Description

The Dr. Infrared Heater's Advanced Dual Heating System, combining PTC and Quartz Infrared Element, keeps you warm this winter while saving on heating bills. Equipped with a Dual Heating System and High Velocity Low Noise blower, the Dr. Infrared Heater increases the heat distribution and the result is heating your room to a comfortable temperature, fast. The Dr. Infrared Heater is certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) USA and Canada, ensuring the highest safety standard. The Dr. Infrared Heater is perfectly safe around children and pets and only gets warm to the touch. It does not have exposed heating elements that can cause a fire. The Dr. Infrared Heater comes with Energy saving Auto Mode, high and low setting when the mode is set to Auto, the unit will cycle on and off and switch between high or low setting to maintain the desired temperature setting. All Dr. Infrared heaters are engineered and designed in the USA. How is Dr. Heater Different from Other Heaters? Dr. Heater uses infrared heating, which heats objects in the room, instantly making you feel comfortably warm. By heating only the objects in the space--not the air--Dr. Heater provides maximum warmth and energy efficiency. With its state-of-the-art technology that helps the room retain air moisture, Dr. Heater do not dry out your skin like those convection heaters that blast out hot air, stripping the room of moisture. And the best part? It will save you money. Use Dr. Heater instead of your regular heating system, and you could save up to 50% on your next electricity bill. Plus, with its tip-over protection and auto shut-off overheat protection, you can sleep soundly knowing you have got a heater that is superior in safety. Tests Show Dr. Heater heats Faster and Better than Competing Heaters. In a side-by-side test comparison in airtight chambers with the same starting temperature, Dr. Heater heated the same amount of space much faster than a competing heater that has a price tag more than double that of Dr. Heater. Dr. Heater Delivers 60% more heat than other 1500-watt heaters. No magic trick--we just understand heat transfer better. Just because two heaters have the same wattage does not mean they transfer the same amount of heat. Wattage indicates the amount of electricity needed to power the heater--not the amount of heat it can deliver. Heater is the first to feature a dual heating system for maximum heat transfer rate. It combines the energy efficiency of infrared heat with the comfort of convection heat to heat your room fast and comfortably--without hot spots and cold spots. Dr. Heater uses a state-of-the-art 7-inch blower that generates higher pressure and moves larger air volume at a lower speed, without any of the noise of those other heaters on the market. Dr. Infrared Heater has three power Settings: Auto, Low 1000W and High 1500W. The auto energy saving mode allows you to set your desired temperature from 50-86F. It smartly selects between the two settings depending on your room temperature. The thermostat regulates the heater and causes it to cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature. You can also manually set the heater to run on High or Low all the time or with a timer. The heater has to be turned on first in order to use the remote. This a safety provision mandated by the Underwriters Laboratory. So, in order to use the remote, the first step for the user is to press the POWER button on the heater itself. This turns the heater on STANDBY. Then, pressing the POWER button on the remote will turn the heater on. The heater can't be turned on if the unit is not on STANDBY.

