Optimus - Infrared Quartz Portable Heater - Wood

I have had this heater for a few weeks now and so far it is working better than the one I was using. My bedroom is the coldest room, it has zero insulation and I spend a lot on heating in the winter for a small apartment. This year I put down carpeting and got a bigger heater (this heater) and the difference is amazing so far. We had a cold week and it kept the room toasty. Until this heater, the best heater I have owned was a tabletop infrared I picked up on sale Black Friday two years ago. I also have a ceramic which works well too. This unit shuts off when it hits the temp you set it at, it also has low and high, I have been running on low at 68. We will see when the bill comes how it faired. I will update the review. Normally I need to run two heaters, one at each end of the apartment and the radiator in the middle on low, with this I have only used the radiator on low and my apartment is warm. I also move the dryer vent inside in the winter, why waste heat? I really hope it saves me some money along with the carpets I put down. This unit is much larger than I expected, very solid, it wheels easily which is why I chose it. It also has a safety feature for tip over but I could not see this being tipped over unless you gave it a hard kick and even then I doubt it would go. This is a very nice heater, nothing about it feels cheap. I leave them running when I am not home, I lower the heat when we are not there. I feel completely safe to do it. If you are looking for a heater that is well built and can heat a large room, maybe even my whole apartment if I placed it in the middle, this is a great unit. Also the 1st time I ran I did have a slight smell but I expect this and it did not last long.

Three days in and we are loving this room heater. Previously we had been using a $35 Honeywell's space heater, but it was just too loud. This Optimus heater fan is really quiet. I'm so happy to have spent the extra money to purchase this. I just hope it lasts 3 to 5 winters. I've read online that this style unit, which is available from many different manufacturers can be defective to start or burn out early. Time will tell. If it does show any problems, I will be back to write an update. Otherwise, assume that it is getting 24 hour use in a cold Wisconsin winter location.

Great heater. It heats up the whole townhome of 1250 sq ft. It gives out a lot of heat so much so that you can reduce your electric bill. I am glad I bought this product.

Works great! Using for supplement heating, haven't turned it off Eco mode also haven't had to turn on my main furnace.

I have 2 story house and only one heating and ac unit - which never regulates the house. This has helped to that and doesn't cost an arm and a leg to run.

this little 4 element infrared heater is awesome!.my bedroom is the coldest room in the house here,,also the furthest heat duck run from the furnace,and if thats not enough my bedroom is on the northwest corner of the house.this little heater on the eco mode set on 68 degree's keeps my bedroom VERY toasty, and comfortable.all 3 temp setting work great.its the best portable indoor heater ive ever purchased.thank you optimus and best buy for such a awesome product!.heater is also very well construted, and high quailty, not like some cheap knock off bargain .

This is the best portable heater I could find for the best price deal. It heats up very fast and no noise at all. The wheels under the heater help to move it very easily. The wooden finish makes it a good decoration table for flowers or other decoration items too.

Warmth instantly and quiet. Really makes a difference in keeping the chill out of the room. My propane furnace doesn't run half the time now. I don't even notice any difference on my electric bill.
