- The Dr Heater Infrared Heater 968 Review, These are great Heaters. I bought these Units from Amazon now I have two. The Dr. Heaters work, I would use with a Surge Protector for added protection; it has safety features if tip-over. They blow some hot air, But the wood is not hot to the touch just mildly warm, But the front heat port gets hot. These also make gifts, in my opinion.

Thank you for the fantastic review I ordered this for my living room
Love our Dr. Heater with humidifier, heats our Living Room and Kitchen.....Highly recommend this little Power House!!!
Thanks for sharing!
I have owned this heater for maybe a month and a half and am very satisfied. Mine has the auto setting (not eco) . Heat coming out is very hot. I heat my bedroom and bathroom with it's heater with the rooms closed from the rest of the house. Saving me money on propane that's for sure.
Glad to hear that.
I’m looking for a heater for our den (which is about 600 ft with high vaulted ceilings) & sunroom (about 400 ft.) We have central heating in our other rooms but these two have no CHA vents with many windows & skylights. Based on your review I think this heater will do the job & am planning to purchase it. Thank you very much & have an excellent New Year!
Thank you for the review. What does the Standby button do for you? Thank you.
Glad to help. The standby just shuts it off nothing special.
I just got one... After reading mixed reviews I took a chance. The only drawback is that it only has 2 wattage settings where as I would prefer 900/1200/1500 instead of 1000/1500. If you have any problems with yours can you do a follow-up.
I agree with your power settings. I still have my units they are a little abused from moving an such But I was going to do a follow up on the heaters.
I just got one a Month ago and I’m really impressed. It seems like it’s running a lot and I know the heat isn’t on but just the blower most often. I’m curious how much power it’s using. Do you find it to be power saving?
Both of Mine have sadly died, and I am switching to the Sun Heat brand, but they are pricey.
I have 2 of them that run at 80F 24/7 .. so far they have ran non stop for the last 8 Months.
For about $100 US shipped i bought a 3ed backup... as of now, it's still in the box.
So, Yes. Buy one or 3.OH ya.. forgot.. each one cau$s me 100 a month to run 24/7.
Wow, I'm glad to hear they have been working great for you. Sounds like your happy with your purchases.
what area do they heat? why do you need them 24/7? really curious, buying a cottage and need heat, looking for really good electric options as least for the year.
@@sgkukov2285 Well i would say it will depend on how well your place is insulated. with that said i have a 14x 70 Ft. Mobile home that is dry walled and at 20F outside i can keep the inside at about 75F with 2 running .
Then it's kind of useless, I was looking for something to use because we energies just raised our bill that's $126 for one month for one person in an apartment. Thanks to Biden and his gas prices
Update2022... both are still running no-stop. the 3ed has been opened as to test.
I was born in New Albany, Ind. 😃 Live in KS now. Anyhow is this the only heat source you have and do you have an upstairs or downstairs apt? And do you run it constantly? Was wanting something to heat house. Central heating unit not going to last much longer.
Cool, As far as the heater, I filmed that in an apartment 1 level no upstairs. I bought a house, and what we did in the apartment and the house is just supplemented heat from the furnace. Now I did have a furnace go out, and I had to rig up a natural gas blue flame heater for 2 winters; that sucked. I have videos on a propane blue flame and a natural gas blue flame heater, BUT if you do that, have someone install it; otherwise, Insurance may not cover in case of fire.
I am currently building a solar furnace for winter to put on my house, I will be making a video on it, but it will not be done for some time.
@@IndianaDiy by suuplemental heat you mean you used both at same time or you used maybe the furnace during day and this heater at night?
His I used both, I would run furnace at 66 and use heater to heat more a night.
Thanks
No problem
I bought this 988A fan "Brand New in box" from a guy that didn't understand the voltage requirements. I hired an electrician to wire me in a 240 outlet, the fan didn't turn on but the heater did, the electrician checked voltage it was good. I called for support and sent a picture of the new serial number, they first said oh the fan is only for cooling, i said no its not... they came back and said no receipt no help. So i pulled the fan and found the outside coil wire broke off so i repaired that and still no fan. I called again and they said okay well help you out and sell you a fan if you pay the shipping, well i'm in Canada and the shipping was around US$60 plus the fan would be about C$100 so i called again, they said they would give me a flat $25 fee if i gave my contact number. I thanked them and gave my number to contact me... no one ever called... i got frustrated and scrapped the product and told them... then they finally called me 7 days later and tried to sell me a fan for a scrapped heater. That's the story terrible service.