The heater arrived yesterday & I put it to use the second I unboxed it. I needed a heater with a blower for my living room. I also needed it to be location-flexible, so I chose this one since the reviews were good. It looks like the best heater of its type in my price range. I got the version with a humidifier on it in case I end up needing that, but I don't currently have it attached. I can add it later if I need to. It's about the size of one of those fabric storage cubes, if you've ever seen those, but slightly taller. I saw in the description that it had wheels, but it didn't click with me until I was setting it up. These are smooth rolling wheels that make it a breeze to roll around wherever you need it. You can make small adjustments with your foot, even. That said, if you have kids or pets, it moves easily enough that you'd want to eyeball it frequently to make sure it hasn't bumped into a dangerous position. It has a fairly long cord which adds to the placement flexibility. It's really nice looking for a heater. They aren't kidding when they say it's touch safe. I haven't felt the box heat up at all. It doesn't even get warm. Since it's a new heater, I've been feeling the cord periodically to make sure that's not getting hot either & the cord is staying nice & cool. I've mostly been using it on ECO & it's run for several hours non-stop & all is still cool. The controls on the front are intuitive & SUPER EASY with nice big buttons. The controls aren't fiddly at all. One of the things I really like about the control panel is that if you press the down arrow & the MODE button at the same time, it'll tell you the ambient air temperature of the room it's in, so you can see how you're doing as far as heating up the room. It's easy to press both at the same time because the large buttons are place in good proximity to each other. You could do it with two hands, if you needed to, but my hands are tiny & I can do it with one hand. And finally, my FAVORITE part of using this heater is that it's got a dual heating system inside. Sure, it's got the blower that works very well, but you're not only heated by the blower. It's got an infrared-type system too which helps you *feel* warmer while it's gradually heating your room. My little 100+ year old house is super drafty & cold. The heater has been on about an hour & the room has only come up a few degrees so far, but I feel warmer & more comfortable because of the infrared thing. For instance, when I got up this morning, the room temperature on the heater said 53 (verified as accurate by an actual thermometer in the room). It's been about an hour & the room temp is now 58 -- which is still pretty cold for a house, but I don't feel like it's only 58. I'm not grabbing for my blanket. I'm not directly in front of the heater either (sorta off to the side). This feeling warmer in a still cold room is very impressive. The point of heating is to feel more comfortable & this heater accomplishes this task much better than if it only had a blower. I can feel on my legs that the cold is still out there on the fringes, but it's not biting me -- if that makes sense. Would I buy this heater again? Absolutely. I feel like I got a good value & that the heater will last a long time. It's put together very well & there's no part of it that doesn't feel like it'll last. I'm very impressed. I'll update if any of this changes. ... show more

    • Updated my review...Have now purchased a 2nd...
Style: Original
We have a couple of Eden Pures, and decided to purchase one more. We found this one on Amazon and did some research on them. It sounded like they were pretty much the same type of heater as the eden pures, with a better price, so we purchased one.. It does work really well, although, I really can't figure out how all the different buttons work.. But as far as turning it on and having it run, it's great. It gets a lot hotter than the eden pures, and unfortunately, when we got our first electric bill after using it daily for a month, the bill had gone up significantly. It had a really strong odor when we first got it, which remained for a few days.. I was afraid it was a permanent smell, but it did start to fade eventually and is now gone. I guess I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone... I think the eden pures are probably the better choice. UPDATE: It's been 3 years or so since we purchased this unit. Since then, we've had the bulbs go out of 2 of our Eden Pures, which would cost over $100 for each unit to replace, IF we could find someone to replace them (we can't)... Considering this heater costs less than the price of new bulbs for the Eden Pures, it sheds a new light on this unit. I have started using this to heat my sewing room, which doesn't have another heat source since we no longer use our propane furnace. This unit heats up the back end of our house in no time and keeps it warm. I have since discovered that this is actually a ceramic heater with an infrared bulb, so the description is not completely accurate, which bothered me when I found out. But I have to admit, it puts out a great amount of heat and really does do a great job.. As for the electricity, we had blamed this unit for a spike in our electric bill, so we had started using it sparingly, only on really bitter cold days.. But since the eden pure I was using in my sewing room quit working, I've started using this one and our electric bill actually went down (there are other reasons, too.. We had a pellet stove installed in the main part of the house).. But my point, we blamed the spike on this unit, but now don't think it was really the culprit.. If we need another heater, we'll probably consider another one of these.. But I do think the sellers should change their description so that customers understand this is not just an infrared heater, but actually a ceramic heater, too... I guess on the plus side, if the infrared bulb blows on these units, the ceramic heater will still operate and produce heat, where with an eden pure, if you blow just one of the bulbs (they house 4 or 6), the unit will blow out cold air rather than heat.. You can change an eden pure bulbs yourself, if you can figure it out, but the bulbs still cost $100 for the set... Crazy considering each unit costs over $300 to begin with. In a comparison, for long term use, this heater wins over the eden pures. Costs less initially and will last longer... Winter of 2015: We are now heating with a pellet stove but the master bathroom stays a little chilly. Since we were having temps as low as 39 below in February, we decided to buy another one of these heaters to use in that bathroom. It's worked well and kept the bathroom nice and comfortable. They're easy to roll around if you want to move from one location to another, and the 1st one we purchased has outlasted the Eden Pures we had, at a much better price. I do have to question why Amazon keeps changing the price however. We bought our 2nd one for $89 and before we even received it, Amazon had raised the price to $129, where it's still at... Why the huge jump in price? $40 seems excessive for a price increase to me. ... show more
