Alpha Heater Scam and Reviews, Explained

- Alpha Heater scam is what users on Google are looking to find out as well as Nova Heater. They want to know if this heating product called Alpha Heater (or Nova Heater) is a scam and they're looking for reviews. Right off the top, let me tell you that this seems to be the same product that's been sold before under other names and they keep changing the name once the public realizes with all the bad reviews that the product doesn't do what's described.
So here’s what this Alpha Heater scam is. It’s a small plug-in device that provides heat. There are claims that it can heat a whole room in minutes. It might be able to help out a small room, but don’t expect impressive results. Always remember that if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
The Alpha Heater scam is nothing new, as I mentioned before. I checked Scamadviser’s channel and they said that this product has likely been known as Heater Pro X, Top Heat heater, Orbis heater, Elite Heat heater, Instaheat heater, and Alfa Flame heater. They also said that these products are known for coming from China, and that yes, they do get hot, but they won’t heat a room in minutes. And here’s the thing. The product works and gets hot if you put your hand near it, like I said. But I’m seeing high prices for the product from Indian websites, like $45, when you can basically get the same thing for far less money on Amazon and eBay if you just type in portable plug-in heater. If you want to get one and you have a tiny room, I mean go for it, but don’t get scammed and overpay. I myself have a Honeywell space heater that currently costs $55 from Target and heats up my whole office. Money well spent.
I recommend checking out Scamadviser’s video which provided a good demonstration and a test of what appeared to be the same product when it was called Top Heat heater. I’ll include that link in the pinned comment down below.
I hope my video helped. I’m spending my free time to make these videos like this one about the Alpha Heater scam to help people out. There are so many scams out there. Every day brings new scams, and you can only report on so many of them. But I figured I could do a little more on my own time on nights and weekends, and that’s exactly what I’m doing now. Scams can sometimes hurt people. Scams can take money from people. And not everyone has money to spare. So I hope I can help you on my channel.

The ad I saw for Alpha Heater today showed a young man they claimed to be a developer in Alaska. No, it’s Taylor Wilson, who lives in Reno and is famous for developing a nuclear reactor in his parents’ garage. They’re not even clever enough to insert a random person into their scam ads.
Nice info!
Wow, so sad.. thanks for the info
Is that who it is? Omg
I have seen multiple different creators of this. They are a piece of crap, didn't work from day 1
I just got an advertisement featuring a guy from Chicago, my home town. What a coincidence 😂. He developed rockets or some shit like that
The reason why it's a scam is because all resistance heaters (any heater that plugs into the wall and doesn't have any other fuel source) are essentially 100% efficient. A standard wall outlet in North America is rated for about 1500 Watts. Therefore any electric space heater rated for 1500 Watts will convert all of this electrical energy into heat. Different types of electrical heaters may distribute this heat differently, but the amount of heat energy in the room is the same no matter the heater. Only the wattage of the heater changes the amount of heat.
All electrical engineers would agree with evansuggs comments above because ALL electrical space or portable heaters are 100% efficient whether they cost $12 or $2,000. Yes this IS a SCAM because NOTHING can be more than 100% efficient. To say otherwise is to shamefully prey on people who are desperately trying to save on their heating costs.
This channel is criminally underrated.
Thank you for this! There is such a bombardment of ads like this. Appreciate your time!
Thank you for saving me the trouble - so helpful - your time to get the truth out is so appreciated - blessings to you
The ad I saw shows Elon Musk holding this heater with the ad claiming its so advanced and efficient its used in the Space X program and will heat two full rooms for pennies a day. It's claimed Elon designed and now sells this heater to the general public. Glad I found this channel. I'm subscribed.
What astounds me is youtube is perfectly happy to keep advertising scams. It's how I found out about this product.
Yep.
These are the scary-wholesome advertisers they need to protect with all the censorship. Oh that and marry Ukrainian women ads, lol. What a pathetic company.
If they did not the would get zero AD revenue.
They did everything possible to promote a scam injection, and suppress any negative reviews. I'm not surprised they allow it, I'm surprised they don't ban this guy for warning you.
Fair play, good advice and good willed project.
You Tube is still broadcasting the videos on their site. Adverts are still appearing prior to selected sites.
I am the victim that you speak.
The company involved tried to hard sell three when we only wanted one. The thing does work but only a small heat produced. I wish I had come across your output earlier.
I'm glad I came across this and your comment! We can't get our heater fixed until next week. We only have a small one rn to help and was looking for something to help heat a couple rooms for my grandbaby and I was Almost scammed by this place. With fancy warranties and stating that it can be placed on a flat surface But everything else says it's just a plug in. And it was 44$ each for a 3 bundle. I'm glad I didn't buy!
Saw the ad on Duolingo. Glad I found this video. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you so much for your review! So glad that I found your videos to learn more!
Definitely helped Thank-you 🙏👍
Got three of these as a Christmas. No company named no UL listed no product model. No writing on the encasement anywhere, no dates, no shipping or billing information label and return address is from Jane in New Jersey with no paperwork. Prongs are not safety prongs. Thin plastic garbage I'm afraid to plug it in. Even the paper inside has no dates or how to return. No filter to be seen anywhere.
Don't fall for the youtube ads for these heaters. I ordered 2 of these things and they are a fire hazzard. Both of mine would not stay plugged into the wall socket. They tip forward and partially expose the bare plug prongs in the wall. This was extremely shocking and painful to find out. This is a fire hazzard and a potential shock/electrocution hazzard. I got the ever loving life zapped out of me. These also get VERY hot. Do not plug them in where anything can get up against them. Good luck trying to get the remotes to work too. Neither of mine worked like they should have. I so wanted to like these heaters. I bought them to replace a couple of old small heaters I had in my bath rooms. Needless to say they will not be replacing anything in my house. The only good thing I can say about these is that when I contacted the company, they were very quick to do a refund, although they really pushed a hard upsell before doing it. Oh, and the company did not want them returned. THAT should tell you a lot.
Thanks for this information!
@@jordanliles I also tried to force the issue of getting a return address from them so I could send these heaters back and they hung up on me. They refused to send me an email with their return address...lol These people are selling dangerous junk and youtube is providing them a platform to do it. Shame on youtube for helping these companies/individuals defraud people who watch youtube videos. I don't believe I'll be purchasing anything from any of the advertisements interrupting the videos. And...if youtube keeps shortening the time between the ads, I'll seriously consider going elsewhere.
I was about to buy one of these. I won't bother now. Thanks for saving my money.

