    • Strong little heater
Style: Portable
Good little heater, small footprint, and heats well. Its used at the job and doesn't trip the circuit breaker. Very satisfied with its performance.

    • True Description of Product - Satisfied Customer
Style: Portable
I am very pleased with this purchase . The unit is sturdy and of good quality. The retro design also goes well with my decor. I had previously ordered two other "label" brands that cost well over $300 dollars that didn't add up to the hype. This unit survived the test on some of the coldesn't days in NC with a steady flow of heat. I purchased it to supplement the heating source in the family room which has a large open space with french doors. I run the heater on eco setting btw the range of 68 and 70. It actually heats the area fast and the heating system will not come on due to the temperature rising throughout the home. I usually will let the heater run 2-4 hour intervals. It also has a timer that can be set w/ a standby mode. I would actually purchase another one. This unit is a good value for the money. ... show more

    • INCREDIBLE MACHINE THAT DOES NOT DRY OR STALE THE AIR
Style: Portable
Incredible machine, heats up the room very quickly without drying the air or making it stale like electric heaters do. Super easy set-up and operation, and I love the little remote control that comes with it. Great job Dr. Infrared!

    • It works as advertised. Small footprint

It was helpful to get this as next day shipping while furnace was down. Sale Price was reasonable. I prefer it’s small footprint and look to the wood look cabinet designed one. It adequately heats my general living area and the fan is reasonably quiet at about 46 decibels up close and 35 decibels 9ft away( rated using an app on my phone). Cool to touch. Longevity TBD. ... show more

    • Heats up quick
Style: Portable
Purchased for my 1 bdr apartment. Heats entire apartment in just a couple of hours. Haven't had to turn my furnace on yet and its amazing. Not some big bulky heater either. Fits right under an end table.

    • Great heater for cold weather camping
Style: Portable
Works very well for a small unit. We use ours in our motorhome to save propane during cold weather camping. Keepss home at 70 - 72 with no issues. Very quiet. Saves space too.

    • Great heater
Style: Portable
Review Image by Karen G. Karen G.
I decided to put it on a little stand and not use the legs. Very easy to use. It worked and started to heat immediately. Very different heat. Very warm. Too warm. I usually try to heat my room to 70. I am older now and like it a little warmer. But cannot afford to turn on my entire house a/c heat strip. Electric bill was outrageous. I always used my propane fireplace. After the old one going bad and having carbon monoxide poisoning twice, i bought a new one . Well, $2000 later, the installer did something wrong and carbon monoxide poisoning again, the logs were buring. I had them take it out. But there was nothing like the heat of fire. The heat strip forced air just didnt warm up the house. It just blows air through the cold air. I never felt warm. I installed an electric fire place heater with a beautiful fake fireplace. It is great for spring and fall, but not for temps below 35. The house heater would turn on when the temperature in the house went below 65. Or else the house would never be able to warm up again . The fireplace could heat it right away, but not now. And i would keep the house on 59 at night. That is why i tried this little infrared hybred heater. It was wonderful last night. At 70, my living room/kitchen go too hot. I felt warm, not just the air around me. Set at 65 last night, I saw it go off and on. Test itself. Kept the room perfect. I sleep in the living room . In the morning, it was not freezing cold, the room temperature shows 68, the machine 65. Objects feel warmer, like my house phone. It is very plesant. The area i am heating is about 400 sq ft. Very comfortable. If i need to take a shower and go to the bedroom, I'll turn on the house heat, but thats only for a little while. I will try to turn this machine up and see how far this heat will travel through my little 1000 sq ft house . But for now, im just testing where i mainly stay and closing off the 3 rooms i don't use . It is quiet, there was never an original burn off odor, directions are easy to follow. I used ECO mode. The stand i used was so it was a little higher off the floor and i believe to make it more steady. Lets see how it does throughout the winter here in the mountains of NC. So far, i like it and not a bad price . ... show more

    • It's a cute. well made and compact unit.. but..... (BIG BUT)
Style: Portable
I never really like to write negative reviews.. only if the product is awful, which this one IS NOT. The reason for my posting this review is to help others who, like me, have put in a TON of research and all of it points to this unit. Everything I read said that INFRARED space heaters were best of all the types... and this one is a HYBRID, which means that not only is it INFRARED but it also has a fan to help spread the heat. Every website dealing with small portable space heaters invariably pointed to this make and model as the best. HOW CAN SO MANY WEBSITES BE WRONG? The main problem FOR US, is that the unit just didn't have the power needed to heat our space. Even though the specifications cleared indicated it could easily handle our square footage... unfortunately it did not. The intent was to place it in our living room (which is a smallish living room, approx. 320sf) and sadly this cute little guy was clearly out of his league. IF YOU POINT IT DIRECTLY AT YOU and you ARE ALONE.. and it's 3 feet away... YES, it heats like the SUN. But for both myself and my wife, sitting next to each other.. it just couldn't handle it. We would contort our bodies in order to position our freezing feet and legs in a position where the small radiant heat area would cover. In the end, we went with a TALL (29") Ceramic Heater that oscillates... this did the job nicely. And it was $25 cheaper than this unit. SO... again, there is nothing WRONG with this unit.. very well made.. solid.. and it definitely heats.. but if you need it to heat more than one person in a room, it's not going to handle it. Hope this saves others from our research mistakes. ... show more
