- We test & go over the pros & cons of these 3 heaters. I made another video where I test the EdenPURE, Dyson and a $30 Amazon space heater. Here is the link • Space heater test, Dys...
I want to hang out anyone who is all about truth, but this guy takes it! His outfit, the wallpaper, his special room, this cat is style incarnate. I am following his word to the letter this winter season. This guy, his scope, his tenacity to find the info, run tests, set it up on CZcams---sketchy CEO's worst nightmare. You rock, Paul!
this guy is so inspiringly sincere and exacting and deeply investigative!!!
What a refreshing review - you should continue doing this my friend! Thank you for this
Thank you I'm glad my hard work is appreciated
Great video! Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into that, it was very helpful with helping me find my next heater for a drafty living room.
This guy sounds very thorough. He's really done his homework on these products
Thank you for this video. Very impressive and thorough. Excellent presentation and information. You really did a lot of work for this video. Definitely helped me decide on my next heater.
Thank you for your excellent review presentation, Paul! Very thorough! Well done!
Best video out there will real results. Thank you for all the work you did.
Wow this is the most efficient review I’ve ever seen
Thank you, well done. This is the information I was searching for. Now to make my decision.
What heater did you get at the end? Thanks
So professional!! Loved this video 😁
Excellent analysis.
‘Appreciate your time & effort. Thanks.
On yeah - that “cheap wood” is, usually, known as particle board.
I have tried six different kinds of infra red heaters and I will say the Heat4less/Home Comfort knocks all the others out of the park. They are the only ones that actually heart what they say it will heat.
Excellent work! Thank you...
I like this guy and his wallpaper. Thanks for the review sir.
Great reviews! I have the Duraflame and and after about 6 years the heat is getting weaker so I think perhaps new bulbs. It's been great however for $130.00 Canadian ... Cheers
I love your systematic and scientific approach to this review. For tech items like this engineers should be doingvthe reviews.
Thank you I appreciate the positive comment
@@Paul-ol8cb
This is very well done. I learned a lot. Thanks!
your welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed the information in this video
Thank you on for this video it really helped me. I bought my dura flame 6 months ago and it just stopped blowing heat it still turns on but no heat I contacted duraflame they said I had to contact their third party seller twinstar home and I was just blown away how they just dismissed me for the amount of money I spent on this heater 🤦🏻♀️
This is a very nice video and I'm surprised it doesn't have more views and comments. Well done!
thank you very much, I appreciate that
Paul what a great video review on these heaters so I definately subscribed to your channel. Bought a Dr Heater 968 with the humidifier so the wife wouldn’t be so cold and finally we have a wonderful heater that she had to turn down. Wasn’t looking to use the humidifier on it but the model that didn’t have it was a few inches smaller so I thought the smaller one would heat up our living room like she wanted so bought the 968 which is 16 inches I believe tall. I thought it was an infrared heater. We live in Wa State so on those cold rainy nights we wanted a heater that would dry the air instead of make it humid. Thank you for your great video Paul. I saw someone said you have a kitty but didn’t notice one so I’ll have to check out some more of your videos to see if I can see your kitty since I love kitties. Mine sleep snuggled up to me every night. My favorite time of day.
i have the lifesmart one. its a cute little fellow. works like a dream.
I want to vouch for the Duraflame's build quality. For these "cabinet style" heaters they're more on the expensive side, but you can sometimes find generic (no brand logo) versions for about half the price, which is what I own. I've taken it apart before and internally, it is indeed identical to the Duraflame shown here. I've had it since 2014 and it still works very well.
Amazing review keep going brother.
Hey everyone
I have the Duraflame infrared heater. I bought it back in 2013 and honestly I've had no trouble with it.
I keep the dust filter clean and that's it! It has a remote control that is handy - just remember to change the AAA batteries now and then .
It actually looks like nice piece of furniture 👍
It has my chihuahuas approval 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Worth every penny 😉
good review. I got the Dr. Infrared about a week ago and it's been fantastic. And they added a humidifier in the new model.
I appreciate the positive comment, I saw they added a few new models for the Dr heater. I actually show the one with a humidifier and oscillating feature in the video.
