Review on 🔥 Pelonis PHO15A2AGB Basic Black Electric Oil Filled Radiator Space Heater - 26.10 x 14.20 x 11.00 inches by Cathy Sharp

Unit works well as I expected. So far I can only say good things. I will update if my mind changes. I bought 2 heaters as I'm not a contract worker and don't often need to heat the entire space, just a 20x20 bedroom and/or 15x12 bathroom. I'm going to get a little wordy here and try to debunk some of the armchair junk science being thrown around and maybe make it a little fun for some. In short, let the noise levels and temperature swings of cycling do the trick for you unless you like the one or the other - but don't be fooled. Odor. As the paint cures and a coating/film fades, an initial odor will develop. Thorough wiping can shorten the duration of the odor nuisance (outgassing). Those who say there is no primal smell simply don't have optimal senses (and how many people have you ever heard say their senses are deadened - not a single one!) - people don't know what they don't know. Think about it for a moment or more. Trust the canaries - they are mostly impartial and will tell you something. The fact that a person cannot feel something does not mean that everything is fine and alright. Thermal Performance Thermal performance is as expected - not because I say so, but because the laws of physics say so. These laws rarely and rarely change from the chair. Power is power, or, in a kind of unity, power is power (except for minor imperfections). With that in mind, a 1500W ceramic heater (100V x 15A) and a 1500W oil cooler will produce the same heat transfer (one may be more directional, more damped/diffused, or quieter than the other). The oil and fins merely distribute the direction of heat dissipation/transfer and dampen relative temperature fluctuations when the device is running - smoothing the temperature over time or peaks (other properties are usually imaginary). 1500 watts per hour is 1500 watts per hour - unless there are larger losses somewhere (sine, square, RMS aren't really differences here). The losses here in the heater itself produce HEAT - heaters are interesting devices, they can be crude and their behavior for a given power input is fairly stable. This is in contrast to, for example, air conditioning, where inefficiency (less heat removal) produces counterproductive heat (warm = bad). This oil-filled heater transfers no more and no less heat to an enclosed space of a given size than any other heater, as far as we dumb people can understand (some small drawbacks that also generate waste heat, loss is victory). !). Any other fix is basically irrelevant to normal people. 0. Temp The temperature setting works perfectly (provided there are no defects in your device). The temperature settings here probably aren't the best in F or C as that may be confusing for some. The best (relative) scale would be 1-10. Marketers took over the engineers again. That's why the temperature setting is stupid. First off, devices of this nature use a cheap 20 cent DS1820b sensor at best, or maybe even something less accurate, such as a B. Bimetallic coils in older thermostats - not sure here (didn't read the details, it doesn't matter to me). In fact, these bimetallic coils work quite well, if not faulty (there is over 100 years of experience). The next level solid state temperature sensor costs over $5. But it doesn't matter how accurate they are for many other reasons. First, you are a fallible person subject to subjective influences (think speaker wire, what a subject that ignores blind testing). If someone had a $100 temperature sensor, it would no longer be of any use to us stupid people (except for obsessive-compulsive disorder). Where is the temperature measured? At the oil tank? Beside him? What does "close" mean? 6 cm away? At a distance of 10 feet? Is the device in a 10x10 space? 30x30? Is there forced circulation in the room or to or from other rooms? What about humidity (5% vs. 95%) and how it affects the heat moving through a given space? So many variables to consider. Having 10 "highly" accurate temperature sensors spatially placed in a room and averaged doesn't mean much in the real world anyway - are you really worried about keeping a spider in the room? Cozy and cozy corner? Our human concerns here are mostly stupid, biased, and subjective. There is no concept here that makes everyone happy except those who understand the science here (formally or informally). the notion that something is exactly 85F, or something exactly 1 foot long, or that halfway to a wall eventually leads to a wall (head in palm), then you're going to get frustrated with any type of heater. (and only subjective "feelings" will rule.) You can have 12 eggs, but you will never have 1 pound of eggs (about a pound yes, but not exactly a pound). Wondering what setting the heater at 80F means? 80F where? Think about it. The manufacturer's scientists can't answer that question exactly, and 99% of the marketers certainly can't give a better answer, but in turn, they can cheer you up with their product specifications and beautifully designed literature. You "given out" a lot of information about the product - please. Again, accuracy/time accuracy is relative, and close enough is good enough (99% vs. 99.9%). As with temperature, one could add a microcontroller to get a really accurate time (remember, nothing is equal to X days, hours, or milliseconds), but that costly higher accuracy would mean that for us normal folks in the real world world nothing is simply possible. some consumers "feel" better. I'm happy with my device as in my case I wanted quieter, more diffused warmth when cycling (fewer temperature drops) but I'm also subjective - and probably spending half as much for little benefit. . A heater that produces 1500W at 50% duty cycle versus 750W at 100% duty cycle is no different (you only have peaks that can affect your comfort). You may or may not need bike spikes. As for the total amount of heat generated by each of them, if you think there are significant differences, please feel right, Mr. Einstein and many others, and they will prepare the universe for some difficult times. Here I just wanted to contradict some house tiger scientists. use subjective pseudoscience in their assessments. I enjoy reading. I learn a lot from them. Noise Level As of this writing, my $30 1500 watt ceramic heater with internal fan is keeping me as hot in my 20 x 20 foot bedroom as a 1500 watt oil heater for twice the price, but the ceramic heater makes the same production and heat more noise transfer. I think that's perhaps the biggest difference that can affect a buyer. Relatively high noise level versus relatively low noise level. That's probably the deciding factor for many - silence is good, white noise is good - ultimately you decide.
