Review on πŸ”₯ Efficient 110V Mini Air Heating PTC Thermistor Heater with Fan - Constant Temperature Insulation (12V/250W) by Tom Reid

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Stopped working after a few minutes

I was going to use it as a permanent heater for a special proofer that currently uses ceramic heater bulbs but once installed and running for the first 20 minutes on set 95F the following happened: 1. Fan 2 stopped working. Heating continued and the plastic case heated up, it felt very hot3. The smell of plastic is stinky. Removed from fermenter box, let cool and tested again on a desktop, fan and heater working again, installed a second time and worked another 10 minutes, same 3 things above happened again. In any case, I might be able to get it working by separating the fan with metal spacers, but the smell is unacceptable for the food industry, I'm just worried that the smell might add a different flavor to the food.

Pros
  • Heating, Cooling & Air Quality
Cons
  • Only available in black
