SO MUCH BETTER!It is very low noise, beyond the odd click and creak as the heated parts expand, it's fair to say it is silent.The oscillation has a minor ticking noise associated, no more or less than you would be familiar with.At the level "low" it draws about 475W (smart meter estimated reading) and puts out enough heat to rival 2bars on a halogen (honest opinion, as it covers a larger area)On the level "high" the heat is STRONG and draws about 975W, you can sit on your lounge sofa, a good 1.5 meters away from this heater and get a full body heat applied.I mostly keep mine on "Low" and never feel the need to increase power.Because....The design is a huge positive!!! not only does it look nice and sleek, the element is mounted vertically and covers a full 45cm (18") of heated space (full cover on both "low" and "high")As mentioned, halogen bulb light hurts my eyes, this does not have such an effect. like any light source, don't look directly at it.. but having it facing you isn't going to cause eye discomfort as far as I noticed.(If you're shoving your face up close, you only have yourself to blame for any baked eyeball sensations)It is light and well balanced, with an easy to hold handle on the back if you need to move while still hot.Has a safety cut off that trips when lifted or tilted.Oscillation feature is handy to span ~70⁰ of space (as you would expect, it heats best what it is directly facing)On top of it being a great product, the manufacture offers an extended 2yr warranty when registered.Will update review should I ever need to use.So I highly recommend as a low cost heater.

I’ve had one of these heaters for 10 years it still works but needed a new 1 for my bedroom as there cheap to run .i ordered this one Delivered day later .Its easy to put together just make sure the screws are tight .Heater itself is exactly same as the 1 I have it’s great plus this one has a excellent heat at low setting High setting is brilliant heated my room in few minutes .I’d highly recommend this heater .oh also my cat has a terrible habit of knocking into it when she’s having a mad half hour as it’s lightweight .no problem as it cuts straight out if knocked over .i can’t hear much noise when it rotates .very easy to use plus as I said it’s got a safety cut out if knocked over .quite cheap to run .goid price as well .highly recommend.

This is an excellent infrared heater at a very reasonable price. I have taken a star off as not the most sturdiest of builds and feels a little wobbly. But on the upside using the inbuilt carry handle at the top of the unit makes it very easy to move around a house or room. The fact that it can swivel is a bonus but due to its slightly unsteady stance I keep it in its “fixed” directional state.Fantastic that it has a Low power and well as High power setting. I have tested this unit myself and on High Power which gives a surprisingly strong and directional heat it uses just under 1.0 kW of energy. On Low power it uses around 0.4-0.5kW. So CHEAP to run and still gives off a lovely heat to a distance of around 4-6 feet. The swivel function means it uses a little more energy but this is minimal. (0.48kW instead of 0.4kW) and the low power setting is more than enough to keep a person warm albeit on one side of the body if the heater is on that side! And therefore makes it a very cheap heater to run compared to a conventional fan heater or even an oil filled radiator. It does however give enough heat to gradually warm a small room up like my wife’s study. When you do lift the heater when On, it has a drop switch which immediately turns the unit off for safety. The actual filament and grill get very very hot so not ideal too use this around small children (or inquisitive pets?).The socket cable is about 1.5m long which is typical for most home heating equipment which can limit its positioning in a room but on its lower power setting I think this would be safe when plugged in to a suitable extension lead unlike other heating equipment like an oil filled radiator (1-2.5kW+) or fan heater (2kW+) which use a lot more electricity and thus more power and and therefore are at more risk of overheating such an extension lead.

This is very nice and energy efficient, writing it after using this for 3 months.it has very little not noticeable noise. You feel instant warm when you come home from very cold and you just sit near it. It also works well in bigger area like king size room. it has two heat setting high(1000w)and low(500w)and also has rotational setting. it's somewhat bigger than other electric one so not that light in weight but manageable. Also it's big and take some space, but it's safe and is very bright.
