Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ RoadPro RPSL-581 Season Heater Swivel by Ashutosh Takumatla

Revainrating 4 out of 5

moderate expectations bring decent satisfaction

I never thought this thing would actually heat up my farm tractor cab, I was just hoping it would keep the rear window from freezing over when I snowed rooms. And it is. My snowblower is rear mounted, so I look back and breathe at the rear window, which doesn't have a de-icer. Of course, this is a recipe for misting and icing glasses. As long as the fan outlet is close enough to the glass, it will keep the window clean. The fan performs decently when the heating element is not on, but airflow decreases significantly when switching to "heating mode". This is undoubtedly because the power cord is smaller. Regardless of what the description says, this is NOT wire #10, just wire #16. Number 16 is written on the wire. The cable capacity for fan and heater is not enough, so the fan will slow down. The wire will heat up a little, but not enough to melt the insulation. directly to the battery or to the existing switch on the tractor. If I expected this thing to do what it says on the tin I couldn't give it more than 1 star, but knowing that it's impossible to shell out the amount of heat required to heat the interior of a car, without melting the plastic exhaust grille. I had low expectations. If he has enough time, maybe he can slowly melt the frost off the windshield. I use it as a preventive measure and it does what I need. But I think I'll change the power cord to #10 and that should increase its capabilities to some extent.

Pros
  • Rated power 180W and current draw 15A
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
