#1:PELONIS PHO15A2AGB, Basic Electric Oil Filled Radiator,black space heater, 26.10 x 14.20 x 11.00
Infinite adjustability with a simple design
Used in the 10x12 he-shed, man-cave, etc. Heats softly/evenly with no immediate danger of setting the place alight during typical male Cro-Magnon knuckle-dragger antics. Three heat settings for effective energy management. Installed on a 120v thermostat controlled circuit so no feedback on the internal t-stat on the radiator unit. Simple design without all the chip based gizmos that tend to wear out prematurely.
Simple and eminently useful.
I heat my wood working shop with one of these and a small fan. Even with temps at 10BELOW for days at a time, this little jewel (and my little fan) kept my outside, detached 12x16 shop at a moderate 45 to 50 degrees -- set on low with moderate fine adjustment. My fan behind the heater blowing up through the louvered fins did a great job. When I came in to work, I simply set the temp to medium for a half hour or so and then was forced to set it back. Easy to use and inexpensive on the electric bill.
Love it..
OK, I know the winter is ending, but I bought this back in November to my man cave in the basement. I had one of the portable heaters with the fan, and no matter how quiet the manufacturers say they are, they are noisy. Anyway, I don't know about you, but my wife seems to think we can have a conversation with her talking to me from the top of the stairs, now it would be nice if she came down the stairs to talk to me, (she tracks the flights of stairs and steps daily using her $200 fitbit. :-)). So I ordered this one and it is perfect..It makes no noise, warms my man cave (about 10'x10') nicely and the best part is when the wife calls down to me and I don't have to turn off my heater so I can hear her or stop what I am doing and go over to the stairs to have a conversation. Love my wife, but she loves to talk to me from the top of the stairs...:-)))
Does it's job
I use it in my bedroom, which is 15x15. Heats up the room well. Doesn't seem to make it much more dry than it already is. Savings wise, I was a little disappointed after using it exclusively for a month; my electric bill went up $100, but I must admit that it was on almost constantly. My gas bill also dropped $25 as a result of setting my thermostat to 65f. I seriously doubt it would ever save money, but my gas heat is forced air, and my neighbors cigarette smoke gets vented into my unit when I use it, so using this oil heater provides for other benefits that make it useful in the winter, in my use case.
Love the 3 optional wattage settings
I am using this in the living room/kitchen area of my 38ft Fifth wheel RV. I love being able to choose between 600, 900, or 1500 watt heat settings., as fulltime trailer living can be a challenge if running multiple electrical items at the same time. I have used both the 900 & 1500 watt settings and have not tripped the breaker with standard household items in use (ie, TV, Wi-FI router, lamp, laptop and cell phones charging). I'm not noticing a burn off smell that I have read has been an issue with some brands, and requires a few days of use before the smell goes away. I chose the design with knobs as I like the idea of being able to plug it in to a smart home device in order to turn it on/off over Wi-Fi. Although, I have not tried this yet. Metal unit is sturdy and is keeping a very drafty 10 x20 area at a steady and comfortable temperature.
A great buy for a cold winter bedroom
I live in AZ and we do have cold nights in the winter. I realized that we needed an additional heater in the bedroom as the master bedroom gets a good bit colder than the rest of the house. This was a great addition and puts out just enough heat that our bedroom is not too hot but just comfortable. It heats up quickly and cools down quickly too. For safety, we do not sleep with it on but will turn it off right before bed. If you are in need of something similar-- definitely pick this up.
Excellent safe space heater with good controls.
A very good oil-filled heater. Very quiet, with easy to use controls. My wife uses it in her home office; and at night I can leave it on "low" to keep the chill off. Very economical too: we don't want to spend many hundreds of dollars each month on natural gas to heat the whole house; so this heater does a great job for a fraction of the cost of natural gas. We live in Northern California and I think the natural gas rates here are very high. I plan to order another one.
