Thank you so much for the thorough review! I bought 2 of the lifesmart space heaters for supplement heat !
I use the same heater for my trailer I live in and it works great I’m veary happy with it 😊

*1. Front of heater facing away from you, you'll remove 5 silver screws from the back (3 on left side & 2 on inner top)*
*2. Then you'll have to slide off the top cover by pulling it inward towards you. (Back of heater facing you)*
*3. Once that's off, you'll unscrew 2 black screws on the left (now visible once top cover was removed)*
*4. Flip unit on side with the left side facing ceiling, this time you will slide the side cover off by pushing it away from you. (rear of heater still facing you)*
*5. There should be two wires with rubber casings at the head (more than likely braided red & dusty pink) & a dial like thing sticking out in between it.*
*6. Poke it, it doesn't click or make any noise. (Feel free to press it several times if you are unsure)*
*7. Reassemble the heater. (Fit on the left side casing) then prop it upright, 2 black screws from under the top, fit on top cover, 2 silver screws at the backs inner side, and then 3 of the left screws. Once you've finished these steps, stand up, do some stretches & last but not least plug in the unit & see if it's FIXED.*
These heaters are awesome. I have a 10 year old electric fireplace. The heat makes your eyes feel like they are on fire and the humidifier on full blast doesn't help. That's not the case with these types of heaters.
Someone commented that their fan was squealing. If that happens, try cleaning the filter. My manual says to do it every 3 months. I think once a month would be better, especially if you have pets.
Can you provide me with your heater name ?
thanks a lot..much needed. am freezing in my apartment and was so scared to turn on this heater. I appreciate you.
Glad I could help
@@steiger256 same here. Our heat not working and a friend gave us this w/ no instructions. Your review was very helpful ty
I have a 26 foot and no slide using my second lasko ele heater with artificial flames. High or Low. I use my heat like you. From MD to NM and AZ over 5 to 7 years with NPS (national parks )before ordered second one. My only issue is using on H which I really dont have to even below freezing, kicks my electric off. On receptical with protection but turn off and back on my converter. Aware of what else running. Thanks for your video. I may pic up and try this. Thanks so much. 👍
I've had this unit a bit over 30 days. I've had other smaller heaters that put out more heat. I'm taking it back to Home Depot today.
Sorry to hear it hasn't worked for you. So far mine has worked well for what we have used it for.
comments never fail to deliver, it's great, it sucks, it's great, it sucks lol

I m using a Pellonis 1500 watt heater that’s half the size. 1500 watts is 1500 watts no matter how you package it
I purchased 2 of these heaters to use in our RV. They worked great at first. One of them went out within about 6 months, the other lasted under a year.

Well the heater turn back on when the Electric turns back on?
Just bought the exact model... looking forward in using it. I've got a great deal... couldn't pass it up and got a 40. gift card too. :D
I got mine mostly for the camper, But I have been using it in the garage and basement. I have been really impressed so far. It has been working great.
Is it loud ?
Been using it about a year though I think I got mine at Home Depot. Only thing I don't like is that it doesn't remember the previous temp, always starts at the default 72 F. Plenty of heat for me in the garage when I'm out there escaping (IYKYK). 😉
Can you turn the beep off?
Mine is not working anymore. Do you know any videos that show how to fix it?

I have the same heater and somehow the buttons fell back inside the heater on the right side. I think I need to take it apart but I don't know to what extent.
Just ordered one of these. Different brand and only 4 elements but the case in the same as the one tested. I have an 7 or 8 year Source Green Heat with 6 elements. It's the kind in a wood cabinet with wheels. It's great. But can produce more heat than I need. I've never run that unit on high. So I figure this 4 element version should be large enough to add heat my Living Room as it's smaller than the bedroom where I use the other one. I love infrared quartz heaters. It's only kind I will consider buying.
How loud is it ?
@@rootsdat It's very quiet even on high. You can hear the fan but it just sort of background noise.
My filter got dirty- couldnt see was clogged till I looked closely- caused it to overheat and code.. vacuumed filter to clean

I just bought this unit different brand but the cord is only a awg 16 so how can it handle 1500 watts?Usually the cord should be awg 12. Also only has 4 heating tubes.
I have a old ceramic heater I purchased in the late 80s which I think is basically the same specs and its only 6in. x 6in cube which is also used as supplement heat in a 28 foot camper. It seems to keep it warm except its fan is quite noisy ...so I guess I'm wondering if mine will do the same job at half the size.
It would probably do fine. You would have to look up how many BTU it puts out. This one is around 5k at 1500 watt. 1700 at 1000 watt. 1000 watt heated camper no problem.
Mine shut down. I didn't clean filter. Lights still on in back switch but how do I reset
Reset buttons under right side case, reset buttons underneath/backside sensors, take them out, push buttons and put back in.