Really appreciate this. Thought it was too good to be true.

Thank you for this video.

Wish I would have watched your review before purchasing. Heater began making noise & fan speed reduced 3 mo. after purchasing. They will not replace it.
I'm pretty sure all of these are cheap products made outside of the U.S. Thanks for your comment.
I bought this alpha heater they suck I bought into the bs,
I have a 15 foot room approx. Will the honeywell heat the room for a cheap price? And which one would you recommend?
Depends on your electricity costs, found usually on your bill. Most of the space heaters consume 1200-1500watts which is not a small amount. They run electricity through coils and sometimes a fan to blow out air surrounding the heated coils. The best heaters have fans and you can find them at Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc.
There is no heat a room for cheap, unless it's a tiny room to small to crawl
Into.
The Honeywell I mentioned that's around $55 at Target will keep a room that big warm, as long as the room isn't very tall in height and as long as the room is insulated around doors. It's a handy little heater and I love it.
@@SpaceCadet4Jesus Actually have you tried using candles and stacking flower pots upside down? I heard that works to hear a room for cheap..
@@hardcore4476 I haven't tried it, I'd suggest the BTU's are way too low to even take the chill off a room of any size.
@@SpaceCadet4Jesus I’ve heard good things, but haven’t tried it myself. Thinking about trying it out.
How it heats, I cannot say... but the switch does NOT work and cannot be made to work and the seller will NOT replace the faulty switch that never lights up with a small bulb..
The seller doesn't even care about the product. They just want to make money. Really crappy.
Which honeywell model do you own?
HCE309B.
Thanks!
Wow, thanks!
I learned about this item through a youtube ad. Oh, the sweet Irony
Oh man. This is still going around?
I bought an antique" STANDARD " brand space heater at a yard sale about 20 years ago for 10 bucks from a really old guy who was selling off all his old stuff. It's all metal, has a bakelite dial, it's MADE IN CANADA, probably in the 1940s, and it still works great, probably as good or better than the cheap ass plastic piece of chinese garbage alpha heater.
If you buy this product and you paid just a dollar, you’ve been scammed. It doesn’t stay flush against the wall. Garbage product; garbage company. And this is a biased review.
A watt is a watt. Know the basics of electric heaters. No they can't heat a big room - they're meant to supply supplemental heat for cool rooms.
It has been rebranded as "toasty heater" this year
These heaters are not worth your money. They don't even heat a closet. Constantly shuts off. I wouldn't even give it away. So if you are interested in one all I can say is dont.
I was about to buy this product after seeing a CZcams promotion. Is the story about it being invented by a student a lie too? Thank you
Of course it is a lie. The tiny little heater and tiny "air conditioner" were not invented by the cute guy in the ads. YT should not run the ads if honesty was a priority.
Omg, you mean Oscar isn’t real and didn’t invent Mr. toasty to save his starving family from that frigid Scandinavian winter storm ?! /s 🤣🤣
I would like to clarify 2 things.
Firstly, Is `Martin` (have I got that right??) from Bristol England, Seattle Washington State or Fairbanks Alaska because you dont seem to be able to make up your minds.
Second question. Where is he going to be from next ?
This os a piece of crap. Didn't work from day 1. It would turn off within 10 seconds and had semi cool air coming put of it. ALSO, it wouldn't even stay plugged in the wall due to weight distribution. Nothing but run around, no customer service and never got my money back. DO NOT BUY!
CZcams will jump on people like me for music copyright but don't mind running scam adverts on everyone of my music mixes.
i bought one, sadly. it shows it glowing and it does not. it states it can heater a 700 sq ft room in 3 minutes. it didn't heat my 300 sq ft room. it puts out as much heat as a hair dryer on low. instructions in obviously written by Chinese that is poor spelling or don't make sense. DO NOT BUY. i was scammed at $65
GBU TY
