Review on 🔥 Introducing the Dr Infrared Heater DR-PS11524 Salamander: Ergonomic Yellow Heating Powerhouse by Larry Sabey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Manicured warmth in a house of 3200 square meters. ft.

I was hesitant to buy it because it didn't have many reviews when I got it but it worked great. In February, we heated a 3,200 square foot building in northern Idaho. Feet so we could plaster and caulk the drywall and it held a temperature of about 60 degrees while it was about halfway up. No temperature setting. Just a low to high scale so I don't know what temperature it should have been set to but it stayed there at around 60. We had insulated walls but no ceiling and it still stayed warm. If you're heating an uninsulated space, this probably won't work. I plugged it straight into the board and until we insulated it and attached it with drywall you couldn't tell it was on other than the fan running. By the way, the fan is always running, but the heat doesn't always come out, so if you stand in front of it, you can already feel the air blowing. And it doesn't generate heat like a kerosene heater or convection oven. It blows out heat that feels warm at best, not hot. But if it's running long enough in your building to keep the room warm, it will stay warm. The only downside to this heater is the cost of running it. The electricity bill for a month of running this heater was $400 more than the previous month. But we were heating a large room, and it was only a temporary heat source that could safely be used without ventilation. I would buy again, but only for temporary building heating. Not as a permanent primary heat source.
