Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Doesn't require supervision
This space heater has a 24 hour of/off timer, which can be used to program the specific working schedule of this unit. For example, if you want to wake up in a warm bedroom, you can set the timer to enable the space heater 30 minutes before your alarm goes on.
Pro Quiet to operate
This space heater will not pollute your room with unwanted noises. In fact, it doesn’t even have components that can make loud noises (fans, inductive relays, etc.).
Pro Easy to use
After the space heater is plugged into a power outlet, simply set the thermostat and select a power mode, these are all the actions required to set up this heater.
Pro Good value for money
At a price point just a tiny bit above 50 dollars, this space heater has a variety of decent features. It comes in with a decent thermostat, programmable timer, and even a fully functional remote controller. This set of features is very uncommon for this price tag, and is usually found in heaters that cost more than $100.
Pro The heat is distributed evenly
This space heater has a oscillation amplitude of about 90 degrees, thus being placed in a corner it is capable of warming up the entire room evenly.
Pro Can be controlled remotely
This space heater comes with a remote control, which runs on two AAA batteries. It can control all the functions of the heater.
Pro It’s mobile
Due to the lightweight design (8.8 lbs) and compact form factor (8.5″ x 7.25″ x 23″) it's easy to move this space heater from room to room. It also has a comfortable handle behind the unit.
Pro The fan isn’t loud
While being powerful enough to push the air around in a 150 sq. ft. room, this space heater’s fan isn't overly loud. It produces about 55 dB of sound pressure, being nearly as noisy as a small electric kettle.
Pro Good for fast heating
This space heater uses a fan to deliver hot air throughout the room efficiently. This heat distribution method is, by far, more effective than regular convection (that is used by electric radiator panels) as fan-forced air moves faster than convection-forced air.
Cons
Con Long heat-up time
This space heater requires up to an hour to fully heat up. This, frankly, is a very common issue among the oil-filled electric radiators. The thing is that the oil, inside the heater, has a massive thermal capacity therefore requires a lot of time to heat up.
Con Thermostat’s settings are unclear
It is very complicated to set the thermostat exactly to the desired temperature as it is controlled by a rotating knob that has scale marks ranging from 1 to 6. The problem is that it is unclear what temperature each scale mark represents.
Con Hard to move around
Even though this space heater has casters, its considerable weight (24 pounds) severely reduces the mobility of this unit. It's very likely that you will not enjoy moving it from room to room. Additionally, it's expected that the heavy weight will affect shipping costs of this space heater.
Con It dries out the air
Since the ceramic heating element heats up to temperatures way above 200º F, this space heater is also a very aggressive air dehumidifier. While reasonable air dehumidification would be considered as an advantage, overly dehumidified air will cause discomfort for people with sensitive eyes, or those that wear contact lenses.
Con It beeps a lot
Every time you press a button, this space heater beeps. This can be rather irritating to the people around you, for example, when you need to adjust the heater’s settings while there are people in the room sleeping.