I also have the Dr. Heater. Problem was after about a month the oscillation fan started getting really noisy. I have the humidifier on it also. Taking it apart to find out the problem is a nightmare. I never did get to the oscillator, but when I put it all back together just having it upside down whatever was making the noise fell out, but it does not osciiiate anymore. I really liked that feature to but it still puts out heat and that is the good thing.
Thank you for doing this video
Thanks so much bro best video on here u pen port everything perfect 👍🙏
Welcome 👍
Thanks! Very helpful!
Great review
Best review, very detailed and thorough. Thank you
your welcome & thx for the positive comment
I had a 20 amp dedicated outlet installed in my living room, and another one in my bedroom. I plug my space heaters into those outlets only.
Paul, thanks for doing the research on these for us. I'd like to ask you to please clarify this point for me. In your comparison of the two Duraflame heaters, you say the one on your right cost $58, while the one on the left cost $170, but that the parts on the inside that produce the heat are exactly the same. Then, I understood you to say that the low price of the one on the right makes you question the QUALITY of it. If the internal parts, the part that produces the heat, are exactly the same, why do you question the quality of it? Could one also conclude that the one on your left is badly overpriced? Please clarify this point. Thank you again for providing this research for you us.
Very will presented
This is the best review I've seen Thank you. Wondering why you don't have links to these items so we know which models you're comparing?
Thank you sir! 👍🏾
Damn good video
A standard outlet is 15 amp. It is VERY unusual in typical construction to have a 20 amp outlet - which requires larger wire, 12-2 instead of 14-2, and a larger 20 amp breaker in the electrical panel. THUS ANY HEATER plugged into a standard outlet is limited to 15 amp. Standard voltage is 110 volts, so 15 x 110 = 1650 watts. They always leave a slight safety margin so at 110 volts limiting the amperage to about 13.6 amps - which can be safely used in most 15 amp circuits without tripping older and slightly tired 15 amp breakers. Now if you REALLY want to warm a space in most temperate climates use a de-humidifier. The heat released by the motor PLUS the heat of evaporation released by the condensing water is GREATER than 1500 watts AND when you remove the water from the air a LOWER temperature feels warmer. In the fall and spring, a couple of 15 amp de-humidifiers in the basement of a typical residence coupled with turning on the fan only of the furnace can effectively SHORTEN the need to have the furnace on by 2 to 3 months saving many $$$ in fuel costs. Plus THEY WILL NEVER CATCH FIRE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.
Yes my dr heater came in first lolz I love my purchase.
i have the life smart steel heaters they are good
These look like furniture pieces. I think they should be mostly metallic. If a PTC heater doesn't need a filter, who cares if the filter is "cheap?" Thanks for your presentation!
Thanks dude!
Happy to help!
Which one would you recommend for keeping tropical trees warm in a small greenhouse? Great review 👍
I honestly can say because I really don't know that much about tropical trees or greenhouses. Thanks for the positive comment
What was the name of the $58 one made by duraflame bt generic?
Great presentation. Thank u
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. I'm going to go see if you do more videos like this to subscribe to. Thumbs up for sure.
so what is the model of the oem dura flame? you should have just told us
What model number is the #1 heater?
What was the brand name of the heater you compared with the Duraflame that sold for only $58?
It's called the powerheat, the price has gone up since I made this video but here is the link. www.walmart.com/ip/Powerheat-Infrared-Quartz-Heater-with-Safer-Plug-Black/135716678
What is the off-brand for the duraflame? Thanks for the video it is great.
Did you figure it out
did I just get a sermon on infrared heaters?
Really great review!! Are you a engineer?
no I'm not an engineer but thank you for the compliment, it's nice to know that my hard work is appreciated
Could any of these heaters be used as the only source of heat in the house? 1200 Sq feet?
I've been using Infrared heat for about 12 years and they are good for heating a single room. I have a 400 square foot living room that requires 2 heaters but my heaters are only 4 element heaters.
Code doesn't allow for a heater to use more than 1500 watts on 15 amp plug its a manufacturing regulation
Well done but would have liked to know the name of $58 heater.
I believe it was called the power heat but I'm not sure, the link for it should be in the comments.
I sure would like to find the generic Duraflame. What is it called?
there should be a link for it in the comments below. It was called the powerheat
The results of all three are so close that the winner should be determined by the cost to purchase and the cost to operate.