Wow! Sorry to hear that.
which one you prefer or like more this one or Delonghi HMP 1500 ? please compare both as i am planning to buy and kinda stuck between this and delonghi HMP. thanks
The Dr.heater would be my pick it puts out more heat and between the two heaters I think the dr heater is safer.
@@IndianaDiy thanks i will go for dr. Heater then.
Lifesmart or Optimus is the same manufacturer as this one in the video, they have 3 brands.
Does it indeed heat the objects in the room and not just blow hot air?
I always notice the room in general was warmer. I never really noticed objects getting hot or really warm.
👍
I just bought one of these and waiting for it to arrive .....was wondering how loud it is or how quiet it is depending on your half full /half empty point of view
Especially while watching tv....
It’s very quiet I never have to turn up the tv any louder if it’s in the room.
Can you set a timer for it to turn on as well as a timer to turn off?
Nope you can't to turn on, but I remember I believe it did have a turn off timer. We have 2 of them they fell apart after years of use. I'm buying new Sunheat model to replace them.
How many hours can you run this for continuously?
Thanks for the review!
That depends on you, But for me personally I have set it and ran it for days. But I just used them for supplemental heat.
@@IndianaDiy thanks!
Just wanted to make sure that if I accidentally leave it on all night it won't break on me
I run 2, all winter long day and night.
Just bought this, and it didn't heat up space. Isn't it suppose to take long?
Depends on the size of the space But it's not a true infrared heater like SunHeat or maybe a few others but it does help supplement.
Do you think one or two of these would heat up a 400 square foot garage?
I tried doing something similar really ran up my electric bill because my garage was too big and it couldn't hold the temp well. 800sqft
Oh and If you want a real infrared heater Look into SunHeat. They are expensive but Amish built as far as I know and you can get replacement parts.
Does the cord get warm overnight?
I never noticed the cord getting warm or anything hot like something you would be concerned about.
I'm in Indiana myself.
Cool a fellow Hoosier, Thanks for viewing the channel.
Does the plug get hot?
No, I never had that happen.
Make sure you plug in a socket alone, nothing else!
10 amps will it blow fuse??
No issues with 15 amp fuses.
Why does it need a blower if its Infrared?
Sadly, the Dr Heaters are not a True Infrared heater. Mine have both since stopped working, and I'm saving up for a SunHeat Infrared heater.
Electric bill?
I never saw a huge increase, I only used it to supplement my furnace.
Monitor your bill on line.
@@laurenrae7695 no shit really wise ass?! Wouldn't u rather know if it's a large increase before investing in the heater? I believe that's what questions and reviews are for. Besides, you're a little late to this discussion. It's been answered already.
This unit only heats one large room.
They are nice for heat , but very misleading in another video saying it will heat a 4 car garage, that is false. Also monitor your electric bill. All in all very warm in one large room. I keep ours at 68
Yes, you are right. I lied the unit but now for next winter I'm looking at buy a SunHeat heater.
Will it help your electric bill go down or will it make it go up more
@@IndianaDiy Why are you thinking of dropping Dr Infrared Heater for a Sunheat unit?
Replaceable parts but sadly more expensive.
So...1500 watts=1500 watts...you can't get more heat out of it then that...all little plug in space heaters are 1500 watts.
I prefer the SunHeat brand, Real Infrared heaters but the price.
I just got one for $100
Great deal, hope it works for you.
I have two , one did not do my house , 2 does.
Useful, thanks. But these seem to come with and without a humidifier. No comment on that? And why promote Amazon? Buy from your local hardware store, support local. Jeff Bezos doesn't need more of your money.
Well I actually don't like those units anymore I actually prefer the SunHeat brand. They are more expensive but worth it and replaceable parts too. And I agree with you about Amazon, It maybe convenient But I think people should shop around more for beat deals
