Air Choice PTC-1500F: worth every penny of the $40 it costs

This is the third small heater I've bought, the first was a DeLonghi electric oil cooler and the second was an electric Taotronics cooler cooler oil, like here at Revain. Both were quiet during operation, which I really wanted, but neither could heat my small 80 square foot room more than two degrees above ambient, and neither were able to maintain those two degrees for 8-10 hours, ie they returned. I didn't want one with a fan because of the noise they make, but after looking at all the other electric oil heaters with radiators I decided to go with a fan. If you plug the heater into a standard 15 amp 120 volt AC outlet then 1500 watts is the maximum you can have and since the two electric oil filled radiator heaters I bought had 1500 watts on the highest setting, try this heater. I think I would just have to choose one with a fan. I wanted a very simple heater that I could control with a wall switch or a wifi switch, which means it couldn't contain any electronic circuitry because they wouldn't turn back on. with wall switch or wifi switch. This small heater from Air Choice, model PTC-1500F, also has a maximum output of 1500 watts, but because it has a fan, it helps disperse hot air very quickly, say within seconds of turning it on. Yes, it's directed behind the fan, but if left on long enough it warms up the entire room. It's very small, very light and only has two controls, very simple and just what I need as I control it with a wall switch so once I have the knobs where I want I never touch the heater again got to. I enter the room, flip the switch and warm up. I can leave it on when I'm not in the room or just flip the switch when I leave the room and it will turn off. Cons: Loud fan. Well I knew it had a fan and I knew it would make noise and I definitely don't like it because I can't hear what's going on in other rooms of my house. I measured the sound level in my ears while sitting at my desk about a meter from the heater and the average is 55dB, see attached figure. Although this is not considered a loud noise, remember that it is constant. You can't control the fan speed, so it always produces 55dB at 200-220Hz, drowning out virtually every other noise in the house. I wish I could control the fan speed, but whether you run this heater on low or high speed, the fan will run at a constant speed. This little heater is a good buy and does a much better job than those quiet electric oil radiator heaters when you need to run a 120v heater at 15amps.

Pros
  • Same as everything before
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