P.S. If it moves air, it needs a filter. Has noting to do with the type of heater it is.
99.9% of PTC heaters are made without air filters. You can check them at any Home Depot, Lowe's or Walmart. I'm confident the manufacturers have a good reason for making them like that. All of these heaters use the same amount of electricity.
@@Paul-ol8cb Costs extra to put a filter on the back. You have to pay extra if it comes with a filter.
I know that most heaters come without a filter. I'm just saying that they Should have one. The unit will stay cleaner inside (Which will make it last longer), and it will make the air in your house cleaner at the same time.
Yes, 1500 watts is 1500 watts. One 1200 watt heater uses the same amount of electricity as another 1200 watt heater. The difference comes in its efficiency in heating an area. The one that stores heat and moves air the best will use less electricity, because it will cycle off more often.
@@chezlerq4478 you make a really good point.
What is better, eden pure or dr. heater?
Personally I like the dr heater over the EdenPURE. The performance is the same and I didn't see anything the EdenPURe offers to justify the high cost.
Hi, thanks for a great, and really helpful video. Just one comment 2°F is not 20% of 10°F it's actually just over 0.43%
Thank you for the comment. I did the math on the calculator and I asked Alexa, they both say that 20% of 10 degrees is 2 degrees
@@Paul-ol8cb What if the temp is 0⁰ and rises to 10⁰? What percentage increase is that?
@@DuffyHomoHabilis I'm pretty sure you can figure that out on your own.
What about EdenPure?
I'm not 100% on this but I believe that LifeSmart is a division of Eden Pure (or a knock-off), their heaters look the same.
I own an Eden Pure IR heater (1500W 8 element, steel cabinet) for 2+ years now & am happy with it.
It's a lil' pricey to operate but it'll keep you warm.
I have seen 4 of those dr heaters. 3 failed quickly. 4th one would not kick the infrared element on so it malfunctioned within a few days. conclusion: they are junk I am a 4th gen electrician and electronics repair expert btw, lol
Who makes the $58.00 heater that is the same as the Duraflame?
its called the powerheat, here is the link www.walmart.com/ip/Powerheat-Electric-Quartz-Infrared-Heater-with-Safer-Plug-Dark-Cherry/376616290?athbdg=L1400
How did the world's largest laptop do in the heating category?
Lol! It is biggest I've seen
I hate pressed wood which is basically glued cardboard.
Could you please tell me the name of the one for $59.00 .. thank you ...
At walmart is was called the Powerheat
Paul thanks I will have to look it up !!
@@5denniskyour welcome, Im always happy to help,
Paul are you sure it was power heat ? I’m having trouble locating it .. thanks ..
Found one that says Twinstar powerheat 1500 from eBay , could that possibly be the one?
EndenPure?????
I use the EdenPURE and the Dyson in another video. They EdenPURE did not perform very well but here is the link. czcams.com/video/oC03VnqnPuU/video.html
All electric space heaters 1500/750 watts or 5200 btu on high except personal space heaters. The square footage is a scam. If it has a fan the better.
there is a lot more to it than that
@Paul-ol8cb explain why? There is a video on technology connection and he goes over why they are all the same.
Where.is.eden pure heater
On average the EdenPURE infrared heater cost 300% more than these heaters because of this I feel it belongs in another category. However I am considering doing another video with the EdenPURE to see what the extra money gets you.
@@Paul-ol8cb let's match the heat and the performance with the other ones and let's see real Amish heaters too. Let's be fare. And stop making excuses why you didn't put the best in there.
@@davidinchcliff4560 the real Amish heaters are a joke. It is the same exact cheap Chinese heater that the Amish have decided to put a wooden frame around it that they make. Nothing wrong with the craftsmanship of the wooden frame but it does nothing to improve the heater other than cosmetics. Besides what on Earth do Amish know about electric heaters when their own religion condemns them to a time period before 1840 when electric heaters did not exist?? They're not even allowed to have a zipper, it's too high tech for crying out loud.
@@randyab9go188 that is not always the case
@@randyab9go188 I have 3 or 4 different brands. They are not created equal.
Do NOT talk about infrared heaters. Because those boxes are just heat fans.
lifesmart is dangerous youre asking for a fire
