Super hot heater, By Joshua L. Holmes -
This review is from: iheater IH-1500B Quartz Infrared Portable Heater
This works great in my apartment. I live on the bottom of the building so the floor is often cold. This heater keeps the floor warm and I don't even have to use the furnace. It works best in the larger area of the room. I highly recommend this to anyone.
Warmed us up surprisingly well!, By Merlinskiss "Merlin" (USA) This review is from: iheater IH-1500B Quartz Infrared Portable Heater
We bought an iHeater 1500 after using a standard infrared tower heater so, we had some idea of how to use it. It doesn't work miracles but it will warm a room when used in conjunction with a regular heater, propane in our case. Here is the difference it makes and what it does. First, our room is only 500 square feet but has a sloping ceiling 12'at the highest point and 8' at the lowest making air circulation important so, we bought the larger capacity heater intentionally. This heater comes on and with the fan running, it slowly starts heating the room. It takes a while to feel the effect and unlike the propane heater that just heats the air, the iHeater actually heats the floor, walls, furniture and bed with the infrared heat. We notice the biggest difference in the room that has only propane heat. Chairs and fixtures are colder to the touch and the air temperature gradient can be anywhere from 2 to 5 degrees cooler. It works as advertised and we notice the biggest difference at night because the bed is definitely warmer from the infrared heat.
The heater cycles on and off as it should and we are using significantly less propane. I won't say 50% less because we need to see how it does during the colder months to really evaluate it's performance cost wise. Regardless though, we are more comfortable in the room with the iHeater than in the rooms without it, just as we expected.
I think the biggest mistake people make with these types of heaters is that that have an expectation it will instantly warm a room and will replace your other heat source. It doesn't work that way. Used in conjunction with and to supplement your normal heat source though, it does what it needs to do. The other thing you need to realize with any infrared heater is that you need to leave it on so that it cycles and continuously heats the floor, furniture, walls, etc.
I would definitely buy another one of these heaters and we are finding the PTC element to be preferable to bulb heat. I would also recommend this heater but caution that you need to understand how it works and how to use it to get the best results. Bottom line, we like it, it works and does what it is supposed to do.
Great little unit, By R. Wink -
This review is from: iheater IH-1500B Quartz Infrared Portable Heater
What a great little unit. I wasn't expecting much to honest just something to help a little with the cold WI winters and the high heating bills. I have the 1500 model hoping to keep the living room warm on my 1600 sq. ft home. I was amazed how it did this and more. I have 3 bedrooms upstairs and as long as I kept the doors open it did a nice job of even warming them from downstairs. If people think you just turn it on and instant heat your living in a dream world. It takes time, not overly long either but it does take a bit. Very very quiet. Just bought another smaller unit for my daughter that she also just loves.
lowered gas bill, By k seb (indiana)
This review is from: iheater IH-1500B Quartz Infrared Portable Heater
My parents have a friend that sells Iheaters, so they got two of them. While they were out of the country I borrowed them. We have a tri-level home with gas water heat. We are currently on the budget plan paying 180.00/month and it is going up to 190/month. We just got a gas bill and an electric bill right before we set the heaters up. Our electric was 109.00 and our gas bill had we not been on the budget would have been 523.00 We put one heater in the kitchen because it is always cold, the thermostat for the heater is upstairs and set at 68 degrees, this kitchen is 64 degrees. We also set the other heater in the basement were we have a family area set up, this is 4 steps down from the family room that is also used alot. We did also have to get a couple of oil filled radiators for two of the bedrooms that are over the garage and are always very cold. We were finally warm in the bedrooms and kitchen. Needing to use a heater in the basement since the heater wasn't calling for heat.
We got the next months bills. Out electric did go up to 185.00 but I was leaving the iheaters on all night later discovering the built in timers. I them started tuning them on at night and setting them to come on in the morning. I work from home so I kept the one on in the basement all day. We started turning the oil filled radiators off in the morning too. Our gas bill, well..... if we had not been on the budget our bill would have been 221.00 A net savings of 215.00!!
We did have to give my parents the heaters back when they got back ( they have noticed a 100.00 reduction in their electric bill since being back)