Why my quartz heater keeps going to e1
this heater has fan issues and did not even last one winter before giving me problems the fan is now jammed and just headache.
Got one good one had the display went on one the power is going to the unit it’s junk other one is working great still and has over double the hours they put out great heat very quite I’ve had lasco still have one they are different ceramic they are good not made to put out heat like life smart. Maybe I got a bad one if other goes I’ll rate them 2 3 year junk heaters in that put out the heat
Dude mine doesn’t have the on button on rear side. Do you think it’s a counterfeit one? Please let me know. I’m curious about it more curious cause all of them are Chinese lol. So long
I have this same heater and today the LED seems to have gone out. The light comes on when I flip the power switch, but it doesn't "beep" and none of the buttons seem to work, not even when I use the remote. No idea what happened or what to do 😕
Sounds like a circut board problem. I would try to return it for another if you could. I looked at mine and I cant find any fuses or anything like that.
I had the same thing happened last night

Just bought one 2 days ago. Supposed to go down to minus eight to minus 13 tonight. Not like 42 where he is. Not this bullshit "feels like". Actually. Tonight will tell.
I have a 12x12 tent. Do you think it would do a good job of heating that when my wood burners goes out in the middle of the night?
I think it would depend on how cold it was outside. If it was really cold like 20 Fahrenheit then it may keep you warm, But not hot.
Can you use the TIMER to set the heater to TURN ON?
I dont think so. I am pretty sure it is only a time to run a set amount of hours.
@@steiger256 ok thx
how does it heat up the garage
I only used mine in the garage to help with the LP heater on really cold days. I dont think it would help a lot unless the garage was pretty small. It may warm it up, But I dont think it would be super warm on really cold days. Camper, small rooms it works really good.
How can I shut off the eco mode
You should be able to press the mode button. It goes from eco, high, low. Mine has one, unless they changed it
I got one but everytime I turn it off (not unplugged) and it loses all the settings (show temp in C degrees, set to eco mode). Its annoying, its going back.
That would be annoying. I think if I turn mine off it may turn on set to high and 72F.
About how loud is it
It is not very loud at all. The only sound you hear is the fan run. I used it in the camper when we slept and it was not loud at all.
@@steiger256 thanks alot.
Is there. Feature where it can just run all night ? I don’t want it to keep going on and off
I don't think it runs consistently. I Believe it will turn on and off as needed.
I just got mine and the fan kind of whines, sounds like it slows a bit then speeds up every now and then. Whaddya think? Thanks.
I am not sure what to think. I may have to look at a newer one and check these back out. Mine is still running strong with no issues. I have had some comments on issues with these heaters now. It may be fan speed slowing down when heat tubes turn on and fan speeds up if a few turn off due to the thermostat. Only thing i can think of.
They have a taller one with only 3 elements (@ Lowes), but it has a 'rapid heat' feature. Anyway, I need another, so I'll compare it to this. Thanks for putting the review up, it helps.
I bought this one at a local thrift ship for $18 & no remote. Fully tested it so I got it. When you shut off is it suppose to cool down ? Before it shuts off completely
The instruction manual says its normal for the fan to stay on for a little while after you turn the heater off
@@misslayer999 Thanks Beth!
@@washedout8055 *Yes, totally normal. Prevents fires.* 🔥🚒
You should review some wireless lavalier microphones
I may do that. They work really well. Thanks for the idea
What's going on with the heater when it doesn't blow out anything when the lights come on it just shut off and is not coming back on by itself.
I am not sure. I have not run into any problems with mine. You may want to try to turn up the thermostat to see if that works. It may be set to low.
*Did it ever come back on Sabrina?*
I have this heater & when I plug it in, it won’t turn on. Have you had any problems with this in the past?
I have not had any issues like that. So far so good. Just dont overlook the main power switch on the back.
What if the main power switch is on and lit but heater still not turn on?

Can I put a heater in the carpet
I have set mine on a carpeted floor many of times with no problems at all. I would have to check operating book to see if it was recomended, But the bottom does not get hot.
I got the same one. It’s a really good heater but ever since I bought it new from my bathroom because my restroom is always freezing but it’ll run 6 hours outta the 12hours that were up but some times it gets really hot I’ll shot it off then to turn it back on the switch in the back is gettin power but the screen is just black leave it unplugged for a week then she’ll work again , works great when it’s workin. Does anyone have this problem or has had this problem!?!? Please lemme know what I have to replace

Good video! I have a question can I set the timer without the remote?
Yes. The timer can be set on the unit itself as well
The link you provide to Amazon takes you a to heater that has in its title 6 elements, but when you read the fine print in the Product Description it says 4 elements: "This large room infrared quartz heater contains FOUR infrared quartz elements..." [emphasis added].
I will check that out and fix it. Thank you
@@steiger256 You're very welcome; you did a great review of it whether yours has 6 or 4 elements!

I will have to look at mine. There may be a fuse that had blown.
