It's not the heater's fault

There are many 1500w heaters like this on the market and in terms of build quality this heater is great. Excellent instructions, beautiful and thoughtful block. The problem lies in the inherent lack of marketing of these heaters. These heaters are designed to heat a 150 to 350 square foot room. But all 1500W heaters produce basically the same amount of heat, and at 1500W the heater output is basically very limited. I kept this heater in a 180 square meter house. and the room thermometer has risen less than 1 degree. So my 1 star rating is just the main reason anyone would buy a heater - how well does it heat? And obviously my experience is that he doesn't deal with it at all. But again, don't blame that heater. 1500W heating power is no different from other 1500W heaters. This type of "static" heating means that the heat is simply radiated outwards and upwards. So if you stand 3 feet away in a room that's 50 degrees, you won't feel much heat. But when you stand above it, you get warm, like a few embers in a campfire. The only way to get better results from a 1500w heater is to buy one with a fan. With a fan, heat is dissipated much better, so even a few feet away from the device, you get a slight warm feeling with the fan blowing towards you.

Pros
  • It's fun
Cons
  • I'm worried
