Review on UK-15 Infrared Patio Heater - Wall, Ceiling, or Optional Stand Mount, Remote Control, Electric, 1500-Watt, Bronze Color, Energy Efficient by Veronica Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality aluminum construction

However, reviews of other products of this type seemed even worse. The mounts come in two pieces, so they're a bit more difficult to install than a single mount, but they're fairly heavy, made from stamped metal, with a wide range of adjustment and a solid attachment to the device through a slot on the inside of the spines. The device is quite light, so I had no problems mounting the holder. I wanted to mount it on the wall above my desk and the switchable plug that also turns on the shop light is on the ceiling so the remote control was a big plus as I didn't have to climb a ladder and plug in or unplug the plug wanted the device every time. times I used it. Turning off the power by flipping the switch will turn the lights and heating off by default, which was also a big plus, especially in the summer. Set up at a 45 degree angle about 4 feet from the bench, the unit gives off a warm feeling very quickly, which is important as I may only need to get things done for 30 minutes or less at a time on those same days, so that the garage is full heating is useless. In a three-story insulated garage, with an outside temperature of 50 degrees, it heated the area around the bench seat by about 3 degrees per hour. The unit arrived as expected, but the batteries that came in the remote were already leaking acid, so I assume the unit has been in storage for a while. The remote control was not damaged as it is made of plastic. I suspect a lot of people are disappointed with this type of heater because they expect too much, but for my purposes it worked great and looked pretty good. The lamp life is listed as 12,000 hours so it should last a long time based on my use.

Pros
  • Decent performance
